APPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT
Users of Zeddit Limited. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (“Zeddit”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) trust us when they come to our website or use our services. This privacy statement is to further that trust by being transparent with our privacy practices regarding personal information (as defined below) that we collect, use, share and secure from: (i) visitors to https://Zeddit.com (the “Site”); (ii) users who register to use our online, web-based platform for analytics services (the “Services” and such users, the “Customers”); and (iii) users of our mobile applications (“Application(s)”). If you are a Zeddit Customer, this statement also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information. The use of information collected through our data analytics platform is governed by our Terms of Use and shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which the Customer has engaged Zeddit. This privacy statement is not intended to discuss the collection or use of personal information by a Customer’s use of the Services and does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that display or link to different privacy statements. Because a Customer’s collection or use of personal information is specific to their use and implementation of the Services, please consult a Customer’s privacy statement or the written contract between a Customer and Zeddit for the Services for more information. For additional detail, please see the Analytics Platform Activities section below. If you have questions or complaints regarding this privacy statement or our privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected].
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information, including personal information, in various ways when you use our Site, Applications and Services. As used in this statement, “personal information” means any information which, either alone or in combination with other information, identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, and email address. Information You Provide Us We collect information, including personal information, you provide us voluntarily. For example:
- When you enter in your first and last name, email address, and password when you create an account to access the Services (“Account”) or otherwise enter similar information into forms or surveys on our Site or Applications.
- When you enter information using your Account, including postal address, phone number, fax number, company name and credit card payment information.
- If you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send us your location), we may store and use that information for internal analytics purposes.
Information Collected Via Technology. We automatically collect certain information via technology:
- IP Address, Location and Browser Information. When you visit our Site or use our Applications, some information is automatically collected. This may include information such as the operating system (“OS”) running on your device, internet protocol address (“IP Address”) (which may be used to obtain your geolocation), access times, browser type, language settings of the OS, and the website you visited before our Site. We also collect information about how you use Zeddit’s Site, Applications and Services, including the elements you have interacted with, metadata and other details about these elements, clicks, change states and other user actions.
- Browser Local Storage: We also store data locally on your device to enhance the user experience on our Site. For example, browser local storage allows us to save the state of your current page so that when you return at a later time or refresh the browser, the page will remain the same. We may also use browser local storage to: (i) save a list of items the user last used on the Site or Services (such as events and properties the user selected) so we can display “recently viewed items”; or (ii) marking once a user has seen a tutorial, video, tooltip or onboarding flow so that the user only sees the content one time.
- Mobile Services. We may also collect information from your mobile device, such as but not exclusively the first time the Application is opened, mobile carrier, the device identifier (or “UDID”), and the type of device that is being used, if you have downloaded our Applications. This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you and improve our Services and analytics platform. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how you use the Applications and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our Applications crash on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model and OS version, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our Applications. We send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user identification information. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our Mobile Software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.
Access and Control of the Information We Collect We recognize an individual’s right to control the type of personal information that is collected about them. Our Customers can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Zeddit retains your personal information while you are a Customer and will delete your personal information upon request. Customers may also send requests for access to your personal information by emailing [email protected]. Zeddit will respond to any request to delete Customer personal information within a reasonable timeframe. As discussed in the introduction, this privacy statement does not apply to the end-users tracked by our Customers. If you are a customer of a Zeddit Customer, please contact that Zeddit Customer for access to your personal information.

If we choose to use your feedback on the Site we will request permission to include names of individuals. We may also include a profile picture along with your feedback. If you wish to update or delete your feedback, you can contact us at [email protected]. Creation of De-Identified Data We may create de-identified data records from personal information by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this de-identified data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Services and improve Applications and Site navigation. We reserve the right to use de-identified data for any purpose and disclose de-identified data to third parties in our sole discretion. Profiling When you interact with our Site by completing a form (such as a request for us to contact you, request for information on pricing, or downloading content) we will collect your personal information and analyze your information to build individual profiles. We use third party tools to help us build the profile by providing firmographics: company size and industry for example. These profiles will be used to help us predict future interest in our Services. The profiling is based on your activity on our Site such as what you are reading or downloading and is updated in real-time based on your activity on the Site. Sharing of Information We do not share your personal information with third parties without your consent other than:
USE OF COOKIES
Cookies are small text files placed on an individual’s computer by sites that the individual has visited. They are used to make websites work more efficiently and effectively and help us improve our Site, our marketing activities and your experience. Cookies may also provide information to the owner of a website about its users. The text in a cookie often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your computer, but it can contain other information as well. Specifically, we use cookies to see which areas and features are popular and to count visits to our Site. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can choose to set your browser to remove cookies or to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Site and could remove cookies used to opt-out of tracking for the Services. You can control your cookie settings on our Site by clicking here. Zeddit uses cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:
- Sign-In and Authentication. When you sign into the Site using your username and password we store an encrypted cookie on your device. This cookie allows you to move from page to page within the Site without having to sign in again on each page. You can also save your sign-in information so you do not have to sign in each time you return to the site.
- Performance. Zeddit uses cookies for load balancing to help ensure that websites remain up and running.
- Storing Information for Purchases on the Site. When you seek to purchase one of our Services plans, we store the data in a cookie to remember the products and information you have added for purchase.
- Opt-Out Cookie. When you opt-out of tracking on the Site, Zeddit will store a cookie that will block other cookies from being stored.
Some of the cookies we commonly use are listed below. This list is not exhaustive, but it is intended to illustrate the main reasons we typically set cookies. If you visit one of our sites, the site may set some or all of the following cookies:
- IRB, Insights or MP: These are cookies that are used for Site analytics and operational purposes.
- SESSIONID: Helps to authenticate you when you sign into your Account.
Third Party Cookies In addition to the cookies listed above, third parties may also set cookies when you visit the Site. In some cases, that is because we have hired the third party to provide services on our behalf, such as payment processing for credit card billing. In other cases, it is because our web pages may contain content or ads from third parties, such as videos, news content or ads delivered by other ad networks. Because your browser connects to those third parties’ web servers to retrieve that content, those third parties are able to set or read their own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services. To control cookies from those third parties, visit their sites. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising click here (or if located in the European Union click here). Please note you will continue to receive generic ads. These third party cookies include:
- Stripe
- GoCardless
- Spreedly
- Raygun
- New Relic

As noted above, our website may include social media features, such as the Facebook and LinkedIn button or interactive mini-programs that run on our website.

Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the third party providing it.
