At zMart, ensuring the security and confidentiality of customer data is fundamental to our operations. This Customer Data Security Policy outlines the comprehensive measures we employ to safeguard your information, reflecting our commitment to user trust and satisfaction.
1. Scope of Policy
This policy applies to all personal and transactional data collected through zMart’s website, mobile applications, and services. It includes data processed directly by zMart and indirectly by authorized third-party vendors or service providers.
2. Data Protection Principles
We adhere to globally recognized standards for data protection, focusing on:
2.1 Confidentiality
