Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Zeek Maps collects and how we use and protect it. We comply with applicable data protection laws.

Information We Collect

Account Information

Name, email, mailing/billing address, phone number provided when you register or subscribe.

User Content

Any personal data included in your posts, comments, photos, or videos (e.g. a photo’s metadata, profile info). Content you upload is visible to others per your sharing settings.

Device and Usage Data

Technical info like IP address, device type (browser, OS, hardware), and app usage logs (pages visited, timestamps). This is collected automatically to operate the service and analyze trends.

Location Data

With your permission, Zeek Maps collects precise or approximate location (via GPS or network) to provide map-based features. You can disable location in app settings; if you do, location-based features will be limited.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to identify you across sessions and collect analytics. See our Cookies Policy for details.

How We Use Information

We use personal data to:

  • Provide and improve Zeek Maps (display maps, save your data, send notifications)
  • Manage your account and process payments (billing, subscription status)
  • Communicate with you (respond to inquiries, updates, security alerts)
  • Personalize your experience (e.g. show relevant map content based on location)
  • Analyze usage and trends (with analytics tools) to enhance features
  • Comply with legal obligations (retain billing records for tax; respond to lawful requests)
  • With your consent, send marketing (promotions, newsletters). We will not use sensitive data without explicit consent

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data with:

Service Providers

Companies like payment processors, hosting services, or analytics tools who help operate Zeek Maps under contract. For example, we use third-party payment gateways (compliant with PCI standards) and may share payment info with them to process your transactions.

Affiliates

Zeek Labs and its subsidiaries may access data for support and services (subject to privacy obligations).

Legal & Safety

If required by law or to protect rights, we may disclose data (e.g. in response to subpoenas or to prevent harm).

Business Transfers

In case of merger or sale, user data may transfer to the new owner under confidentiality terms.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies for site functionality and analytics. Some cookies are essential (login session), others for performance or advertising. You can control cookies via settings (see Cookies Policy). For “Do Not Track” requests, we do not currently honour these signals.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for its purpose. For instance, account and billing info is kept while your account is active and for legal record-keeping (several years for financial compliance). When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

Children’s Privacy

Zeek Maps is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If we learn we have data of a minor, we will delete it unless parental consent is provided.

International Transfers

Data may be stored in India (Zeek Labs servers) or in countries of third-party providers. If you are in the EEA/UK, this means transfers outside may occur. We use standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards for such transfers.
