Zantango Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 6, 2022

At Zantango our mission is to connect Users and Experts, thereby improving people's lives by providing a video-based platform that allows both sides to do this. To do so, we need to collect, use, and share some of your personal information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how Zantango does that and how to exercise the choices and rights you have in your information.

1. The Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all Zantango users, including Users and Experts, and to all Zantango platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the "Zantango Platform"). Please remember that your use of the Zantango Platform is also subject to our Terms of Service.

2. The Information We Collect

When you use the Zantango Platform, we collect the information you provide, usage information, and information about your device. We also collect information about you from other sources like third-party services, and optional programs in which you participate, which we may combine with other information we have about you. Here are the types of information we collect about you:

You may choose to share additional info with us for your User profile, like your photo or saved addresses (e.g., home or work), and set up other preferences (such as your preferred pronouns). We also collect forms of online payment as required.

Expert Information. If you sign up an Expert, we will collect the information you provide in your Sign In, including your area of expertise, your email address and your home area location. In addition, as the site and app move forward, we will collect payment information thatyou provide us, including your bank routing numbers, and tax information.

Communications Between Users and Experts.

For security purposes, we may also monitor or record the contents of phone calls or video chats made through the Zantango Platform, but we will always let you know we are about to do so before the call or chat begins.

Address Book Contacts. You may set your device permissions to grant Zantango access to your contact lists and direct Zantango to access your contact list, for example to help you refer friends to Zantango.

We collect information through the use of "cookies", tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics , SDKs, and other third-party technologies to understand how you navigate through the Zantango Platform and interact with Zantango advertisements, to make your Zantango experience safer, to learn what content is popular, to improve your site experience, to serve you better ads on other sites, and to save your preferences. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the Zantango Platform. You should consult your web browser(s) to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from us, you may miss out on certain features of the Zantango Platform.
