Ways EDZNET Collects and Uses Personal Information

"Personal Information" is information that, either alone or in combination with other information collected, identifies an individual. When we combine other information (i.e., information that does not, on its own, identify an individual) with Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.

When you Create a EDZNET Account

When you create an account on a EDZNET website or mobile app, we ask you to provide Personal Information, including your name and email address. You do not need to provide your full name, but you may if you wish. You will use your email address and your password to login to your account. Your EDZNET account will be password-protected. We use your name to help verify your account when you call customer support.

When You Login to Your EDZNET Account with Social Media Credentials

You may choose to login to your EDZNET account using your social media login credentials (e.g., your Facebook login credentials). If you choose to do this, when you login to your EDZNET account using social media login credentials for the first time, you will be asked whether you agree that the social media provider may provide certain information to EDZNET, such as your name, email address, profile photo, posts, comments and other information associated with your social media account.

All of this information is made available to EDZNET by the social media provider due to the way the social sign-on configuration works, but of this information, EDZNET only retains and uses your email address. EDZNET uses the email address provided by the social media provider to associate it with your EDZNET account so that you can use your email address to login to your EDZNET account in the future if you no longer wish to login using your social media login credentials.

If you do not want your information to be shared with EDZNET by the social media provider, then you can simply login to your EDZNET account using your EDZNET account login credentials without using your social media login credentials.

When You Buy Products on a EDZNET Website

If you purchase a product on a EDZNET site, then EDZNET will collect Personal Information from you, such as your name, mailing address and telephone number, so that we can process your order and fulfill your purchase. We do not view or store your payment card information. A third party, processes customer payment card information when EDZNET customers use a payment card to make a purchase on a EDZNET site. We recommend you carefully review the Privacy Policy of your selected payment gateway.

When you Communicate with EDZNET

When you interact with our customer support representatives via email, telephone or in person, we may collect Personal Information, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and contact preferences; and information about the EDZNET products you have. We also may create event logs that are useful in diagnosing product or app performance related issues, and capture information relating to the support or service issue. We use this information to provide you with customer and product support. We may access your EDZNET account in order to assist us in providing you the necessary assistance. To improve customer service, subject to applicable laws, we may also record and review conversations with customer support representatives, and analyze any feedback provided to us through voluntary customer surveys.

We may use Personal Information to communicate with you, including communicating with you about your account or transactions with us, giving you important information about your products or apps, sending you notice about material changes to this Privacy Statement, and, consistent with applicable laws and the choices available to you as described below under Your Choices regarding Marketing Correspondence, sending you offers and promotions for our products and apps.

When You Use Location Features on Your EDZNET products or App

If you elect to use location-based services, such as weather, traffic information, fuel prices, movie times, and local event information, on your EDZNET app or product, then the physical location of your device will be collected in order for EDZNET or our providers to provide you with such location-based services.
