This Privacy Policy explains how Zenith Star Media collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit this website, contact us, or interact with our online services. It applies to zenithstarmedia.com/. Individual websites within the Zenith Star Media portfolio may publish their own privacy policies to reflect their specific tools, audiences, and data practices.
1. Who We Are
Zenith Star Media is an independent digital publishing group. For personal information processed through this website, Zenith Star Media acts as the data controller unless another notice states otherwise.
Privacy questions and rights requests can be submitted through our Contact page.
2. Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, organisation, message content, and any other details you choose to include in a contact form, email, partnership enquiry, correction request, or rights request.
Technical information may be collected automatically when you use the website. Depending on the site configuration and your consent choices, this can include IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages visited, dates, times, and interactions with the website.
Cookies and similar technologies may store or access information on your device. More detail is available in our Cookie Policy.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
- operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
- respond to messages, editorial feedback, correction reports, and partnership enquiries;
- investigate misuse, technical problems, fraud, or security incidents;
- understand general website performance and audience behaviour where analytics is enabled;
- manage permissions, attribution, content rights, or legal claims;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms; and
- keep appropriate records of communications and decisions.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use contact details to send unrelated marketing without an appropriate basis or consent.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, processing may rely on:
- consent, such as permission for non-essential cookies or optional communications;
- legitimate interests, including operating a secure publishing website, responding to genuine enquiries, preventing misuse, and improving services in a proportionate way;
- contractual necessity, where information is needed to consider, enter into, or perform an agreement;
- legal obligation, where records or disclosures are required by law; or
- legal claims, where processing is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend rights.
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it for future processing. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing invalid.
5. Cookies, Analytics and Embedded Content
The website may use strictly necessary cookies to provide core functions and remember privacy choices. Analytics, embedded media, advertising, or other non-essential technologies may be used only in accordance with the site’s consent settings and applicable law.
Embedded content from external services can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those providers may collect technical information or use cookies under their own policies. You should review the privacy information supplied by the relevant provider.
6. Sharing Information
Personal information may be shared with trusted service providers that support hosting, security, email, contact forms, backups, analytics, website maintenance, or professional administration. These providers should receive only the information reasonably necessary for their function and process it under appropriate obligations.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect rights or safety, to investigate misuse, in connection with a business reorganisation, or with your direction or consent.
We do not disclose personal information to third parties merely for them to run unrelated marketing campaigns.
7. International Processing
Zenith Star Media serves global audiences and may use service providers operating in different countries. This means personal information can be processed outside the country in which it was collected.
Where required, we seek appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as recognised contractual protections, adequacy arrangements, or other lawful mechanisms. No online transfer or storage system can be guaranteed completely risk-free.
8. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to an enquiry, maintaining security records, managing a relationship, meeting legal obligations, or resolving a dispute.
Retention periods vary by record type. Routine contact messages may be deleted when no longer useful, while contractual, rights, security, or legal records may need to be kept for longer. Backup copies can remain temporarily after information is deleted from active systems.
9. Security
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, software maintenance, secure hosting practices, backups, and minimising the information collected.
Internet transmission is not completely secure. Please avoid sending passwords, payment card details, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a general contact form.
10. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about how your personal data is used. You may also have the right to object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or complain to an appropriate supervisory authority.
Rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Please use the Contact page and describe the right you wish to exercise.
11. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from young children. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so the situation can be reviewed.
12. External Links
Our pages link to external websites that operate independently. Zenith Star Media is not responsible for their privacy practices, security, or content. Review the privacy policy of a third party before submitting information.
13. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when the website, services, legal requirements, or data practices change. The date at the top of the page will be revised for meaningful updates. Material changes may also be highlighted through an appropriate website notice.
