Zippy Ship may share customer data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (cumulatively “Third Parties”) who perform services for Zippy Ship or on Zippy Ship's behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Zippy Ship has contracts in place with Third Parties, which are designed to help safeguard customer personal information.

6. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies
(a) Use of Cookies. Zippy Ship and/or its Third Parties collect non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including “cookies.” A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a website can transfer to the customer's hard drive through the customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on the customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by Zippy Ship or its third party vendors. The customer can set its browser to notify the customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. The customer may also set their browser to turn off cookies; however, some websites may not then work properly.
(b) Use of Web Beacon Technologies. Zippy Ship may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor the Website to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Website, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Zippy Ship or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If the customer does not want cookie information to be associated with the customer's visits to these pages, the customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
(c) Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. Zippy Ship may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Website in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on the Website; Website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” Zippy Ship or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
(d) Collection of Personal Information. Zippy Ship collects personal identifying information from the customer during a transaction. Zippy Ship may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help Zippy Ship understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.
7. Information Security
(a) Commitment to Online Security. Zippy Ship employs physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Billing and payment data is encrypted whenever transmitted or received online. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online requests or complaints.
(b) No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. Zippy Ship will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, Zippy Ship shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of Zippy Ship including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of Zippy Ship's staff and/or Third Parties.
