What
This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how ZebraWords treats personal information
that ZebraWords collects and receives, including information related to
your past use of ZebraWords products and services. Personal information
is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name,
address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly
available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that ZebraWords
does not own or control, or to people that ZebraWords does not employ
or manage.
Information Collection and Use
General
ZebraWords collects personal information when you register with
ZebraWords, when you use ZebraWords products or services, when you visit
ZebraWords pages or the pages of certain ZebraWords partners, and when
you enter promotions or sweepstakes. ZebraWords may combine information
about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners
or other companies.
When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address,
birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry, and personal interests.
For some financial products and services we may also ask for your address,
Social Security number, and information about your assets. Once you register
with ZebraWords and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to
us.
ZebraWords collects information about your transactions with us and with
some of our business partners, including information about your use of
financial products and services that we offer.
ZebraWords automatically receives and records information on our server
logs from your browser, including your IP address, ZebraWords cookie information,
and the page you request.
ZebraWords uses information for the following general purposes: to customize
the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products
and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and
provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
Children
When a child under age 13 attempts to register with ZebraWords,
we ask that he or she have a parent or guardian create a ZebraWords Family
Account to obtain parental permission.
ZebraWords will not contact children under age 13 about special offers
or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission.
ZebraWords does not ask a child under age 13 for more personal information,
as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate
in a given activity or promotion.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
ZebraWords does not rent, sell, or share personal information
about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide
products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or
under the following circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or
with ZebraWords under confidentiality agreements. These companies may
use your personal information to help ZebraWords communicate with you
about offers from ZebraWords and our marketing partners. However, these
companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is
a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing ZebraWords to
collect and use their child's information without consenting to ZebraWords
sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this
information for their own purposes;
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish
or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of ZebraWords's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if ZebraWords is acquired by or merged
with another company. In this event, ZebraWords will notify you before
information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different
privacy policy.
ZebraWords displays targeted advertisements based on personal information.
Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who
interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria
- for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
ZebraWords does not provide any personal information to the advertiser
when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting
with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser
will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to
display the ad.
ZebraWords advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks,
insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial
companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
ZebraWords works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service
providers in different industries and categories of business. For more
information regarding providers of products or services that you've requested
