This Privacy Notice tells you about your privacy rights and sets out how we, as a controller, collect, use, process and disclose your personal data relating to your interactions with the Zubie.com and corresponding websites (the Websites), which are owned and operated by the Zubie Inc.

Our Privacy Policy is regularly reviewed to ensure that we continue to respect your privacy. We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing the updated version on the Websites. We therefore encourage you to review our Privacy Policy periodically for the most up to date information.

We take great care of any information that you give us, and in the following paragraphs we set out how any personal information you give us is treated.

Zubie understands that privacy is important to you so we are providing a plain English summary of each section of the Privacy Policy below. This Privacy Policy explains the details of how we collect, use, share and protect the information we collect from you.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information we collect on zubie.com (the “site”), (the “Service”). In some cases, a part of the Service may provide additional detail about our privacy practices.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect on the websites, how we may use that information and with whom we may share it. We also tell you how you can reach us to ask us to update your preferences regarding how we communicate with you or answer any questions you may have about our privacy practices.

Anyone who visits, browses, or otherwise uses the websites (collectively, “you” or “user”) is subject to this Privacy Policy. Before using and submitting any information to the website, please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the website, including the submission of any personal information, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and consent to having your data transferred to and/or processed in the United States. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, your choice is not to use the websites. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and your continued use of the websites after we make changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. Please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates. This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties.

Information You Submit

We may collect the time and geographic location of your device when you do so. This information may also include where you came to the Websites from, and where you went when you left it.

How We Use Your Information

We will only use your personal data for the purposes set below

To provide you with the Website, which requires a certain amount of technical information to be collected in order to work properly.
To power security measures and related services relating to your access to the Website for example to enable us to recognize your username and password and reset these if you forget them.
To enable you to order products from us on the Website, which again requires a certain amount of personal data to be collected, for example your payment card details so we can take payment and the products you buy so we can provide you with an invoice and receipt.
To enable us to run competitions and offers for which you have signed up, about which we need to be able to communicate with you.
To gather feedback from you about the Website, our products, other services and activities from time to time. We may invite you to provide this feedback on occasion, for example by emailing you to ask if you would like to review a product you have bought. We may use independent research and feedback providers to do so on our behalf.
To contact you from time to time about things you have told us you want to hear about, for example our products, news, offers, new competitions and sponsored events.
To respond to any questions, suggestions, issues or complaints you have raised with us.
To respond to any social media posts or other public comments you make where these are made to or about us, the Website, our products, services or other activities.
To communicate with you about operational changes to the Website, our products, services, for example if we were to withdraw or change this privacy policy.
To perform any contract we have entered into with you but also to enforce a contract against you if you do not honor it, including seeking to collect any debts that you may owe us.
To gather statistics about how you and other people use the Website, and what you think of our adverts, offers, news, product information, competitions, sponsored events, social media and other digital content. We then analyze these statistics to understand if these things meet most people’s needs, or if they should be improved, and if so, what design or other changes (for example, around the nature and timing of communications) would be most beneficial for our customers and our business.
To monitor use of the Website to see if it is being abused or threatened for example by people posting inappropriate comments in review areas or by potential hackers looking to undermine their security.
To protect you and our business against any other criminal behavior, including identity theft and fraud.
To understand you better and, in particular, your habits, your location from time to time and your personal circumstances.
To enable us and our third party service providers to plan and manage our day-to-day business and related services as effectively as possible, for example in predicting likely sales volumes of each product, so we can try and make sure we have enough stock to meet likely demand.
To enable us to understand what our customer and user base looks like across our business. We do this by combining your information with information about our other customers and users of the Website, so we can spot trends and common factors.
To enable us to conduct focused market research based on trends that we identify, which we can then use to further improve our products and services for all our customers.
In the process of anonymizing your information so that you are no longer identifiable to us.
To test new systems and processes as we roll them out to make sure they work and will meet the high expectations we set for ourselves.
To assist us in the development of new products and services over time, for example to gauge whether a new product is likely to appeal to a large proportion of our customer base.
To analyze whether the money we spend on advertising on trade publications and trade websites, online and in search engines represents good value.

Who do we share information with

We cannot run our business or provide many of our services and benefits without involving other people and businesses and sometimes we pass your information to these other people and businesses as set out below. We only share your information where we can do so in accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations. We share the information we collect with:

Other people and businesses who help us provide the Websites, and related services to you, for example, information technology companies who design and host the Websites and payment services companies who enable you to use payment cards with us.
Advertiser and advertising networks which require the data to select and serve relevant advertisements to you and others. We may use the information we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advert to that target audience.
Third parties who in our reasonable opinion make a claim that any content posted or uploaded by you to the Website constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy.
Analytics and search engine providers who assist us in the improvement and optimization of the Websites.
Our insurers and insurance brokers where required in order for us to be able to obtain insurance against risks we face in running our business. They may retain this information for the purpose of ongoing risk assessment and insurance broking and underwriting services.
Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you.
The prospective buyer of any part of our business or assets that we may sell.
Our professional advisers for example our lawyers, accountants and technology consultants when they need it to provide advice to us.
The police, local authorities, the courts and any other central or local government bodies where they request it and we may lawfully disclose it, for example for the prevention and detection of crime.
Other people who make a subject access request to us, where we are allowed to do so by law

We also may disclose your information in special cases. For example, when we believe that we must disclose information to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use, or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other website users or customers and their information, or anyone else who may be harmed by such activities. We may disclose, access or monitor your personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services and our information security.

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of our businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy notice.

Social Media, Blogs, Reviews, and Similar Services

Any posts or comments you make to us on social media will be shared under the terms of the relevant social media platform (for example, Facebook or LinkedIn) on which they are made and could be made public by that platform. These platforms are controlled by other people, not us, so we are not responsible for this sharing. You should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the social media platforms you use to ensure you understand how they will use your information, what information relating to you they will place in the public domain and how you can stop them from doing so if you are unhappy about it.

Any blog, review or other posts or comments you make about us, our products and services on any of our blog, review or user community services will be shared with all other members of that service and the public at large.

You should ensure that any comments you make on these services, and on social media in general, are fit to be read by the public, and in particular are not offensive or defamatory. You are responsible for ensuring that any comments you make comply with any relevant policy on acceptable use of those services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Some personal data may be collected by us or our partners through cookies, pixel tags, or software development kits (“SDKs”), and other similar technologies for a variety of purposes. E.g., for analyzing trends, administering our website and your communications with us, tracking users’ movement and behavior on our website, gathering information about our user base (such as location information on IP addresses, displaying advertising on our websites, and to manage our advertising on other sites). Cookies, used by most websites, are text files stored on a user’s browser containing information about the user (e.g., information about devices and networks used to access our website). Pixel tags (also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs”) are very small images or small pieces of data embedded in images that can recognize cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, whether an email was viewed, and similar information from your computer or device. SDKs are computer code that mobile app developers can include in their apps to enable data to be collected and related functionalities to be implemented. To learn more about the cookies that may be served on our website and services, and how you can control our use of cookies and third-party analytics, please read and review our Cookie Policy.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to protect your information from accidental loss and unauthorized access and disclosure. You should be aware, however, that Zubie has no control over the security of other websites or applications that you might visit or use even when a link to those websites or applications is available in or through the Service. If you share your computer or wireless device or use a computer or wireless device that is accessed by the general public, remember to sign off and close the app and/or web browser when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your information.

We want you to feel confident using the Service. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your information or other communications always will remain secure. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personal information, we will notify you if reasonably possible and as reasonably necessary so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may notify you under such circumstances using the e-mail address we have on record for you. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your personal information. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s Web site for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.

Users from Outside the United States

The Service is hosted in the United States and is governed by United States law. If you are using the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Retention

In accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will only retain your information for as long as we need it to achieve the purpose(s) for which we obtained it in the first place, as required by law, and for the exercise or defense of legal claims. We will then either securely delete it or anonymize it so that it cannot be linked back to you

Managing your Information

It is very important to us that all the information we hold about you remains accurate and up to date to reduce the risk of a misunderstanding. We need your help in doing so. If you have an online account with us, please ensure that the information (for example, contact information) you provide to us through that account remains accurate and up to date. Please review and update it regularly.

You have several rights in relation to your personal data under applicable privacy and data protection law, which may be subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Depending on your country of residence or domicile, you may have other legal rights over the information we collect from you and your devices. We will honor all such legal rights.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond to any valid requests within the time periods required by applicable privacy and data protection law.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. While the United States Federal Trade Commission has endorsed DNT, our Website does not support DNT codes.

Scope of Notice

This notice applies to personal information we collect about California residents both online and offline. It applies to California residents who are users of our site; our customers; individuals inquiring about our products; and all other California residents from whom we collect personal information.

As defined in the CCPA, personal information includes any information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to a California resident or household. It includes, but is not limited to: identifiers, characteristics of protected classes, commercial information, biometrics, internet or electronic information, geolocation data, audio/visual or similar information, employment and educational information, and inferences drawn from any identifiable information. Personal information does not include publicly available information from a public government record.

This notice does not apply to information that is exempt from CCPA disclosure requirements. This includes personal information of individuals acting in their capacity as representatives of our customers, prospective customers, vendors, and other businesses that we conduct business with to the extent the information is collective with respect to a business-to-business transaction or business relationship. This disclosure also does not apply to individuals who are not California residents, any personal information exempted under Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.145, or any other personal information not contemplated in the CCPA.

California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) grants State of California residents the following rights, to:

Know what personal information is being collected about them;
Know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom;
Say no to the sale of their personal information;
Access their personal information;
Have their personal information deleted (subject to certain exceptions); and
Have the right to equal service and price, even if they exercise their privacy rights under this law.

The CCPA also provides that if a company has a privacy notice that allows you to opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

If you are a California resident and wish to request information about how to exercise your third-party disclosure choices you must send a request by email or postal mail to the address below.
