ZuluNest Privacy Policy Last Updated: September 1, 2023

Welcome to ZuluNest's Privacy Policy. This document outlines how we gather, use, and share information on our online platforms and assets, including websites and mobile applications, owned and operated by ZuluNest, Inc. ("ZuluNest," "we," "us," or "our"). This policy covers our website, www.zulunest.com, and its related services (collectively referred to as the "Site"). The Site provides a digital platform that allows qualified charitable organizations and other entities ("Fundraisers") to raise funds from visitors to the Site ("Donors") through the sale of products or services or by requesting contributions for their missions. The Site also offers associated services (collectively referred to as the "Services"). ZuluNest, Inc. provides technology solely to facilitate interactions between Fundraisers and Donors or other users, without directly participating in fundraising activities or interactions resulting from the Services.

By accessing the Site or using the Services, you express your consent to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined in this policy, it is important that you cease using the Site immediately.

I. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: "Non-Personal Information" related to Site usage and "Personally Identifiable Information" about Site visitors. Non-Personal Information includes automatically gathered data that cannot be used to identify an individual, such as anonymous usage statistics, general demographic data, exit/referring pages and URLs, device types, preferences you provide, preferences generated from the data you provide, and the number of clicks. "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to details submitted by Site visitors that identify or relate to a specific person.

We gather Personally Identifiable Information that you provide, including registration details submitted by Fundraisers (such as name, email, postal address, phone number, organization name, billing information, campaign details), information provided by Donors when engaging with Fundraisers (name, email, postal addresses, and other details requested by Fundraisers), and contact information when you reach out to us with an inquiry (email address, phone number).

Payment information from Donors is not collected by us; those wishing to make a purchase or donate to Fundraisers are directed to Stripe or another third-party payment processor, which handles and processes payment data.

We utilize cookies and similar technology to gather aggregated Non-Personal Information about Site usage across all visitors and to retain your preferences for future visits to the Site. Information provided by your browser or our software application during interaction with the Service—such as the referring website ("referring URL"), browser type, device used, access date and time, and other non-identifying data—is tracked. Cookies, which are small text files with anonymous unique identifiers, are used for this purpose. These cookies are sent from our servers to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. They enable us to collect Non-Personal Information and maintain a record of your preferences while using our services, both individually and collectively. We employ both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after your session ends until deleted, while session cookies expire when you close your browser. For example, a persistent cookie might help us determine whether you've visited ZuluNest before, allowing us to display basic Service information during your first visit. Further information about cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Specific third parties are authorized to place cookies on the Site, providing us with insights into Site usage patterns, user demographics, or enabling relevant advertising. These third parties may gather information about a user's online activities across different sites and time periods, including when accessing our site. Additionally, we may permit third-party service providers to place cookies on the Site for analytical or marketing purposes. For instance, Google Analytics is used to collect information about Site usage, solely for the purpose of improving our Site. Google Analytics does not collect Personally Identifiable Information, and the collected data is not combined with Personally Identifiable Information. We do not control third-party cookie usage or the resulting data and are not responsible for their activities or policies.

Our technology does not respond to "do-not-track" signals sent by your web browser.

II. How We Use Your Information

The data you provide is used for general commercial purposes, including enhancing our Site, expanding our business, strengthening Site and Service security, and presenting our own or third-party products or services that we believe may interest you. This information may also be used to inform you of relevant updates about the Site, Services, or your registered account. Your contact information is used to address inquiries and provide information about products or services.

Aggregate, non-private, or other Non-Personal Information, such as Site or Services usage statistics, may be shared with our affiliates and third parties.

IV. Data Protection

We implement reasonable technological, administrative, and physical measures to safeguard information within our system against misuse, loss, or alteration.
