This Privacy Notice explains how ZIRAH ("we," "us," or "our") processes personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Data Controller

ZIRAH acts as the Data Controller for the personal data of our website visitors and direct customers. For data uploaded by our customers into the ZIRAH product (Customer Content), ZIRAH acts as a Data Processor, and our processing is governed by a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

Under GDPR, we only process your data when we have a valid legal basis:

3. Data Collection and Minimization

  • Identity & Contact Data: Name, email, and business address.
  • Technical & Usage Data: IP addresses, browser type, and interaction logs. Following our data minimization principle, technical logs are automatically purged after 30 days.
  • Encrypted Data: We utilize application-layer encryption. For encrypted Customer Content, ZIRAH does not possess the cryptographic keys and therefore cannot access the underlying personal data.

ZIRAH is headquartered in [Insert Country, e.g., the United States]. When we transfer data from the EEA/UK to countries not deemed to have "adequate" protection, we ensure safeguards are in place, typically through European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA).
