  1. Disclosure of Your Information

  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties (collectively, “service providers”) we use to support our business, under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract.

  1. Data Security


Zendar has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate security level for the risk involved. The risk analysis takes into account the risk of infringing against the rights of individuals concerned, the costs for implementation, as well as the type, extent, context and purposes of the data processing.

These measures include:

  • Access to the Company’s IT systems is monitored in order to detect and prevent misuse.
  • Personal information is stored on secure servers behind firewalls.
  • The Company’s security measures are continuously tested, assessed, and reviewed to ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services in connection with the processing, as well as the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.


Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through Communications. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or with respect to any Communications.

  1. How Long is Your Data Stored

ZENDAR WILL NOT RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR LONGER THAN IS ALLOWED UNDER THE APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS OR FOR LONGER THAN IS JUSTIFIED FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT WAS ORIGINALLY COLLECTED. ZENDAR WILL DELETE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN WE NO LONGER NEED IT FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT WAS COLLECTED, UNLESS ZENDAR IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO KEEP DATA FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.


  1. International Data Transfers


Due to shared corporate IT systems, and because of the international nature of our business, personal information collected and processed by Zendar Inc. may be shared with, accessed by, and/or stored with Zendar Inc.’s subsidiaries, Zendar GmbH and Zendar SAS, and their service providers, and/or directly collected by Zendar GmbH and/or Zendar SAS, outside of the United States, including the EEA and UK (and, specifically, within Germany and France). Conversely, personal information collected and processed by Zendar GmbH or Zendar SAS may be shared with, accessed by, and/or stored with Zendar Inc. and its subsidiaries and service providers, outside of the EEA and UK, including the United States of America (and, specifically, within the State of California).

  1. State Privacy Rights

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Utah each provide their state residents with certain rights regarding collection and use of their “personal information” or “personal data” (as defined under applicable state data privacy legislation and collectively referred to as “personal information”).

To the extent applicable and subject to exceptions, residents of these states may have additional rights regarding personal information, including to:

  • Request to opt-out of our use of your sensitive personal information
  • Be free from discrimination related to your exercise of any of your state privacy rights.
