WP Company LLC (“The Washington Post,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) owns and operates Zeus Technology (“Zeus”). We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information, and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to provide you with important information about our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies when you use the services made available through Zeus, including the websites at www.zeustechnology.com, www.zeusprime.zeustechnology.com and other online services that include a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
