Your choice and options in our data collection, use, and transfer

You may later enable or access those features by providing Zahanat.com with the necessary Personal Information.

Please review each Integrated Service’s terms of use and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting to our Website.

Children as users

Zahanat.com is committed to children’s privacy.

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to Zahanat.com. For that reason, we created certain features designed to help protect Personal Information relating to children who are less than 13 years of age. Zahanat.com does not knowingly permit any person less than 13 years of age to register directly for the Website unless Zahanat.com reasonably believes, that the child’s parent/guardian has consented to such registration and use of the Website. If Zahanat.com learns that Personal Information of persons less than 13 years of age has been collected on the Website without parental consent, then Zahanat.com will take appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has a registered account with the Website without your consent, please alert Zahanat.com at support@zahanat.com and request that Zahanat.com delete that child’s personal information from its systems.

How children may register for and use our Website:

When a child under the age of 13 (“Child User”) requests to register for the Website, Zahanat.com will seek consent from the child’s identified parent or guardian (“Parent”). During the initial registration process, if we detect the User is under the age of 13, we do not retain or use information collected from the Child User except the email address for a Parent.

Restrictions on Child Users:

Zahanat.com attempts to restrict a Child User’s access to certain features that could result in disclosure by the Child User of Personal Information. For example, a Child User is not normally permitted to post public comments on the Website and may only do so with parental consent.

Some other features of the Website may, however, permit a Child User to enter free-form text through which the Child User could enter Personal Information that would be visible to other Users. This may occur, for instance, if a Child User enters personal information in answering an exercise problem or creating other projects on the Website. If you are the Parent of a Child User, please advise your Child User of the risks of posting Personal information on this Website or other online services, and that any information posted may be used by others without restriction.

Your preferences and Account settings

Through your settings, you can choose which communications you receive from us, manage your public information, and set your sharing preferences. However, please note that it may not be possible to make certain information private on zahanat.com, including your name and/or username, profile picture, and other basic information, such as your following relationships. Such information and other information which are set to “public” in your settings, may be used, re-shared or linked to by others at zahanat.com or others across the web, so please use Zahanat.com carefully and manage your account settings regularly. Remember that if you make profile content private, others who already subscribe to or otherwise have the details of such content may still have access to it. Also keep in mind that your contributions and other content added to your profile may include personal information, such as username, which could enable other persons to find you in the Zahanat.com.

To change, customize, or limit access to or sharing of information collected from Facebook or Other Integrated Service, please visit your account settings on that service.

How we maintain data integrity & Security

At Zahanat.com, we only use Personal Information as needed for the purposes for which it was collected or where you have consented to our use of Personal Information relating to you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we store and use is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. If you discover that Personal Information or other data pertaining to you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date, please update your account information or contact us as outlined below.

We are committed to protecting our users’ information. Your password protects your user account, so you should use a unique and strong password, limit access to your computer and browser, and sign off after having used the Zahanat.com. While we take reasonable data protection precautions, no security measures are completely secure, and we do not guarantee the security of user information at any time.
