Discretion.

Revision 4.0 // 2024Data Protection Officer: DPO@zingora.com GDPR & CCPA COMPLIANT

01. The Invisible Hand

At Zingora, we operate on a "Privacy by Design" architecture. We understand that our members value their public personas as much as their private desires. In the digital age, discretion is the ultimate luxury.

Our commitment is absolute: We do not track you beyond what is strictly necessary to facilitate meaningful connections. We view your data not as an asset to be exploited, but as a trust to be guarded.

02. Information Hierarchy

Identity Data

  • Full Name (Encrypted)
  • Verified Government ID
  • Biometric Facial Hash

Contact Data

  • Verified Email
  • Phone Number
  • Emergency Contact (Optional)

Technical Data

  • IP Address (Hashed)
  • Device Fingerprint
  • Access Logs

Interaction Data

  • Member Preferences
  • Swipe History
  • Neural Matching Weights

03. The Neural Engine

We process your information using proprietary Neural Networks to ensure that your time on Zingora is efficient and safe. This processing occurs under the legal basis of Contractual Necessity and Legitimate Interest.

Safe-Interaction Protocol

Our AI scans communications in real-time to detect predatory behavior, financial scams, or harassment. This analysis is performed on local shards and is never visible to human moderators unless an automated alert is triggered by high-confidence violations.

04. The Vault Architecture

End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)

Your private messages, media, and voice notes are encrypted with the Signal Protocol. Not even Zingora engineers can access the content of your conversations.

Decentralized Sharding

We do not store your profile data in a single centralized database. Information is sharded across multiple secure nodes, ensuring that a single breach cannot reveal a full user identity.

05. Your Sovereign Rights

Regardless of your geographic location, Zingora grants all members global rights equivalent to GDPR standards:

  • Right to Portability: Export your entire data history in a machine-readable JSON format at any time.
  • Right to Erasure: Our "Nuke" feature allows for the permanent, irreversible deletion of your account and all associated shards within 72 hours.
  • Right to Restriction: Temporarily freeze data processing while maintaining account status.

06. Data Lifecycle

07. Stealth Tracking

Zingora does not use advertising cookies. We utilize Essential Telemetry only to ensure app stability and to prevent DDoS attacks. We do not participate in cross-site tracking or pixel-based marketing.

Note: Enabling "Ghost Mode" in settings will further randomize your session metadata.
