This privacy policy is concerned with your use of the online information services provided by Zappa. It also clarifies our cookies’ policy and usage.

The service provided by Zappa allows vendors and landlords to present their properties, and potential/existing clients access to the details provided with the exhibited properties. Zappa is not an estate agency.

What our Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Zappa collects, uses and protects any of your personal information that its sites obtain. This policy is restricted to the practices of companies owned or controlled by Zappa, and all Zappa emplyees.

Zappa retains the right to modify or repost this Privacy Policy at any time, without notice. Any such modifications or replacements will have immediate effect upon the posting of the modification or replacement Privacy Policy on its sites.

Zappa uses your personal information to:

- help members provide more personalised services.
- assist Zappa’s marketing and promotion efforts. 

Personal information collected: When you visit, register or use the services on its sites, Zappa may ask you to provide certain personal information, including your name and your contact details. Zappa may also collect information about your use of the sites including IP address, searches, times and date of site access, properties viewed, agents or developers contacted, including contents of the emails you send them and any other information that you may upload to Zappa sites. Finally, Zappa may also collect information from any of your correspondence with us.

Information collection and use

Your information allows Zappa to provide you with full access to the sites, and supply the best services and features appertaining to your request. Zappa may collect information to identify patterns for use in marketing. This helps us develop, administer, support and improve Zappa’s services and features. With your consent to contact you, we may do so for your views on our services, and to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to the sites or our services. With your consent, Zappa might also use your information to email you with details about any other products or services on offer that may be of interest. If you change your mind about being contacted in the future, please contact us at hello@zappa.ie.

The following features, by their nature, require and make use of personally identifiable information;

 
Sending emails 
Zappa records the information you complete on the 'Email Advertiser' forms on the Sites. Zappa then sends it to the advertiser you wish to contact. This helps the advertiser provide you with a personalised service. 

Email a Friend 
When you use the 'email a friend' feature, we record which properties you have forwarded, solely to monitor their popularity. We record any other details provided in the email for internal evaluation of service. We do not add any information collected in this manner to our mailing lists.

Registering with us 
You do not need to register with us to visit our Sites. If you do, Zappa saves the details and uses them to personalise its service to you. You can update your details at any time via the Sites or by emailing us at hello@zappa.ie

Who has access to the information you provide or we collect?

Zappa retains access to all your collected personal information. If you have consented on signup or on the appropriate email form, Zappa may provide any collected information to thoroughly screened third parties to contact you about products or services we believe may be of interest. If you change your mind about being contacted by third parties, please email us at hello@zappa.ie with a request to opt out.

If Zappa enters into a joint venture with, or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.

Zappa uses third-party analytics services to help understand use of our services. Google Analytics combines information from Google's interest-based advertising or third-party audience data to provide approximate demographic information.

Zappa does not otherwise disclose, sell or distribute personally identifiable information to any third party without permission, unless required to do so by law.

Access to, changing or removing information

Registered users of Zappa sites can update information or change settings only by emailing us at hello@zappa.ie

Registered users can cancel their membership by contacting us at hello@zappa.ie

Non- registered and registered users of Zappa sites can request a copy of the personally identifiable information held via Google. You may ask Zappa to make any necessary changes to ensure that such information is current and accurate.

Cookies and tracking

Like many websites, Zappa uses "cookies" to personalise your visits to its Sites to simplify the signing-in procedure, and to track your preferences and usage of the websites. Cookies are small pieces of information your browser stores in the hard-drive of your computer. Your browser has the option to prevent websites using cookies (your browser's help screen or manual explains how to do this). NB; using the option to prevent cookie usage may reduce the functionality of Zappa sites and other websites.

Like all websites, Zappa’s servers automatically record 'log files' containing information about the volume and characteristics of our website traffic e.g. IP address, numbers of pages viewed, length of time spent on site. Zappa uses log files to build pictures of site usage, which helps monitor and improve the service. Zappa cannot identify you from your log files.

Very dull looking thingy doodah!

Zappa uses third party advertisements on its sites as additional support. Some advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for retargeting purposes (showing London properties for someone in the UK, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (for example, cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving, through Google's DoubleClick ad server. This places a cookie on your computer when you browse the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). The cookie serves ads specific to you and your interests ("interest based targeting"). They are based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Paris, you may see Paris hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site).

DART uses "non-personally identifiable information". It does NOT track personal information about your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.

You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting [http://www.do%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx]http://www.doubleclick.com/ privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

Security, storage and transfer of information

We follow strict security procedures to prevent damage or destruction of your personal information. Our procedures also prevent unauthorised access to or disclosure of information to any third party without your permission (unless they are providing services as outlined in the 'who has access to your information' section above).

Computers storing your information are kept in a secure facility with restricted physical access, and use secure firewalls and other measures to restrict electronic access. When working with third parties, we demand similar measures to protect your information. All information we collect or record is restricted to our offices. We explicitly ask when we need information to identify you. We may require you to co-operate with our security checks before disclosing information.

You can update the personal information that you give us at any time by viewing your details page. We retain your information for a reasonable period or for as long as is required by law.

Anti-Spam Policy

This Anti-Spam Policy Notice governs the use of Zappa sites along with all associated services, web pages, domains and sub-domains, owned and operated by Zappa. Zappa sites must not be used as a database for direct marketing by phone or SMS messaging or email or by any other form of electronic mail. The personal contact details contained in the placements on the sites are for the sole purpose of letting or selling a property. They may not be used for any other purpose. Sending unsolicited direct marketing electronic mail or making unsolicited marketing phone calls is, in certain circumstances, prohibited by law, and may give rise to fines and/or other penalties.

Zappa considers spamming to be any activity which includes directly or indirectly transmitting electronic mail to any person that has not solicited such electronic mail and does not consent to such transmissions. Zappa also considers spamming as the posting of advertisements that are off topic, or in the discussion forum.

Zappa reserves the right to terminate any account deemed in violation of our anti-spamming policies.

Zappa also reserves the right to suspend any account pending review, upon receipt of any complaint or other evidence of engagement in any spamming activity.

If you are "spammed" by any products, services, website, or any other matters, please report this activity to hello@zappa.ie

Anonymous and aggregated data

Zappa may aggregate data anonymously for disclosure to advertisers or business associates for promotion and marketing purposes. For example; Zappa may disclose to an advertiser the number of unique visitors to its sites, or the percentage age groups of its members. Zappa undertakes to ensure that such data cannot be used for personal identification.

Sale of the Company

Zappa reserves the right to transfer information, including personal data, to a third party in the event of its sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Statement, and provided that the third party only uses your Personal Data for its original purpose. Zappa will notify you in the event of any such transfer, affording an opportunity to opt out.
