ZAFI ("we", "us") is an independent software studio operating this site. This policy explains, in plain language, what information the site collects, why, who processes it on our behalf, and the choices you have. Effective date: [insert date before launch].
The short version
- We collect basic usage analytics to understand how the site is used, and the details you choose to send us when you get in touch. That is all.
- We never sell, rent or trade personal information, and we run no advertising or ad-tracking of any kind.
- You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, with a single email.
1. Information we collect
Usage and interaction data. We use a website analytics tool to understand broadly how visitors interact with our pages, including which pages are viewed and how the site performs. This data is used to improve design, speed and content, not to identify you personally.
Information you provide. When you use our contact form or email us directly, we receive what you send: typically your name, email address, company, and the details of your project enquiry. Nothing is collected from a form until you press send.
Technical log data. Like almost every website, our hosting provider keeps routine server logs, including IP address, browser type and request time, for security, abuse prevention and reliability.
2. How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve this website and its content.
- To respond to your enquiries and correspond about projects.
- To prepare proposals and deliver work you have engaged us for.
- To meet legal obligations, if any ever apply.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing emails unless you have specifically asked to hear from us.
3. Analytics
We count visits to understand how the site is used. For each page view we record the page visited, the referring site, and your device, browser and operating system type. We do not store your IP address in analytics. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate to spot patterns, not individuals, and every part of the site works if you block cookies.
4. Cookies
The site sets one first-party cookie, zafi_vid: a random identifier, kept for up to a year, that lets us count unique visitors. It is not used for advertising and is not shared with anyone. We run no advertising cookies or tracking networks. You can remove it at any time by clearing cookies for this site in your browser, or prevent it by blocking cookies.
5. Services that process data for us
- Website analytics: to understand how the site is used.
- Hosting: to serve the site and keep standard server logs.
- Contact-form delivery: to relay enquiries to our inbox.
Each of these processes only what is technically necessary to perform its function. We do not hand any of them additional data about you.
6. How long we keep information
Project and enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as it is useful for working together and for our records, after which it is deleted. Analytics data and server logs are retained according to each provider's standard schedule.
7. Sharing
We share personal information with no one beyond the service providers listed above: no data brokers, no advertisers, no "partners." The only exception would be a valid legal requirement to disclose, which we would honour only to the extent the law demands.
8. Your rights and choices
It is your data. You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it. Email us and we will act on it promptly. If you are in a jurisdiction with formal data-protection rights, those rights apply in full.
9. Children
This site is a professional service for businesses and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16; if you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
The site is served over HTTPS, access to our inbox and tools is restricted, and we collect little by design. The best protection for data is not holding it in the first place.
11. Changes to this policy
If how the site handles data ever changes, this page and its effective date will be updated before the change takes effect.
12. Contact
