How we use information

To provide web based, web connected and financial services

Zipbooks financial software products are web–enabled. You can access some of our services from within our desktop products and others directly at a web site. Some desktop features require internet access and will open in a browser window in the software, which will pass through anZipbooks server before being redirected onto the internet. If the software cannot find a connection, it may ask you to establish one. When you are connected to the internet from within the software we may also include product updates and messages, service information and help content in the internet transmissions.

If you choose, your software can check our web site for automatic updates. Then the software will automatically check for updates when you are connected to our servers. If you prefer, you can download updates manually from our web site. When you receive updates, Zipbooks will receive technical information about your computer’s connection and the software being updated. When you access our web–enabled services from within our desktop products we will note the link you clicked on and we may also collect information about your product, system or other technical data that will help us direct you to the appropriate information or service. Some of our web–enabled products and services synchronize with the information on your computer to help keep the data accurate and provide additional online services. In some cases, you can manage the frequency of these updates. If you no longer want to synchronize data, you can cancel the service through the service administration pages.

We may access and set cookies using web beacons, also known as single–pixel gifs, which are invisible graphical images. These web beacons provide useful information regarding our site, such as the pages visitors view.

We also keep track of how you get to our sites and any links you click on to leave our sites. We do not track urls that you type into your browser, nor do we track you across the internet once you leave our sites. We use your web site activity to assist you by reducing the need to re–enter your data and to help us resolve technical support issues. We may also use this information to offer you a personalized web experience, and to tailor our offerings to you. Remember, you control whether you receive Zipbooks promotional communications through e–mail, phone, or postal mail.

We request the user name, password and any other login information that you have set up with your financial institution to enable access. We use your login credentials to routinely update and maintain the financial information you download, to address errors or service interruptions, and to enhance the services we may provide in the future. If we store your login credentials, we will maintain and encrypt them on our firewall–protected servers. Some financial institutions require you to manually update your financial information and re–enter your login information before downloading each transaction. This information is encrypted and transmitted using secure socket layer technology, making it unreadable during transmission. It is then stored on our secure servers. We also periodically receive aggregated, anonymous, general usage information from financial institutions or their processors, including which online services are used and the frequency of usage. This information helps us improve our services and assist us with troubleshooting and technical support.

At Zipbooks, safeguarding your personal information is a top priority. Part of our commitment is making you aware of popular identity theft and fraud scams and providing you with information to protect yourself. Although sometimes difficult to identify, you may receive hoax e–mails, such as phishing scams, that look authentic and appear to have been sent by a company you recognize. These e–mails ask you to provide or confirm your sensitive personal information by clicking on links. To entice you, they often claim an urgent or threatening condition concerning your account, or offer you a prize. You should not reply or click on any links in the e–mail or provide any personal information without verifying that the e–mail is legitimate through another channel. Zipbooks does not solicit sensitive customer information via e–mail. If you receive an e–mail message that appears to come from us that requests such information, please forward it immediately to: info@Zipbooks.in. We will respond quickly to mitigate potential damage.

Sometimes we ask outside firms, or third parties, to help us provide services, such as designing a web site, sending e–mails, registering a prospective domain name, or analyzing data. Our contracts with these third parties outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit them from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service they’re providing. We require vendors to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them.

We may disclose, access, or report personal information when we believe, in good faith, we’re required to by law or to protect our legal rights. We may also do this in connection with an investigation into a suspected violation involving the terms of service, fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that may be illegal or expose us to legal liability. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities or to comply with a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.

We may report and share information about your account to credit bureaus, consumer reporting agencies and card associations. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report and consumer report. We may also share information with other companies, lawyers, credit bureaus, agents, government agencies and card associations in connection with issues related to fraud, credit or debt collection.

We work with other companies or developers to provide you with products and services which we clearly identify. Either Zipbooks or the other company may offer these products and services. We clearly identify these co–branded products and services. In some cases, we exchange customer usage information to establish and provide ongoing service. By requesting these products or services, you are permitting us to provide your personal and usage information to the other company.

We also may share non–identifiable, non–personal aggregate information about our users with third parties, such as advertisers or partners, for marketing and promotional purposes. Our web sites may provide links to third–party sites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. These could include other services, promotions or sweepstakes offered by business partners. Because Zipbooks does not control the information policies or practices of these third parties, you should review their privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and use personal information.
