Last Updated: August 24, 2025

Effective Date: 08/07/2025

Welcome to zKYC. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website (https://zkyc.tech/) or interact with our services.

1. Who We Are

zKYC is a privacy-preserving identity verification platform built on Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology. Our mission is to give users control over their personal data while enabling secure and compliant digital identity verification.

2. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide
We do not require users to submit personally identifiable information (PII) to browse our website. However, we may collect:

  • Email addresses (if you contact us or subscribe to updates)
  • Project or business information (if you apply for early access, partnership, or demo)
b) Automatically Collected Data
We may collect anonymized analytics data to improve our services:
  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Browser type & version
  • Referring site
  • Time and date of visit
  • Pages visited and time spent
This is typically collected using privacy-respecting analytics tools (e.g., Plausible, Simple Analytics, or a self-hosted instance).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information solely to:

  • Respond to your inquiries
  • Improve our website performance and UX
  • Send product updates if you opt-in
  • Evaluate partnership or access requests
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We aim to operate with minimal or no tracking. If cookies are used, they will be:

  • Strictly necessary for website functionality
  • Anonymized analytics cookies (if applicable)
We will display a cookie notice if non-essential cookies are used.

5. Data Storage & Security

All collected data is stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel. We implement best-in-class encryption and access controls. We minimize data retention and delete unnecessary records.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party tools or infrastructure, such as:

  • Email services (e.g., Gmail, Brevo, Mailgun)
  • Analytics providers
  • Cloud storage (with privacy and security compliance)
All third-party providers are vetted for GDPR and security standards.

7. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA / Global Privacy)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to or deletion of your data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Opt-out of communications
To exercise these rights, contact us at info.zkyc@gmail.com.

8. Web3 & Zero-Knowledge Credentials

When using zKYC services, you may generate zkProofs or reusable credentials. These are:

  • Computed locally or in encrypted environments
  • Not stored by us in a personally identifiable form
  • Designed to minimize data exposure and maximize user control
We do not retain raw identity documents unless explicitly required (e.g., during early testing with consent).

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or our services. When we do, we’ll update the “Effective Date” and notify users where appropriate.
