other user activity to improve your experience).
Advertisers or ad networks may collect this information through the use of tracking technologies like
browser cookies and web beacons, and they may use a single tracking technology or multiple
tracking technologies at the same time.

We will share your information with third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, like
processing payments, analyzing data, optimizing website, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer
service and to help us in our marketing efforts, including managing and delivering contextual and
tailored advertisements. We contractually require these third-party service providers to maintain the
confidentiality of the information we share with them, and we contractually require them not use
your information for anything other than to provide services on our behalf.
Sale or Merger
In the event that iTopZ undergoes a business transition (including proposed transactions), like a
merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part its assets, we may disclose or transfer
all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in the
transition. We will make reasonable efforts to let you and other users know (in the way described in
Changes to Our Privacy Policy) of the business transition before transferring your personal
information.
How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information

Facebook can be found βhereβ. To review and update information associated with your iTopZ
profile, visit the "settings" page. You also can manage some aspects of information collection and
use by visiting the "settings" page of your mobile device and reviewing the permissions of each
application or "app."

information is stored and used by iTopZ in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may access
and update that information as described below.

you have sent content through or posted content on the Service, we may not be able to delete it.
Opting Out of Geolocation

page.
Opting Out of Ongoing Collection of Information About Non-iTopZ Apps You Have On Your

Opting Out of Cookie Tracking
You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or

about and manage flash cookies you can visit the A
β dobe websiteβ and make changes at the βGlobal
Privacy Settings Panelβ.
If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of our Services because

Privacy Policies of Linked Third-Party Services and
Advertisers
Our websites may contain advertisements from Third-Party Services, which are companies other
than iTopZ that may link to their own websites, online services or mobile applications. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third-Party Services. If you have any
questions about how these Third-Party Services use your information, you should review their
policies and contact them directly.
Our Policies Concerning Children
Most of our websites are not for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any
personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not use these websites at any
time. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under 13, we
will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.
How Long We Keep Your Information
How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not
retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal
requirements. For instance, we may retain some information for a few years after you have closed
your account with us if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend or
establish legal rights.
Security of Your Information
We implement security measures to help protect the security of your information both online and
offline. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this
Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your information.
If you have an account registered directly with iTopZ, your profile information is protected by the
password you use to access your iTopZ account. It is important that you protect and maintain
your iTopZ account's security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your
account. If you forget the password to your iTopZ account, the Service allows you to request that
instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Services
through a social network and your social network account is hacked, this may lead to someone
playing your iTopZ without your permission. So, be careful to keep your social network account
information, including your social network account password, secure as well. We urge you to log out
of your iTopZ account and any social network account you have used to access our Services after
you use it.
When you sign into your iTopZ account or enter payment information, we or our third party
payment processor use encryption to transmit that information.
While we take precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer
databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot
guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we
cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any
transmission is at your own risk. If you have questions about the security of our websites, please
contact us at https://itopz.com/contact/ with the email subject: "iTopZ Security Services".
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other users by
placing a notice on iTopZ.net or its equivalent, or by sending you a notice to the e-mail address we
have on file for you prior to the change becoming effective. We may supplement this process by
placing notices on blogs, social network pages, and/or forums and on other iTopZ websites. You
should periodically check https://itopz.com/ and this privacy page for updates.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy and/or practices,
