Privacy Policy

ZFT Advancements ("Company," "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 visit our website zftadvancements.com or engage with our services.

Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our site.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Contact us via email or our contact form
• Request a service engagement or proposal
• Subscribe to communications from us

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, and the content of your messages.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL
• Device type and operating system

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
• Communicate with you about projects, proposals, and engagements
• Improve and maintain our website
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations
• Protect against fraud or other harmful activity

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Communications and SMS

If you provide your phone number and consent to receive text messages from us — for example, through our SMS opt-in form or when enabling text-message two-factor authentication on your account — we may send you one-time verification codes to confirm your identity and account and service update notifications. These are transactional and informational messages only; we do not send marketing or promotional text messages. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply.

When you opt in or opt out, we record your phone number, the consent language shown to you (for opt-ins), the date and time, your IP address, and your browser or device identifier. We retain these records as proof of consent for at least four years after your most recent text-message interaction with us, as required to demonstrate compliance with telecommunications regulations.

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, by using the opt-out form on our SMS page, or by contacting us at the address below. Reply HELP to any message for assistance. Opting out also stops verification codes by text, so if your account relies on text-message two-factor authentication you should switch to another verification method first.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We use a messaging service provider solely to transmit the messages you have requested. That provider processes your number only to deliver those messages and may not use it for any other purpose.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information in limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred.
• Protection of Rights: To protect the rights, property, and safety of our company, our clients, or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. SMS consent records are retained as described in Section 3.

6. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of certain uses of your information

To exercise these rights, contact us at the information below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
