Privacy policy

Last updated:

This policy explains how [Company legal name] ("Zero One Creation", "we"), [Registered address], India, handles personal data in ZOC Campaign. It is written to meet the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

1. Our two roles

  • Processor for your contacts. When you upload contacts and send campaigns, you (our customer) decide why and how that data is used. You are the controller (the "data fiduciary" under the DPDP Act) and we process it only on your instructions. Contacts who want to exercise their rights should contact the sender; we will help the sender respond.
  • Controller for account data. For people who sign up, sign in, pay or contact us, we decide how the data is used and are responsible for it.

2. Data we process

  • Account data: name, email address, workspace and role, sign-in and security records.
  • Billing data: billing name and address, GSTIN, invoices and payment status. Card details are handled by Razorpay, not stored by us.
  • Customer contact data (as processor): email addresses and any fields you upload, plus consent and unsubscribe records.
  • Delivery and engagement events: sends, deliveries, bounces, complaints, opens and clicks, including IP address and user agent where available.
  • Technical data: logs and, if enabled, error reports needed to run and secure the service.

3. Why we use account data

  • To provide the service you signed up for (contract).
  • To bill you and keep tax records (legal obligation).
  • To secure the service, prevent abuse and protect deliverability (legitimate interests).
  • To send product updates you have opted into (consent; you can withdraw at any time).

Under the DPDP Act we rely on your consent or on the legitimate uses the Act allows.

4. Where data is stored

Application data is stored in PostgreSQL and event analytics in ClickHouse, hosted in India (AWS ap-south-1, Mumbai) unless stated otherwise below. Where data is transferred outside India or the EEA we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses.

5. Sub-processors

Everything else an organization stored, after the organization is deleted90 days after the deletionContacts, lists, templates, campaigns, automations, domains, mailbox, files and reports are purged. Billing records and the activity log follow their own periods.
  • Account data: while your account is active, then deleted within [number] days of closure.
  • Other customer contact data: until you delete it or your organization is deleted.
  • Do-not-email records (unsubscribes, hard bounces, complaints): kept permanently, as a one-way code of the address only, so we never email those addresses again on your behalf.
