Should such a transaction occur (whether a divestiture, merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, liquidation, or similar transaction or proceeding), we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any transferred information is treated in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may also share information with others in an aggregated or otherwise anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.

Although you are entering into an Agreement with Zeitview to disclose your information to us, we do use third party individuals and organizations to assist us, including contractors, web hosts, and others. Throughout the course of our provision of our Service to you, we may delegate our authority to collect, access, use, and disseminate your information. For example, our web host stores the information that you provide us, and we may hire outside contractors to perform maintenance or assist us in securing our website. It is therefore necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy. For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorization which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving our website or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you.

  • Our Partners: 
    Zeitview partners with other companies and people to provide our Service to you; our partners do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to facilitate the completion of a drone project or perform any other function that we believe in good faith is necessary to protect the security or proper functioning of our Site or Service. Your information may be stored on our partners’ servers inside or outside of the United States.

  • Legal Purposes: 
    At times it may become necessary or desirable to Zeitview, for legal purposes, to release your information in response to a request from a government agency or a private litigant.
