BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA 

Applicable law in certain countries requires us to set out in this Privacy Statement the legal basis upon which we rely in order to process personal data. 

Consent: We may rely on the consent that you provide us at the point of data collection or disclosure to us to process such data for the purposes outlined herein.

Legitimate interests: We may rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, provided that our interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms. In particular, we may process your personal data in reliance on a legitimate interest in the effective and lawful operation of this Website and our businesses, as well as the effective delivery of information and services to you. We may have other legitimate interests and, if so, we will make clear what those interests are at the relevant point in time.

Compliance with legal obligations: We may process your personal data if necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation arising under an applicable law to which we are subject.

To the extent that we process any “special” or “sensitive” categories of personal data relating to you, we will do so because either: (i) you have given us your explicit consent to carry out such processing; (ii) the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or (iii) you have made the data manifestly public. 

If you have questions or concerns about the legal basis upon which we collect and use your personal data, you can contact us at [email protected]t.

These plugins allow you to share information from this Website to your timeline or account. When you connect to these services, the third parties may store and/or access data (including through the use of cookies and other similar technologies) over which we do not have control. If you are logged into one of your social media accounts while visiting a webpage on this Website that contains a social media plugin, the social media plugin may allow the relevant social media platform to receive information that you visited this Website and link it to your social media account. We do not control these third-party platforms, and information collected is governed by the privacy statement of the third party that provides the relevant platform.

Other third-party cookies and technologies. We also enable third-party cookies and other similar technologies to collect or receive data from this Website and elsewhere for use in advertising, including for the purposes of serving advertisements targeted to users’ interests, retargeting visitors to this Website, conversion tracking (i.e., tracking the actions users take after viewing or engaging with our advertisements), measuring ad effectiveness, and ensuring that you do not see the same ad repeatedly. These cookies and similar technologies collect data about your browsing habits and online behavior, including across different browsers and devices used by you, in order to serve advertisements that may be of interest to you.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

This Privacy Statement does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of any third parties, including those that operate websites to which this Website links. The inclusion of a link on this Website does not imply that we or our affiliates endorse the practices of the linked website. 

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect data under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you feel that the security of any data that we hold about you has been compromised, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below.

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

You have choices about how your personal data is handled, and we are committed to providing you with reasonable access to your personal data and the ability to review and limit the use of such data in accordance with applicable law.

If you no longer want to receive electronic newsletters you signed up to receive or other marketing communications from ZAA, you can click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of such communications.

Depending on your country of residence, you may also have the right to:

• request confirmation that we are processing your personal data;
• request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• request that we update the personal data we hold about you or correct such data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• restrict the way in which we use your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or limit our use of your personal data (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held);
• object to our processing of your personal data;
• withdraw the consent that you have given us to process your personal data (where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent);
• request that we delete the personal data we hold about you; and
• lodge a complaint with the data protection or privacy authority in your country of residence regarding our processing of your personal data.

If you are interested in exercising one or more of the rights described above, you can write us at [email protected]. Please note that we may require proof of your identity before we can give effect to these rights.

We will not discriminate against you if you decide to exercise your rights under applicable law. 

Because we want to avoid taking action regarding your personal data at the direction of someone other than you, only you or an “Authorized Agent” permitted to act on your behalf may submit a request. An “Authorized Agent” means a natural person or a business entity you have authorized to act on your behalf by providing your written permission. Please note, we may deny a request from an Authorized Agent if they do not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.  

Your request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data or an Authorized Agent; and
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data we maintain relates to you. To verify your identity, we will seek to match any personal data you provide when you (or an Authorized Agent) submit your request to any personal data we already maintain. If we are unable to verify your identity based on the data we maintain, we will let you know.

DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

“Do Not Track” (“DNT”) is a preference you can set in your web browser to let the websites you visit know that you do not want them collecting data about you. At this time, this Website does not respond to DNT or similar signals. Please refer to the “Cookies and Other Internet Technologies” section of this Privacy Statement for more information about how you can decline the use of cookies on your device.

DATA RETENTION

We will retain your personal data only for those periods necessary to fulfill the various purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.
