About This Document: This document contains required legal disclosures and notifies you of our terms of service. This document encompasses use of both our website and mobile software solutions. Any references to site, website, mobile apps, or software are encompassing of all software products provided by zInspector.

 

Your photos are your photos: We will never sell or publish your photos. However, we do need rights to access and copy them. For example, we make low resolution copies of your photos so you can quickly browse your information from our website. Furthermore, if you elect to use zInspector’s Photo Sharing features, zInspector cannot be held responsible for how those end users use your photos. One may equate the zInspector Photo Sharing feature equivalent to emailing someone else your photos from a legal rights perspective.

 

Property definition information is not considered to be your private information: zInspector may use Property Identifiers to facilitate sharing with other users and for other zInspector business services. Because of this, Property Identifiers are not considered your proprietary information. Property Identifiers may include (but not be limited to): property name, property address, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, lists of other rooms, amenities, GPS location of a property, or other information specific to describing the property. Because of this, when describing bedrooms for example, we recommend you do not use personal information.  For instance, we recommend you not define a bedroom as “Jill’s bedroom” or “kid’s bedroom”, but rather one should use a more generic description such as “first on the left”.

 

Note/Photo content, such as Comments, GPS locations of a photo, Job Numbers, and others are NOT considered Property Identifiers: zInspector will only use this Note/Photo content information for providing services only to you or your authorized users.

 

Group Sharing: If you elect to use Group Sharing, the Group Owner has sole proprietary rights to uploaded photos by any and all users. The Group Owner grants its users limited rights to use photos for purposes specifically defined by the Group Owner. If you are not the Group Owner, the Group Owner may disable your access to your generated content at any time. The Group Owner may elect to cancel your account or change your account permissions at any time. If you want to be part of Group and have your own private information, at this point, you must create two different accounts using two different email addresses.

 

Illegal or Abusive Usage is Strictly Prohibited: You must not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other users of our website. You may not use zInspector’s service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. International users agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.

This happens in a number of instances, such as when you sign up for our services, or if you desire to receive marketing materials and information.

Cookies and Other Technologies

Cookies: We use cookies and other technologies to passively collect demographic information, personalize your experience on our site and monitor advertisements and other activities. Cookies are small files downloaded to your computer to track movements within web sites. We may link cookie information to personal information. Cookies link to information regarding what items you have selected for purchase at our store or pages you have viewed. This information is used to keep track of your shopping cart and make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. Also, we use cookies to deliver content specific to your interest and to monitor website usage. Some of our sites use an outside ad company to display ads. These ads may contain cookies. Our ad companies collect cookies received with banner ads, and zInspector does not have access to this information. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies whenever you visit a website. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. However some areas of our sites will not function properly if you do so. Please note that this privacy policy covers the use of cookies by zInspector only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

 

Other Technologies: Other technologies used include clear GIFs and IP address logging. Clear GIFs also known as web bugs, beacons or tags, are small graphic images placed on a web page, web-based document, or in an e-mail message. Clear GIFs are invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the web page, document or e-mail message. We do not use clear GIFs to collect personal information about you. However, we may use clear GIFs to capture statistical usage information for our web pages, features or other elements on a web page. We may correlate this information to a user to personalize user experience and for statistical analysis of user experiences on our web pages.
