PrivacyPolicy.

Vzode is a digital marketing agency located at 44/3, Lake Road, Thalangama South, Akuregoda, Battaramulla, Sri Lanka. We operate the website vzode.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors of our website and to clients who engage our services.

Information you give us. When you fill in our contact form, request a quote, or communicate with us, we collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, business name, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use cookies and analytics tools (including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics) that collect technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, time on site, and how you found us.

Client project information. When you engage our services, we may handle business information, branding assets, account credentials, and — where relevant to your project — data about your customers, which we process only on your instructions.

• To respond to you — answering enquiries, preparing quotes, and communicating about projects.
• To deliver services — designing, building, publishing, and managing the work you've engaged us for.
• To invoice and keep records — billing, accounting, and legal compliance.
• To improve our website — understanding how visitors use vzode.com so we can make it better.
• To market our services — only where permitted, such as sending updates you've opted in to, or showcasing completed projects in our portfolio with your consent.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality and analytics. These include Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, and may include social media tools (such as Meta and Pinterest tags) that help us measure the performance of our content and campaigns.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of Google Analytics using Google's opt-out browser add-on. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

We share personal information only with:

• Service providers we use to run our business — such as hosting providers, email services, analytics providers, and payment processors — who may only use it to provide services to us.
• Platforms used in your project — for example WordPress hosting, Meta, Google, or ad platforms — where necessary to deliver the work you've engaged us for.
• Legal authorities — where required by law or to protect our rights, clients, or others.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy: enquiry data while we correspond with you, and client records for the duration of our engagement plus the period required for accounting, tax, and legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information — including secure hosting, access controls, and careful handling of client credentials. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data and will inform you of any breach affecting you as required by law.

Subject to applicable law — including Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022 and, for clients in other regions, laws such as the GDPR — you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Ask us to delete your information, where we have no lawful reason to keep it.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@vzode.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.

Our website and content may link to external sites and platforms — such as Facebook, YouTube, and client websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page with its "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted on our website.
