Information We Collect
2.1Account and Contact Information
When a user registers or signs in, we may collect basic account and contact information such as name, email address, account profile information, inquiry details, communication content, and information submitted through forms, request flows, support messages, or direct communications.
We may ask for a phone number on an optional basis, including to support future communication channels such as WhatsApp if enabled. Users should provide a phone number only if they want to use or receive that type of communication.
If you sign in with Google, we may receive account information made available through Google and Firebase Authentication, such as your name, email address, profile image, authentication identifier, and sign-in status.
2.2Request and Portfolio Information
If you submit a liquidity request or use an authenticated workflow, we may collect request details such as requested amount, timing, current broker, current net liquidation value or NLV, portfolio-related inputs, account type, liquidity objectives, risk or operational notes, and status information generated as the request moves through the workflow.
Users may choose to provide current portfolio information, screenshots, statements, files, or similar materials to support a more accurate calculation or analysis. Providing portfolio materials is optional unless a specific workflow clearly states otherwise.
Uploaded or attached files may include file metadata such as filename, file type, file size, upload time, and storage references. You should not submit passwords, full government identification numbers, payment credentials, private keys, or other highly sensitive information unless specifically requested for a defined purpose.
2.3Technical and Usage Information
When you use the website, we may automatically collect technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, session behavior, approximate location derived from technical signals, timestamps, authentication events, error messages, and interactions with site features.
This information may be collected through server logs, Firebase services, cookies, local storage, analytics tools, embedded media providers, and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Notice.
2.4Information From Service Providers
We may receive information from service providers and platform providers, including Google, Firebase, analytics tools, hosting providers, security tools, communications providers, and future operational vendors.
We may combine information received from service providers with information collected directly from users where appropriate and legally permitted.
How We Use Information
3.1Operate and Secure the Service
We use information to operate the website, provide account access, process sign-in, maintain request workflows, display user-visible request status, generate or review analytical outputs, estimate box spread economics, improve calculation accuracy where portfolio materials are provided, respond to inquiries, troubleshoot issues, maintain records, prevent misuse, secure the service, and enforce our Terms of Use.
3.2Analytics and Improvement
We may use information to understand aggregate website usage, traffic patterns, content engagement, feature performance, reliability, and user experience.
Analytics are used to improve the website and product experience. We do not use analytics data to serve ads, retarget users, build third-party advertising profiles, or sell personal information.
3.3Communications
We may use contact information to respond to questions, send requested materials, provide request-related updates, send service or administrative notices, and communicate about website or product developments.
If we send promotional communications, users may opt out by following any unsubscribe instructions provided or by contacting [email protected]. We may still send non-promotional service, security, legal, or request-related messages.
3.4Legal, Security, and Compliance
We may use information to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, investigate fraud or misuse, protect rights and safety, enforce agreements, maintain backups, preserve evidence, and support security or operational reviews.
Retention and Security
5.1Retention Periods
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, including to operate the website, maintain request workflows, respond to inquiries, provide support, maintain business records, secure the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, sensitivity of the data, user request status, account status, backup cycles, legal requirements, operational needs, and fraud or security considerations.
5.2Deletion and Backups
Users may delete available request information through the website where deletion controls are provided, and may request deletion of data associated with their use of ZeroMargin.loans by contacting [email protected]. This includes requests to delete submitted portfolio materials or request-related information.
We may need to verify identity or account control before acting on a deletion request.
Some information may be retained where reasonably necessary for security, legal, fraud prevention, compliance, backup, dispute, accounting, or operational purposes. Information stored in routine backups may persist until those backups expire or are overwritten in the ordinary course.
5.3Security Measures
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and operational measures designed to protect personal information. Current security practices are described in more detail on our Security page at /legal/security.
No internet transmission, digital service, authentication system, or storage environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure or continuously available. Users submit information and use the website at their own risk.

6.1Access, Correction, and Deletion
Depending on applicable law and your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about personal information we process.

6.2Cookie Controls
Users can control certain data collection through browser settings, Google settings, privacy tools, and other controls described in our Cookie Notice at /legal/cookies-notice.
Blocking some technologies may affect website functionality, sign-in, saved sessions, performance, analytics measurement, or security checks.
6.3Communications Choices
Users may opt out of promotional emails by following unsubscribe instructions where provided or by contacting [email protected].
Opting out of promotional communications does not prevent us from sending non-promotional messages relating to account access, requests, security, legal notices, or service-related matters.
6.4Regional Privacy Rights
Privacy rights may vary by jurisdiction, including rights that may apply under European, United Kingdom, California, or other privacy laws depending on the user's location, the operating entity, and applicable law.
Because ZeroMargin.loans is at an early stage and does not yet identify a separate operating legal entity, jurisdiction-specific workflows may evolve. We will evaluate privacy requests in good faith and respond as required by applicable law.
