ONLINE ANALYTICS.

We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those of Google Analytics and crazy egg. These service providers use the sort of technology described in the Automatically-Collected Information section above to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services.

Online Advertising.

We do not serve third party advertisements to you while using Jamstik.com, Zivix.co, alpguitarsamerica.com, or studiomidiguitar.com. However, we do work with website analytics and advertising partners, including Google, Doubleclick Campaign Manager, Adwords, Drip and Facebook, to deliver Jamstik and Airjamz advertisements on third-party publisher websites - these partners may set cookies on your computer's web browser. These cookies allow our partners to recognize your computer so that the ad server can show you our advertisements elsewhere on the Internet, and so that our analytics software can measure your engagement and interactions while using our websites. In this way, ad servers may compile anonymous, de-identified information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw our advertisements, whether or not you interacted with our advertisements, and actions performed on subsequent visits to our websites. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you, and it allows Zivix to optimize the performance of our advertising campaigns and the usability of our website. In other words, we use analytics data in concert with data about our online ads that have been shown using the Google Display Network, DoubleClick for Advertisers, or other online advertising networks. By doing so, we can understand how anonymous users interacted with our website after seeing our ads.

Amazon Associates:

Zivix LLC is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate Zivix earns from qualifying purchases.

IP ADDRESSES AND "COOKIE" INFORMATION

As is the standard practice with many websites, our website logs your IP address and uses "cookies," which are data files that are downloaded onto your computer when you visit our website. Cookies automatically identify your browser to the Jamstik.com and playairjamz.com server whenever you interact with the website. We use the information that cookies provide to improve the customer experience of our website as well as for marketing purposes. You can disable cookies by turning them off in your browser. We do not use cookies to track any personal information such as your name or address, but we do utilize cookies to track your session.

USE OF INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES

Zivix may use consumer information obtained from third-party providers like Google Analytics for reasons such as better understanding our customers and identifying ways & means to better target our advertising to our customers. You have the right to opt-out of receiving marketing & advertising related-correspondence from us at any time.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Periodically, we work with third parties to help manage and optimize our marketing and communications efforts. We collect customer-provided information, IP addresses and cookie information. By providing such information to third parties, it enables us to learn things like how pages on our website are performing and which of our products are of the greatest interest to our customers. You can “opt-out” of our ability to analyze such data at any time by contacting us at info@jamstik.com.

We may share information such as your name, address, email address, as well as a record of any transactions you conduct on our website with third-party advertising service providers in order to deliver advertising & marketing communications more tailored to your interests.

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements. Google analytics: Our store uses Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits our site and what pages are being looked at.

DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify, Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment: If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption.
