Your IP address is the unique address of your computer which is
automatically provided to other computers when your web browser or

that may not be currently available.
- Zovue will not sell your information to other companies.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Zovue always looks for ways to improve the Zovue experience. In order to do this, we need to collect some information:
- Zovue will display your profile information
based on the security preferences you have chosen. Your username will
be displayed so other Zovue members can locate you, if you choose to
allow this option. Zovue will use your email address to contact you
from time to time and may also use it for security reasons to confirm
your identity. We may use the information collected automatically, such
as your IP address, information stored via cookies, and information
about how you use the Zovue to develop statistics and aggregate
information about the number of people who visited Zovue and to improve
the Zovue experience. We may share this information with third parties
who have the necessary tools to help us improve Zovue for the benefit
of the members.
- Advertisements that appear on Zovue are delivered to you by Zovue’s advertising affiliates, partners and service providers. Zovue may transfer information about you and your use of Zovue, such as your IP address, information stored via cookies, and other demographic information about you, to our advertising affiliates, partners and other third parties. This information may be used to provide advertising, promotions and other products and services that may be of particular interest to you.
Zovue does not provide your name or personal
contact information to an advertising partner when you interact with or
view a targeted advertisement.
Zovue may provide the data generated by cookies and the aggregate information to the vendors and service agencies to ensure that Zovue users receive the best advertising available. Such third party entities will be obligated to use your personally identifiable information solely for the purpose of providing advertising on Zovue.
Zovue wants to ensure that its members are not involved in any criminal or unlawful activities. Therefore, information disclosed by Zovue users, including the contents of your online profile and communications, may be accessed or disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); in other circumstances in which Zovue believes the Zovue service is being used in the commission of a crime; when we have a good faith that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; or when necessary to protect the rights or property of Zovue and its affiliates, or for us to render the service you have requested.
In case there is a transfer of ownership of Zovue.com, such as an acquisition by or merger with another company, all Zovue profiles and services will be transferred automatically.
Adding Friends to the Zovue Network
If you would like to add a friend to your network, Zovue will send an
email on your behalf to the person, or persons you have selected. Once
confirmation has been received that the friend has accepted your
invitation, you will be notified of their acceptance when you access
your Zovue profile.
Information Collected on Other Websites
Only when you are in the Zovue website does this Privacy Policy apply.
Zovue will show advertisements and links to other websites and services
that are not owned or controlled by Zovue. These sites have their own
privacy policies and Zovue is not responsible for their privacy
practices. Please become familiar with each websites privacy policies
since they will differ from Zovue’s.
Web Traffic Analysis
Zovue utilizes web traffic analysis in order to track the popularity of certain products being sold on the Shopping page as well as
purchasing trends. We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving your shopping experience, and communicating with you. By collecting information such as popularity of certain pages we will be better able to make improvements to our website.
Zovue Uses Cookies
In order to provide data and statistics to improve the Zovue
experience, we may link information stored in cookies such as your age,
gender and country with your personally identifiable information.
Zovue also will use cookies so that advertisers can
use their technology to count the number of users that have
viewed their ads or clicked on their links. Zovue and its advertisers
may also use third party ad networks to help present and manage
advertisements. These ad networks use cookies, web beacons, or similar
technologies on your computer to measure the effectiveness of their
advertisements. This way, if the ad is annoying, the advertisers will
quickly change their strategy, which means better advertising for Zovue
members.
Zovue Security Settings
Your profile information will only be displayed to the extent that you

settings, you can limit the amount of people that can see your photos,
blogs, videos, blitz photos and friends. Please remember, if you choose
to share your personal information (including any comments, videos,
photos or any other information) to other people on Zovue, you do so at
your own risk. Zovue recommends that you don't use your real name or

Children
Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use Zovue and must not
attempt to register or submit any personal information to us. Zovue
does not knowingly collect personal information from any person who is
under the age of 13, or allow them to register. If it comes to our
attention that we have collected personal data from a person under the
age of 13, we will delete this information as quickly as possible. If
you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact us
via the support@zovue.com, and we will investigate this allegation.
Security and confidentiality
Zovue has installed and programmed physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards to store and maintain your information in a secure
environment. For example, when highly confidential information, such as
a credit card number, is transmitted through our website, it is
encrypted by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software. Zovue uses
Verisgn for its SSL security. Please keep your password secure since
Zovue cannot stop people from entering your profile using stolen
passwords. When choosing a password, you assume full responsibility for
maintaining the confidentiality of your password. Although Zovue tries
to keep your information secure, the internet changes and Zovue is not
responsible for unavoidable disclosures of your personal information.
Zovue does not guarantee that your information will be secure under all
circumstances.
If you become aware of any breach of data security or have any other
questions about the security of our website, please contact us at
support@zovue.com
Changes in Privacy Policy
Zovue reserves the right to update this policy as deemed necessary. If
we make any material changes to this policy, it will be posted on
Zovue’s homepage and in the settings tab area in My Profile. We
encourage you to periodically review these areas for the latest
information on our privacy practices.
YOUR CONTINUED USE OF ZOVUE FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE ON
OUR WEBSITE OR SETTINGS PAGE OR RECEIVING OUR EMAIL NOTIFYING YOU OF
THE CHANGE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
