Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly: your name, email address, and username when you create an account. We also collect your signals, votes, and interactions on the platform. Technical data includes IP addresses, browser type, and usage analytics to improve the product.

2. How we use your information

We use your data to provide the ZAWIOS service, calculate your reputation score, display your public profile, send you notifications about signals, and improve the platform. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Public profile data

Your username, signal history, votes, and reputation score are public by default. This transparency is fundamental to the integrity of the platform. You can control some visibility settings in your account preferences.

4. Data retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, though aggregate statistics may remain.

5. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security audits. Your password is never stored in plain text.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can export your data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@zawios.io.

7. Cookies
