  1. Overview

    2. Zippia, Inc. (“Zippia,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”). This Privacy Notice describes the types of Information we may collect from you when you visit the website at https://www.zippia.com/ (the “Site”), and that you may provide through your communications with Zippia. It also describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Information.

    Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your Information and how we will handle it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Notice.

    Zippia may change this Privacy Notice at any time, at its discretion. Your continued use of the Site after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Privacy Notice periodically for updates.

    This Privacy Notice is subject to and governed by the Zippia Website Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) available at the Site here.

  2. The Types of Information That Zippia Collects About You and How Zippia Collects Information About You

    3. Zippia may collect two types of Information from you when you visit the Site: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information (collectively “Information”).

    • “Personal Information” refers to data by which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
    • “Non-Personal Information” means data that is about you, but does not identify you specifically. If you do nothing during your visit to our Site but browse, read pages, or view content, we will gather and store Information about your visit that does not identify you personally.

    We collect Information:

    • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
    • Through our business-to-business communications with you.
    • From other sources or third parties.
    • Automatically as you navigate through the Site.
    • Through third-party analytics.

    Information You Provide Directly to Zippia. The Information that you provide us directly through our Site may include:

    • Information that you provide to Zippia by registering for an account, filling in forms on our Site, or leaving comments on the Site. We may also ask you for Information when you report a problem with our Site. And it may be necessary for you to provide us with Information so we can communicate with you about an inquiry you have;
    • Information that you provide through the submission of your resume;
    • Responses to questionnaires that we might ask you to voluntarily complete;
    • Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us; and
    • Details of transactions you carry out through our Site.

    Should you choose to log in or register via a third party (for example, by using Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, etc.), Zippia will have access to any public information on the associated profile. Any of this public information is considered to be content that you shared with Zippia.

    Information Automatically Collected from You. The Information that Zippia may automatically collect and store about you when you visit the Site may include:

    • Your location.
    • The Internet Protocol Address and domain name used. The Internet Protocol address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the Internet Protocol Address to direct Internet traffic to you.
    • The type of browser and operating system you used;
    • The date and time you visited the Site;
    • The web pages or services you accessed at the Site;
    • The length of time you spent on a web page at the Site;
    • The website you visited prior to coming to the Site; and
    • Cookies, which are small text files that a web server (such as Zippia‘s or its chosen web hosting company server) places on a user’s computer. When accessing a cookie, Zippia’s server reads a number associated with a browser, but is unable to determine any data about a user. With that number, our web server can tailor its content to the needs of the specific browser, and we can optimize the Site for your use.

    Google Analytics Advertising Features. We also may have the following Google Analytics Advertising Features Implemented: Demographics and Interest reporting, Remarketing, GDN Impression Reporting and Double Click Campaign Manager. These features collect data using Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers. Zippia and third party vendors use these first-party cookies to access the success of online marketing campaigns, inform future campaigns and improve usability on the Site. To learn how to opt-out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features we use, please see Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs for the web at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
