Thank you for using Zapex! Are you asking yourself how we handle privacy? We are concerned to ensure that you know how we approach this subject, given that we process your personal data when you use our services. However, we do this responsibly, and we comply with the applicable privacy laws at all times, especially with regard to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Zapex Ltd ("We") are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This policy (together with our terms of use Terms & Conditions and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.
Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
When you use or interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Data. Sometimes this will be on our own behalf and other times this will be on behalf of a Supplier using our Services to run a tour or event. This is an important distinction for EU data protection law purposes and is explained in more detail in Section 16 below.
We may collect and process the following data about you:
Information you provide to us: For all Users we collect Personal Data when you voluntarily provide such information to the Services, such as when you register for access to the Services, contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys or browse or use certain parts of the Services. The Personal Data we may collect includes without limitation your name, address, email address and other information that enables Users to be personally identified.
Information we automatically collect: We also automatically collect certain technical data that is sent to us from the computer, mobile device and/or browser through which you access the Services ("Automatic Data"). Automatic Data, includes without limitation, a unique identifier associated with your access device and/or browser (including, for example, your Internet Protocol (IP) address) characteristics about your access device and/or browser, statistics on your activities on the Services, information about how you came to the Services and data collected through Cookies, Pixel Tags, Local Shared Objects, Web Storage and other similar technologies. You can find out more information about how we use Cookies and other similar tracking technologies in our Cookie Statement.
When you register for the Services or otherwise submit Personal Data to us, we may associate other Non-Personal Data (including Non-Personal Data we collect from third parties) with your Personal Data. At such instance, we will treat any such combined data as your Personal Data until such time as it can no longer be associated with you or used to identify you.
As an Supplier we will collect additional Personal Data from you.
Information you provide to us: In some cases, we may collect your credit card information (e.g., your credit card number and expiration date, billing address, etc.), some of which may constitute Personal Data, to secure certain payments.
In addition, if you use our payment processing services, we will collect financial information from you (e.g., your bank account information or an address to send checks) as necessary to facilitate payments and information required for tax purposes (e.g., your taxpayer identification number).
Information we obtain from other sources: We may also collect or receive Personal Data from third party sources, such as third party websites, your bank, our payment processing partners and credit reporting agencies.
As a Customer, we will collect additional Personal Data from you on behalf of an Organiser.
Information you provide via Zapex: If you register for a paid event, you will provide financial information (e.g., your credit card number and expiration date, billing address, etc.) some of which may constitute Personal Data. In addition, Suppliers can set up event registration pages to collect virtually any information from Consumers in connection with registration for an Organiser's event listed on the Services. Zapex does not control an Supplier's registration process nor the Personal Data that they collect. Personal Data collected on behalf of Suppliers is provided to the Suppliers of the applicable tour in accordance with "How We Disclose and Transfer Your Personal Data: Organisers" below.
Information we obtain from other sources: We may also collect or receive Personal Data from third party sources, such as Organisers, other Consumers, social media or other third party integrations, your credit card issuing bank, our payment processing partners or other third parties.
