Zuppon Privacy Notice

Updated as of May 16, 2010

To understand how we treat the information you give us as you use Zuppon, you should read this policy.

Personal Information

• Non-Account Activity. You can watch videos on Zuppon without having a Zuppon Account.
• Account-Related Activity. Certain other activities on Zuppon—like uploading videos, posting comments, or watching restricted videos—require you to have a Zuppon Account. We ask for some personal information when you create a Zuppon Account, including your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access.
• Usage Information. We may record information about your usage, such as when you use Zuppon, the channels, groups, videos, galleries and favorites you subscribe to, the contacts you communicate with, and the frequency and size of data transfers, as well as information you display or click on in Zuppon (including UI elements, settings, and other information). If you are logged in, we may associate that information with your account. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. "Web Beacons") in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.
• Content Uploaded to Site. Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, within your playback or profile pages, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others.

Uses

• If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Zuppon Sites, we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Zuppon Sites, as well as provide special personalized features to you.
• Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other Users when you upload videos or send messages through the Zuppon Sites and other Users can contact you through messages and comments. Any videos that you submit to the Zuppon Sites may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general public.
• We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Zuppon Site changes or for customer service purposes).
• We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Zuppon Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
• We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) store information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Zuppon Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

Your Choices

• You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the Zuppon Sites, in which case you can still view videos and explore the Zuppon Sites, but Zuppon may not be able to provide certain services to you. The privacy notices of those services govern the use of your personal information associated with them.
