to demonstrate our firm commitment to the protection of your
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices.
Registration
Our site's
registration form requires you to give us contact information (like

contact information from the registration form to:

ZapSurvey account.
2.

Our

your username and password if you use the "Forgot my Username or
Password" function. We will not give username or password
information over the telephone to anyone.
When we
collect your personal information, that information is for
ZapSurvey's use alone,
unless it is specifically stated otherwise. As a general rule, we
will not disclose personal information except when we have express
permission or under special circumstances, such as when the law
requires it, for example, if you violate our Terms of Service or our
rights and property. Any information shared with third parties will
be shared as aggregate statistics. Except as disclosed in this
paragraph, third parties will neither be granted your personal
information nor will your information ever be sold.
Tracking
Information
As part of
offering personalized services and customizing your experience at
ZapSurvey, we use
cookies to store and track information about you throughout the
session at our web site. A cookie is a small amount of data that is
sent to your computer from a web server and stored on your hard
drive.
Generally,
we use three different cookies to serve you better and to save time.
·
You are
given a cookie that will recognize you as a repeat registered
customer and will store your username for login. This cookie
maintains your identity to make it easier to log in and access your
surveys. It stores information such as your personal settings. In
addition, it tracks the date, time, and referring web page of your
first visit to the web site.
·
There is
also a session cookie with a "time-out" function which disappears
once you logout of the website. The cookie also "expires" for
security purposes after a certain amount of time so that your
program will not continually run without user activity.
·
The last
cookie is a temporary cookie that simply determines whether or not
your browser will accept cookies. Acceptance of cookies is
obligatory in order to access an account.
The data
collected on traffic patterns and your behavior is aggregate
information. We have no other specific personal information about
you besides the information you have explicitly provided.
We collect
IP addresses for system administration and to report the aggregate
information for our personal use. Your IP address is also used to
help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our web
site.

Your

information from unauthorized access; however, we are not
responsible if a third party accesses your information by breaching
our security measures.
