Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Zerocost ("Zerocost," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform, SDK, and services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, company name, and payment information.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with our platform, including pages visited, features used, and timestamps.

SDK Data: Our SDK collects anonymized, aggregated usage data from end-user applications. This data is stripped of all personally identifiable information (PII) before it reaches our servers.

Device Information: We collect device type, browser type, operating system, and IP address (anonymized) for analytics and fraud prevention.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve our services
• To process transactions and send related information
• To match contextual advertisements to application content
• To aggregate and anonymize usage data for our Data Marketplace
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud
• To communicate with you about updates, security alerts, and support

4. Data Anonymization

All end-user data processed through our SDK is anonymized client-side using industry-standard techniques including entity recognition, regex-based PII scrubbing, and differential privacy. We never store, process, or sell individual user records. Partners who purchase data through our marketplace receive only aggregated behavioral patterns.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data through our Data Marketplace. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Third parties who perform services on our behalf (payment processing, hosting, analytics)
• Advertising Partners: Contextual ad matching data (no PII)
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain account information for as long as your account is active. Anonymized usage data cannot be individually deleted — because all data is stripped of personal identifiers before it reaches our servers, there is no record tied to any individual. However, you can revoke your consent at any time, and we will immediately stop collecting any future data from your sessions. To delete your account, contact us through our contact form.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access or correct your account information
• Opt out of data collection at any time — revoke consent in any app using Zerocost and collection stops immediately
• Request deletion of your account and any identifiable account data
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Note: Because usage data collected through our SDK is fully anonymized before transmission, we are technically unable to isolate or delete a specific individual's contribution from an aggregated dataset. Opting out stops all future collection immediately.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.3), encryption at rest (AES-256), and regular security audits.

9. International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EEA.
