Privacy Policy

Information Collection

• Download of the Zoundry software does not require any personal information.
• The Zoundry service requires you to register for an account. Zoundry asks you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address, web site/blog URL, and a password for your account) and we will use that information to provide the service and maintain records for you. In certain situations, we may ask for direct deposit routing information or tax identification, such as social security number, which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. When you register for an account with Zoundry, we will act as your master affiliate and record and receive commissions on your behalf, as well as manage activity reports for your links.
• Zoundry collects limited non-personally identifying information when you search for products using the Zoundry Product Placement Engine™ either through our software or service. This information includes your search terms and selected product(s). Zoundry may also monitor whether users click through your Zoundry affiliate links. We use this information to operate and improve our services. For example, we can improve the relevancy of our search results and inform you of the most popular products.
• Occasionally we will ask for personal information, such as email address, when you want to invite a person to join the Zoundry Service or refer a product to a friend. In these cases, we will use their email addresses only to send them information you requested (invitation or product URL and information) with any message you provide. We will not use their email addresses for any other purpose.
• Spam: Zoundry will terminate the account of any person that it believes, in its sole discretion, is using its service to send any spam or other unsolicited bulk email or to harass or otherwise send unwanted communications. In such cases, Zoundry shall have the right to an injunction and to seek monetary damages.

When this occurs, it is subject to agreements that require those parties to process such information only upon our instructions and subject to this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and (c) We decide that we are required by law or have a reasonable belief that preservation or disclosure of such information is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Zoundry, its users, or the public.

• If you have installed and are using our software, we may use the information submitted under your account in our software in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our service.
• In the event of a transfer of ownership of Zoundry LLC, such as through an acquisition or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
