Like many websites on the Internet, our website uses cookies. Cookies are small strings of data placed on users' personal computer hard drives during the exchange of data that happens when your browser points to our website. Cookies enable a website to identify a user's browser as a previous visitor by means of a unique string of numbers assigned on a previous visit. Our cookies assist us in collecting information on what pages of our website you access or visit, and in recording any preferences you indicate on our website. We also use cookies to make your experience on Zifty.com more personalized, and convenient.
Our cookies cannot and do not retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses. If you are just browsing our website, a cookie identifies only your browser (and not your identity). If you place orders with us, we use cookies to assist in storing your preferences and recording other session information (a "session" is a single visit by you to our website).
We use the personal information about you stored in our member database in various ways. First, the next time you use our service and enter your Email Address and Password, we will call up your information out of our database to make processing your order faster and easier.
We also keep track of your movie preferences and other choices and analyze that information. We do so in order to be able to email to you special advertisements, offers and notices regarding movies and other items that seem to fit with your preferences.
We do not sell your personal information, or any information which can be identified to you personally, to any third-party marketers or other third parties. We do aggregate information about how our service is used (without specific identification to any particular user or member) to be able to improve our service and make it more responsive to members' preferences. We also make such aggregate information (without identification to any specific individual) available to our restaurant affiliates and other affiliates in order to obtain information about products, services, offers and notices which we believe will be useful and informative to our website users and Zifty.com members.
We search for merchants who sponsor promotions and offer prizes (Contests) which we believe are of interest to our members. When we find such merchants, we provide the means on our website for our Zifty.com members to register for the Contests. When you register, your name and email address are provided to the merchant sponsoring the contest.
You can also limit our communications directly to you. If you do not want to receive emails from us in the future, please let us know. You can change your preferences, or opt out of receiving emails, at any time (except when you are in the process of placing an order) by going to the "My Account" page. There, you can update your email, phone numbers, and password, and you can also choose uncheck the appropriate box. Our emails to you will stop within 5 business days.
This is our current privacy and security policy, but we reserve the right to change our website and this policy at any time. You should check this privacy policy periodically. If our policies regarding collection, storage and use of your information change, the information collected under prior policies will continue to be governed by those policies, unless we obtain your consent to use that information in new ways.
Upon your request, we will provide you with access to your unique account-related information and information from contacts that we maintain about you. In your request, please provide us with your current specific contact information so that we can accurately check our records.
