Privacy Policy

AMENDMENTS TO PRIVACY POLICY

If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Site to notify you of these changes and we will use for these new purposes only data and information collected from the time of the policy change forward. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our Site periodically.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We collect and maintain three types of information from users of our Site:

• Personal Data: We collect certain personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) from users of our Site, including name, physical address, e-mail address, and credit card information. In addition, as part of our service offerings, users can upload and post information, documents, videos, photos and other materials relating to residences they own, manage or operate (“User Content”), which User Content may also contain Personal Data of users and others. You are responsible for obtaining permission to upload or post any Personal Data of any third party contained in the User Content you provide to the Site.
• Anonymous Data: This is information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual user of our Site. For example, the Site may track the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, IP addresses of visitors, and any linking to External Web Sites (defined below). An IP address is associated with the access point through which you enter the Internet, and is typically controlled by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your company.
• Aggregate Data: This is data about groups of users that does not identify directly or indirectly any particular individual. For example, we may analyze Personal Data and Anonymous Data for trends and statistics in the aggregate, but such information will be maintained, used and disclosed in aggregate form only and it will not contain personally identifiable information. We may use such Aggregate Data to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION?

We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data through various different means from users of our Site:

We collect information, including Personal Data, when users register on our Site, purchase products or services on our Site, interact with us through customer service or other communications, respond to customer surveys, enter contests or sweepstakes or other promotions, or post or upload information or material to our Site, including on message boards, chat rooms and other public forums and interactive areas (“Interactive Areas”).

We use "cookie" technology to enhance your experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Site. If you've registered for our Site, cookies tell us whether you've been to the Site before, and help identify information you've already viewed on the Site or information that would be of most interest to you. The cookie itself does not obtain any personal information from you or extract any information from your computer. For more information on cookies, see “Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms” below.

HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

Provide you products and Services through our Site, including without limitation, Zada® Files;

Process transactions online and to communicate with you regarding our current and future products and services;

Notify you of our new products and services and other developments and provide you information of the products and services of third parties with whom we have relationships;

We may disclose such information to third party vendors (e.g., data storage and processing facilities) that we use to assist us in storing and processing our data, conducting transactions through the Site and in managing and providing services through the Site. We endeavor to require our third party vendors to agree to similar obligations of confidentiality to those contained in this Privacy Policy;

We may disclose your address and user content to third party artificial intelligence technologies such as chat generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) to provider deeper education and content to help you manage the specific aspects of your home. We strive to use AI technologies that also commit to not saving your user content beyond what is necessary to provide specific information back to you and not saving or using your data in their large language model. We will do this only when you initiate the Zada AI Home Assistant (or Zada AI, or Zada Chat) chat within the platform so it is entirely in each user’s control whether to use this feature or not.

We may disclose such information to other third parties at your request or when you have elected to use their services through our Site. For example, you may elect to publicly post or display Personal Data and information about your residence in our Interactive Areas, such as in Zada®_ Files. We are not responsible for any disclosure or use of your Personal Data that are posted to Interactive Areas or that you provide to third parties (we encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting Personal Data to them);

We may disclose Personal Data and other information about you as we believe is reasonably necessary to comply with laws, regulations, court or administrative orders, or other governmental authority or to prevent harm to yourself or others, or to the Site; and

Finally, we may disclose your Personal Data to our subsidiary and affiliated companies, upon a transfer or sale to another entity of all or substantially all of our stock or assets in the line of business that this privacy policy relates or upon any merger or other corporate reorganization.

We may also share Aggregate Data regarding use of our Site with third parties for marketing and other purposes, but such aggregate information will not specifically identify any particular user

OUR USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING MECHANISMS

We and our third party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third party service providers may do so on our behalf).
Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies). In addition, we are not aware of any third parties that collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses the Site or the Services.
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

• Session Cookies: Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.
• Persistent Cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, and to display advertising both on our Site and on third-party sites.
• Disabling Cookies: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

THIRD PARTY ANALYTICS

We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site and, to the extent permitted, our Mobile Application.
