Zauq Agency ("we", "us", "our") is a digital design and branding studio operating from the United States and India.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

  • Blog submissions - including article drafts, author names, biographies, and any media you share for publication.
  • Portfolio assets uploaded through our dashboard - including project images, case study files, and testimonials you publish as an administrator.
  • Account credentials - your email and password when you create an account to access the dashboard. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.

  • Respond to your inquiries and prepare proposals or quotes.

  • Review, edit, and publish blog articles and portfolio entries you submit.
  • Communicate with you about projects, invoices, and scheduling.
  • Improve our website, services, and content based on how visitors use them.
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraudulent activity.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate - for example hosting, email delivery, and analytics platforms - and only under contracts that require them to protect your information. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as needed to provide our services and respond to your requests. Contact submissions, quote requests, and blog drafts are retained for up to 24 months after our last interaction, after which they are deleted. Account data is removed when you close your account.

6. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies to keep you signed in and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@zauq.agency and we will respond within 30 days.

8. International Transfers

Because we operate across the United States and India, your information may be processed in either country. We take steps to ensure it is protected to a consistent standard regardless of location.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and role-based access controls. No method is fully secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services evolve. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
