Zyft is a price comparison service and does not itself provide any products through the Services.
We provide the Services as a platform to allow you and other users to access information from third parties (including Merchants) to support your purchasing decision relevant to a product.

Any information regarding any products or services available through the Services is issued by and from the relevant Merchant. You further acknowledge and agree that (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws):
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate information for your Account and for any use with the functionality of the Services, and to promptly update your Personal Information, including contact information (if it changes) so that we can maintain and manage the provision of Services to you.

We will only ever complete these activities using aggregated and/or de-identified information and not your identifiable Personal Information. Zyft may use analytics on, or engage third party data analytics service providers for, these purposes and we do so solely to further develop and improve the Services that we offer to you and to offer relevant information to you. If you do not want us to access, collect or use your aggregated or de-identified information for this purpose, you may close your Account and in the absence of an Account, disable the Zyft Browser Extension from your Device(s).

Electronic notifications will be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email address for the Services. You must ensure that you always have a current email address associated with your Account.
Because notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your password. However, notifications may include your Account login name and some information about your accounts. Anyone with access to your email will be able to view the content of these notifications. While you may disable certain voluntary notifications, we will still send you Services-related notices as needed to allow us to provide you the Services.
