Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Zcope Systems ("Zcope," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform at zcope.app ("Platform").
This policy applies to all users of the Platform, including creators (account holders who publish content), subscribers (recipients of creator content), and visitors (those who view public pages).
2. Data We Collect
Account Data (Creators): Email address, name, profile information, and brand configuration when you register and set up your account.
Subscriber Data: Email addresses and optional metadata collected through creator forms, scorecards, and signup flows. This data belongs to the creator's brand.
Content Data: Newsletters, scorecard configurations, digital products, and other content you create or upload.
Usage Data: Browser type, IP address, pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns to improve the Platform.
Payment Data: Payment information is processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use collected data to:
- Provide the Service: Host content, deliver emails, process scorecards, and manage subscriber lists
- AI Features: Process content through AI systems for voice profiling, copy suggestions, and content generation when you use these features
- Safety Screening: Content may be processed by automated systems to detect prohibited content as described in our Acceptable Use Policy
- Compliance: Maintain records required by law, including email logs (CAN-SPAM), suppression records, and enforcement audit trails
- Communication: Send service announcements, policy updates, and security alerts
- Improvement: Analyze usage patterns to improve Platform features and performance
4. AI Content Processing
When you use AI-powered features, your content may be processed by third-party AI services (currently Google Gemini). This processing is used to:
- Analyze your writing style for voice profiling
- Generate content suggestions based on your prompts
- Screen text content for safety and policy compliance
- Screen uploaded images using AI-powered visual content analysis to detect content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy
Image screening occurs at the time of upload. We do not retain separate copies of images for screening purposes — the analysis is performed on the image as stored in the Platform. Images that violate our policies may be automatically removed.
We do not sell your content to AI providers. Content is processed solely for the purposes listed above.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: Email delivery (Resend), payment processing (Stripe), hosting (Supabase/AWS) — only as needed to provide the Service
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request
- Mandatory Reporting: We are legally required to report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to NCMEC and may report other illegal content to appropriate authorities
- Safety: To protect the safety of our users, the public, or our Platform
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to affected users)
6. Data Retention
We retain data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. After account termination:
- Account data: Deleted within 30 days of termination request, except as required by law
- Subscriber data: Retained per creator's brand until deleted by creator or required by law
- Compliance records: Email logs, suppression records, and enforcement audit trails are retained for the legally required period (typically 3-7 years)
- CSAM/legal reports: Preserved as required by law (minimum 180 days per REPORT Act)
