We want you to enjoy every visit to our products or services, as well as every experience with ShelterZoom Services, and you should be aware that the ShelterZoom Services may make sensitive permissions requests on your computer, tablet or mobile device, and handle personal or sensitive user data (including personally identifiable information (PII), financial and payment information, authentication information, phonebook or contact data, microphone and camera sensor data, and sensitive device data), and collect information about you and we may share that information with third parties in certain circumstances. Please read the following provisions carefully to understand how ShelterZoom collects, uses and discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from its users.

ShelterZoom controls and operates its business and the ShelterZoom Services from within the United States of America, but to provide you with the Services, we may store, process and transmit information in the United States and locations around the world - including those outside your country. Information may also be stored locally on the devices you use to access the Services.

Our online privacy practices are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of New York, which may differ from privacy laws in your state or home country.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites and apps that you may use, including any linked to in our Services. You should review the terms and policies for third-party websites and apps before clicking on any links.

By submitting your personal information to us or our agents or affiliates, through use of the ShelterZoom Services, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to any country and its use and disclosure in accordance with applicable US Federal and State laws and with this Privacy Policy.

1. What Kind of Information We Collect

Whether accessing the ShelterZoom Services from your home computer or while on the run from your smart phone or tablet, ShelterZoom and its agents may collect some information that identifies you or relates to you as an individual (“Personal Information”), such as your:

  • name;
  • mailing address and/or zip code;
  • telephone or mobile number;
  • e-mail address;
  • username and password (for account administration);
  • device ID, including IP address;
  • geolocation;
  • financial account information and other personal financial and payment information (that you submit to us for transaction processing);
  • additional personal information necessary for the administration of certain promotional events (such as your preferences); and
  • certain identifying information such as your date of birth and contact information.

In addition, we may collect other types of data elements (“Other Information”) that do not reveal your identity or that do not relate directly to you or any other individual, such as:

  • browser and device information, including operating system;
  • demographic information and other information provided by you that we may combine with other users of the ShelterZoom Services or use on its own;
  • mobile application usage data;
  • aggregated information such as “click stream” information such as entry and exit points for the ShelterZoom Services (including referring URLs or domains), certain ShelterZoom Services traffic statistics, page views, and impressions; and
  • information collected through cookies and other technologies described in more detail later in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, when users request pages on the ShelterZoom Services, our servers automatically log the IP address of the particular user. The IP address is a unique number assigned to your computer in order to identify it whenever you are surfing the Web.

2. How We Use the Personal Information We Collect

We may use Personal Information about you for purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you through the ShelterZoom Services. For example, we may use Personal Information to:

  • process and manage your purchase and use of our services;
  • respond to your inquiries or requests, and to post your comments or statements on message boards or in our online forums;
  • create and deliver personalized promotions, including by combining your personal information with Other Information, such as the number of times you log in, and the amounts and types of purchases you make;
  • communicate with you by mail, telephone, e-mail, mobile alerts and SMS text messaging about ShelterZoom products or services, including but not limited to information about your activity or purchases, your services, accounts, contests you may enter into, your requests for information, and to update you about changes to the ShelterZoom Services;
  • communicate with you, including by mail, telephone, e-mail, mobile alerts and SMS text messaging, in connection with our marketing efforts, such as when we send you offers and promotions that you can take advantage of through the ShelterZoom Services;
  • allow you to send or receive communications to or from others through the ShelterZoom Services;

  • send “transactional or relationship” communications to you, such as notices to facilitate a transaction you have conducted or messages that provide information about your account, using various electronic communication, including email and mobile communications;
  • comply with legal obligations; and
  • meet legal retention periods.

Other Uses. We may combine the personal information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of personal information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device to help with goals like research and marketing. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our use of such aggregated or de-identified information.

Lawful Basis for Processing Your Personal Information. If European data protection law applies and ShelterZoom acts as a controller, our lawful basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect or use it.

We normally collect or use personal information from you or others only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect or retain personal information or may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, when we:

  • Use personal information to create and manage an account, we need it in order to provide relevant ShelterZoom Services.
  • Gather and record data associated with use of a digital certificate or digital signature, it is to comply with regulations.
  • Use names and email addresses for email marketing purposes, we do so with your consent (which you can withdraw at any time).
  • Gather usage data and analyze it to improve our Services, we do so based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding and improving our Services.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section 13 of this Privacy Policy.

7. How We Provide Security and Protect Your Personal Information

ShelterZoom has implemented reasonable safeguards designed to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of Personal Information provided or collected through our ShelterZoom Services.

With respect to payment card information and other Personal Information collected through our ShelterZoom Services, we use Transport Layer Security Technology or TLS to encrypt or scramble that information during transmission. We also handle all user data securely, including transmitting it using modern cryptography (for example, over HTTPS) and using blockchain technology.

Under the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies must ensure certain safeguards when transferring personal data outside of the European Economic Area to countries that are not considered as offering an adequate level of protection for personal data. ShelterZoom relies upon a variety of legal mechanisms to transfer personal data, including contracts with our vendors and service providers that require that they also adhere to these safeguards, and ShelterZoom remains accountable for your Personal Information in cases of onward transfer to third parties.

Unfortunately, no system or online transmission of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and you should always take appropriate security measures to protect your Personal Information, including ensuring that you have up-to-date antivirus and malware software. If you believe that your ShelterZoom account or any information you provided to us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately through the Contact Us information provided below. Because our system is secure, you should also store your password in a safe place.

When we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that we cannot resolve with our users directly.

Online Marketing and Advertising

The ShelterZoom Services also use Cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons and clear GIF files (collectively, “Data Collection Technologies”) to help manage our online marketing and advertising program. These Data Collection Technologies are provided by our ad management partners and other third parties.

For example, if you give us your zip code and we thus know you live in an area where a particular promotion is going on, we may deliver to you a communication or advertisement that is specific to that promotion.

Please note that certain third parties that we do not control may use Data Collection Technologies on the ShelterZoom Services such as information about your use of the ShelterZoom Services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other legal purpose.
