II. Transfer of Information
We may distribute your submissions to third parties, as permitted
pursuant to our Terms of Service. The third parties may in turn publicly display
or publish your submissions in connection with their own websites and media
platforms. When we distribute your submissions to third parties, we typically
include your account name (but not your personal information unless you include
your personal information in your submissions).
We may share your personal information with third parties to
provide you with services that we offer through ZipRockland.com, conduct quality
assurance testing, facilitate creation of accounts, provide technical and
customer support, or provide specific services, such as synchronization of your
contacts with other software applications, in accordance with your instructions.
These third parties are required not to use your personal information other than
to provide the services requested by you.
We may share your personal information with our parent company,
subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control
(collectively, "Affiliates") that we may have now or in the future, in
which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company
acquires our company or our assets, that company will possess your personal
information, and will assume the rights and obligations with respect to that
information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties in a
good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take
action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms of
Service and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search
warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) protect our rights,
reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.
Please note that we are not required to question or contest the validity of any
search warrant, subpoena or other similar governmental request that we receive.
We may disclose information in the aggregate to third parties
relating to user behavior in connection with actual or prospective business
relationship with those third parties, such as advertisers and content
distributors. For example, we may disclose the number of users that have been
exposed to, or clicked on, advertising banners.
We use third party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit
ZipRockland.com. These companies may use information (not including your name,
address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest
to you.
III. Others' Information
You may choose to provide us with another person's e-mail address
so that person may be invited to create an account on this website and become
your friend. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that
person about the invitation. By providing us with another person's e-mail
address, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the person
concerned as regards such disclosure to us of their personal information. All
invitees are provided with the option not to receive further invitations. We may
disclose such information if required to do so in order to comply with legal
process, as described above.
IV. Links

we have no affiliation. Except as set forth herein, we do not share your
personal information with those third parties, and are not responsible for their
privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy policies on all such third
party websites.
V. Controlling Your Personal Data
To the extent you include personal information in your submissions
(such as a photo of yourself), third parties may be able to identify you,
associate you with your user account, and contact you. Third parties can also
associate you with your user account using the member lookup feature on
ZipRockland.com, but only if the third party already knows your full name and
you include information in your submission that allows the third party to
distinguish you from other users who might share the same full name. Please do
not include information in your submissions that you expect to keep private. In
addition, you can reduce the risk of being personally identified by choosing a
fictitious account name, though doing so could detract from the credibility of
your submissions.
Please also note that the personal messages you send or receive
using ZipRockland.com are only private to the extent that you and the
sender/recipient keep them private. For example, we do not have any control over
whether a recipient of one of your personal messages publicly posts the contents
of such a message.
VI. Security
Your account is password protected. We use industry standard
measures to protect the personal information that is stored in our database. We
limit the access to your personal information to those employees and contractors
who need access to perform their job function, such as our customer service
personnel. If you have any questions about the security on ZipRockland.com,
please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against
unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that your personal
information will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this
Privacy Policy.
You hereby acknowledge that Ziprockland.com is not responsible
for any intercepted information sent via the internet, and you hereby release us
from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted
information in any unauthorized manner.
VIII. Terms and Modifications to this Privacy Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and we will post
any new versions on this page without prior notification. It is recommended that
you check the Privacy Policy page from time to time.. In any event, changes to
this Privacy Policy may affect our use of personal information that you provided
us prior to our notification to you of the changes. If you do not wish to permit
changes in our use of your personal information, you must notify us that you
wish to deactivate your account with us. Continued use of the ZipRockland.com
following changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and
agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.
