Your privacy is our top concern. We
work hard to earn and keep your trust, so we adhere to the following principles
to protect your privacy:
Notice of all changes that materially
affect ways in which your personally identifiable data may be used or shared
will be posted in updates to our Privacy Policy. If you continue to use the Zimetrix service after notice of changes have been sent to
you or published on our site, you hereby provide your consent to the changed
practices
Please read this privacy policy to
learn more about:
Information Collection
Registration:
In order to become a Zimetrix user, you must first
create an account on this web site. To create an account you are required to
provide the following contact information: name, email address, country,
ZIP/postal code, a brief summary of your professional background (current
occupation & networking objectives), and choose a password.
Profile Information:
Once a user, you may provide additional information in the Profile section
describing your skills, professional experiences, and networking objectives.
Providing additional information beyond what is required at registration is
entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and find new
opportunities in the Zimetrix system.
Information
about your Contacts
In order to invite others to connect with you directly in Zimetrix,
you will enter their names and email addresses.
This information will be used by Zimetrix to send
your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email
addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation
and reminders.
You may also choose to manually enter
or upload data about your contacts into the private “My Contacts” section of
our website. All information entered there will only be viewable by you and
will not be searchable by others in the Zimetrix
network without your permission.
All information that you enter or
upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy
policy as cover your own personally identifiable information.
Cookies & Log Files:
Like most web sites, Zimetrix uses cookies and web log
files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your
computer which allows Zimetrix to recognize you as a
user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser.
Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be
able to use our website. Like the information you enter at registration or in
your Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on
the web site.
One type of cookie, known as a
“persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your Zimetrix
account. The next time you visit the Zimetrix web
site, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing user
so you will not need to log in before using the service. In order to access or
change any of your private information (like a credit card number), however,
you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer
contains your persistent cookie. Additionally, if you log out of the Zimetrix site you will need to re-enter your password the
next time you visit in order to log in to your account. Another type of cookie,
called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the Zimetrix site. Session cookies expire after a short time or
when you close your web browser.
Due to the communications standards on
the Internet, when you visit the Zimetrix web site we
automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to
which you are going when you leave Zimetrix. We also
receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy
server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system
and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP. This
information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the Zimetrix service. The linkage between your IP address and
your personally identifiable information is never shared with third-parties
without your permission or except when required by law.
Web Beacons:
We allow other companies, called ad networks, to serve advertisements to Zimetrix users. Ad networks include third party ad servers,
ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms. Zimetrix
may “target” some ads to users that fit a certain general profile — for
example, “product managers in
To deliver these ads properly, Zimetrix may include a file, called a web beacon, from
these ad networks within pages served by Zimetrix so
the networks may provide anonymized, aggregated
auditing, research and reporting for advertisers as well as to target ads to
you while you visit other websites.
Because your web browser must request
these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these
companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested
a web page from their site.
These general targets may also be used
by ad networks to display targeted ads on other websites as a substitute for
random, irrelevant ads. You will never see additional ads as a result of being
a Zimetrix user and Zimetrix
never provides personally identifiable information to any advertiser nor any third party.
You may opt-out of use of Web beacons
in Zimetrix pages that you view and of placement of a
cookie by ad networks in your browser. To opt-out click here
and go to the “Advertising” section at the bottom and change the setting there
to “No”.
If you opt-out you will lose the
potential benefit of receiving ads that are more targeted to your interests.
Children:
Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that minors (under the
age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us or use the service.
Information Use
Zimetrix is an online service dedicated to helping all types of professionals more
effectively connect with one another. The personally identifiable information
you choose to provide on this site is used to help you describe yourself to
other users. Other information, that does not personally identify you as an
individual, is collected by Zimetrix Corporation from
the site (such as, by way of example, patterns of utilization) and is
exclusively owned by Zimetrix. This information can
be utilized by Zimetrix in such manner as Zimetrix, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
Zimetrix Communications:
Zimetrix will communicate with you through email and
notices posted on this website. These include a series of up to five welcome
emails which help inform new users about various features of the service.
Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from Zimetrix related to the proper functioning of your account,
such as email notices when another user in your network sends you an
opportunity. Zimetrix may send you promotional
information unless you have opted out of receiving such information. If you
wish to opt-out of receiving promotional emails, please send a request to customer_service@Zimetrix.com.
Customized Content:
Information you provide at registration or in your Profile section is also used
to customize your experience on the web site. For example, when you login to
your account we will display the screen names of new users who have recently
joined your network.
Information Sharing
Sharing Information With
Third Parties:
Zimetrix takes the privacy of our users very seriously.
We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable
information to any third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share
your personally identifiable with third parties to carry out your instructions
and to provide specific services. For instance, we use a credit card processing
company to bill users for subscription fees. These third parties do not retain,
share, or store any personally identifiable information except to provide these
services and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements which limit their
use of such information.
Zimetrix offers a “public profile” feature which allows users to publish portions
of their Zimetrix profile, including your “name”, but
not your “email address” to the public Internet. Users may opt-out of this feature, however Zimetrix does not
warrant how third-party search engines will update their cache.
We may provide aggregated data about
the usage of our services to third-parties for such purposes as we deem, in our
sole discretion, to be appropriate. We may segment our users by role (i.e.
product managers, vice presidents), industry, geographic location, company. If
you would like to be excluded from the aggregated research or products based
upon aggregated data about our users’ activities on the site, please email
customer service.
Partnering with Other
Organizations to Offer Combined Services:
Zimetrix partners with other online services to give
you the combined results of both services. For example we partner with
SimplyHired.com to let you use their services to find jobs and then to use Zimetrix to find trusted referrals to those jobs. Whenever we offer such combined services it will be your choice to
make use of the combined services or not. In these cases, your
personally identifiable information will only be passed from Zimetrix to the partner if you choose to use the combined
service.
Communications Between
Users:
Many emails you initiate through Zimetrix, an
invitation sent to a non-user for instance, will list your email address and
name in the header of the message. Emails you initiate may also provide
aggregate information about your network (for instance how many people are in
your network), but will never list the people to whom you’re directly
connected. Other communications that you initiate through the Zimetrix website, like a request for contact, will list
your name as the initiator but will not include your personal contact
information. Your contact information will only be shared with another user if
both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each
other.
Legal Disclaimer:
It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required
by law. We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief
that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding,
or other legal process served on our company or to exercise our legal rights or
defend against legal claims.
Accessing and Changing Your
Account Information
You can review the personal information
you provided us and make any desired changes to the information, or to the
settings for your Zimetrix account, at any time by
logging in to your account on the Zimetrix website
and editing the information on your Profile page. You can also close your
account through the Zimetrix website. If you close
your Zimetrix account, we will remove your name and
other personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable data. We
may retain certain data contributed by you if it may be necessary to prevent
fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of
aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required
by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the terms of the Zimetrix Privacy Policy that you have previously agree to. To request that we close your account and remove
your information from the Zimetrix service, please
send your request to customer_service@Zimetrix.com. Please send your request
using an email account that you have registered with Zimetrix
under your name. You will receive a response to requests sent to customer_service@Zimetrix.com
within three business days of our receiving it.
Security
In order to secure your personal
information, access to your data on Zimetrix is password-protected,
and sensitive data (such as credit card information) is protected by SSL
encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our web site. To
protect any data you store on our servers we also regularly audit our system
for possible vulnerabilities and attacks and we use a tier-one secured-access
data center.
Changes to this Privacy
Policy
Zimetrix may update this privacy policy. In the event there are significant changes
in the way we treat your personally identifiable information, we will display a
