Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how Zavvy, its subsidiary and affiliate corporations, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as “Zavvy”) use and protect the information you provide. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to this World Wide Web site and any variations or successors to this website, any Zavvy services purchased or otherwise made available from the Zavvy Site. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to all Users (“Users”) of Zavvy Properties.
1. WHAT INFORMATION ZAVVY COLLECTS FROM YOU
Zavvy may collect two (2) types of information about you: Personal and Non-Personal.
1.1 Personal Information
Personal Information refers to information that lets Zavvy know the specifics of who you are and which may be used to identify, contact or locate you (e.g. name, mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address). Zavvy may collect Personal Information when you use the Zavvy Properties including, without limitation, setting up account information, filling out surveys, registering for events, corresponding with Zavvy, or otherwise volunteering information about yourself.
1.2 Non-Personal Information
Non-Personal Information refers to information that, by itself, does not identify you as a specific individual (e.g. demographic information or website visitations). Zavvy may collect Non-Personal Information through any of the methods discussed above as well as automatically through use of industry standard technologies described further below.
2. HOW ZAVVY COLLECTS YOUR INFORMATION
The Personal Information practices set forth apply to all Zavvy’s customers worldwide.
2.1. Registration
Prior to using one or more of the Zavvy Properties, Zavvy may require certain Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to create an individual account (“Account”) or to enable features or functionality of the Zavvy Properties. Failure to provide all required information required by Zavvy may prevent access to any or all Zavvy Properties, and failure to maintain accurate information may result in suspension or termination of access to any or all Zavvy Properties.
2.2 Information Collected Through Technology
While you are able to visit the Zavvy Site and remain anonymous, DACAST or its third party service providers may still collect Non-Personal Information about your use of the Zavvy Properties (e.g. your Internet browser, operating system, IP address, connection speed, and the domain name of your Internet service provider). Such information may be gathered by the following methods:
(a) Cookies. Cookies, including local shared objects, are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive which work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of the Zavvy Site. Cookies do not generally contain any Personal Information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Zavvy Properties unavailable to you.
(b) IP Address. You may visit many areas of the Zavvy Site anonymously without the need to become a registered User. Even in such cases, Zavvy may collect IP addresses automatically. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin Services with an Internet services provider. Each time you access the Zavvy Site and each time you request one of Zavvy’s pages, the server logs your IP address.
(c) Web Beacons. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in web pages and e-mails. Zavvy may use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that Zavvy sends to Users to determine whether they have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that constitutes Personal Information.
(d) Tracking Content Usage. If you use the Zavvy Services and you post audio visual materials including, without limitation, text, logos, artwork, graphics, pictures, advertisements, sound and other related intellectual property contained in such materials (collectively, “Content”) to your website or to a third party website, Zavvy tracks and captures Non-Personal Information associated with User accounts and the use of Content.
3. HOW ZAVVY USES YOUR INFORMATION
3.1 System Administration
Zavvy may use Non-Personal Information for the purposes of system administration, assisting in diagnosing problems with Zavvy servers, monitoring Zavvy’s system performance and traffic on the Zavvy Properties and to gather broad demographic information about Zavvy customers.
3.2 Personalization
Zavvy uses Cookies and IP Addresses to track features such as delivering Content specific to your interests and informing you of new, relevant services or certain third party offerings.
3.3 Notices to Registered Users
If you have registered for an Account, Zavvy may use your Personal Information to send e-mails regarding your registration, including confirmation to verify the accuracy of any information you have provided, and instructions on how to post Content. Zavvy may also send you e-mails to verify your identity or to notify you if Zavvy believes your use of Zavvy Properties violates any applicable agreement for the use of the Zavvy Properties.
3.4 Advertising
Zavvy may use Non-Personal Information to assist in optimizing the delivery of advertisements to viewers of your Content.
3.5 Promotional E-mails
Zavvy may use your Personal Information to send you e-mails periodically listing promotions or events relating to the Zavvy Properties or from Zavvy’s marketing partners or sponsors. You have the choice to opt-out of receiving such promotional e-mails by sending an e-mail to support@zavvy.co and/or following the instructions in such correspondence. Once Zavvy has processed your opt-out request, Zavvy will not send you promotional e-mails unless you opt back in to receiving such communications.
3.6 Contact Information
If you contact Zavvy by telephone, e-mail or letter, Zavvy may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence. If you report a problem with the Zavvy Properties, Zavvy may collect this information in a file specific to you. You may contact ZavvyD at support@zavvy.co to request the removal of this information from Zavvy’s database.
4. HOW TO ACCESS AND CHANGE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Upon request, Zavvy shall allow Users to update or correct Personal Information previously submitted, but only to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Additionally, upon request, Zavvy shall delete Personal Information from the database where such information is stored; however, it may be impossible to entirely delete a User’s entry without some residual information being retained due to the manner in which data backups are maintained. Requests to delete Personal Information shall be submitted to support@zavvy.co.
5. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
Zavvy does not sell, trade or rent Personal Information collected through the Zavvy Properties to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zavvy shall: (1) fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies; and (2) may be required to disclose Personal Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.
6. SAFEGUARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
6.1 Security Measures
Zavvy takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of Personal Information. These include, but are not limited to, internal reviews of: (a) Zavvy’s data collection; (b) storage and processing practices; (c) electronic security measures; and (d) physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where Zavvy stores Personal Information. All Zavvy employees, contractors and agents who access Personal Information are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution or unauthorized use or disclosure of Personal Information.
6.2 Third-Party Links
The Zavvy Properties may contain links to third parties who may collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information directly from you. Additionally, Zavvy may use third parties to provide components of the Zavvy Properties. In either case, such third parties may have separate privacy policies and data collection practices, independent of Zavvy. Zavvy: (a) has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions; (b) is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites; and (c) does not make any warranties or representations about the contents, products or services offered on such websites or the security of any information you provide to them.
7. CHANGES TO ZAVVY’S PRIVACY POLICY
Zavvy continually strives to implement new technologies and processes to better protect you, your privacy and your use of the Zavvy Properties. As a result, changes to this Privacy Policy may be made by Zavvy from time to time. In no event will these changes result in the degradation of any of the security measures designed to protect you from unauthorized disclosure, as such measures are described in this Privacy Policy.
8. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING PEOPLE UNDER 21 YEARS OF AGE
Use of the Zavvy Properties is not intended for people under the age of 21 (“Minors”). Minors are not authorized by Zavvy to use the Zavvy Properties, even if Minors set up an Account or accept the terms of any agreement for Zavvy Properties. Parents or guardians may authorize Minors between the ages of 13 and 17 to use the Zavvy Properties, provided they assume all responsibility and legal liability for the conduct of such Minor including, without limitation, monitoring the Minor’s access and use of the Zavvy Properties. Zavvy does not intentionally collect nor maintain any personally identifiable information from Minors. If you discover your Minor child has submitted his/her information to Zavvy, you may request to have such information deleted from Zavvy’s database by sending an e-mail request to support@zavvy.co together with the e-mail address that was submitted by the Minor. Upon receiving the request, Zavvy shall delete such information within twenty (20) business days.
