Zabersoft Privacy Statement


(last updated: April 2006)

Zabersoft is committed to protecting your privacy. This Zabersoft Privacy Statement applies to data collection and usage on Zabersoft sites and services.

Zabersoft is a general audience web site, intended for users of all ages. Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Privacy Statement. This Statement contains a section with specific details regarding personal information collected from children.

Collection of your Personal Information

Zabersoft collects information during any registration process, including first and last name and your current, valid, e-mail address.

Your registration information is used to operate the site and to keep track of SLAPfiles you store and send. As we are running a very personalized service, then we must be sure that you are who you claim to be to prevent our service being used for unsolicited email (SPAM) or to distribute offensive material. New users will receive a Zabersoft welcome letter explaining the features provided by the service. Zabersoft may also send periodic member letters, from which you may not unsubscribe without closing your account, to announce important service changes, new features, technical issue updates and information about other products and services.

Zabersoft is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." Zabersoft will not sell, lease or rent its member lists to any third parties. While Zabersoft continues to actively review and implement new technology there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online and report any unsolicited SLAPfiles to us will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.

Zabersoft has a strict policy prohibiting the use of a Zabersoft account to send spam or offensive material.

Zabersoft ANTI-SPAM Policy

Zabersoft prohibits the use of Zabersoft Services in any manner associated with the transmission, distribution or delivery of any unsolicited bulk or unsolicited commercial e-mail ("Spam"). You may not use any Zabersoft services to send Spam or offensive or illegal material. You also may not deliver Spam or cause Spam to be delivered to any of Zabersoft's Services or Zabersoft customers.

In addition, SLAPfiles sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the Zabersoft Services may not:

Zabersoft does not authorize the harvesting, mining or collection of e-mail addresses or other information from or through the Zabersoft Services. Zabersoft does not permit or authorize others to use the Zabersoft Services to collect, compile or obtain any information about its customers or subscribers, including but not limited to subscriber e-mail addresses, which are Zabersoft's confidential and proprietary information.

Zabersoft does not permit or authorize any attempt to use the Zabersoft Services in a manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair any aspect of any of the Zabersoft Services, or that could interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any Zabersoft Service.

If Zabersoft believes that unauthorized or improper use is being made of any Zabersoft Service, it may, without notice, take such action as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including blocking messages from a particular internet domain, mail server or IP address. Zabersoft may immediately terminate any account on any Zabersoft Service which it determines, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any e-mail that violates this policy.

Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, the Zabersoft Services. Failure to enforce this policy in every instance does not amount to a waiver of Zabersoft's rights.

Use of your Personal Information

Zabersoft and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to operate Zabersoft and deliver the services you have requested. These services may include the display of customized content and advertising based upon the information Zabersoft has collected. Zabersoft does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Zabersoft also uses your personal information to inform you of other products or services available from Zabersoft and its affiliates. Zabersoft may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Zabersoft does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Zabersoft may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Zabersoft may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Zabersoft or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Zabersoft, including its Zabersoft family of Web sites; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Zabersoft services or members of the public.

Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States, Denmark or any other country in which Zabersoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Zabersoft abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.

Control of your Personal Information

Zabersoft offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information. You may go to the Zabersoft Preferences page to proactively make choices about the use and sharing of your personal information. You may choose not to receive marketing material from Zabersoft or on behalf of external third party business partners. You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Zabersoft by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain how to stop receiving such e-mails.

You may subscribe and unsubscribe to Zabersoft Newsletters. Each Zabersoft newsletter you receive will have instructions on how to unsubscribe prominently mentioned in it.

You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information:

Security of your Personal Information

Zabersoft 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 the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information

Zabersoft is intended for users of all ages. Children may visit these general audience areas of Zabersoft and provide personal information, which will be collected, used and disclosed as described is this Privacy Statement. No Zabersoft sites require users to provide age information.

Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use such general audience communication services as Zabersoft, your child will be able to communicate with other users of all ages. Before providing consent, please be aware that such services will give your child the ability to disclose personal information (e.g. name, address, e-mail, phone numbers) on his or her own. We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online.

When an Zabersoft service knows that a user is a child, it will not condition the child's participation in an activity, such as a game or a prize drawing, on the provision of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. Additionally, you have the right, subject to verification that you are the child's parent, to change or revoke the consent choices you have previously made for Zabersoft services and to review or request the deletion of your child's personal information. You may send such requests, or any questions you have about Zabersoft's practices with regard to personal information about your child, by clicking sending an e-mail or by sending postal mail to the address in the "Contact Information" section of this Statement.

Use of Cookies

Zabersoft may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize Zabersoft's pages, or register with Zabersoft sites or services, a cookie helps Zabersoft to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, preferred email address, and so on. When you return to Zabersoft, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Zabersoft features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Zabersoft services or Web sites you visit.

Use of Web Beacons

Zabersoft Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow Zabersoft to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Zabersoft may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or Zabersoft Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon.

Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. Zabersoft Web pages may also contain Web beacons placed there by third parties in order to compile aggregated statistics and to help determine the effectiveness of our joint promotional or advertising campaigns. Zabersoft prohibits web beacons from being used to access your personal information.

Use of Third Party Ad Networks

The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on Zabersoft Web pages are displayed by Zabersoft.

In addition, Zabersoft allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on Zabersoft Web pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. Zabersoft does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.

Zabersoft maintains relationships with a number of the third-party ad networks currently operating such as: Ad4Ever; AdCentric Online; Ad Dynamix; AdSolution; Avenue A; BlueStreak; BridgeTrack; DoubleClick; efluxa; Enliven; Flycast; i33; Mediaplex; PlanetActive; Pointroll; Profero; Qksrv; RealMedia; RedAgency; TangoZebra; TargetGraph; TrackStar; Travelworm; Unicast. Those ad networks that use persistent cookies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting. You may find more information at the Web site of either the individual ad network or the Network Advertising Initiative.

Enforcement of this Privacy Statement

If you have questions regarding this statement, you should first contact Zabersoft via e-mail.

Changes to this Statement

Zabersoft will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. When Zabersoft posts changes to this Statement, you will see the word "updated" next to the Privacy Statement link on the front page of Zabersoft services. If there are material changes to this Statement or in how Zabersoft will use your personal information, Zabersoft will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. Zabersoft encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Zabersoft is protecting your information.
