Privacy Policy

Last updated on October 7th, 2024

Zing is a tool for you to use with your own data. We don't keep your data for any purpose aside from providing you with a fast, efficient, beautiful way to ask questions and collaborate with colleagues. We may temporarily cache results for performance optimizations (make the service faster for you) or to debug issues with our services.

This Privacy Policy outlines how Zing uses personal information we collect and receive about you.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

Zing collects personal information to provide our service to you. This personal information is collected through a variety of ways. You provide some information directly to us; we receive some information when you visit our website or use our products and services; and we receive some information from third parties (such as Google or Apple when you download our app). The types of information can include:

Contact information. Name, employer, title, email address, physical address, phone number, and similar contact info, user names and passwords.

Payment and financial information. Credit card number, banking information and billing address if provided as part of a paid plan.

Usage, inferred and derived information. Data such as how you use our products and services, account information, logins, passwords, support queries, and purchase history.

Website and app data. When you visit our website or use our app, we may collect online and technical information from your computer or mobile device, such as browser; Internet Protocol (IP) address and geographic areas derived from your IP address; api calls; attempted logins, access logs and metadata.

Product-related data. When you use Zing, we collect technical information about your computer or mobile device (such as device type, operating system type and version, and identifiers that help us recognize your device and validate that you are an authenticated user), and details about which of our products and product versions you are using. We also collect data about specific features within our products and services that you use, such as the types of data sources you query, the types of visualizations you build, the number of steps in a flow, the queries you submit (including natural language queries), hardware information, and conversations you contribute to.

We may use information we have collected about you and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, and we may deliver product updates and improvement information back to you based on this data. Zing allows you to sign in with Google SSO, and access Google User Data (such as Drive / Sheets). No Google User data is used for targeted advertising.

Third party data. If you connect with third party logins (such as Google Single Sign On or Okta), we may receive information about your accounts, for example, your name, user name or display name, public profile, and email address. We may combine information you provide with data we collect automatically and with data we receive from third parties.

If you decline to provide your personal information or ask us to delete it, we may be unable to continue to provide or support our products or services.

Storage and Security of Your Personal Information

We work to secure your information through encryption, physical security, passwords, and penetration testing. That said, no company can perfectly guarantee perfect security in all instances.

To help protect yourself, use a strong password, do not use the same passwords to access your Zing accounts that you use with other accounts or services, and protect your user names and passwords to help prevent others from accessing your accounts and services.

Information collected by Zing or on our behalf may be stored on your computers, on your mobile devices, or on our servers, and may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored and processed in, the United States and other countries where we or do business.

In certain circumstances we may retain your personal information after you have closed your account. For example:

• We may retain your personal information in order to protect our legal rights, or those of third parties, or to comply with the law;
• We may retain personal information about how you have used our products and services in order to improve and develop our business;
• If you purchase products or services from us, we may retain your personal information for as long as we need to in order to provide you with customer service, or for compliance purposes, for example, in order to comply with our record keeping requirements;
• We may also use and share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data for research, external training and marketing purposes.

Controlling your Personal Information

Our marketing emails permit you to opt-out of receiving further marketing emails. You may also contact us at support@getzingdata.com at any time to let us know that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails. If you opt out but are a current user, we will still send you transactional emails when you create an account, reset your password, when we suspect unauthorized activity and other information.
