Zulily Notice of Privacy Practices

Zulily, as data controller, respects your privacy and is committed to letting you know how we will collect and use your information in compliance with the data protection laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction. This Notice of Privacy Practices describes the privacy practices we follow in connection with the Zulily sites and mobile applications that link to it (collectively our “Sites”), as well as the related consumer services offered through our Sites. It also describes the options you have regarding our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information when accessing our Sites.

Our Sites offer a variety of products, some of which are regularly available and others that are curated into short-term events, typically lasting three days. As a Zulily member, you will have the opportunity to purchase from our new collections and receive personalized product recommendations relevant to your shopping interests. Because the shopping experience offered by Zulily is based on the individual customer’s interests, our Sites use cookies and other experience-customizing technologies. This allows us to offer something special every day for every customer.

If you are not interested in this type of shopping experience or do not agree with this Notice, please do not use our Sites. Alternatively, you can review additional information about how to manage your cookie preferences here. We reserve the right to modify the terms of these Privacy Practices at any time. We will post any changes to our website. Your continued use of our Sites following the posting of changes will mean you accept those changes.

Zulily is headquartered in the U.S. and offers its services globally. We may need to transfer your information outside of the country in which you are located and make it accessible to our affiliates and third-party service providers in countries where the data protection regulations are not as strong as the regulations in your country. We do this in order to provide you with our services and for the other purposes described in this Notice. Before transferring your information, we will take steps to ensure that suitable safeguards are put in place aimed at ensuring an appropriate level of protection applies to your information, including EU Commission Approved Model Clauses for transfers involving the information of our European customers. Zulily is represented in the EU by zulily Ireland Limited. Zulily is represented in the UK by Zulily UK Ltd. To contact us for further information on these safeguards or the practices described in this Notice, please contact us at privacyinquiry@zulily.com.

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us: Zulily offers special deals and product offerings that may only be available for limited times and in limited quantities. In order to purchase on our Sites and use certain Zulily services, you must register through our Sites as a Zulily member and provide us with personal information, which includes your name, email address, physical address and phone number. If you choose not to provide the personal information needed to register as a Zulily member, you will not be able to purchase on our Sites and you may not be able to use some of the Zulily services.

You will also be required to create a Zulily password. This information allows us to authenticate your access to our Sites, keep you informed in a timely fashion of special deals and product offerings, and complete transactions you initiate. When you use our services, you may also provide payment account information (e.g., credit/debit card information, bank account number), photographs in which you may be recognized, and other information about yourself, including your location if you access our Sites from a mobile device on which geolocation is enabled. If you provide us with feedback or contact us via email (for example, in response to an employment opportunity posted on our Sites), we will collect your name and email address, as well as any other content included in the email, in order to send you a reply, and any information that you submit to us (for example, a CV). If you participate in any of our surveys, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, or subscribe to newsletters or other offerings via our Sites, we may collect additional profile information. When you post messages on the message boards of our Sites, the information contained in your posting will be stored by us and other users will be able to see it.

We may also collect demographic information or personal preferences, from you via other points in our Sites which state that personal information is being collected. We may also collect information from you at events, by telephone, or during other personal interactions. Finally, we may obtain personal information from other sources (such as third-party websites) and combine it with personal information about you already held.

Information collected through cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies: Like many websites, we use “cookies” and other tracking technologies to provide our services to you. The information we collect using these technologies includes, among other things, data that we gather and store about your visit to and use of our Sites, such as your IP address and the location of your IP server, device IDs, device type, wi-fi connection information, general location data, product search history, type of browser and operating system used, date and time you access the services, pages you visit, and, if you came to our Sites from another website, the address of that website. For further information about our use of cookies, please click click here.

Information collected from other sources: We may collect information about you that we receive from our fraud detection service providers, which enable us to verify or update information contained in our records and to better customize services for you.

Personal information that we collect from you about others: Your friends or family may share your personal data with us in connection with our "refer a friend" program, or in connection with our consumer product reviews, through which your friends or family may share photographs in which you appear. We ask that your friends or family obtain your consent prior to sharing your personal information with us

Please note that at any time you or the third party may contact us at privacyinquiry@zulily.com to request the removal of this information from our database.

Interaction with Social Media

We may include applications from third parties on this website or through our Sites, which allow interaction or content sharing by users. Some of these applications provide specific services or content from a third party, such as a Facebook “Share” or “Like” button, and are visible to you when you visit our Sites. Your interaction with these programs typically allows the third party to collect some information about you through cookies they place on your device and other tracking mechanisms. In some cases, the third party may recognize you through its cookies even when you do not interact with their application.

In the event that you participate in a survey, sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion that is sponsored by Zulily and a third party, you will be asked whether you give your consent for Zulily to share your information collected in conjunction with the survey, sweepstakes, contest or promotion, with that co-sponsoring third party.

Personal Information Retention Period

We will keep your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes described above unless a longer retention is required or permitted by law, after which we will delete, anonymize, or disable access to it.
