Depending on the context, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under applicable data protection law:

  • Consent — for example, where you consent to non-essential cookies or choose to submit information voluntarily.
  • Legitimate interests — for running and improving the website, responding to enquiries, ensuring security, preventing abuse, and understanding how our content performs, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Legal obligation — where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with the law.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Zalyun Prime may use cookies and similar technologies such as scripts, tags, pixels, local storage, or similar tools.

These may include:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These help the website function properly, such as by supporting security, page loading, consent preferences, and core website features.

B. Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate the site, and how we can improve performance and user experience.

C. Functional Cookies

These may remember user preferences, settings, or other optional features.

D. Advertising Cookies

If we use advertising or monetisation services, including services provided by Google or other third parties, cookies and similar technologies may be used to serve, measure, limit, or personalise advertising, subject to applicable law and consent requirements.

You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. Where legally required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

7. Analytics, Measurement, and Advertising

We may use third-party tools to help us understand traffic and improve the site. These tools may collect information about your device, browser, site activity, and interactions with our content.

Google Services

Zalyun Prime may use Google services such as analytics, tag management, consent tools, advertising tools, or related services. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and process information about how visitors use the site.

If advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this website and/or other websites. Depending on your location and the technologies in use, you may be asked for consent for this activity.

Where applicable, you can manage ad and cookie preferences through our consent tools and your browser settings.

If you contact us directly or through a form, we may collect and keep:

  • your name;
  • your email address;
  • the contents of your message;
  • any attachments or details you provide;
  • related technical information needed to deliver, secure, and manage the communication.

We use this information to respond to you, manage our correspondence, and keep appropriate records of our communications.

Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.

9. Comments and User-Generated Content

If comments are enabled on Zalyun Prime, any information you submit in a comment may be publicly visible, including your chosen display name and the content of your comment.

We may use moderation, anti-spam, security, and abuse-prevention measures to review and manage comments.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove comments that are abusive, unlawful, misleading, spam-related, or otherwise inappropriate.

10. Search, Feeds, and Website Functionality

If you use the site search feature, we may process search terms and related technical information to improve content discovery, website usability, and performance.

If you subscribe to or access RSS feeds, certain technical information may be processed as part of content delivery and feed access.

We may also process technical information required for caching, site speed, uptime, performance, or basic website administration.

11. AI-Assisted Content and Editorial Process

Some articles, drafts, research notes, headlines, outlines, summaries, or editorial workflows on Zalyun Prime may be created, refined, or supported with the help of artificial intelligence tools.

Where AI tools are used, they are used as editorial support tools and not as a substitute for final publishing judgment. We aim to review, edit, fact-check, and shape content before publication.

If you contact us or submit material, please avoid including confidential, highly sensitive, or unnecessary personal information, especially if you do not want it processed through digital editorial tools or service providers.

The use of AI assistance does not change our commitment to editorial responsibility, privacy, and transparency.

12. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary course of running this website.

However, we may share information where necessary with trusted service providers and partners that help us operate the website, such as providers of:

  • website hosting;
  • analytics;
  • tag management;
  • performance optimisation;
  • security and spam prevention;
  • content delivery;
  • email or communication tools;
  • advertising and consent management;
  • website maintenance and development.

We may also disclose information:

  • if required by law;
  • to protect our rights, users, systems, or property;
  • in connection with a business transfer, restructuring, or sale;
  • where you have explicitly asked us to do so.

13. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where international transfers take place, we aim to use providers that offer appropriate safeguards and data protection commitments consistent with applicable law.

14. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

In general:

  • contact enquiries may be kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain business or editorial records;
  • comment-related data may be kept while comments remain published or moderated;
  • analytics and cookie-related data may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the tools we use;
  • technical logs may be kept for security, troubleshooting, and operational reasons for a limited period;
  • we may keep information longer where required for legal, compliance, fraud prevention, or record-keeping reasons.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely retain only what is required by law or legitimate operational need.

15. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located and the laws that apply, you may have rights including the right to:

  • request access to the personal information we hold about you;

Zalyun Prime is a general-interest publication and is not intended to knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us and we will review the matter.
