Cero - Privacy Policy (Website & Waitlist)

• Waitlist and contact data - your email address, name, and any referral code or details you provide when you join the waitlist or contact us.
• Marketing preferences - your choices about receiving communications from us.
• Usage, device, and analytics data - IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, referring source, and interactions with the Site, collected via cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
• Communications - messages you send us and our responses.

We do not collect identity documents, biometric data, financial data, or wallet data through the waitlist Site. Those are only collected later, at product onboarding, under a separate notice.

• to operate and manage the waitlist and to notify you about your place and about launch;
• to send you marketing and product-update communications where you have opted in (you can opt out at any time);
• to measure and improve the Site and our marketing campaigns (analytics);
• to protect the Site and prevent fraud or abuse; and
• to comply with applicable law.

We process your data on the basis of: your consent (for example, for marketing communications and non-essential cookies); our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site and communicating with waitlist members; and to comply with legal obligations. Where local law requires consent (for example, for marketing or cookies), we obtain it.

With your consent, we send marketing and product-update communications. These are separate from essential communications about the waitlist. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us at hello@cero.finance. We do not sell your personal data.

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and with your consent advertising and measurement. See our Cookie Policy for details and how to manage them.

We may share your personal data with: service providers that process it on our behalf (for example, email/CRM, hosting, analytics, and advertising-measurement providers) under contracts limiting their use; authorities, where required by law or to protect rights and safety; and a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy. Some providers may be located in other countries, so your data may be transferred cross-border; we take steps to protect it and, where required, obtain your consent.

We retain waitlist data for as long as needed to run the waitlist and communicate with you, and until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe, subject to any legal retention obligations. Analytics data is retained for a limited period.

Depending on where you live, and subject to applicable data-protection law, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal data: to access it; to have it corrected or updated; to have it deleted; to object to or restrict how we process it; to withdraw any consent you have given; and to receive a copy of it in a portable format. These rights are not absolute and apply only to the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction. To exercise any of them, contact us at hello@cero.finance; we will verify your identity and respond within the time required by applicable law. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in your country.

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure.

The Site and waitlist are not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect the personal data of minors.

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, where required, provide notice.
