We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information or a list of our customers to third parties. However, as described in more detail in Part C below, there are limited circumstances in which some of your information will be shared with third parties, under strict restrictions, so it is important for you to review this Privacy Policy.

B. Information We Collect

Website Traffic Information

Because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the Zoom Vantage website, we automatically receive the Web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our website you visit while you are on the Zoom Vantage website, the type of browser you use and the times you access our website. We use this information to try to understand our customers’ preferences better and to manage the load on our servers, so as to improve our service and your experience with Zoom Vantage.

Use Of “Cookies”

“Cookies” are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognize you as a Zoom Vantage website user if you return to the Zoom Vantage website using the same computer and browser. We may send a “session cookie” to your computer if and when you log in to your Zoom Vantage account (if applicable) by entering your e-mail address and password. These cookies allow us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you don’t need to re-enter your password multiple times.

We may also use longer-lasting cookies to display your e-mail address on our sign-in form, so that you don’t have to retype the e-mail address each time when you log in to your Zoom Vantage account (if applicable). Our cookie files are encoded so that your e-mail address and other information can only be interpreted by Zoom Vantage.

Customer Service Correspondence

If you send us correspondence, including e-mails and faxes, we retain such information in our records. We will also retain customer service correspondence and other correspondence from Zoom Vantage to you. We retain these records in order to measure and improve our customer service and to investigate potential fraud and violations of our User Agreement. We may over time, delete these records if permitted by law. If you submit your e-mail address to Zoom Vantage as part your interaction with the Zoom Vantage website, including but not limited to use of any of the forms on the site or through our “Contact” service or as part of a registration process (if applicable) on the website, your e-mail address will be retained by Zoom Vantage for the purpose of communicating with you.

Questionnaires, Surveys And Profile Data

From time to time, we offer optional questionnaires and surveys to our users for such purposes as collecting demographic information or assessing users’ interests and needs. If we collect personally identifiable information from our users in these questionnaires and surveys, the users will be given notice of how the information will be used prior to their participation in the survey or questionnaire.

C. Our Use And Disclosure Of Information

Internal Use

We collect, store and process your personal information on servers located in Canada.
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information to:
– provide the services and customer support you request;
– resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
– prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement;
– customize, measure, and improve our services and the content and layout of our website; and

– tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences.

We also use IP addresses, browser types and access times to analyze trends, administer the site, improve site performance and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Disclosure To Third Parties Other Than Zoom Vantage Customers

Zoom Vantage will not sell or rent any of your personally identifiable information to third parties. However, we disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action. As Zoom Vantage may outsource some of its functions, including data storage and processing, to related entities or service providers in foreign jurisdictions those related entities or service providers may be required to disclose your personal information pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process which originates in that foreign jurisdiction. We also disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).

As with any other business, it is possible that Zoom Vantage in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Zoom Vantage, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended as described in Section A above. We also share your information with our parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries and joint ventures to help coordinate the services we provide to you, enforce our terms and conditions, and promote trust and safety.

Contact With Zoom Vantage Website Users

We communicate with users on a regular basis via e-mail to provide requested services, to resolve customer complaints, to investigate suspicious transactions and to provide informational or promotional information about Zoom Vantage.

D. Information Security

Zoom Vantage is committed to handling your customer information with high standards of information security. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only to employees who need to know that information in order to fulfill their job responsibilities.

If you register for an account through the Zoom Vantage website (if applicable), the security of your Zoom Vantage account will rely on your protection of your Zoom Vantage password. You may not share your Zoom Vantage password with anyone. If you do share your Zoom Vantage password with a third party for any reason, including because the third party has promised to provide you additional services such as account aggregation, the third party will have access to your account and your personal information, and you may be responsible for actions taken using your password.
