Last Modified: June 01, 2021

ZEFR, Inc. (“ZEFR,”​“we,” or​“us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit www​.ZEFR​.com (the​“Site”) or if you are otherwise engaged with us (“Services”), how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices you have regarding our collection and use of such information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, as well as the Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, please do not use the Site.

In this Privacy Policy, we use the word Data” to describe all the information we collect that relates to you and your use of the Site or our Services. Data” may include personally identifiable information. Data” may be broken into different categories throughout this Privacy Policy. We may refer to different categories of Data separately, but when we use the word Data,” we mean all the different categories described in this Privacy Policy. The term Data” does not apply to de-identified and aggregated data that may be derived from Data, such as traffic patterns, search activity, and other information that cannot be reasonably connected with any individual (“De-identified Data”). We may use De-identified Data for our own purposes in any manner and without attribution or compensation to any person.

Lawful Basis for Processing

Many jurisdictions require that we disclose to you the lawful basis for our processing of your Data. In general, our lawful basis for processing your Data is based on your specific consent or your contract with us. 

By accessing or using any of the Services or by otherwise interacting with us online, you consent to our use of your Data as described in this Privacy Policy. If our processing of your Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, and we will cease collecting your Data. However, in some cases, this may result in your inability to receive partial or full access to the Services, and your withdrawal of consent does not limit our ability to use the Data that has been aggregated and anonymized for use by us in connection with our legitimate business efforts in the future. In addition, your withdrawal of consent may not prevent us from retaining and processing Data if we have gathered such Data pursuant to a different lawful basis or to preserve legal claims. For example, if you give your consent for us to process your Data, but we are also required by law to keep your Data, that separate lawful basis” will still apply, even if you withdraw your consent.

When you enter into an agreement with us, either by accessing the Services, by executing an agreement in hard copy or by clicking I Accept” or similar language online, we will process your Data for the purposes of fulfilling the terms of our contract with you. In that case, our processing of your Data is based on the contract, so your withdrawal of consent will only be effective after the purposes for processing that Data have been fulfilled and after we no longer have a legal obligation to keep that Data.

In all cases, we will comply with applicable law and we will cease processing your Data after the legal right, obligation, or other lawful basis or necessity expires.

Types of Information We Collect

We do not collect Data from you that can uniquely identify you, such as your name, address, and email address, unless you affirmatively choose to provide us with such information.

A. Privacy for EU/UK Residents

The Regulation (EU) 2016679 (General Data Protection Regulation) made effective in Europe on May 25, 2018 (“GDPR”) requires that we clearly describe to data subjects the data we collect and how we use that data. This Privacy Policy does that and if you have any questions for us regarding our data collection, please contact us at websupport@​zefr.​com.

Pursuant to the GDPR, residents of Europe have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to them in the United States. If you are a resident of Europe, upon request from you, we will provide you with access to the Data that we hold about you. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Further, if you are a resident of the United Kingdom (“UK”), to the extent the GDPR as incorporated into UK law pursuant to s.3 of the European Union (Withdrawal Act) 2018 (as amended, the UK GDPR”) is different than the GDPR, we will follow all supplemental requirements under the UK GDPR and you have all rights as a UK citizen under the UK GDPR.

B. Privacy for California Residents

California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which took effect at the beginning of 2020 and has now adopted the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), portions of which take effect January 1, 2022. We comply with the requirements of the CCPA and CPRA to the extent they apply to us. 

If you are a California resident, you may request to exercise your rights for any Data we have processed in the 12 months prior to your request. Such request covers any categories, sources, purposes, and, if applicable, third parties to whom we share the Data. Further, you can exercise any of your rights free of discrimination, for example, we cannot increase the price of the Services or decrease the quality of the Services because you exercise your rights.

All retained information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please note that if you request that your information be removed from our databases, it may not be possible to completely delete all of your information due to technological and legal constraints.

Security

ZEFR has reasonable security measures in place in an effort to protect your Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
