These Privacy Policy terms, including our Cookie Policy, apply to your use of our application, website, and services. Any processing of your personal data by UZO or parties commissioned by UZO for data processing (hereinafter referred to as "processors") is carried out in accordance with GDPR, this Policy, and the Terms.

Data We Collect and Process

Most of the data we process is collected directly from you through various forms and interactions on our sites. Some data is generated automatically during the use of our services. If you log in through social networks, you can grant us permission to process additional data from your profile, such as your profile picture.

Data You Provide to Us

During the use of our services, you provide us with information necessary for the operation of your account, such as your name, age (for the purpose of protecting minors from explicit content), gender, and age group.

To complete orders, you can save a delivery address as a template, which you share with merchants when completing transactions. In some cases, we may need passport data or a VAT identification number due to local regulatory requirements.

After creating orders, UZO allows you to manage these orders from your account.

During the use of our services, you can contact our customer support at any time. Your interactions with support agents are monitored and may be retained after resolving your issue for future reference and service improvement.

Data About User Preferences and Behavior

We collect data such as your user ID and UTM tags. When you visit sites with our plugins, ads, or cookies, we obtain information about your visits and interactions with third-party service providers. We also collect data about your country, products you viewed, opened, searched, and purchased, ads you clicked on, and your device, including IP address (if relevant). If you use our mobile app, we collect data on language settings and your advertising ID. We do not determine your exact location unless you provide consent. This information helps us tailor services to your needs.

Order Information

Such data includes information about purchased items, their size and color, delivery details, your contact information, transportation information, last selected pickup location, your email address, and phone number.

Such information may be shared with our partners (both within the EU and in other countries), including merchants, postal companies, and support agents.

Payment Information

When making payments for your orders, you provide us with payment data, such as the cardholder's name and third-party account. We process this data securely and are certified according to PCI-DSS 3.2.1 standards for processing cardholder data. We may also share this data with other authorized parties (both within the EU and in other countries), including payment processors. Most of this data is immediately deleted after necessary processing. The purpose of processing this data is to support your payments, prevent fraud and identity theft, and assist with identity verification.

User-Generated Content

To make UZO more useful, users can rate products, ask and answer questions about products, and use our social features. This information (review, image if you shared it or your social network profile with us, and name) is public and may be searchable through common search engines. We support anonymous product reviews if you wish to remain anonymous for these purposes.

Technical Data Generated by Your Use of Services

To improve services, we collect information about issues users encounter in our applications and websites, as well as anonymized data on hardware and software characteristics and performed actions. This information includes:

• Technical information about the device: hardware model, operating system version, UZO app version, screen dimensions.
• Connection information: IP address, connection time to UZO server, and other technical data.

These data may be shared with processors and other parties for further processing and investigation if necessary.

We also generate certain records related to your use of services, including transaction data, service interactions, etc.
