Information we collect and how we use it:

 

When you sign up for a Zentation Account, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other Zentation services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.

 

 

When you visit Zentation, we send one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser.  Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Zentation features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

 

 

When you use Zentation services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

 

 

When you send email or other communication to Zentation, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.

 

 

We may offer some of our services in connection with other web sites. Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to Zentation in order to deliver the service. We process such information in accordance with this Policy. The affiliated sites may have different privacy practices and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

 

 

Zentation may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of services.

 

 

This Privacy Policy applies to web sites and services that are owned and operated by Zentation. We do not exercise control over the sites displaying content used within Zentation. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.

 

Zentation only processes personal information for the purposes described in the applicable Privacy Policy and/or privacy notice for specific services. In addition to the above, such purposes include:

 

 

Zentation processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information on a server outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide our own services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of and according to the instructions of a third party, such as our advertising partners.

 

 

Choices for personal information

 

When you sign up for Zentation, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

 

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.

 

You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case Zentation may not be able to provide those services to you.

 

Information sharing

 

Zentation only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Zentation in the following limited circumstances:

 

 

If Zentation becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

 

We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you individually.

 

Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.

 

Information security

 

We restrict access to personal information to Zentation employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

 

Data integrity

 

Zentation processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Zentation regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or Zentation's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site or by writing to us at Privacy Matters, c/o MVP Collaborative, LLC, 1751 E.

We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Zentation and an individual.
