Privacy

Effective Date: March 8, 2018

This policy explains what information we collect when you use Zota Productions’ website. It also has information about how we store, use, transfer, and delete that information. Our aim is not just to comply with privacy law. It’s to earn your trust.

 

Information We Collect

In order to give you the best possible experience using Zota Productions, we collect information from your interactions with our website. Some of this information, you actively tell us (such as your email address, which we use to communicate with you). Other information, we collect based on actions you take while using staging.zotaproductions.tv, such as what pages you access and your interactions with our product features. This information includes records of those interactions, your Internet Protocol address, information about your device (such as device or browser type), and referral information.

 

Information You Give Us

When you fill out subscription forms or provide us with other personal information actively, we collect that information for processing and use in accordance with this Policy. Because we change our offerings and features from time to time, the options you have to provide us with personal information also may change, but here are some examples of situations in which you will have the opportunity to provide personal information to us:

 

Comments

When you leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the your Internet Protocol address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

We collect the device type and any other information you choose to provide, such as username, geolocation, or email address.

 

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to provide our services. In order for us to best provide our services (and to help make it feasible for us to do so), it is essential that we are able to collect and use the information as described in this Policy. So it is largely necessary for fulfilling the relationship we have with you, and, where that is not the case, we have a legitimate interest in using the information we collect, including personal information, for these purposes:

 

• to customize and improve the features, performance, and support of the site;
• for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and service improvement (this includes use of your IP address and mobile device information to help diagnose problems with our service and to administer the site;
• to communicate with you through the use of contact information that you provide to us or (where it is lawful for us to do so);
• to analyze use of the site and improve the site;
• for other purposes that you separately authorize as you interact with Zota Productions.

 

Who we share your data with

We will not transfer information about you to third parties for the purpose of providing or facilitating third-party advertising to you. We won’t sell information about you.

If we are going to share your information in response to legal process, we’ll give you notice so you can challenge it (for example by seeking court intervention), unless we’re prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others. We will object to requests for information about users of our services that we believe are improper.

 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

Data Storage

Zota Productions uses third-party vendors and hosting partners, such as WPEngine, for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run Zota Productions. We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs. By using Medium Services, you authorize Medium to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States and any other country where we operate.
