Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 25, 2026
At ZANQARA, we are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how ZANQARA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit and interact with ZANQARA.ca or ZANQARA.com (collectively, the “Platforms”), correspond with us via email, or purchase our small-batch cosmetic formulations.
By interacting with our Platforms, subscribing to our communications, or finalizing a purchase, you explicitly consent to the data practices described in this policy. This Privacy Policy is structured to maintain full compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada, the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) of Ontario, and relevant cross-border e-commerce data protection standards.
1. Information We Collect
To fulfill your artisanal orders and provide a highly personalized cosmetic customer service experience, we collect specific categories of personal information:
-
Contact Identifiers: Your legal name, shipping address, billing address, active email address, and phone number.
-
Financial Transaction Data: Credit card numbers, expiration dates, and secure tokenized payment details. (Please note that all payment processing is handled securely via encrypted third-party gateways; ZANQARA never stores raw or unencrypted credit card data on our internal servers).
-
Order and Account Profile Details: Your purchase history, custom skin profiles gathered during voluntary consultations, specific batch preferences, and communication logs with our customer care team.
-
Technical and Device Data: IP addresses, browser types, cookie identifiers, and analytical data regarding your movement through our digital platforms to optimize website functionality.
2. How We Use Your Information
-
ZANQARA utilizes your personal data strictly to uphold our commitment to product freshness, service integrity, and operational transparency. We process your data for the following lawful purposes:
-
Order Fulfillment and Artisanal Processing: To securely process payments, compound fresh small batches matching your order, print accurate shipping labels, and hand-package your merchandise.
-
Tracked Carrier Coordination: To provide your contact information to trusted courier networks (such as UPS) so they can successfully execute physical deliveries, provide automated transit updates, or coordinate regional customs and brokerage clearances.
-
Dedicated Customer Support: To provide personalized, direct support via our live human help lines, address order discrepancies, manage voluntary skin consultations, and handle regulatory tracking.
-
Legal and Regulatory Compliance: To maintain accurate transactional logs for tax purposes, defend our business against fraudulent payment chargebacks, and strictly monitor health-related feedback or serious adverse events in compliance with Health Canada and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA).
3. Data Sharing and Minimization
ZANQARA holds the highest standards of professional integrity. We explicitly promise that we do not sell, rent, trade, lease, or maliciously distribute your personal information to third-party marketing firms, data brokers, or external corporations. Your data is shared exclusively with a restricted network of trusted service providers strictly necessary to complete your transactions:
-
Payment Processing Gateways: Encrypted banking networks and merchant processors (such as Shopify Payments or Stripe) to authenticate and secure credit card checkouts.
-
Logistics and Delivery Networks: Tracked third-party courier services (such as UPS) to generate transport matrices and complete doorstep deliveries.
-
Internal Compliance and Security: Legal counsel, corporate accounting networks, and regulatory compliance teams in the event of formal audits, federal reporting timelines, or fraudulent chargeback disputes.
4. Cookies and Digital Tracking
Our platforms use cookies and standard tracking pixels to maintain a seamless shopping experience, remember items in your cart, and analyze web traffic patterns. You retain the absolute right to modify your personal web browser settings to decline cookies; however, doing so may limit your ability to finalize transactions or access your secure account profile.
5. Security Measures and Encryption
To preserve data integrity, ZANQARA platforms utilize Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocols during all checkout and data entry processes. While no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure, we enforce rigorous operational, digital, and physical safety barriers at our manufacturing and administrative facility to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your personal profile.
6. Data Retention and Access Rights
ZANQARA retains your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill corporate service agreements, satisfy tax obligations, protect against financial fraud, or comply with federal cosmetic tracking laws. Under Canadian privacy legislation, you retain the absolute right to request a formal copy of the personal information we hold on file for you, request corrections to inaccurate data strings, or request the permanent deletion of your account profile (provided it does not conflict with active transaction fulfillment or mandatory regulatory tracking laws). To exercise these rights, please submit a written request to INFO@ZANQARA.COM.
7. Revisions to This Privacy Policy
ZANQARA reserves the right to periodically amend this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in local data legislation, technical updates, or manufacturing compliance protocols. Any updates will be published instantly on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage clients to review this text occasionally to stay fully informed on how we guard your data.
