Some specific examples of how we use the information:
ZARBECO, LLC may use the data we collect to contact you about relevant products and services based upon legitimate interest. “Legitimate interests” means the interests of ZARBECO, LLC in conducting and managing our organization, and in serving our industry. For example, we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data to analyze how our websites, products and services are being used by you, and to ensure network and information security, as described in this Privacy Policy. When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you, and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, unless we have your consent or those activities are otherwise required or permitted to by law
ZARBECO, LLC will retain your information as long as your account with us is active, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to provide you with product updates, and to enforce our agreements. If you wish to cancel your account, stop receiving services, or inactivate or remove personal information about you from our database, please contact us here.
ZARBECO, LLC is continuously improving its websites and products through the use of various third-party website analytic tools. They help us understand how visitors use our websites, desktop tools, and mobile applications, what they like and dislike, and where they may encounter issues. While we maintain ownership of this data, we do not share this type of data about individual users with third parties.
Geolocation and Other Data:
We or our third party partners may utilize precise Geolocation data, but only if you specifically opt-in to the collection of that data in connection with a particular service. We also use information such as IP addresses to determine the general geographic location areas of our visitors. The web beacons used in conjunction with these web analytics tools may gather data such as which browser or operating system a person uses, domain names, MIME types, and what content, products and services are reviewed or downloaded when visiting or registering for services at our website or using one of our mobile applications.
Google Analytics:
We use Google Analytics as described in “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You may prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics on websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. We also employ IP address masking, a technique used to truncate IP addresses collected by Google Analytics and store them in an abbreviated form to prevent them from being traced back to individual users. Portions of our website may also use Google Analytics for display advertisers including DoubleClick or Dynamic Remarketing, which provide interest-based ads based on your visit to this or other websites. You may use Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt-out of interest-based ads.
Tracking Technologies:
ZARBECO, LLC and its third party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track user traffic patterns and hold certain registration information. Tracking technologies such as beacons, tags and scripts, are also used to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our service. The Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. You may still review the website if you choose to set your browser to refuse all cookies; however, you must enable cookies to establish an account and to install the services. At this time, ZARBECO, LLC does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking, including "do-not-track" signals.
