If you create an account with us, we may collect your name, tax identification number, mailing address, email address, and other information that we request during the registration process, and any information that you provide through your account management page or the Website or service. If you sign up to receive a newsletter, we will collect your email address.
Communications with Us. If you communicate with us regarding the Website or services, we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication.
Personal Information. We use Personal Information primarily for internal business purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating and improving the Website and the services offered through the Website, fulfilling requests for information, producing and shipping the products that you order, and providing customer support. For example, if you create an account with us, we will use the information that you provide us to communicate with you. Similarly, if you sign up to subscribe to a newsletter, we will use the email address you provide to send you the newsletters.
Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Website. Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Website and to compile statistical reports on Website activity for ZWebtech. For more information regarding how Google Analytics protects your data, please visit Google’s website at www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.
Cookies. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that website to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences, and other information. When you visit our Website we send one or more “cookies” to your computer or other device. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. We use cookies to improve the quality of the Website and services, including to store user preferences, to track user trends, and to provide relevant advertising to you.
Legal Basis For Collecting Your Information
ZWebtech collects and processes your data to provide the products and services you have requested or purchased, and to monitor, evaluate and improve our business and the products and services we provide. We use your Personal Information to communicate with you concerning products and services you have requested or purchased, as well as other products and services we offer that you may be interested in. ZWebtech may also have a legitimate interest in processing data to better understand the needs, concerns and interests of its customers.
Data Storage and Retention
Your Personal Information is stored by ZWebtech on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services it engages, located in the United States. ZWebtech retains data for the duration of the customer’s business relationship with ZWebtech, for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy, or for such other period as may be permitted or required by law, whichever is longest.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
Personal Information. We use industry standard physical, technical and administrative security measures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. When you enter sensitive information such as a credit card number on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us.
Website Content. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your account and login information. Please note that content that you store or transmit through the Website or services, or e-mails and other communications you send to us, are not encrypted. You should not assume that your content will be kept private, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.
Making Changes To Your Personal Information
If you have questions about your Personal Information or need to update it, you can email us at mail@zwebtech.com, or call us at (240) 813-4618. If you close your account, we will no longer use your online account information or share it with third parties. We may, however, retain a copy of the information for archival purposes and to avoid identity theft or fraud and for other legitimate business purposes. You can opt-out of receiving marketing or promotional e-mails from ZWebtech by going to the account management section of the Website, or by using the opt-out or unsubscribe feature contained in the marketing or promotional e-mails.
We also provide you the opportunity to opt-out of having your information used for certain purposes. For example, if you purchase a product but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
