Your privacy is important to us and here are our fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)

- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Our full privacy policy incorporates these objectives and read as follows:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Zite.Me 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. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Zite.Me's visitors use this website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Zite.Me also collects potentially personally-identifiable information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Zite.Me does not use such information to identify its visitors and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Personally-Identifying Information
In order to become a user of Zite.Me's services, visitors are required to some personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Zite.Me gathers depends on the nature of the interaction, for example, we ask new users to provide a username and email address. In each case, Zite.Me collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the user's interaction with Zite.Me and we do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Personally-Identifying Information
Zite.Me discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Zite.Me's behalf or to provide services available at Zite.Me's websites, and (ii) that 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 Zite.Me's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Zite.Me 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, Zite.Me discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Zite.Me believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Zite.Me, affected third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of a Zite.Me website and have supplied your email address, Zite.Me may send you email messages to inform you about changes and new features on Zite.Me but also products and services from our affiliated partners that we believe would be beneficial to you.
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. Zite.Me takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
