Your privacy is important to us. Through this document, we would like to give transparency to you on how we handle private data and how we collect, use and disclose your information. 

This Privacy Policy governs your access of the Website and Platform (hereby referred to as “Platform”, as defined in the Terms of Use at www.zbyte.io/legal ), regardless of how you access it – whether on a mobile device or a desktop browser.  By using our Platform, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and other uses of information, as it is described in this Privacy Policy. All of the different forms of data, content, and information described below are collectively referred to as “information.” 

1. Personally Identifiable Information

“Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that concerns you individually and would permit someone to contact you, for example, your name, address, telephone/fax number, email address or any information you submit to us that identifies you individually.

Except as provided below, this Platform will not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you provide it.  Therefore, if you do not want us to obtain any personally identifiable information about you, please do not submit it to us.

You may be able to visit and browse the Platform Website without revealing personally identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose personally identifiable information about yourself, which may be maintained as described below.  This Website may collect personally identifiable information about you.

You may also choose to communicate with us through email, via our website, by telephone, in writing, or through other means. We may collect the information in these communications, and such information may be personally identifiable.

1. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit the Website, like when you visit most other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged, which may include information about the type of browser you use, the server name and IP address through which you access the internet, the date and time you access the site, the pages you access while at the Website, and the internet address of the website, if any, from which you linked directly to the website. This information is not personally identifiable.

• Information Use

We may use the personally identifiable information collected through its Website  for such purposes as: helping to establish and verify the identity of users; opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users’ accounts or memberships; processing, servicing or enforcing transactions and sending related communications; providing services and support to users; improving the Platform, including tailoring it to users’ preferences; providing users with product or service updates, promotional notices and offers, and other information about us and its affiliates.  We use the anonymous browsing information collected automatically by its servers primarily to help it administer and improve the Platform. We may also use aggregated anonymous information to provide information to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities. Again, this information is not personally identifiable.

1. Disclosure of Information

We do not provide personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties for their use in marketing directly to you. We may use unaffiliated companies to help it maintain and operate the Platform or for other reasons related to the operation of its business, and those companies may receive your personally identifiable information for that purpose. We may also disclose personally identifiable information about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request, or investigation, or as otherwise permitted by law, any governmental authority or agency.

1. Children’s Privacy

This Platform is directed toward and designed for use by persons aged 13 or older. We will not approve applications of or establish or maintain registrations for any child whom we know to be under the age of 13.

If we nevertheless discover that it has received personally identifiable information from an individual who indicates that he or she is, or whom we otherwise have reason to believe is, under the age of 13, we will endeavor to delete such information from its systems. Additionally, a child’s parent or legal guardian may request that the child’s information be corrected or deleted from our files by requesting this via our Contact Us page.

1. “Cookies” and Advertisers

The Platform’s server, or the servers of companies that are used to operate this site, may place a “cookie” on your computer in order to allow you to use the Web User Interface and to personalize your experience.

Cookies allow us to recognize your computer while you are on our Website and help customize your online experience and make it more convenient for you, as well as help us serve promotions/ads based on past visits and preferences. Cookies are also useful in allowing more efficient log-in for users, tracking transaction histories and preserving information between sessions. The information collected from cookies may also be used to improve the functionality of the website.

We may use remarketing with various analytics and advertising third-party services to advertise online. Third-party vendors may show ads on sites across the Internet.
