Privacy Policy for Zero Feed

Zero Feed ("we," "our," or "us") provides a distraction-free digital productivity ecosystem comprising the Zero Feed Chrome Extension, the Zero Feed desktop application and system locker, and the Zero Feed web platform accessible at https://zerofeed.app. Our mission is to empower individuals, students, and professionals to reclaim their attention by suppressing algorithmic feeds, infinite recommendation carousels, and engagement traps on popular websites, including YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and Instagram.

We hold a fundamental belief that your attention and personal browsing data belong exclusively to you. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information Zero Feed processes, the strictly limited circumstances in which data is stored or transmitted, the legal bases governing that processing, your rights under global privacy frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and our responsibilities as platform operators.

Zero Feed is engineered around the principle of strict data minimization. We only handle information necessary to execute our core focus functionality and maintain optional user subscriptions.

We process personal data only where a valid legal basis exists under applicable data protection laws:

1. Contractual Necessity: Processing your email address, authentication credentials, and subscription status to deliver, maintain, and support the Zero Feed services you request.
2. Legitimate Interests: Operating our background synchronizer to verify commitment adherence, maintaining system security, preventing unauthorized bypass of commitments, and preventing fraudulent transactions.
3. Legal Compliance: Fulfilling tax, corporate reporting, and statutory regulatory obligations.
4. Consent: Where you provide explicit consent, such as opting into accountability partner notifications or voluntary customer feedback programs. You may revoke consent at any time.

Zero Feed does not sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal data. We never provide user information to third-party data brokers, advertising networks, or behavioral profiling organizations.

We disclose data only to trusted service infrastructure providers who assist us in operating our platform, subject to strict data processing agreements:

• Cloud Database and Backend Hosting: Supabase Inc., used to host secure user accounts, study pass registries, and Edge Function business logic under enterprise-grade encryption.
• Payment Processing: Certified payment processors (such as Stripe) that securely manage transaction data, billing credentials, and tax records. Zero Feed never stores or sees complete credit card numbers on its servers.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by a valid court order, subpoena, or governmental authority, provided that we give you prompt notice where legally permissible.

Zero Feed's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Limited Use requirements:

Regardless of your geographic location, Zero Feed provides comprehensive control over your personal data:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of all personal data associated with your profile.
• Right to Rectification: You may correct inaccurate or incomplete account details through your dashboard.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten"): You can request the permanent deletion of your account and associated telemetry.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request your commitment records in an industry-standard, machine-readable format.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: You may object to specific data processing operations where processing is based on legitimate interests.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never deny services, charge different rates, or provide a lower quality of service if you exercise any statutory privacy rights.

The founders, maintainers, and operators of Zero Feed are bound by the following governance principles:

• Zero Monopolization of Attention: The platform will never incorporate hidden engagement loops, behavioral hooks, or sponsored feed insertions.
• Transparent Open Development: We commit to documenting our architecture and privacy boundaries in public repositories.
• Security Breach Notification: In the event of a security incident affecting personal user data, operators will notify affected users and supervisory authorities within 72 hours of verification, in accordance with applicable law.

Zero Feed operates globally. Information collected may be transferred to, stored, and processed in cloud data centers located in the United States and the European Union. Whenever data is transferred outside your country of residence, we implement Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and robust technical safeguards to ensure your rights remain protected.

Zero Feed is designed for general audiences and is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain European jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately so we can purge the data.

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements, architectural updates, or regulatory changes. When updates occur, the "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised. Material changes will be accompanied by a prominent notice within the extension dashboard or web application.
