Your privacy is important to us. Zendable, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Zendable” , or “we” ) provide this Online Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information in connection with the online services offered at www.zable.com and any of its subdomains, and any other online services offered by us in the United States (the “online services” ). This includes the products and services offered via the online services by Zendable, as well as when you interact with us on social media sites and apps, through e-mails or advertisements displayed through online services operated by us or nonaffiliated third parties.
By accessing our online services, you signify that you have read, understood and agree to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and should review our California Privacy Notice to learn more about your rights. Our social media sites or pages may have additional terms from this Policy about the privacy of your information. Please review the privacy policy for the specific online service you are using for more information.
Since we may change the Zendable Online Privacy Policy, the U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice, or the California Privacy Notice, we recommend that you check the current version available from time to time. If we make changes to any of these, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of the page.
