Booking With cleartrip.com… Wait!

I don’t really bother reading “Privacy Policy” on websites before purchasing stuff. But when it comes to Indian Websites, i advice everyone to go thought the fine line.

Below is a cut & paste of the privacy policy i read on cleartrip.com. To know just how much “Cleartrip is fanatical about protecting your privacy” , please read the bottom para of the quote.
