Zenith Digital ("Zenith," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, interact with our services, or participate in our publisher or advertiser network.
1. Overview
Zenith Digital operates a performance media network that provides monetization, search arbitrage, and lead generation services. We act as a data controller for information collected directly through our website and as a data processor or joint controller in certain partnership contexts (for example, when routing traffic to search partners such as Google, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo).
This policy applies to zenithdigital.net and to any Zenith-operated landing page, dashboard, or API endpoint that links to this policy.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Contact and account data — name, email, company, role, and any message content you submit through our forms.
- Publisher and advertiser onboarding data — business details, tax and payment information, traffic sources, and compliance documentation required to enter the network.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device and connection data — IP address, user agent, operating system, device type, browser language, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Usage data — pages viewed, referrers, click and scroll events, session duration, and other standard analytics signals.
- Advertising and attribution data — click IDs, campaign parameters, conversion pixels, and similar identifiers used to measure performance.
2.3 Information from third parties
We may receive information from publishers, advertisers, search network partners, verification providers, and fraud-prevention vendors — for example, to validate a lead, score traffic quality, or reconcile payments.
3. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, secure, and improve our website, dashboards, and APIs.
- Route traffic and deliver leads to the appropriate advertiser, network, or search partner.
- Measure campaign performance, verify conversions, and reconcile payouts.
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, invalid traffic, and policy violations.
- Communicate with you about your account, network participation, or support requests.
- Comply with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, and anti-money-laundering rules.
Our legal bases under the GDPR include performance of a contract, legitimate interests (operating and improving a performance network, preventing fraud), legal obligation, and — where required — your consent.
4. Sharing and disclosure
We share information only as described below:
- Network partners — publishers, advertisers, and authorized search network partners (including Google, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo) receive the information needed to deliver, measure, and bill for services.
- Service providers — hosting, analytics, fraud detection, email, and payment providers acting under contractual confidentiality and data-protection terms.
- Legal and safety — we may disclose information to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Zenith, our partners, or the public.
- Corporate transactions — if Zenith is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred subject to the receiving party honoring this policy.
We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. Certain sharing activities with advertising partners may qualify as "sharing" or "selling" under U.S. state laws; see Section 7 for opt-out rights.
5. Advertising and search network partners
As an authorized channel partner of Google, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo, we operate under each network's applicable policies and data-protection requirements. When traffic is routed to a partner search feed or advertiser endpoint, the partner may collect information directly (for example, IP address, user agent, and click parameters) under their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any partner whose ad you interact with.
6. Cookies and tracking technologies
We and our partners use cookies, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies to measure performance, attribute conversions, and detect fraud. For a detailed breakdown, please see our Cookie Policy.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
- Object to, or restrict, certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Port your information to another controller.
- Opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under U.S. state laws (e.g., CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA).
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (EU/UK residents).
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@zenithdigital.net. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
8. Data security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include encryption in transit, access controls, logging, and periodic security review. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Data retention
We retain information only as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data type; for example, billing records are typically retained for seven years to satisfy tax and accounting requirements, while marketing contact data may be deleted sooner on request.
10. Children's privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. International transfers
We may transfer information to, and process it in, countries other than the one in which it was originally collected, including the United States. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms to protect the information.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our services after changes take effect indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
