- Information about fraudulent or criminal activity related to your account
The list below sets out the types of personal information we collect about you and how we use that information.
- Contact and profile information. When you register for our service, join our mailing list, participate in an offer, enter a contest, redeem a promotion, or engage in any other communication or interaction with us, we may collect personal information from you, including your name, phone number, address, business information, and email address. In order to create your account, answer any questions, resolve problems, or address concerns you or other users may have with the Service, as well as to send you marketing communications based on your preferences, we will utilize your contact information.
- Comments, chat and opinions. We will maintain a record of your feedback and opinions when you get in touch with us directly—for example, via email, phone, mail, filling out an online form, or taking part in online live chat or automated chat. Additionally, when you participate in our campaigns, sweepstakes, or surveys, we’ll keep track of the remarks and viewpoints you share. In order to respond to your queries, problems, and concerns and enhance our goods and services, we will consider the feedback you provide. In addition, we could use your comments and suggestions to identify goods and services that you would find interesting and to send you marketing messages in line with your preferences.

GPS, WiFi, wireless network triangulation, and other techniques may be used by us and our third-party partners to collect location data. Based on your IP address, we might also be able to determine where you are. In addition to helping us with analytics like foot traffic measurement, we use your location information to deliver personalized content and advertising, improve your shopping experience, and increase the efficacy of our websites, branches, mobile applications, products, advertising, and customer service. Additionally, we may use your location data to notify you via social media about upcoming events like trade exhibitions, offer you customized deals on goods, services, or other opportunities, and more.

Examples of these interactions include when you like us on Facebook, follow Yazanz, or share Yazanz content on Facebook, X (f/k/a Twitter [SP2]), Snapchat, LinkedIn, Instagram, or other websites. We utilize this data to get in touch with you on the social network, to learn more about the demographics of our users, and to customize advertisements and content. Your social network privacy settings determine what information we get. Before linking to or connecting from a third-party website or social media network to our website or service, you should always check and, if required, change your privacy settings on such websites.
- Information we receive from authentication services you connect to our Service. You might be able to log in to some sections of our service using a third-party social network or authentication service, like Facebook or Google. These services will verify your identification and enable you the choice to give us access to some personal data, such as your name, email address, contacts list, and address book. The third party’s policies and your privacy settings on that third party website determine what data we get. We’ll use this data to verify your Yazanz account, deliver services, stay in touch with you, and conduct marketing and advertising campaigns.
- Information provided by third parties. We may collect information about you from other users and third parties. For example, we might get information from other members of your company or organization or from our suppliers, resellers, marketing partners, and other business partners.

In order to adapt content for your location, we might, for instance, collect mailing address information or collaborate with other partners to identify your location based on your IP address. Publicly accessible information about you might potentially be collected by us. We can combine this data with the personal information we get straight from you. We use your data to get in touch with you, send you marketing or promotional materials, customize our services, pre-fill web forms, and learn more about the demographics of our users.
- Information about fraudulent or criminal activity relating to your account. To identify and stop fraud or abuse, we can collect information about illegal or fraudulent activities connected to your account and the usage of our services.

We will also use this data to reply to your messages via social media, phone, email, online chat, and SMS text messages. Finally, we will use this data to monitor and enhance our Service and business, as well as assist us in creating new products and services (including by developing and improving automated tools leveraging AI).

In order to improve or personalize your experience, better understand user demographics and behavior on our service, assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, monitor reporting, referrals and attribution, and related activities, we may also use third-party services to gather information about your browser, device, or online activity on our Service.
User Experience Information
On some of our Services, we use third party tools and technologies to monitor user experience information. These tools automatically collect usage information, including mouse clicks and movements, page scrolling and any text keyed into website forms and other browsing, search or purchasing behavior. These tools may also record information you enter when you interact with our Services or engage in chat features through our Service. The information collected does not include passwords, payment details, or other sensitive personal data. We use this information for site analytics, optimization and to improve website usability. We do not permit this information to be shared with or used by third parties for their own purposes.
Interest Based Advertising
We participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the site, and other information about how you engage with our Service, such as information you provide, items you search for, items you click, videos you watch, and similar browsing or usage activity. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with our third party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research
Cross-Device Linking
We, or our third party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We do this by collecting information about each device you use when you are logged in to our Service. We may also work with third party partners who employ tracking technologies, or the application of statistical modeling tools, to determine if two or more devices are linked to a single user or household. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with third party advertising partners to help recognize you across devices. Our partners may combine this information with information they collect directly or receive from other partners, both online and offline, so that they may recognize your device across different channels and platforms, including computers, mobile devices, and smart TVs. We, and our partners, can use this cross-device linkage to serve interest-based advertising and other personalized content to you across your devices and advertising channels, to perform analytics, and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.

We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, X (f/k/a Twitter), LinkedIn, and others. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our Service while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform.
