Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

When you access and use the Platform, we may use technology to automatically collect information to improve our Platform and to deliver a better and more personalized service, which may include:

  • Location data;

Any such information which we may collect through automatic technological means will be aggregated as statistical data and will not include personal information (or will have personal identifiers removed).

Technologies Used for Information Collection and Tracking

We may use one or more technologies to accomplish automatic information collection on our website or through our Platform, examples of which are found below.

  • Cookies (or browser/mobile cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on your device. Cookies are a way to carry information from one session on a Platform to another, or between sessions on related Platforms, without having to burden a server machine with large quantities of data storage.  
  • Flash Cookies. Certain features of the Platform may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on the Platform. 
  • Web Beacons and Other Technologies. Pages of our Platform and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related Platform statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Platform content and verifying system and server integrity). The information we may obtain in this manner would enable us to customize the Platform and to measure the overall effectiveness of the Platform.
  • Google.  Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. It uses cookies to collect, for example, information about the operating system and the browser that you use, your IP address, the Platform you previously accessed (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to the Platform.  On subsequent repeated visits to the Platform, frequently used information is automatically displayed for you. We are able to track your usage patterns with the help of the cookies. The information generated by cookies about the use of the Platform is transmitted to a Google server, which may be located within or outside of, the United States, and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Platform.  Google may transfer these rights to third-parties insofar as it is required to do so by law or in order that data may be processed on Google’s behalf. By accepting this Policy, you consent to the processing of your data by Google.

  • To our affiliates, contractors, service providers, and other third-parties we use to support our business operations;
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of GuruZoom’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by GuruZoom about our users is among the assets transferred;

Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Your Information 

We strive to provide you with options regarding the personal information you provide to us. If you do not want us to collect your information, as described in this Policy, do not use the Platform. This section describes mechanisms we provide for you to control certain uses and disclosures of your information.

  • Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s Platform. If you disable or refuse cookies or Flash cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the Platform may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
  • Email and Promotional Offers. When you contact us through certain forms on the Platform, you may be added to our email list to receive email messages. At any time, you can choose to no longer receive such emails by using the “unsubscribe” method found at the bottom of each email or by sending us an email or other correspondence stating your request.
  • Contact us. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, have a specific request to correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us, or if you feel that the Platform has not followed its Privacy Policy or Terms of Use, feel free to contact us, as provided below. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

If you delete your User Contributions from the Platform, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other Platform users.  Proper access and use of information provided on the Platform, including User Contributions, is governed by our Terms of Use.

No Collection of Information from Children

Our Platform is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not solicit or knowingly collect any information from visitors under 13 years of age, and please do not use the Platform if you are not yet 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us immediately through the Contact Information Section below.

“Do Not Track” Signals

For residents of California and Delaware, certain statutes, including California Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575 and 6 Del.C. § 1205C, seek disclosure of how the Platform responds to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about their online activities over time and across third-party Platforms or online services. Although it is not clear that the statute applies, we believe that an example might be a browser option allowing you to ask Platforms not to track you across third-party Platforms so that they can serve targeted or behavioral advertising to you. You should not use the Platform if you desire a “do not track” signal, because the Platform may not honor it.

Using the Platform from Outside the United States

This Policy is intended to cover collection of information on or via the Platform from residents of and within the United States. If you are visiting the Platform from outside the United States, please be aware that the data protection laws governing this Platform might not be as restrictive as those in your country. By using the Platform, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third-parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in any public areas of the Platform. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Platform.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our Platform. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Platform.
