• Information you provide directly: such as your name, email address, and any other details submitted through contact forms, inquiry requests, or account registration.
• Automatically collected information: including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and timestamps, typically gathered through cookies and similar technologies.

This list is illustrative and general in nature; the actual categories of data collected depend on the specific features and forms active on the website at any given time.

• Communicating updates, notices, or information relevant to your interaction with us.
• Complying with applicable legal obligations and protecting our legitimate business interests.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we generally rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a requested service, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our website, provided such interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and gather analytics data. You can typically control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain website functionality. A detailed cookie inventory is not provided here, as it depends on the specific tools and services in active use.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances, such as:

• With service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, or communication tools), under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Zing markbit, our users, or others.
• In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to confidentiality safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

If information is transferred across borders, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection law. The specific mechanisms used depend on the jurisdictions involved and the service providers engaged at any given time.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which can include the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, as well as the right to data portability and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any such rights, please use the contact details provided on our Contact page.
