Privacy Notice

ZhuZiHE ("ZhuZiHE", "we", "us") operates the ZHUNO personalized news service and is the data controller for the personal data described in this notice. That means we decide how and why your personal data is processed.

• Account data — name, email address, and login credentials, used to create and secure your account.
• Preference data — your interests, followed topics and companies, reading-time and explanation settings, saves and feedback, used to personalize your news feed and briefings.
• Support messages — anything you send us when you contact support.
• Usage and telemetry — how you interact with the Service, device identifiers, IP address, and approximate location, used for security, fraud prevention, and product improvement.

Payment details are collected and processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle, not by us.

• Providing the Service (account creation, personalization, briefings) — performance of our contract with you.
• Security and fraud prevention — our legitimate interests.
• Product improvement and analytics — our legitimate interests.
• Customer support — performance of contract and legitimate interests.
• Marketing communications — your consent, where required; you can withdraw it at any time.
• Legal obligations — compliance with applicable law.

• Service providers / subprocessors — hosting, analytics, and support tooling providers acting on our instructions.
• Paddle — our Merchant of Record, for the sale of the product, subscription management, payments, tax compliance, and invoicing.
• Professional advisers — legal and accounting advisers, where needed.
• Authorities — where required by law.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes above — for example, account data while your account is active — and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed, subject to legal retention requirements.

Depending on your country, you have rights over your personal data, which may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection to processing, and withdrawal of consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the support channels listed on the ZHUNO website; we respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit and access controls limiting who can view it.

We use essential cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences, and may use analytics cookies to understand product usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may prevent the Service from working correctly.

We may update this notice from time to time and will post the new version on this page. Questions about this notice or your data? Contact us via the support channels listed on the ZHUNO website.
