Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At ZINIC j.d.o.o., we adhere to a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

ZINIC d.o.o. operates the MemberShops website (https://membershops.com). It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, MemberShops collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. MemberShops’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how MemberShops visitors use its website. From time to time, MemberShops may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

MemberShops also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. MemberShops only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to MemberShops websites choose to interact with MemberShops in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that MemberShops gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example:

  • We ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address.
  • For those who wish to receive MemberShops updates via email, we collect their email addresses.

In each case, MemberShops collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with MemberShops. MemberShops does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Phone Number

By sharing your phone number with us, you consent to receive billing-related text messages (e.g., payment reminders). Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. You may unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP or contacting our support team.

Aggregated Statistics

MemberShops may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, MemberShops may:

  • Monitor the most popular pages on the membershops.com site
  • Use spam screening services like Akismet to help identify spam

MemberShops may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, MemberShops does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

MemberShops discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:

  1. Need to know that information in order to process it on MemberShops’ behalf or to provide services available at MemberShops websites, and
  2. Have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using MemberShops websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. MemberShops will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, MemberShops discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when MemberShops believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of MemberShops, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a MemberShops website and have supplied your email address, MemberShops may occasionally send you an email to:

  • Tell you about new features
  • Solicit your feedback
  • Keep you up to date with what’s going on with MemberShops and our products

We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

MemberShops takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. MemberShops uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of the MemberShops website, and their website access preferences. MemberShops visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using MemberShops websites, with the drawback that certain features of MemberShops websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If MemberShops, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that MemberShops goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of MemberShops may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, MemberShops may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at MemberShops’ sole discretion. MemberShops encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a MemberShops account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
