Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use various tracking technologies to collect information, and this may include sending cookies to you. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us to improve our Products and Services and your experience, to see which of their areas and features are popular, and to count visits. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, some of our Products and Services may not work or function properly or with full functionality.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential: cookies required for access to our website and its core functionality.
• Behavioral/Analytical: cookies used to gather behavioral information through our website, provide customized content and recommendations, and analytics.

Additionally we use the following tracking technologies to improve our Products and Services:

• Web beacons: also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs” to track when some of our emails are accessed or opened or when certain content is viewed or clicked. The statistics from web beacons help us understand which marketing campaigns are successful and who is interested in our products or services; over time, this helps us calibrate and improve our results so we are sending the most interesting content to the most interested people.
• Social media widgets: which are links to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn (that might include widgets, such as, the “share this” button or other interactive mini-programs). These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the website and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website(s). Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
• Google Analytics: we also use Google Analytics to collect information regarding visitor behavior and demographics on some of our Products and Services. This analytics data is not tied to any personal information other than location data. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Other Sites and Products and Services

The Products and Services may contain links to websites and other online services operated by third parties. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be integrated into websites or other online services that are not associated with us.

We do not control websites or other online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the third party websites and online services to understand how these third parties use and share your personal information.

Security

We work hard to keep your information safe. Zapdot uses industry-standard technology (e.g. SSL) to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

When you register for the Products and Services, Zapdot requires you to create a password for your privacy and security. This password is stored in an encrypted manner on our systems. You should take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to your passwords, limit access to your mobile device or computer, and sign out when you are not actively using the Products and Services.

While we aim to protect the privacy and security of your account and personal information, unfortunately no security measures are failsafe, and we cannot guarantee complete security of your personal information.
