We also collect non-personal information like your IP address and browsing activity through cookies or tracking technologies. This helps us analyse trends, improve our content and services, and gather statistical data. Since this data does not identify you personally, it is not covered by privacy laws and may be used for any purpose.

Data Management & Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information through security measures such as firewalls and secure access controls.
However, the internet is not 100% secure. Submitting personal information online or via mail is at your own risk. Zoom Chronicle is not responsible for breaches outside of its control or for the practices of third-party platforms or partners.
If you suspect misuse or unauthorised access to your information, please notify us immediately.
Access & Updates to Your Information
You have the right to access and update your personal information, subject to exceptions under applicable privacy laws. We may require identity verification and may charge a small fee to process access requests.
Registered users can usually update their details directly through their account dashboard.
We encourage you to keep your information current to ensure we provide the best service possible.
