(See the “Personal information we collect” section above for description)
The privacy of our website visitors is important to us so we do not track any individual people. As a visitor of any public zez.am pages (for example zez.am/zezam):
If the page owner opts into it, we run Plausible Analytics to collect anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. The data is aggregated and shared with the page owner. Each page owner only has access to usage data for their own zezam page. No personal data is collected and no individual visitors are tracked. Importantly, we never use any invasive tracking tool like Google Analytics on public zez.am pages.
We also store the anonymized IP address (the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses are set to zeros) of all requests for 30 days in our access logs. This is necessary to detect malicious activity and prevent abuse and/or attacks on our systems.
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need and that we will solely process this information to provide you with the service you signed up for.
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need and that we will solely process this information to provide you with the service you signed up for.
We use a select number of trusted external service providers for certain service offerings. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high data protection, data privacy and security standards.
