Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy explains how ziphow ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit ziphow.com or subscribe to our newsletter.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our site, our analytics provider collects standard usage information, such as the pages you view, how long you stay, your browser and device type, the website that referred you, and your approximate location based on your IP address. Our newsletter emails may also record whether an email was opened and which links were clicked.
How we use your information
We use your information to send you the newsletter you signed up for, to respond to messages you send us, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it, and to operate and maintain the site. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Services we use
We rely on a few trusted third parties to run ziphow. Each handles your information only as needed to provide its service:
• Beehiiv manages our newsletter and subscriber list.
• Framer hosts our website and processes contact form submissions.
• usermaven helps us understand site traffic.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles data.
Cookies
Our site and analytics provider may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of every email. You can also contact us to ask what information we hold about you, or to request that we correct or delete it.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR (for residents of the EU and UK) or the CCPA (for California residents), including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Data retention
We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and for reasonable recordkeeping. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so unless we are required to keep it by law.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.
Children's privacy
ziphow is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International visitors
ziphow is based in the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
