1. INTRODUCTION
RegZip respects your right to privacy and is committed to protecting it. You can visit most pages on our Website without providing us any information about yourself. Sometimes, however, we do require information to provide services that you request. Please read this Privacy Statement to learn more about the ways in which we use and protect your personal information. If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use our Website, nor should you sign up for the Services offered by RegZip.
2. APPLICATION
The privacy practices of this statement apply to the web-based services ("Services") available under the domain and sub-domains of RegZip.com (collectively, our "Website"). Use of the Website is subject to RegZip's Terms of Service. Please note that the Website contains links to other sites that may have privacy statements which differ from that of RegZip. This Privacy Statement only addresses services from our Website.
3. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Use of our Services may require information that personally identifies you or enables us to contact you. This information is generally requested through our Website upon registration for use of our Services. For example, if you select a service or transaction that requires payment, we will request certain personal information necessary for providing the service and for billing purposes. Such personal information may include but is not limited to your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card information.
RegZip also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used to personalize and optimize your experience on our Website and the operation of our Services, to maintain the quality of our Services, and to provide us general statistics regarding use of our Website.
4. USE OF INFORMATION
RegZip has several uses for the information we collect about you. Mainly, we use your information to facilitate the services you request. Other uses of this information are to specify unique preferences, to provide personalized content or/and to contact you regarding new or future RegZip products and services.
RegZip will not sell or share your e-mail address or other personal information with any unaffiliated third parties without your explicit prior consent, except in the limited circumstances set out in Section 5 (Sharing of Information) below.
Personal information may be shared with RegZip's contractors and agents, such as our credit card processor, who are bound by confidentiality obligations, in order to provide you with services. Unless we inform you otherwise, these companies do not have a right to use the personal information we share with them beyond what is essential to provide their contracted service. RegZip also reserves the right to provide aggregate data to third parties for statistical analysis. Such data will not be linked to any particular individuals and will be anonymous. We will retain your personal information only for as long as it remains necessary or relevant for the purposes stated above or as otherwise required by law.
5. SHARING OF INFORMATION
RegZip may disclose your personal information if such disclosure is (i) made pursuant to a legal proceeding or is required by law, (ii) is necessary to protect and defend the rights or property of RegZip, our Website, our Services, or our users; (iii) necessary to protect the personal safety of RegZip personnel, our users, or the public; or (iv) required to enforce or apply our Terms of Service.
6. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
RegZip is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store all personal information on a secure server that only authorized RegZip personnel have access to via password. We use 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transmitting sensitive data, such as your password or credit card information.
7. MODIFYING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
RegZip's secure user interface provides you with full, password-protected access to any of your personal information stored on our Website. This interface allows you to modify personal information to the extent that such modification will not compromise our privacy or security interests. We do not accept requests to modify personal information by phone or e-mail, as we cannot verify your identity or authority to make such modifications in this manner. These methods of data transmission are also insecure and do not provide the level of protection established by our privacy and security measures.
8. REVISION OF PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to revise the above Privacy Policy at any time. Although it is your responsibility to be up to date with regard to changes to the Privacy Policy, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in the event of a significant change.
