What this page covers
It applies to your use of zufloo.com: reading articles, sending a message through our form, subscribing to any newsletter we offer, and viewing ads that appear on our pages. It sets out the legal bases we use, your rights, and the steps to exercise them.
Legal bases we rely on
- Consent: for cookies that are not essential, for analytics, and for advertising where law requires a clear yes.
- Legitimate interests: to run a fast, secure site, prevent abuse, and understand what readers use so we can improve.
- Contract: to deliver something you asked for, such as a newsletter you subscribed to.
- Legal obligation: to meet duties such as record keeping where they apply.
The data we process
- Contact data: the name and email address you share and the content of your message when you write to us.
- Usage data: device type, browser type, pages viewed, time on page, and referring page captured by standard logs or analytics.
- Consent data: your cookie choices, the date you chose them, and the categories you selected.
- Advertising signals: device level identifiers and broad interest groups used to show or limit ads and prevent invalid activity.
- Newsletter data: your email address and delivery status if you sign up.
How we use it
We use data to operate the site, reply to messages, improve navigation and performance, prevent abuse, and show or measure ads where they appear. We do not sell personal contact details.
How to make a request
Email hello@zufloo.com with the subject line Data Rights Request. Tell us which right you want to use and include enough detail to find your records. If you can, write from the same email address you used with us. We may ask for basic verification to protect your information. We aim to respond within one month. If a request is complex, we will tell you we need more time and explain why.
Cookies and consent
Readers in regions that require consent see a banner on first visit. You can accept, reject, or choose categories such as essential, analytics, and advertising. Your choice is saved and can be changed at any time using the Manage Consent link in our footer. Essential cookies keep core features working and stay on even if you reject optional categories.
Our service providers
We use trusted vendors to host the site, send email, run analytics, manage consent, and deliver advertising. They process data on our instructions and under confidentiality duties. We share only what is needed to run the service, protect security, measure performance, and honor your choices.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside your country. We use practical safeguards: limited access on a need to know basis, encryption in transit where supported, contractual protections, and shorter retention where feasible.
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose collected.
- Analytics and advertising data: kept according to vendor settings that match our consent choices.
- Server logs: kept for security and troubleshooting for a limited time unless needed to investigate abuse.
- Newsletter data: kept until you unsubscribe or until we close the list.
When data is no longer needed, we delete it or de identify it.
Security
We use sensible administrative and technical measures: access controls, least necessary permissions, and encrypted transport where supported. No online system can promise absolute security. We monitor, improve, and respond quickly to issues.
Children’s data
Our site serves a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, write to hello@zufloo.com with details. We will review and delete information as appropriate.
Complaints
You can lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would value a chance to fix the issue first. Write to hello@zufloo.com and we will respond in a reasonable time.
Changes to this page
We will update this page when our practices change or when laws require it. The date at the top shows when the latest version took effect. If we make a significant change, we will add a short notice on the site.
