We want you to feel confident about the collection and processing of your personal information while using the services or web-pages offered by Zed UK Limited (“Zed”) and its affiliated companies (the "Services"). In this policy you will find information on how we handle your personal information as you make use of our many offerings.

By using the Services or sending us a request for Services you consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically. If you wish, you may be notified of changes to the policy by sending an e-mail to ukinfo@zed.com

What personal data does Zed collect from you?

Zed collects information in several ways when you use the Services. We collect the personal data that you may volunteer while using our services, and other data that may be stored in our systems based on your use of the Services (such as data on products and services you order and information regarding your enquiries to our customer service). Whenever we collect personal information, we will make a reasonable effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy, though it may not be possible for technical reasons in every instance. We may also collect information concerning our visitors from other sources, such as public records, official bodies, or private organisations.

Certain personal data is required to deliver Zed Services to you, and Zed can provide you with Zed Services only if you have submitted the required information. Such information typically includes your name, mobile phone number, address, login name and information about your movements within the Zed Services (Clickstream). We may ask you to provide additional information which is not essential to the provision of the Zed Services but may assist us in offering services that better meet your needs and preferences.

Other parties may access your personal information through the Zed Services

The Zed Services may enable you to communicate with other visitors (including discussion forums) who may collect your data.

Please be aware that the Zed Services include links to advertisers, content providers and other third parties who may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those sites and services linked to the Zed Services are not covered by this privacy policy and Zed has no control and takes no responsibility for uses made by such third parties.

For what purposes is your personal data collected?

We collect and use personal data for the purposes of offering and producing the Services and developing and marketing current and future Services and other services provided by Zed UK Limited and its affiliated companies ("Zed") or selected partners, but will disclose it to such partners only as set forth below. If we wish to use your personal data for a purpose unconnected to the provision of a contractual service to you which is incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected, we will not do so until we have given you the means to consent to such use and you have affirmatively agreed to do so (e.g., by indicating your consent on the registration form or any later communication).

The purposes for which we automatically log personal data by means such as programming or cookies, or link information automatically logged by such means to personal data about specific individuals, are as follows: technical administration of the Services, research and development related to the Services, and customer administration and marketing. A cookie is a small amount of data that we send to your browser and which is stored on your device and may be used to: remind us of who you are, estimate audience size, assist us and our partners in providing you with the Zed, measure certain traffic patterns, creating bespoke adverts and providing pre-filled registration form details.

Zed respects the privacy of your personal e-mail accounts and mobile phone numbers. We will not send to your e-mail address or your mobile phone unwanted e-mail messages or junk mail, and your e-mail address and mobile phone number details will not be passed on to any organisations beyond Zed without your explicit permission.

In addition, we may collect information on your use of the Services for the purposes of market research and service statistics and development. Such information will be processed and used in a way in which individual users are not identifiable.

With whom does Zed share your information?

Our visitors' personal data may be disclosed to our affiliated companies or to subcontractors to the extent that the processing of the personal data by such subcontractors is solely for Zed. Before your personal data is disclosed to any third party for any other purposes, we offer you the opportunity to consent to such disclosure when your personal data is collected or at a later stage.

Before disclosing personal data we first ascertain, to our reasonable satisfaction, whether the third party provides at least the same level of privacy protection as that described in this Privacy Policy.

Security precautions

Keeping your personal information private is vitally important to us. Zed complies with and is registered under the data protection laws in UK, and takes all reasonable efforts to prevent any unauthorised access to your personal data.

When you register details with us, we use to the extent reasonably feasible a secure transmission technology in order to protect personal data from: unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, and unlawful destruction or accidental loss.

If you transmit credit card information to us in order to complete a purchase transaction or for verification purposes, we transmit this credit card number in an encrypted format or remind you that the information will be transmitted in an unencrypted form.

All our employees and data processors who have access to and are engaged in the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your personal data.

Apart from what Zed does to safeguard your privacy and security, there are a number of things you can do to protect yourself from fraudulent use of the Zed Service. When your Zed account information is password-protected, only you have access to the password. We recommend that you choose a password that you can remember but others will not guess, change it regularly, and write it down in a safe and secure manner. Also remember to sign out of your account and, if applicable, close your browser window when you have finished your work, so that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share the access device (e.g., a computer or mobile phone) with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.

No data transmission over the Internet or WAP can be 100% secure. Although our goal is to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make all reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
