By registering to become a member of the Zuku web site, you have expressly authorized us to use your personal information to contact you regarding administrative notices and communications relevant to your use of the Zuku web site. We may also use your personal information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as our daily question e-mails that may include information on our sponsorships or new services, products, giveaways, contests and promotions. You can check the appropriate box and elect to “opt in” to receive daily question e-mails by so indicating on your membership page accessed by clicking on the “Edit My Profile” icon. In the event that the giveaway, contest or promotion is sponsored by a third party, by “opting in” to receive the daily question e-mail, you give us your express permission to provide your name and e-mail address to the third party sponsoring the giveaway, contest or promotion. We use your personal information to customize the Zuku web site’s content, layout and services, to improve our content and service or product offerings, to statistically analyze site usage data and to improve our marketing and promotional efforts. If you place a request for products or services, we use your information for purposes of enrollment; to complete, process and, if applicable, ship your order or otherwise service your account. If the products or services are from a retail partner or service provider, we may provide your relevant information to that retailer or service provider for purposes of completing the transaction. If you establish a credit account with Zuku or our providers, we collect additional information, including billing information; credit card number, authorization code and expiration date and tracking information from any checks or money orders. We may also access and use information to resolve disputes, investigate problems or enforce our member agreement. At times, we may review status or activity of multiple visitors or members to do so. Additionally, we may access information whenever we believe in good faith that the law so requires or if we otherwise consider it necessary to do so to maintain our services or improve our products and services. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to manage the Zuku web site and to enhance our site based on the usage pattern data that we receive. Security
We employ reasonable and current methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of information. All users must have a unique username and password combination to gain access to the member portion of the web site. The login will employ SSL encryption across https. All user data will be stored in a mySQL database on a secure server at our service provider’s hosting facilities. All passwords are encrypted in the database. You need to keep your password secret so that the personal information you have entered on the Zuku web site remains private. Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. You should sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This is to help ensure that others cannot access your personal information if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place where others may have access to it. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, for example on message boards or in discussion forums, through e-mail or in other areas, that information can be collected and used by others, as may the username and e-mail address that you use. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Children Under 13
We have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our web site, and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. If a child has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove this information. Additionally, the parent or guardian should attempt to access the child’s membership page through clicking on the “Edit My Profile” button and uncheck the box for daily question e-mails to “opt out” of promotional opportunities. Transfer to the United States
If you are located outside of the United States, please note that the personal data you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. Whenever you submit any personal data to us, you consent to this transfer. Third Party Practices

When you click on links and ad banners that take you to third party web sites or otherwise access another web site to purchase products or services or to complete transactions, the use of any information that you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services. We encourage you to read the other party’s privacy policy before responding to an offer for a product or service or otherwise completing a transaction. Other Disclosures
We may occasionally release information about our site visitors and members when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our member agreement; or to protect rights, property or the safety of visitors to our sites, our members, the public, or our company and its employees, agents, partners and affiliates. As our business grows, we may purchase or sell various assets. In the event that we choose to sell our company or the bulk of our assets relating to this site, information on our visitors and members would be among the transferred assets. Changes to Our Policy
