Privacy Policy

The ZaWire Network

We want you to protect your Personal Data. We define Personal Data as any data from which it is practical to directly determine your identity or the identity of any individual.

We have established this Privacy Policy to explain how Personal Data is collected on the ZaWire Operating System, and how this Personal Data is used by ZaWire. Any capitalized term not defined in this Privacy Policy has the meaning which we lay out in the ZaWire User Agreement. From time to time, we will update this Privacy Policy and will do our best to keep you abreast of these changes by posting a notice on the ZaWire Operating System.

We take protecting your Personal Data very seriously. All Networks running on the ZaWire Operating System are required to meet the terms of our Privacy Policy. That being said, we would like to ask you to be careful and use caution when providing Personal Data to Social Networks built on the ZaWire Operating System. Unfortunately, there is no way we can be responsible for the actions of other Users or Social Networks not developed by ZaWire.
By registering on the ZaWire Operating System, you agree (1) to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, and (2) that ZaWire and any User may process (i.e., collect, use, etc.) your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service. Personal Data may be processed by ZaWire or User(s) in the country where it was collected as well as other countries (including the United States) where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent.

ZaWire and Collection of User Information
Personally Identifiable User Information
Once you register with ZaWire and sign in to the ZaWire Operating System, you are not anonymous to ZaWire.
When registering on ZaWire, you provide Personal Data, which includes a ZaWire ID, a User- chosen password, and optionally an email address and a photo. To combat online fraud, ZaWire may also record your IP address when submitting information. In addition, if you choose to purchase the Business and Professional Development Website on ZaWire, you provide necessary information to process your credit card payment, including your billing address. When you use the ZaWire Address Book service, you also provide contact information of other people (“Address Book”).
In an effort to support group-specific as well as location-based Social Networks, Networks can validate the domain from which your email address originates (e.g., gmail.com or hotmail.com).
To protect your ZaWire ID account information, please keep your password secure.
You can decline to share such Personal Data with us by not registering on ZaWire. Further, you may opt to remove any Personal Data from our active database by contacting ZaWire and canceling your ZaWire User account.
ZaWire does not intentionally gather Personal Data about visitors who are under the age of 13.

Cookies and Passive Data Collection
ZaWire automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, ZaWire cookie information, and the page you request.
Users should be aware that other websites visited before entering ZaWire might place personally identifiable information within a User's URL during a visit to their website, and ZaWire has no control over such websites. Accordingly, some of this information may be logged by a subsequent website that collects URL information.

Content and Use of Networks
When you post Content (or send messages) in any Social Network(s) on the ZaWire Operating System that enable direct sharing of information with other Users and visitors, other Users and visitors will have access to any Personal Data in such Content. The ZaWire Operating System keeps track of Content that you have uploaded to a Social Network on ZaWire as well as the top Users for a Network. Such information, displayed with your ZaWire ID and photo, if you uploaded one, is available to Users and visitors of the ZaWire Operating System. In addition, the ZaWire Operating System enables other Users to invite you to use Social Networks on ZaWire.
Because you may voluntarily disclose any Personal Data in these public areas, you should be careful about the information you choose to disclose. ZaWire does not control that disclosure, and is not liable in any way for anyone's use or misuse of the information in the disclosure. In other words, use caution and judgment here.

How ZaWire Uses Information
Personally Identifiable Information
We will send you administrative messages, and email updates regarding your account, your Social Networks, or the ZaWire Operating System. We may also send you notices of new Content that has been added to Networks in which you may be interested when you have subscribed to such notices. In some cases, we may also send you primarily promotional messages. In your account, you can choose to opt out of promotional messages and new Content notices. You may opt out of receiving administrative messages by canceling your ZaWire User account. We will not use your Address Book information for our own purposes.

Cookies and Passive Data Collection
ZaWire uses cookie, IP address, and URL information to improve the content of the ZaWire Website, the quality of ZaWire servers, and to provide enhanced features to Users, where available. ZaWire uses cookies to save Users' ZaWire IDs, session validators, and on Users' browsers and hard drives, and may use them to provide tailored products and services to those Users, as they become available.
IP Addresses also help us to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the ZaWire Operating System, and to otherwise provide the ZaWire service to its users. IP addresses may be disclosed to a third party if we believe in good faith that the law or legal process requires it, or to protect the rights or property of ZaWire, its Users or the general public.

Disclosures
ZaWire Service Providers
ZaWire may need to provide your Personal Data to third parties to deliver specific services to you (such as hosting services, support services, or credit card payment processing). These third parties are required not to disclose your Personal Data and not to use your Personal Data other than to provide the services requested by ZaWire.

Network Manager
The ZaWire User Agreement requires each Network Manager to comply with applicable laws (e.g., CAN-SPAM) and ZaWire's rules with respect to the Network Managers' use of your Personal Data. As a Network Manager, you may have your own privacy policy applicable to your Network if approved by ZaWire in advance and in writing (on a case-by-case basis). If you, as a User of a Network, agree to a Network's privacy policy, you agree that any dispute you have with a Network Manager is between you and that Network Manager (and not ZaWire).

Law Enforcement
ZaWire may disclose Personal Data if required by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order, where required by law, or, at our sole discretion, where we deem necessary to protect the safety of any individual or the general public or to prevent violation of our User Agreement or the rights of ZaWire or any third party.

ZaWire Affiliates
Although ZaWire currently does not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, “affiliates”), it may in the future. ZaWire may share some of all of your Personal Data with these affiliates, in which case we will seek to require our affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.

Change of Ownership
In the event of a change in ownership, or a merger with, acquisition by, or sale of assets to, another entity, we reserve the right to transfer all of ZaWire's User information, including email addresses, to a separate entity. ZaWire will notify Users (via a posting on this site or email (in ZaWire's discretion) of such a transfer, and Users may choose to modify their registration information at that time. This means if you are concerned about your Personal Data migrating to a new owner, you can deactivate your account.

Security
ZaWire uses industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Although we make good faith efforts to store the information collected by ZaWire and Social Networks running on the ZaWire Operating System in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, ZaWire cannot guarantee complete security. Further, while we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information. ZaWire does not assume any liability to third parties whose information may be included in your Address Book.

Updating or Removing User Information
Users may, at any time, choose to correct or update the information they have submitted to ZaWire, by going to their account. Users may remove their User information from ZaWire's live database by canceling their account. Even if you update or remove your information from our live database, however, your Personal Data may be retained in our backup files and archives.
Registered Users may remove their User information from ZaWire by canceling their account.

No Spam Policy
Our No Spam Policy and User Agreemen prohibit all Users from engaging in any activity involving the sending of email in violation of applicable law. Violations of these policies may result in immediate termination of service and legal action against any spammers.
ZaWire offers email masking and relay when Users choose to communicate with other Users on Networks running on the ZaWire Operating System to reduce third party email harvesting and spam. We also encourage Users to choose an email address where they will be comfortable receiving email responses from other ZaWire Users if they choose, at their sole discretion, to upload a profile or classifieds listings on any Social Network running on the ZaWire Operating System.

International Users
By visiting ZaWire and Social Networks running on the ZaWire Operating System and providing ZaWire with data, you acknowledge and agree that due to the international dimension of ZaWire we may use the data collected in the course of our relationship for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy or in our other communications with you, including the transmission of information outside your resident jurisdiction. In addition, please understand that such data may be stored on servers located in the United States where laws protecting Personal Data may not be as stringent as the laws in your jurisdiction. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.

Revisions to This Policy
ZaWire reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this policy and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner. Notice of any revision, amendment, or modification will be posted on ZaWire, and a User's continued use of ZaWire will signify agreement to such changes.
