- Exempt from this personal information associated with the accessed device, browser, etc. that is transmitted by the browser on your access and use of the Service, its websites, or resources. Their respective hosting provider(s) may automatically collect and store various information, such as that transmitted by your browser to us, in server log files.
- Though received, such information is never assigned to a particular person for further analysis or linked to other data of a similar kind. Some limitations apply to technical data that may be recorded and analyzed to secure and stabilize the Service against hacker attacks, or with the purpose of establishing and maintaining a connection with a web server, without intervention on your part.
- Users must be aware that any collection or processing of such technical data is done to enable the use of the Service, its websites, or resources, ensure their optimization, as well as for the purpose of intelligence and protection, and if appropriate, may be used in criminal proceedings for identification and civil and criminal proceedings against such users to the maximum extent permitted by law.
- The Zenland app, its websites, and resources may use relevant cookies, which are specific text files stored in a computer system via a browser. Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. The standard uses for cookie files include storage of user preferences, last sessions, and user authentication to ensure a better user experience. More on user rights with regards to cookies are described under "Your Rights".
- Some third-party websites, including Zenland social media channels and community forums and groups, may still require personal information upon which we have no authority on how the data collection, processing, or sharing is executed, and never purposefully request to send any personal information received from you, the User.
- Any information, including personally identifiable information for contact or verification purposes, sent voluntarily by the User without solicitation by us, or on our behalf by the party entitled or specifically authorized by us, must be referred to as "User Submission" and processed and disclosed in accordance with all applicable laws and privacy policies. More about the rules and requirements regarding user submission is outlined in our Terms of Service.
- The data collected such as computer or mobile device information or Service usage data (input form changes, account form changes such as connecting a wallet, errors, etc.) may also be used to detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents and other malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity and protect the rights without limitations to proprietary rights of Zenland and other related third parties.
- Collected data without limitations to technical data, may be used to send technical notices and important news updates, security alerts, support, and administrative messages, and to respond to your questions and comments.
- The information collected as explicit or implied in this Policy, Terms of Service, or other applicable Policies can only be stored for the period necessary for its original purposes, or as required by applicable laws and regulations.

- Also exempt are legal obligations when the available data may be shared with trusted third parties to comply with all applicable laws, and regulations, or when the data disclosure is done to protect the rights, assets, health, and wellbeing, or safety of other Zenland users, or Zenland, its employees, agents, directors, service providers, or partners.
- Whenever critical, collected data, regardless of type or amount, may be shared with a trusted third party to detect, prevent, or address any security or technical issues.
- A specific request for Agent's assistance allows the information that is necessary to resolve a disputable case to be shared with a Zenland agent to guarantee an unbiased resolution of your case. The agents adhere to all applicable terms stated in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to protect the privacy of the case with any identifiable (if any) or non-identifiable information relevant to the case.
- The data collected may also be disclosed whenever is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
- Network transactions requested through the Service by enacting specific smart contract actions and states, including but not limited to contract deployment and execution, will be recorded on the respective blockchain and associated with the applicable contract and wallet IDs as required by such blockchain networks.
