Privacy Statement
zipple.com takes seriously the issue of safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following to understand our views and practices regarding this matter, and how they pertain to you as you make full use of our many offerings. This statement discloses the privacy practices for the entire Web site.
Our Privacy Vow
Our goal at zipple.com is to be "JewishSpace in CyberSpace" by providing you with the information and services that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, we need to collect information to understand what differentiates you from each of our other unique users. However, we also want to make certain that your wishes are respected, so we have specific ways for you to manage your privacy requests. We collect information in two ways.
- Registration
We obtain basic biographical information such as your name, e-mail address and postal addresses when you register for certain zipple.com services such as contests, chat, e-mail, and promotions. This information is used to personalize your zipple.com experience and verify your identity. Any fee based membership areas are tracked through this registration process.
- Cookies
Visits to our site are tracked by giving visitors a "cookie" when they enter (As you know food is an important part of any Jewish experience). Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. zipple.com uses cookies to make visiting our site easier since cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you won't have to re-enter them the next time you visit. Although most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, if you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you've received a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. However, if you choose that option certain sites will not function properly. Cookies help us collect anonymous click stream data for tracking user trends and patterns so that we can provide you with better services. In addition, third party advertising networks may issue cookies as part of their advertisements. Cookies are now an industry standard, and you'll find them used on most major websites. We make no warranties that these cookies are kosher.
Use of Information
All of the information we collect (directly from what you tell us, and indirectly from what we collect through the use of cookies) is "aggregated" so that the information is grouped together. We use the combined information to evaluate which products and services are successful and which ones are not. We also utilize this information to evaluate which new services we should make available on our website. We use only the anonymous click stream data to help our advertisers deliver better targeted advertisements. zipple.com will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
Sharing of Information
The individually identifiable information that you provide to zipple.com will be used extensively within the zipple.com Network to provide a personalized experience to you. For example, we may share this information with related parts of the zipple.com family of services so you will be able to receive the additional services without having to register again.
zipple.com will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about its users to any third party without first receiving that user’s permission. This policy is designed to prevent such information from appearing in unauthorized mailings and other solicitations.
Opt-Out
We offer you the ability to opt-out of receiving information on zipple.com updates and new services at the point of collection.
Correct/Update
To edit your personal information, please re-visit the manage your account section of zipple.com.
Any modifications to this policy will be posted in this space.
We welcome any questions or comments you have, please send them to:webmaster@zipple.com
Your experience to us is extremely important and we respect your rights. We will do ANYTHING to avoid a call from your mother!
