Individuals located or residing in countries outside of the United States who submit Personal Information do thereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this Privacy Policy and to its transfer to and/or storage in the United States. By utilizing the site and/or directly providing Personal Information to us, you hereby agree to and acknowledge your understanding of the terms of this Privacy Policy, and consent to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States and/or in other jurisdictions as determined by Zoottle, notwithstanding your country of origin, or country, state and/or province of residence. Your use of the Services or your submission of any Personal Information to us will constitute your consent to the transfer and storage of your Personal Information outside of your home country. If you are unsure whether this Privacy Policy is in conflict with the rules of your country, you should not submit your information or use the Services.

YOUR OPT-OUT OPTIONS

You may access, modify, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by Zoottle regarding your profile or close your account. You can also contact us for any account information which is not on your profile or readily accessible to you.

Zoottle may allow you to access your user name, password, or other profile information that you have provided through the Services, and usage information (for example, your check-in history) for the purpose of viewing, and in certain situations, updating that information and ensuring that it is accurate and complete. We may change the Personal Information you may access as our Services evolve.

Should you ever decide to delete your Services account, you may do so by notifying Zoottle at hi@zoottle.com. If you terminate your account, your profile, including your check-in history and your user submissions (as may be defined in Zoottle’s Terms of Service), as well as any promotional offers you may have received, will be removed from the Site and deleted from Zoottle’s servers.

You should be aware that information that you’ve shared with others or that others have copied may remain visible after you have closed your account or deleted the information from your own profile. In addition, you may not be able to access, correct, or eliminate any information about you that other users have copied or exported out of the Services, because this information may not be in our control.

GOVERNING LAW

This Privacy Policy is governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding that state’s conflicts of laws provisions. Any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Policy or your use of the Services must be brought in the state or federal courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Any cause of action you may have with respect to this Policy or your use of the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.

DATA RETENTION

Even after you remove information from your account or profile, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere, to the extent it has been shared with others, it was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or it was copied or stored by other users. We will keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to comply with our legal obligations, even after you’ve closed your account, such as to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes between users, to prevent fraud and abuse, or to enforce this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. We may be required to retain Personal Information for a limited period of time if requested by law enforcement. We also may retain indefinitely non-personally identifiable, aggregate data to facilitate our ongoing operations.

EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

If you do not want to receive commercial email (other than policy updates) from Zoottle, please indicate your preference by making a modification on your account settings page or by opting out by following the directions provided within our emails and other announcements. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as notices regarding this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes. Support is provided in English and Greek only.
