Privacy Policy
How we collect, use and protect information when you visit this website or contact us.
Last updated:
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how ZAF ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects information when you visit this website, submit an enquiry, or contact us through WhatsApp or email. It is written to be understood, not to hide behind legal language.
We process personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia) and applicable data-protection principles.
2. Information we collect
We collect information in three ways:
- Information you provide directly — for example your name, company, work email, phone or WhatsApp number, and the details of your project when you submit our enquiry form or message us.
- Information collected automatically — technical data such as IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, referring website and approximate location, collected through analytics and advertising technology described below.
- Marketing attribution data — campaign parameters attached to the link you used to reach us (for example UTM parameters and advertising click identifiers), which we store in your browser so we can understand which marketing activity led to your enquiry.
3. Enquiry and lead forms
When you submit the project enquiry form, the information you provide is transmitted securely to our server, validated, and recorded in our customer relationship management (CRM) system so we can respond to you. Attribution data (campaign source, landing page and referrer) is stored with your enquiry so we can measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
We use this information to respond to your enquiry, prepare proposals, and — where you have agreed — keep you informed about relevant services. We do not sell your information.
4. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. This information is aggregated and used to improve the website and our services.
5. Advertising technology (Meta Pixel and Conversions API)
We use the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram). These tools record events such as page views, form submissions ("Lead") and clicks on our WhatsApp button ("Contact").
For Conversions API events sent from our server, certain information — such as your email address and phone number when you submit an enquiry — is hashed (irreversibly transformed) before it is transmitted, together with technical data such as IP address, browser user agent and Meta browser identifiers. Meta uses this information to match events to advertising and to report campaign performance. Meta's use of this data is governed by Meta's own data policy.
Where consent for advertising cookies is required, these tools are only activated after you accept them.
6. Cookies and local storage
The website uses cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:
- Attribution — remembering the campaign that brought you to the site (first and last visit) so an enquiry can be linked to it.
- Advertising measurement — Meta browser identifiers (_fbp, _fbc) used to match events to advertising.
- Consent — remembering your cookie preferences where a consent banner is shown.
- Essential functionality — security and rate-limiting protections on our forms.
7. API integrations and service providers
We use third-party services to operate the website and process enquiries — for example hosting, CRM, email delivery and advertising platforms. These providers process information only for the purpose of providing their service to us, under their own privacy terms. We select providers that apply appropriate security controls.
8. How we handle and protect data
Enquiry data is transmitted using encrypted connections, stored in access-controlled systems, and accessed only by people who need it to respond to you. API credentials used to integrate with third-party systems are kept on the server and are never exposed in the browser.
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, or as required by law, and remove it when it is no longer needed.
9. Your rights and how to contact us
You may request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where we have no legal reason to keep it. You may also withdraw consent to marketing at any time.
To make a request, contact us using the details on our Contact page. We will respond within a reasonable period and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of the page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the website.
