Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 10, 2024

Welcome to zController ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website and using our applications. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website [zcontroller.app] (the "Site") and use our mobile and desktop applications.

1. Introduction

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site or use our applications.

2. Data We Collect

We adhere to the principle of data minimization. The zController application and website are designed to function with minimal personal data collection. However, to provide a seamless experience and improve our services, we may process certain types of data.

  • Device Information: We may collect non-personal information about the device you use to access our services, such as the device model, operating system version, screen resolution, and unique device identifiers solely for the purpose of improving app compatibility and troubleshooting technical issues.
  • Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how our app is used (e.g., which controller types are most popular, connection methods used) to guide future development and feature prioritization.
  • Connection Data: When you connect your mobile device to your PC via WiFi, local network IP addresses are used to establish the connection. This data remains on your local network and is not transmitted to our external servers.

3. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our application, website, and infrastructure. These services may have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information. It is advisable to review these policies to understand how your data is handled by these providers.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. This helps us keep the zController application free for all users.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

4. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any personal data we might encounter, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

For the zController application specifically, the communication between your phone and PC happens directly over your local network (LAN) or via USB. We do not intercept, store, or transmit your controller input data to any cloud servers. Your gaming inputs remain private and local to your setup.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that retain your preferences and session information. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site may be limited.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

7. Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. Usage Data for internal analysis purposes is generally retained for a shorter period of time.
