Privacy Policy
At Zona Digital ("Zona Digital", "we", or "us"), we recognize that protecting your privacy is extremely important. In this Privacy Policy, "personal information" or "personal data" refers to information that can identify or reasonably be used to identify an individual.
In the sections below, we'll explain how we collect, use, and share personal data about any user or visitor ("you") to our websites, mobile apps, and other online services ("Online Services") when those services link to this Privacy Policy. We'll also describe the choices you can make concerning the use of your personal information, and how you can access or modify these details.
Which personal details do we gather?
We gather a variety of personal data in order to provide you with our Online Services, such as:
- Contact and request information: This includes details that let us stay in touch with you, like your name, email address, phone number, and home or business address. We also collect any personal information you choose to provide when reaching out to us with questions, comments, or inquiries about our products and services.
- Website information: Whenever you visit our websites, we automatically gather technical information such as your computer's IP address, browser version, internet service provider, time zone settings, referring/exit pages, operating system, and date/time stamps. We may also collect clickstream data and use tracking tools to understand how you engage with our Online Services.
- Public information about you: If you identify yourself to us (for instance, if you show interest in our services), we may source additional personal data from publicly available resources, including any publicly viewable contact or demographic details (e.g., on business websites or professional networking platforms). We may also provide forums or bulletin boards on our Online Services—remember, any personal data you post there could be visible to the public.
In what ways do we use your personal data?
We utilize the personal data we gather to deliver and enhance our products and services. Specifically:
- Contact and request information is used to respond to your inquiries, whether about product documentation or whitepaper requests. Where permitted by law (and with your consent, if required), we may also use your contact details for marketing, promotional offers, and updates about new services or benefits.
- Website information helps us analyze how our websites and apps perform, identify usage trends, and ensure compatibility for all users. We may also use this information for re-targeting or advertising if applicable law allows.
- Public information about you may be combined with other data we hold so that we can personalize your experience and recommend products or services that might interest you or your company. We also rely on your personal data when it's necessary for legal or contractual reasons, or to protect our legal rights (e.g., during a complaint or dispute).
Which personal data do we disclose?
Zona Digital may release your Personal Data if we sincerely believe such action is necessary:
- To comply with any legal requirements;
- To protect or defend the property or rights of Zona Digital;
- To investigate or help prevent potential misconduct related to the website;
- To safeguard the personal well-being of those using our website or the general public;
- To protect ourselves against legal liability.
Any service provider working on behalf of Zona Digital must maintain at least the same level of confidentiality as outlined in this Privacy Policy. These providers will only have access to your personal data if it's essential to their assigned functions.
We may also compile and analyze aggregate or statistical data about users of our Online Services in order to refine the content, structure, and navigation of our services, as well as related products. This data is not associated with individual identities.
