3. Information Visible to Other Users

Zamda is a classifieds platform, and some information is intended to be visible to other users.

Depending on your activity and available privacy settings, this may include:

  • Your public profile information.
  • Listings, descriptions, photographs, and advertised prices.
  • General listing locations.
  • Reviews, ratings, and other public interactions.

Messages sent through Zamda are intended for the participants in the conversation, but may also be accessed or reviewed by authorized personnel or service providers when reasonably necessary for technical support, security, complaint handling, legal compliance, or enforcement of platform rules.

Do not include passwords, verification codes, financial account details, or other unnecessary sensitive information in public listings or conversations.

4. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances.

4.1 Other Users

Information you intentionally make public through listings or profiles may be viewed by other users.

Information you send through messages is shared with the intended participants.

4.2 Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to support services such as:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure.
  • Email and message delivery.
  • Authentication and security.
  • Analytics and website performance.
  • Content review and moderation.
  • Payment processing, when applicable.
  • Technical maintenance and customer support.

These providers may process information as necessary to perform services for Zamda, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

4.3 Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, investigate suspected fraud, protect users, or defend legal rights.

4.4 Business Transactions

If Zamda undergoes a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of assets, relevant information may be disclosed or transferred as permitted by law and subject to applicable privacy obligations.

4.5 With Your Direction

We may disclose information when you request or authorize a particular disclosure.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Zamda uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and understand how visitors use the Platform.

These technologies may help us:

  • Maintain account sessions.
  • Remember preferences.
  • Support security features.
  • Measure website traffic and performance.
  • Identify and address technical problems.

We may use third-party analytics services, including Google Analytics.

You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Browser-based “Do Not Track” preferences do not necessarily disable cookies or analytics. Any legally applicable opt-out preference signals must be handled according to the requirements that apply to Zamda.

Additional information about data practices and choices associated with Google services is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Advertising and Marketing

Zamda may send service announcements, account-related messages, and promotional communications.

Users can manage available notification and marketing preferences through their account settings.

Where required by law, promotional emails will also provide an appropriate unsubscribe method.

Opting out of marketing does not necessarily stop essential account, security, or service-related communications.

If Zamda uses advertising or tracking technologies that constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable privacy law, additional disclosures and opt-out mechanisms may be required.

We will assess applicable requirements based on the technologies and data practices actually used by the Platform.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.

Retention depends on the nature of the information and the reasons for processing it.

Relevant considerations include:

  • Whether an account remains active.
  • Whether information is necessary to provide the Platform.
  • Applicable legal and recordkeeping obligations.
  • Fraud prevention and security requirements.
  • Pending complaints, disputes, or legal proceedings.
  • Technical backup and recovery procedures.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted or de-identified according to applicable retention procedures.

Some information may need to be retained after an account closes where permitted or required by law.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Request information about personal data collected or processed.
  • Access certain personal information.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion, subject to lawful exceptions.
  • Request a copy of certain information.
  • Opt out of certain data sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or other processing where applicable.
  • Exercise applicable rights without unlawful discrimination or retaliation.

You may also update information through available account settings. To submit a privacy request, contact:

support@zamda.net

Please include enough information for us to understand your request. Do not email passwords, verification codes, or sensitive identity documents unless specifically instructed through a secure process.

We may need to verify your identity or authority before processing certain requests. We will respond according to applicable legal requirements.

9. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under California privacy laws.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to Zamda, eligible residents may have rights relating to access, deletion, correction, portability, certain uses of sensitive personal information, and opting out of qualifying sales or sharing of personal information.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on applicable law and relevant exceptions.

To inquire about or exercise applicable rights, contact support@zamda.net.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

10. Children's Privacy

Zamda is intended for adults.

Users must be at least 18 years old to register for an account or independently use transactional features of the Platform.

Zamda is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances requiring action under applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the matter, including deletion where required.

If you believe a child has provided personal information in violation of these rules, please contact support@zamda.net.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable steps intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Security measures may include access controls, authentication, protected communications, and other administrative or technical safeguards appropriate to the Platform.

No internet service or electronic storage system can guarantee complete security.

Users should protect their login credentials, choose strong passwords, and report suspected unauthorized account activity.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Zamda may contain links to independent websites or third-party services.

Those services may have their own privacy policies and data practices.

We encourage users to review the policies of third parties before providing personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to Zamda's own processing activities and does not automatically govern independently operated websites or services.

13. International Access

Zamda is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for users in the United States.

Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

When applicable law imposes requirements on international transfers of personal information, those requirements must be addressed.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the effective date and provide additional notice where required by law.

The current version will be available on our website.
