Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 29 July 2026

Zevu (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information when you use the Zevu mobile application, website, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

Zevu is an invitation-only professional network that enables verified members to discover business opportunities, publish deal enquiries, express interest, connect with matched members, and communicate privately.

1. Information We Collect

Account and contact information
When you register or use Zevu, we may collect:

• Full name
• Email address
• Mobile number and country code
• Password in encrypted or hashed form
• Invitation code and invitation details
• Account, approval, and verification status
• Login and account activity

Professional profile information
You may provide:

• Education and years of experience
• Professional summary and business background
• Areas of expertise and sub-expertise

Some professional profile information may be visible to other approved Zevu members. Contact information and additional profile details are generally revealed only when a deal interest is accepted or when required for an enabled networking feature.

Verification information
To establish trust within the network, we may collect:

• Verification documents
• Document type, name, format, and size
• Professional or membership credentials
• Verification status
• Administrative review notes

Verification documents are accessible only to authorised personnel and service providers that require access for verification, security, or legal purposes. They are not displayed publicly to other members.

Please avoid uploading information that is unnecessary for verification.

Deal and enquiry information
When you create or interact with a deal enquiry, we may collect:

• Deal title, category, type, and description
• General location
• Budget range, asking price, and currency
• Supporting files or documents
• Visibility and expiry preferences
• Interests expressed or received
• Acceptance, rejection, and withdrawal activity
• Matches created through accepted interests

Deal enquiries may be displayed without revealing the creator’s full identity until an interest is accepted, depending on the applicable visibility settings.

Communications and safety information
We collect information relating to:

• Private chat messages
• Message timestamps and read status
• Reports submitted about members or content
• Blocked-member records
• Support requests and related communications
• Administrative moderation activity

We may review reported content and relevant account activity when reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, enforce our rules, protect members, or comply with law.

Invitation information
When a member invites another professional, we may collect the invitee’s:

• Name
• Email address or mobile number
• Invitation status and delivery information
• Relationship or referral information supplied by the inviting member

Members must only provide another person’s contact information when they are authorised to do so.

Technical information
When you access the Services, we may automatically receive limited technical information, including:

• Internet Protocol address
• Device, operating system, and application version
• Request timestamps and API activity
• Authentication and session information
• Error, security, and diagnostic logs

Zevu currently does not intentionally collect precise device location, contact-book data, payment-card details, or advertising identifiers unless a future feature clearly requests them and this Policy is updated.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Create, authenticate, and manage accounts
• Validate invitations and approve members
• Verify professional identities and credentials
• Maintain a trusted, invitation-only network
• Display profiles and relevant deal opportunities
• Process deal enquiries and expressions of interest
• Create matches and enable private communications
• Reveal profile and contact information after an interest is accepted
• Deliver invitations and service-related messages
• Provide member support
• Detect fraud, abuse, spam, and security threats
• Investigate reports and enforce network rules
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Services
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

We do not use verification documents for advertising.

3. How Information Is Shared

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

With other members
Limited profile and deal information may be visible to approved members. When an interest is accepted, the matched members may receive access to each other’s additional profile and contact information and may communicate through private chat.

Information you include in a deal description or uploaded deal document may be seen by members who are permitted to access that deal.

With administrators
Authorised Zevu administrators may access account, profile, verification, deal, report, and moderation information to operate the Services and maintain network safety.

With service providers
We may use providers for:

• Application and database hosting
• File storage
• Email delivery
• Real-time messaging
• Security monitoring
• Technical support

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to us and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

For legal and safety purposes
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or a lawful request
• Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, or illegal conduct
• Protect the rights, safety, and property of Zevu, its members, or others
• Enforce our terms and policies
• Respond to an emergency involving a risk of harm

Business transfers
If Zevu is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of assets, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell or rent members’ personal information to third parties for advertising.

4. Information Visibility

Zevu uses controlled visibility to protect members:

• Access is limited to invited and approved members.
• Deal enquiries may initially conceal the owner’s identity.
• Contact information is generally revealed only after an interest is accepted.
• Private messages are visible to chat participants, subject to safety reviews involving reported content.
• Verification documents are not made visible to other members.
• Blocking a member restricts that member’s ability to contact or interact with you through supported features.

No online service can guarantee that another member will not copy or misuse information they are permitted to view. Members should exercise care when sharing confidential, financial, or commercially sensitive information.

5. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These may include access controls, authenticated API access, password hashing, restricted document storage, monitoring, and backups.

Authentication information may be stored securely on your device to keep you signed in. You should protect your device and account credentials and notify us if you suspect unauthorised access.

Although we take reasonable precautions, no electronic storage or transmission system is completely secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Maintain your account and provide the Services
• Preserve deal, match, and communication records
• Complete verification and moderation processes
• Prevent fraud and repeated misuse
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
• Meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements

When information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where reasonably practicable. Some information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained when required for security or legal reasons.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request to:

• Access personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Delete your account and eligible personal information
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Receive information about how your data is processed
• Raise a privacy-related complaint

You can edit certain profile information within the application. For other requests, including account deletion, contact us using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained when permitted or required by law.

8. Account Deletion

You may request account deletion by contacting Zevu support. Deleting the application from your device does not automatically delete your account.

Following a verified request, we will delete or anonymise eligible account information within a reasonable period. Information that must be retained for legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or the protection of other members may be kept for the required period.

9. International Data Transfers

Our service providers or infrastructure may process information outside your state or country. Where applicable, we take reasonable measures intended to ensure that such transfers receive appropriate protection under relevant data-protection laws.

10. Children’s Privacy

Zevu is intended for professionals who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly permit children to create accounts or intentionally collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a person under 18 has provided information to Zevu, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may include links to third-party websites or documents. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. You should review their privacy policies before providing information.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, features, or legal obligations change. We will publish the revised Policy and update the “Last Updated” date. When a change is material, we may also provide an in-app notice or another appropriate notification.
