2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you fill out contact forms, request a consultation, sign up for our Services, or communicate with us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, country, and details about your staffing requirements.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect technical information including your IP address, approximate location (country/region), browser type, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other browsing data through cookies and similar technologies.
Third-Party Analytics and Advertising
We use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics and similar tools to help understand how visitors use the Site. These services may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites for analytics and cross-context behavioral advertising purposes (which the California Privacy Rights Act treats as "sharing").

In the ordinary course of providing our B2B Services, we do not intentionally collect categories of "sensitive personal information" as defined under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), such as government-issued identifiers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, contents of mail or messages, genetic data, or biometric data. Account credentials (if you create a portal login) may constitute sensitive personal information; we use these strictly for authentication, never for inferring characteristics about you.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration.We may, however, "share" certain information as defined under the CPRA — specifically, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising via analytics and advertising cookies (see Section 10 for your right to opt out). We may also disclose your information to:
- Service providers who assist us in operating the Site and conducting our business (hosting, analytics, CRM, email, scheduling, payment processing). These providers are bound by contract to use information only for our instructed purposes.
- Remote employees we match with you, limited to information necessary for the engagement.
- Legal authorities when required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or legal process.
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case the acquiring entity will be bound by this Privacy Policy or an equivalent successor policy.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. Cookies fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary — required for the Site to function (authentication, security, load balancing). Cannot be disabled.

- Marketing / advertising — used for cross-context behavioral advertising and remarketing.
You can control non-essential cookies through our cookie banner when you first visit the Site, through your browser settings, or by sending a Global Privacy Control signal (see Section 12). Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site.

When your browser transmits a GPC signal (via the Sec-GPC: 1 HTTP header or equivalent), we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information associated with your browser, including for cross-context behavioral advertising.
You can enable GPC by using a browser or extension that supports it. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.
13. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR or comparable provisions in other jurisdictions.
We may use automated tools to assist with non-binding internal tasks such as candidate-to-role matching suggestions, spam/abuse filtering, and analytics. All decisions that materially affect you (such as which remote employees we shortlist) involve human review by our team.
14. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with applicable legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need your information for these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it. Specific retention periods vary by data category and purpose; you may request details by contacting us at contact@zedtreeo.com.
