6. Retention of Personal Data
ZT Systems retains Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide the products and fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary significantly. Retention periods are often determined by mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.
7. Anonymous Information
We may use Anonymous Information (defined below) or disclose it to third party service providers, to provide, improve and develop our Site, products and services, including to analyze trends and gather demographic information. “Anonymous Information” means information which does not enable identification of an individual user, such as aggregated information, about use of the Site and our services.
8. Your Rights
As a controller of the Personal Data collected by or through the Site, we take steps to help ensure that you are able to exercise your rights regarding Personal Data about you in accordance with applicable law.
If you would like to access, amend, erase, export (i.e., data portability), or object to, or restrict the processing of Personal Data collected via the Site, you may submit a request to [email protected]. We will promptly review all such requests in accordance with applicable laws
Depending on where you live, you may have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or other regulatory agency if you believe that we have violated any of the rights concerning Personal Data about you.

9. Data Security
The security of Personal Data is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 18. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Data from anyone we know to be under 18 years of age.

ZT Systems does not track Site users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party web sites or online services.
