California Privacy Rights
Information for California residents about your rights under the CCPA and CPRA, the categories of data we collect, and how to exercise your rights.
Scope and Applicability
This section applies to California residents and describes your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This supplements but does not replace our main Privacy Policy.
"Personal information" under the CCPA means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to a particular consumer or household. It does not include publicly available information or de-identified/aggregated data.
Zevello, Inc. is a "business" under the CCPA because we collect personal information from California consumers, determine the purposes and means of processing, and meet the applicable revenue or data volume thresholds.
Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information from California consumers:
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Sold? | Shared? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email address, date of birth, device identifiers, IP address | Account creation, authentication, fraud prevention | No | No |
| Personal characteristics | Age, gender identity, sexual orientation (if provided) | Match recommendations, personalisation | No | No |
| Commercial information | Subscription tier, transaction history, payment method type | Billing, customer support | No | No |
| Internet or electronic network activity | Feature usage, session duration, app interactions | Product improvement, analytics | No | Analytics only |
| Geolocation data | Approximate location (city-level) derived from IP or GPS | Showing nearby users, localisation | No | No |
| Profile and user-generated content | Profile photos, bio, interests, messages | Core dating features | No | No |
| Inferences | Compatibility scores, preference predictions | AI matching engine | No | No |
| Sensitive personal information | Sexual orientation, precise geolocation, account credentials | Core service only | No | No |
"Shared" in the table above refers to sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising purposes. We share aggregated, anonymised analytics data with Amplitude and Google Analytics. We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising purposes inside the app.
Your California Privacy Rights
Right to Know (CCPA § 1798.100)
You have the right to request that we disclose: (1) the categories of personal information we have collected about you; (2) the categories of sources from which we collected it; (3) our business or commercial purpose for collecting it; (4) the categories of third parties with whom we share it; and (5) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
Right to Delete (CCPA § 1798.105)
You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g. where retention is required to complete a transaction, detect fraud, comply with a legal obligation, or protect against unlawful activity).
Right to Correct (CPRA)
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the data and the purposes of processing.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing (CCPA § 1798.120)
You have the right to direct us not to sell or share your personal information. Zod does not sell personal information. We do share anonymised analytics data with analytics providers; you can opt out of this via our Cookie Settings page.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information (CPRA)
You have the right to limit our use of sensitive personal information (including sexual orientation and precise geolocation) to the purposes necessary to perform the services you requested. We already limit such use — see our Privacy Policy for details.
Right to Non-Discrimination (CCPA § 1798.125)
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, provide a different level of quality, or suggest you will receive a different level of service as a result of exercising your rights.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Zod does not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary or other consideration. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You do not need to opt out of something we do not do.
We do use analytics tools (Amplitude, Google Analytics) that receive usage data to help us improve the product. This data is anonymised and aggregated before sharing. If you wish to opt out of this analytics sharing, you can do so via our Cookie Settings page.
If our practices ever change such that personal information is sold or shared for advertising, we will update this notice and provide you with a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link.
