-## Personal Data Use and Processing Grounds
+## Retention
-The "Our Commercial or Business Purposes for Collecting Personal Data" section above explains how we use your Personal Data.
+We keep personal data as long as necessary to provide, maintain, and secure our websites, products, and services. We take measures to avoid retaining data we don't need - for example, we don't store source code proxied during collaboration sessions, or audio, video, and screen contents from calls.
-We will only process your Personal Data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Lawful bases for processing include consent, contractual necessity and our "legitimate interests" or the legitimate interest of others, as further described below.
+When you request deletion, we take measures to delete your personal data or anonymize it, unless we're legally required to retain it. We determine retention periods based on the type of service, our relationship with you, legal requirements, and applicable statutes of limitations.
-- Contractual Necessity: We process the following categories of Personal Data as a matter of "contractual necessity", meaning that we need to process the data to perform under our End User Terms with you, which enables us to provide you with the Services. When we process data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such Personal Data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such data.
- - Profile or Contact Data
- - Payment Data
-- Legitimate Interest: We process the following categories of Personal Data when we believe it furthers the legitimate interest of us or third parties:
- - Device/IP Data
- - Web Analytics
- - We may also de-identify or anonymize Personal Data to further our legitimate interests.
-- Examples of these legitimate interests include (as described in more detail above):
- - Providing, customizing and improving the Services.
- - Marketing the Services.
- - Corresponding with you.
- - Meeting legal requirements and enforcing legal terms.
- - Completing corporate transactions.
-- Consent: In some cases, we process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data.
- - Other Processing Grounds: From time to time we may also need to process Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation, if it is necessary to protect the interests of you or other data subjects, or if it is necessary in the public interest.
+## Security
-## Sharing Personal Data
+Designing Zed and our Service with “secure-by-default” as an objective is of utmost importance to us. We take your security and ours very seriously and strive to follow industry best-practice in order to uphold that principle.  To learn more about Zed’s security program, please visit [https://zed.dev/docs/ai/privacy-and-security](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/privacy-and-security).
-The "How We Share Your Personal Data" section above details how we share your Personal Data with third parties.
+Zed will notify users as soon as possible should an incident affect their security or privacy. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of data can be proven entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your data.
-## EU Data Subject Rights
+## Children’s Privacy
-For more information about these EU or UK personal data terms and your rights related thereto, or to submit a request for information, please email us at hi@zed.dev. Please note that in some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, such as if it is frivolous or impractical, if it jeopardizes the rights of others, or if it is not required by law, but, in those circumstances, we are committed to respond to notify you of such a decision regardless. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.
+We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal data from children under 18 years of age, and no part of our websites, products, or services is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal data in violation of this Privacy Policy, alert us at [privacy@zed.dev](mailto:privacy@zed.dev).
-- Access: You can request more information about the Personal Data we hold about you and request a copy of such Personal Data. You can also access certain of your Personal Data by logging on to your account.
-- Rectification: If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data. You can also correct some of this information directly by logging on to your account.
-- Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Data from our systems.
-- Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your Personal Data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Services.
-- Portability: You can ask for a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where technically feasible.
-- Objection: You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use or disclosure of your Personal Data for certain purposes, such as for direct marketing purposes.
-- Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to restrict further processing of your Personal Data.
-- Right to File Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint about Company's practices with respect to your Personal Data with the supervisory authority of your country or EU Member State. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: [https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en](https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en)
