Cookies & web beacons

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. A web beacon is a small graphic image (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included on our sites, services, applications, messaging, and tools, that typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.

If you reject all cookies, you may not be able to use Zakatify Services that require you to "sign in," and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. Zakatify Services use cookies for a number of purposes, including:
  • Requiring you to re-enter your password after a certain period of time has elapsed to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents.
  • Keeping track of preferences you specify while you are using Zakatify LLC Sites, Products and Services.
  • Estimating and reporting our total audience size and traffic.

Zakatify LLC lets other entities that show advertisements or provide services on some of our web pages set and access their cookies or web beacons on your device. Other entities' use of their cookies or web beacons is subject to their own privacy policies, and not this policy. Advertisers or other entities do not have access to Zakatify Services’ cookies or web beacons.

Information use, sharing and disclosure

Zakatify LLC does not share personal information we learn about you from your use of the Zakatify LLC web sites, products and services with others except as described in this policy.

When you provide personal information through using Zakatify Services you are, however, sharing your personal information with Zakatify LLC and its affiliated entities. The use of your personal information by these organizations is subject to this policy.

We do not share your information with unrelated third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, Zakatify LLC may display targeted advertisements based on personally non-identifiable information (such as charitable interests, location, etc.) and/or personal selection (See the Section entitled "Third Party Advertising" below for more information on how your information may be shared with advertisers).

Zakatify LLC may use or share your personal information where it is necessary to complete a transaction, to operate or improve Zakatify Services, to do something that you have asked us to do, or tell you of products and services that we think may be of interest to you.

In your profile settings on Zakatify Services, you may opt to publicly display the charities in your portfolio; however, we never display donation amounts.

From time to time, Zakatify LLC or a partner, may sponsor a promotion, sweepstake or contest on our service. You may be asked to provide personal information, including name, email address or home address, or to answer questions in order to participate.

Where you are contacted with an offer or service based on information you have shared with Zakatify LLC, we will do our best to provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such further communications at the time you are contacted; however, in connection with any of our products and services (i.e., products or services that you license or use for a fee), we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to those products and services, such as service announcements, administrative messages, and newsletters that are considered part of your Zakatify Services account.

When you register for Zakatify Services, Zakatify LLC collects user-submitted account information (such as name, email address, etc.) to identify users and send notifications related to the use of the service. Zakatify LLC also collects user-submitted profile information, including additional contact information, location, biographical information, and bookmarked charities. This additional profile information will assist other users in finding and communicating with you.

Zakatify Services will display your "Display Name" (either your username or real name, according to the preferences you set in your account) on our platform where appropriate.

To facilitate searching and finding friends and acquaintances on Zakatify Services, Zakatify LLC allows users to search for other members using your "Display Name." Additionally, Zakatify LLC will allow users to search for you by your first and last name and email address according to the preferences you set in your account.

Email addresses and full names are used when a user invites a friend via email to join Zakatify Services, when a user requests to add another user to their network, and when Zakatify LLC sends notifications to a user related to their use of Zakatify Services.

When you post a message on Zakatify Services, you have the ability to post a message which may include personally identifiable information about yourself. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.

Zakatify LLC may share personally identifiable information about you under the following circumstances:
  • In the course of operating our business, it may be necessary or appropriate for us to provide access to your personal information to others such as our service providers, contractors and select vendors so that we can operate Zakatify Services. Where practical, we seek to obtain confidentiality agreements that are consistent with this policy and that limit others' use or disclosure of the information you have shared.
  • We may share your personal information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; and, if in our judgment, in such circumstances disclosure is required or appropriate.
  • We may share your personal information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our various terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
When you make a donation using Zakatify, you donate to PayPal Giving Fund, a Donor Advised Fund recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. PayPal Giving Fund regrants donations made on Zakatify to donors’ recommended charities, and will receive your name, email address and donation details as part of the donation transaction. PayPal Giving Fund’s use of these details is subject to its Privacy Policy.

As we continue to develop our business, we may also buy or sell all or part of our business. In such transactions, personally identifiable information you have shared with us is generally one of the business assets that will be transferred. The transferred personally identifiable information will remain subject to this privacy policy or subsequent policies to which you have consented.

Third party advertising

Any advertisements appearing on Zakatify Services may be delivered to users by Zakatify LLC or one of our Web advertising partners. Our Web advertising partners may set cookies or web beacons. These cookies or web beacons allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad servers may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies and web beacons by Zakatify Services and does not cover the use of cookies or web beacons by any advertisers.

Zakatify LLC does not share any personally identifiable information with advertisers. Zakatify LLC may share general demographic information (such as aggregated statistics about member interests and occupations) and non-personally identifiable information (such as browser type and IP addresses) with advertisers and partners. Zakatify LLC does not give advertisers access to your individual personal account information. However, by selecting, interacting with or viewing an ad, you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

Zakatify LLC may transfer personal information to certain advertising partners that you have explicitly requested to receive information from. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the personal information and whose privacy statement will apply.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Zakatify LLC may revise, modify or update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your particular Zakatify Services account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.

Confidentiality and security

Zakatify LLC is committed to handling your customer information with high standards of information security. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfil their job responsibilities.

When financial transactions are made by the user, they are processed directly by PayPal and sent from the user’s PayPal account to the PayPal Giving Fund, which then sends the donation to the designated charities. At no time are any funds routed through Zakatify LLC. For more information about how PayPal protects your secure transactions, visit PayPal’s Safety & Security page.

No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make efforts to ensure security on our systems including, but not limited to, the following ways:
  • Zakatify Services uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.
  • Your Zakatify Services account information is password-protected.
In certain areas, Zakatify LLC uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

If Zakatify LLC learns of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using Zakatify Services or providing personal information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of those sites, products and services. We may post a notice on our applicable web sites if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view the applicable web sites. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances.

You can edit your account information on Zakatify Services at any time. Most personal information you may provide is entirely optional - the only information required to maintain a Zakatify account is a valid email address, which we use for important notifications related to your Zakatify account.
