How our Services Allow Users to Share Information:

You should be aware that this Policy covers only the information you submit through our Services. If you contact or exchange information with another user in person or through a means other than our Services, such activity is not covered by this Policy.

Service Emails and other Communications:

Our Services allow users to communicate with others through our in-product messaging services. Communications that are sent by or on behalf of a user are indicated as being “From” that user. Communications that are sent by us are indicated as being from us or one of our account or support specialists assigned to assist you. Either type of communications may be “real time” communications or communications triggered automatically upon the occurrence of certain events or dates.

Email communications received from users and our administrative announcements are often transactional or relationship messages, such as workout reminders and message notifications, or other service notifications. If you are using these Services, you may not be able to opt out of receiving certain messages, although our Services may provide a means to modify the frequency of receiving them. In cases in which we believe user emails are not primarily transactional or relationship messages, it will include the capability to opt-out of receiving further e-mails.

Cookies and Tracking Analytics

We use cookies, local shared objects, log files, clear GIFs, embedded scripts, and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies enable a faster log-in process, and some allow us to track your activities on our Services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to disable cookies or change your cookies settings.

Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) in connection with our Services to, e.g., track the activities of visitors to our Site, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Sites. We may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Local Storage Objects. We may use Local Storage Objects (“LSOs”), including Flash LSOs, to store your preferences and to personalize your visit. LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions.

Do Not Track Disclosure. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies).

Third-Party Analytics. We also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics and Hotjar, to evaluate usage of Services. We use these tools to gather information about users to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. We may disclose information, including personal information, to certain third-party services in order to obtain such services. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information that they collect about you on our Services with other information that they have collected on our Services. This Policy does not cover such third parties’ use of the data. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, you can download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To learn more about Hotjar’s privacy practices, see the please see the ‘about Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site.

Interest-Based Advertising

We use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Services, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party websites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. You may opt out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).

Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Services or other services. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextual advertising). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit an opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt out may no longer be effective.

Third-Party Collection

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites and applications or integrate with services provided by third parties. Any access to and use of such linked websites, applications, or third-party services is not governed by this Policy but instead is governed by the privacy statements of those third parties. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third parties, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Testimonials, Comments, and Reviews

We may post Z Marketing member testimonials, comments, reviews, and other user-generated content on our Services that may contain personal information.

Data Security

The security of personal information is important and Z Marketing has implemented safeguards to protect the personal information it collects. To prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we deploy a wide range of technical, physical and administrative safeguards, including: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, firewalls, system alerts and other information system security technologies; and regular evaluation and enhancement of our information technology systems, facilities, and information collection, storage and processing practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of digital storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Further, you should take steps to protect your device and/or account by, for example, logging off when you have finished with a session and choosing a robust password that no one else knows or could easily guess.

Your Choices

Please note that we may retain certain information about you as required by law or as permitted by law for legitimate business purposes (e.g., in accordance with our record retention policies or to enforce our Terms of Service or any agreements relating to the Services you may enter with Z Marketing).

Opting out of Email Communications. We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email or emailing us at legal@zstream.io.

Accessing Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you;

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions, reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
3. Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.);
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
7. Complete solely internal tasks that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
8. Comply with a legal obligation; and/or
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion right described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Sending your request to support@zstream.io
• Sending your request through our web form at zstream.io/contact

Please provide us with the following information to assist with verifying your request:

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information that relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Receiving a Response and Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 days and provide you with information about how we will process your request, including our verification process. We will contact you if we need further information from you to verify your request. We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the request and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period that precedes the verifiable consumer’s request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with the request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide you your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. At times, we may offer you a different financial incentive, price difference, or service difference, as permitted by the CCPA, in exchange for retention or the sale of your personal information. If we offer you a financial incentive, we will do the following in advance:

• Notify you of the categories of personal information implicated by the financial incentive, price difference or service difference;
• Obtain your informed consent;
• Base the financial incentive, price difference, or service difference on a good faith estimate of the value of your personal information; and
