Privacy Policy

ZhaoZhaoYing GEO (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the ZhaoZhaoYing GEO platform (the “Service”), a generative engine optimization (“GEO”) workbench that helps users research, create, optimize, and distribute content for AI-powered search engines and other generative discovery surfaces. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

Account information

When you register for or use the Service, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, role, and a hashed password. We may also store preferences and settings you choose.

Project and content data

We store the material you create and manage inside your GEO projects, including keywords, search queries, questions, facts, assets, drafts, competitor research, publishing configurations, and related files.

Connected accounts

If you connect third-party accounts such as Wikipedia, Facebook, or other publishing platforms, we collect the credentials, OAuth tokens, and account identifiers needed to publish or verify content on your behalf, together with the basic account metadata those providers return to us.

Location and geographic data

Because GEO work frequently involves geo-targeted research, we may process locations, regions, market names, coordinates, and other geographic signals that you provide or that our tools surface, in order to generate localized content and measure visibility in specific markets.

Public web and search data

We may collect publicly available information from websites, search results, and AI-generated answers to help analyze your visibility, competitors, and content opportunities.

Technical and usage data

We automatically collect device and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, and log data. We may use cookies and similar technologies as described below.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• Generate, optimize, and publish GEO content;
• Process and manage your projects, tasks, and connected accounts;
• Respond to your requests and provide support;
• Detect security incidents and protect against fraud, abuse, and misuse;
• Send service, administrative, and security communications; and
• Comply with our legal obligations.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases: performing our contract with you, pursuing our legitimate interests (such as improving and securing the Service), your consent where required, and complying with legal obligations.

4. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers that help us host, analyze, and operate the Service;
• With third-party AI, search, and publishing APIs that you configure or that the Service integrates with;
• With publishing platforms when you authorize us to publish content on your behalf;
• Where required by law, regulation, or legal process; and
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or our company.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. International Data Transfers

Information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the country where you live. When we do so, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and then delete or anonymize it unless a longer retention period is required by law.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, or under the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
