This Policy describes how ZoisCompany collects and uses the personal information you provide on-line, including through its mobile application. It also describes the choices available to you regarding the use of, your access to, and how to update and correct your personal information. For state data privacy protections please see the State Data Privacy Notices section of this policy. Please read the following Privacy Policy so that you understand our process and safeguards.

Agreement to this Privacy Policy:
By using the Website, you consent to this Privacy Policy, including your consent to our use and disclosure of information about you in the manner described herein.

What Personal Information is collected
If you interact with our Website or mobile application by submitting feedback, joining a mailing list, or registering, you may provide Personal Information to us. Personal Information means personally identifiable information such as information you provide via forms or other online fields including name, email addresses, telephone, fax or mobile numbers, as well as records associated with your credit profile.

How your Personal Information is used
We collect and store on our database the information that you submit to use during your membership, including but not limited to the Sign Up stage. To make our web services easier to use, the Website allows you to create a “Client ID” so that at any time you may access your personal information and track your progress through the Client Portal. The system does this by saving your information and assigns you a Client ID.

Your personal information is required to service your account. The information we require is the absolute minimum necessary. ZoisCompany uses your personal data to ensure that you are kept in constant contact with the real time campaigns. We keep you up updated on the latest feature updates, special offers, and any other information necessary to fulfill our obligation to you as our client. In order to fulfill our obligation to you we do share your personal information with staff employees of ZoisCompany so that your services may be effectively and timely performed.

How We Share Your Information

Third Parties
We may sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your name, address, city, town, any form or online contact identifier email, and phone number. We share your information with other companies who provide us with services to help promote our content via email and text alerts, as well as with reputable companies who may be able to offer you assistance.

Service Providers
We may disclose your Personal Information to other companies that help us correspond with you.

Legal Obligations
We may disclose or report your Personal Information when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required or permitted under law, for example, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities or to resolve consumer disputes.

Business Transition
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Website or mobile application of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information.

How we safeguard your Personal Information
ZoisCompany safeguards the security of your personal data. We take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet visiting our Website or mobile application. ZoisCompany advises you to change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser. Our Website uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card or checking account information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

Within ZoisCompany, we restrict access to information about you to those employees who need to know the information in order to perform their jobs, such as servicing your accounts, providing you with information you request, or notifying you of new products and services. To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology.

How anonymous information is collected and used
When you browse ZoisCompany’s Website, you are able to do so anonymously. We do not collect personal information when you browse. However, we do have mechanisms that track pages visited as well as location data, logs and other communication data, and information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system and browser type. When you are using our mobile application, we may similarly track these items as well as mobile network provider and geographic location.

Tracking Mechanisms and Deletion of Cookies
Our Website and our mobile application use some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including data encryption, transmission encryption, user names and passwords. These technologies provide an elevated level of security and privacy when you access your account information, initiate online transactions, or send secure messages.

We use a variety of online technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, and similar mechanisms, as described further below, to collect information that helps us understand how our website and our mobile application are used. Specifically, when you visit ZoisCompany’s online, we or our third-party service providers may automatically collect a variety of technical and navigational information about you via these technologies, including: your computer or device type; operating system version; browser type and version; user agent string; internet connection type; mobile network provider; date and time of your visit; time since your last visit; pages you view; links you click; searches you conduct; the internet protocol (IP) address used to access our website or mobile application; your general geographic location (e.g., your city, state, or zip code); and the website visited before our site. We also may use similar tracking technologies in emails that we or third parties send to you, as further described below. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues or to resolve technical or service problems. We also analyze this information, with the assistance of our service providers, to improve our website and mobile application design and functionality, to enhance our ability to serve you and your accounts, and to tailor our communications to you regarding our products and services.

Cookies
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a website or a mobile application. Cookies contain information that is transferred to or read on your device and allow websites and mobile applications to recognize devices and store certain information, such as user preferences. Cookies are used to distinguish you from other users of our online services. This helps us to provide you with a useful experience when you browse and also allows us to improve our online services. We and our third-party service providers use session cookies, which link your actions during a particular online session and expire at the end of that session, as well as persistent cookies, which remain on your device and allow us to remember your actions or preferences across multiple sessions.

If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer or other device, you can set your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your device. The help feature on most web browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to receive notice when a new cookie is set, and how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of our Website or our mobile application may not operate correctly. For further information about deleting or blocking cookies, please visit allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ External site. Information about how to opt out of the use of cookies for certain purposes (such as interest-based advertising) is discussed in the section titled “Third-party analytics and interest-based advertising.”

Web beacons
Our Website, our mobile application, and the emails that you receive from ZoisCompany may use an application known as a web beacon (also known as a pixel tag or clear gif). A web beacon is a tiny transparent image embedded in a web or mobile application page or an email to measure usage and activity. In some cases, a web beacon triggers the placement of a persistent cookie on your device. ZoisCompany.com offer customized features that may require our use of cookies and web beacons. Certain sections of our Website and mobile application may require cookies to be enabled to support site or application performance and provide enhanced authentication. For example, cookies enable us to personalize and improve your user experience and help enhance navigation. Cookies also help us to understand how people use our online services so that we can improve their structure, functionality, and content. Web beacons allow us, directly or through our third-party service providers, to collect information used for Website and mobile application analytics, such as how many users have visited particular pages or downloaded documents, or how frequently users search for a particular term. However, our use of these cookies and web beacons is limited. We do not use them to pull other data from your hard drive or to view data in cookies or other similar data files created by other websites.

We and our service providers may use web beacons and cookies to determine whether and when you receive and open our emails; these beacons and cookies may also capture information about the type of device, operating system, email program, and web browser used to view the email, the IP address from which you opened the email, and whether you click any links in the email. These technologies enable us to gauge the effectiveness, relevance, and value of our email communications, as well as to target relevant advertising to you and to measure the impact of that advertising.

Our Website may include links to third-party sites or information that we think may be of interest to you. When you click these links and leave our Website, our site’s terms and conditions of use and Privacy Policy no longer apply. You are responsible for complying with the third-party site’s terms of use and understanding its privacy policy, both of which you should review carefully.

Our Website may enable you to share information directly with websites or online services operated by third parties. For example, our Website may contain features that allow you to share articles or content through Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other services, and to view content through video players and other services (such as the YouTube video player). If you choose to use these features, you may disclose information to users of those websites or services and the public more generally. Even if you do not click these plug-in features, these third parties may collect information about you, such as your IP address and the pages that you view, and they may also set and/or access a cookie on your device. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated by ZoisCompany, we are not responsible for their content or practices. The collection, use, and disclosure of information through these websites and services are subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this privacy policy.

Do Not Track Disclosures
How do we respond to Web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services?
We currently do not respond to DNT signals in browsers because we do not track individual users across the web.

May other parties collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when they visit www.ZoisCompany.com?
No
