Privacy Policy

​


At ZipSendr, your privacy is important to us. In this privacy policy, we tell you what information we collect, share with others, and how we use it to facilitate deliveries by drivers to customers.

ZipSendr allows people using our technology and services to have merchandise purchased from participating retailers to be delivered directly to a person's doorstep. ZipSendr knows that users of our technology and services care about how their personal information can be used and shared, and ZipSendr takes privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the ZipSendr website or using our technology or services, you are accepting the practices outlined in this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy").​

This Privacy Policy covers ZipSendr's treatment of personal information that ZipSendr may gather when you use our technology or services. In order to enable ZipSendr's technology and services to deliver merchandise you order from a participating retailer, we will need certain personal information. You (or if the retailer has made ZipSendr a part of its order process, such retailer), will need to provide information about your order (which contains personal information), to ZipSendr. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of participating retailers, third parties that ZipSendr does not own or control, or to individuals that ZipSendr does not employ or manage. Participating merchants and retailers may have their own privacy policies that you should carefully review before providing them with your personal information.​

BY USING OUR SERVICES, WHETHER VIA www.ZipSendr.com, WEB PLATFORM OR MOBILE APPLICATIONS, AND/OR BY OTHERWISE GIVING US ANY INFORMATION, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.  If you do not agree with the Privacy Policy, you should not use our services or give us any personal information.  You should also review ZipSendr’s Terms and Conditions, which also apply to your use of the ZipSendr Services, Platforms, and Applications.

Wherever ZipSendr collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.

Other Information:
Non-Identifiable Data: When you interact with ZipSendr through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. ZipSendr may share such information with third parties for any lawful purpose, or such information may be stored or included in databases owned and maintained by ZipSendr affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process. In operating the Services, we may use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Services gives to your browser when you access the Services. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service features.

This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and ZipSendr may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. ZipSendr may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Third-Party Services:

ZipSendr uses third-party carrier and driver partners to make schedule, coordinate, and make deliveries.  ZipSendr will need to temporarily share order details including sender and recipient name, address, phone number, email address, and location access information, among other details.  By using ZipSendr and scheduling an order you agree with and authorize ZipSendr to share the necessary personal information mentioned above with their partners to ensure a quick and timely delivery.

By directly integrating your Third Party Service(s), we make your experience with the Service richer and more relevant. We may ask you to log into or grant us permission via the relevant Third Party Service.

When you add a Third Party Service account to the Service or log into the Service using your Third Party Service account, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the Service to access that Third-Party Service, information that you have provided to the Third Party Service, and Personal Information relating to third parties which such third parties have made available to you through the Third Party Service.
