Marketing Communications: Consistent with your choices and in compliance with applicable law, we may send you marketing and promotional emails. You may opt out of continuing to receive these emails through your account settings or by using the opt out link at the bottom of our marketing emails. It may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request. You will still receive transactional communications from us, such as confirmation of your purchase with us. We process requests to be unsubscribed from future marketing communications, as required by applicable law.
“Do Not Track” Signals: “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) is a setting that users can enable in certain web browsers. DNT signals do not have a commonly agreed up meaning and we do not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals.

Analytics: We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as tracking pixels, to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
Online Advertising: The Services may allow third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Bing Ads and others) to place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you to assist in the delivery of relevant advertising about the Services on other websites you visit and other services you use.
We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on the device you use to access the Services by such non- affiliated third parties. For more information about tailored advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that these opt-outs apply per device, so you will have to opt-out for each device through which you access our Services. For more information on how to manage mobile device settings related to tailored advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s mobile choice page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice.
Modifying your mobile device or browser settings may have different results depending on the type of device or browser you are using and the version of the device operating system you are running. Opting out of tailored advertising does not prevent you from seeing advertising online; instead, the ads you see are less likely to be customized to your interests.
Any third-party practices are not governed by this Privacy Policy.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may have the right to request that we:
- Confirm that we are processing your personal information and provide you access to, or a copy of, that personal information.
- Provide you with your personal information in a portable and, if technically feasible, readily usable format.
- Delete certain personal information that we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate personal information that we hold about you.
- Opt out of our “sale” of your personal information and the use of your information for purposes of targeted advertising or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (as discussed in more detail below).
You may also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising the above rights. In addition, if you have provided consent for us to use your personal information for a specific purpose, you may also request to withdraw that consent.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you also have the right to object to and/or request that we restrict certain processing of your personal information, and the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes applicable data protection laws. However, we encourage you to contact us directly and allow us to work with you to address your concerns.
Exercising Your Rights. To request to exercise any of these rights, please email us at [email protected]. You may also designate an authorized agent to make such a request on your behalf. The request must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are making a request about information pertaining to you, or in the case of requests submitted by an authorized agent, that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf. If we are unable to verify your or your authorized agent’s identity from the request itself, we may ask for additional information from you in order to verify you or your authorized agent.
There are certain exceptions to the above rights. For example, we may deny a deletion request if it is reasonably necessary for us or our vendors to retain your personal information to provide a service that you have requested, comply with law, or detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity or prosecute those responsible for such activity.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. If we deny your request, we will provide you with information on how to appeal the decision, if applicable, in our communications with you.
Right to Opt Out of “Sales” and Use of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising and Profiling. In connection with our advertising and analytics activities, we provide certain personal information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes, so that we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our Services, or use related advertising analytics services. Under applicable law, the disclosure of your information to these third parties may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the use of personal information for targeted advertising purposes
If you would like to opt out of our online disclosure such as through cookies and similar technologies of your personal information for purposes that could be considered “sales” for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or use of personal information for purposes of targeted advertising, please click here. You can also submit a sale opt-out request to opt out of our offline disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights by emailing us at [email protected]..
Please note that if you have a legally recognized browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law. Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them.
As noted above, depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, if applicable. We do not engage in such profiling.
DATA RETENTION
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active, as long as necessary to provide you with our Services, as long as necessary for our legitimate business interests, and/or as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
In accordance with routine record keeping practices, and subject to any requirements of applicable law, we may delete records that contain your information. We are under no obligation to store your information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, deletion of your information.
PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION
ZO maintains appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your information. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that ZO processes. However, we cannot guarantee the security of such information because no security measures are perfect. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any of our privacy settings or security measures.
You can also take steps to safeguard your information. If you create an account on our Site, you will be required to select a password which should be kept confidential and be of appropriate complexity.

We are not responsible for and make no representations about such websites or their content, services, or practices. This Privacy Policy does not govern any third-party websites. Thus, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you choose to visit to understand how those websites collect, use, and disclose your information.
