Information that we may collect
As and when you visit, browse or use Zappar Services we may collect certain Information from you. Some of this Information may be Personal Data and some of the Information may be Anonymous Information. We use your Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Notice.
Below is a list of some of the Information we may collect from you, depending on how you interact with Zappar:
- Information to enable the use of certain features
- Emails sent to Zappar and messages submitted via the Zappar Website
- Zapbox orders
- Competition entries
- Responses to surveys and feedback requests
- User Generated Content
- Information given to us by other companies
- Device information, including location where required for the correct provision of the service, the camera where required for scanning the Accessible QR Code (all used in local mode, no images are sent outside of the mobile device)
- Information relating to your use of the Zappar App, a Zapbox App, the Zapvision App and WebAR
- Log Data – Zappar websites
Use of certain features
You are not required to register with Zappar simply to use one or more Zappar Services.
There are, however, some features of the Zappar Services that may require you either to confirm your country and age (*) and/or opt-in before you can access those features (e.g. photo share, newsletter, zapcode ‘upload feature’). You may be asked to provide certain Information about yourself when doing this. This could be one or more of the following items of Personal Data: your name, your email address, your postcode or zip code, your country of residence, username and password.
* Age information is not stored by us
Emails and other Information submitted to Zappar
If you choose to email or write to Zappar about the Zappar Services, or you fill in an online contact or support request form, we may collect Information about you from the content of your letter, email or other message e.g. your name, your email address, and what you like or dislike about Zappar. If you participate in a competition or promotion, or respond to a survey or feedback request then in addition to your entry or response we may collect your name, email and/or other contact details.
Zapbox Orders
If you order a Zapbox from us we will collect some Information from you to enable us to process your order, e.g. your name, address and other contact details, and details of your transaction history
User Generated Content
Some features of the Zappar Services may allow you to create, submit, post, display, transmit or share content (e.g. photos, videos, comments, messages, and other materials) on or through the Zappar Services (we call this “User Generated Content”). This includes any ‘upload feature’ which is attached to a zapcode published by a third party (i.e. a person other than Zappar). You may find zapcodes printed on third party products or see them within third party services and publications. These codes enable you to unlock digital content on your mobile device by scanning (‘zapping’) the code.
When you use the Zappar App we will only collect and store your User Generated Content, if you choose to share an animated GIF from within an experience, or you upload content to a zapcode. We do not collect or store any photos or videos that you take within an experience, even if you choose to share that content with others.
Some of your User Generated Content may contain personal information about you or other natural persons, e.g. audio, photos or videos featuring you or your friends. We therefore advise you to be selective about what personal information you include in User Generated Content, and not to include any of the following types of personal information in any submission to any publicly available area of the Zappar Services: telephone numbers, physical addresses, full name or any other information of a sensitive nature. If you upload personal information about or depicting other individuals (e.g. a photo of a friend), you must obtain their consent first.
Please be aware that even if you remove personal information that you post to the Zappar Services, copies may still remain in cached and archived pages of the Zappar Services or on another user’s device.
IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU AND NOT ZAPPAR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND CONTROL YOUR USER GENERATED CONTENT. IF YOUR USER GENERATED CONTENT CONTAINS ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OF OTHERS THEN UNLESS YOU ARE DOING THIS AS PART OF A PURELY PERSONAL OR HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITY YOU MAY HAVE OBLIGATIONS AS A ‘DATA CONTROLLER’ UNDER APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW THAT YOU NEED TO COMPLY WITH.
Information collected from other sources
We may engage the services of other companies to handle certain tasks relating to the Zappar Services. This may include payment processing, search engine facilities, storage and serving of content, advertising and marketing, and analytics. These companies may send us Personal Data relating to you. We may also collect information about you from publicly available sources, such as via the internet and social networks, including through public or licensed APIs. If we do collect such information from third parties, we will only use that information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Equally, these companies may collect personal information directly from you. If they do, that company and not Zappar will be the data controller in respect of any information you provide to them (e.g. your credit card details) and you should check their privacy policy to find out how they will use your information.
Zapalytics and information about your device
When you use the Zappar App, the ZapBox App or our WebAR, our servers will automatically access or collect information from your device (e.g. smartphone), including the following:
- an Installation ID (see below);
- the IP Address linked to the device: we will process this to infer coarse user location (Country and City), and then discard the IP Address;
- the time;
- the make and model of your device (including operating system version);
- the version of the application being used; and
- information about your use of the application (we call this information “Zapalytics”).
We may use this Anonymous Information in the following ways: (i) to analyse and optimise your use of the Zappar Services; (ii) to provide notifications within a Zap based on your in-Zap activities; (iii) to develop new features and functionality; and (iv) to develop new products or services which we believe may be of use to you or other users of the Zappar Services.
Zapalytics Installation ID
The Installation ID is a unique installation ID generated by the Zappar App or ZapBox App when it is first run. In the case of WebAR, we use a cookie to set the ID on your device. The ID is a random number seeded from the system time and cannot be used to identify who you are. The ID is stored in the app’s storage directory (or locally) on your device and is used to anonymously track your use of the mobile application or WebAR in various ways, e.g.
- when you open the mobile application or launch WebAR;
- when you tap “ZAP”;
- the names and time of scan of Zaps accessed;
- How long you spend interacting with a Zap;
- when you perform certain actions during a Zap e.g. completing a game, high score achieved.
The Installation ID is not accessible to other apps or sites on your device and does not track you beyond the mobile application or WebAR site. We do not share the Installation ID within any third party.
Log Data – Zappar websites
Our systems will automatically record and store information created by your access to and use of our websites, including specific actions performed by you within these Zappar Services (collectively, “Log Data”). This may include information about your device, your IP Address, browser type, the pages that you visit, time spent on pages and other statistics. We use this information to better tailor the Zappar Services to our users’ needs and to provide you with targeted communications that you are happy to receive from us. We may also link this automatically collected information to Personal Data (e.g. if you submit a CONTACT US request or register for a Zapworks trial). We may also add Log Data to our customer relationship management system. We do not use any Log Data to track you outside of the Zappar Services.
GPS Location Data
Zappar does not currently receive or process any GPS location data provided by you or which we receive from location service providers. We may however wish to do so in the future to tailor the Zappar Services offered to users in a particular geographical location. If this becomes the case, we will only process GPS location data for which you have given us your consent, including your GPS location, which were provided by you or which we receive from GPS location service providers, but only for so long as this is necessary for delivering the Zappar Services and/or to the extent required as permitted by applicable law.
Legal basis for processing Personal Data
Our legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Data will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect Personal Data from you only where (i) we need the Personal Data to perform a contract with you; (ii) the processing is in our legitimate interests and not superseded by your rights; (iii) we have a legal obligation to process your Personal Data; or (iv) we have your consent to do so (e.g. you have ticked a box, or signed up for a newsletter).
Under our terms of use for the Zappar Services, “performance of contract” as a legal basis for processing your Personal Data refers to when we make the Zappar Services available to you, provide customer support, integrate the Zappar Services with technology and distribution platforms such as Apple iOS and Google Android, and inform you of service-related changes. If there is no legal contract between you and Zappar (e.g. because you are a minor), then we will process Personal Data for these purposes on the basis of our legitimate interests.
We process your Personal Data on the basis of our “legitimate interests”, for example, when we provide you with the Zappar Services, carry out marketing, keep the Zappar Services secure, for engineering purposes, analysing users behaviour across the Zappar Services, providing customer support, and running, growing and developing our business.
We have a “legal obligation” to process your Personal Data when complying with a legal obligation, such as preventing a crime or fraud or maintaining tax records. This ground may also include our obligation under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR to protect your Personal Data.
If you have questions about the legal basis for collecting and using your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact information provided in the “Contacting Us” section below

Profiling and automated decision making
We do create and maintain user profiles relating to some visitors to our websites. These profiles are created when a visitor fills in a form on zappar.com or zap.works, or registers for a Zapworks trial or for Zapvision CMS. No profiles are created for visitors who just browse the site(s). Our aim is to limit the Personal Data contained in these profiles to that required to achieve our legitimate interest of helping users get the best from our tools and better tailoring communications we send people.
We also apply some automatic decision making: we use a marketing automation tool called HubSpot which decides the type of communication you will receive (e.g. email, newsletter, blog content, tutorial content) based on who you are (e.g. a designer) and what actions you have performed within the Zappar Services. This means you may receive a different communication from someone else. In our view, this is the only consequence of the automation tool we use.
Marketing communications
We may use your Information to send you notifications and information about the Zappar Services and other Zappar products and services we think may be of interest to you. If you have consented to receive marketing, you may opt out at a later date. If at any time you no longer wish to be contacted for this purpose, please let us know and we will remove you from our mailing list. Please note that you may not opt out of service related emails as these are necessary for the security and performance of the Zappar Services.
Where will your information be stored?
Your Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country of which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
We use Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) to store and process data on our behalf in connection with the Zappar Services. We primarily use AWS servers located in Ireland to store and process your Information; however AWS also use various servers located around the world to cache data locally and speed up access to Content.
We may engage other businesses to carry out data processing on our behalf. For example, we may engage someone to provide payment services, to host the Zappar Services, to administer electronic mailings on our behalf, or to provide analytics services. We will continue to be the data controller in respect of any Personal Data transferred to or shared with such third parties and shall remain responsible for the processing undertaken by them.

Transfers outside of United Kingdom and Europe
If you use the Zappar Services while you are outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA), your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside the United Kingdom or EEA to enable us to provide you with those services. The circumstances in which this may happen are:
If any of our servers are located outside the United Kingdom or EEA or our service provider is located outside the United Kingdom or EEA (see the table above).
When you use one of our Zappar’s applications or the Zappar WebAR. These Zappar Services are made available by us for use internationally. This means it is possible that any Personal Data contained in your User Generated Content (e.g. your picture) that you publish on our platform (e.g. by connecting content to a zapcode, or sharing an animated GIF) may be automatically transferred by our servers to a device, server or other computer equipment being used in a country outside the United Kingdom or EEA.
Countries outside of the United Kingdom and EEA may not have similar data protection laws to the GDPR and UK Data Protection Act. If we do transfer any of your Personal Data outside the United Kingdom or EEA (e.g. to a data processor located outside the United Kingdom or EEA) we shall take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is adequately protected by: (i) only using processors who comply with UK and EU data protection laws (as applicable); (ii) the use of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or similar clauses adopted by the UK regulator in the case of transfers governed by UK law; and (iii) (in the case of transfers to the United States) the transfer of Personal Data to service providers and partners that are certified under any approved certification program in place at that time between the EU and the United States.

This Information would, for example, allow third-party advertising networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of interest to you;
- to inform business partners about use of the Zappar Services and products and services made available through the Zappar Services, in the form of aggregated statistics or otherwise in a format that does not identify you personally;

Zappar may choose to expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or transfer of control of all or part of Zappar or the Zappar Services. Information provided by users will, where it is relevant to any part of our business so transferred, be transferred along with that part as one of the transferred assets. The new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Notice, be permitted to use the Information for the purposes for which it was originally supplied to Zappar.
We also reserve the right to disclose de-identified user data to the prospective buyer of such business or assets.
Links to Non-Zappar Services
The Zappar Services may contain links to websites, microsites and other on-line services that are operated by third parties i.e. businesses other than Zappar (collectively, “Third Party Services”). Zappar does not control these Third Party Services and is in no way responsible for their content, or information collection practices. This Privacy Notice DOES NOT apply to your use of any Third Party Services.
Please consult the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any Third Party Service you choose to access to find out how they will collect, use and share your personal information and to establish whether and for what purpose they use cookies and similar technologies. Some Third Party Content contained on or accessible via the Zappar Services may operate as links to that third party’s website(s) and as such any information they collect by virtue of your clicking on that link will be collected and used in accordance with the privacy policy of that third party.
How do we keep your Personal Data secure?
Data security is of great importance to Zappar. We have put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic and managerial security measures to protect your Personal Data from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Specifically, we use the following measures:
- The Information you send Zappar is protected by SSL/TLS end-to-end encryption when transmitted from your device to our servers.
- Information stored on our servers is protected by encryption, key authentication and by firewalls. Your Information will only be accessed by authorised employees. These employees are obliged to preserve the confidentiality of all information that comes to their attention unless disclosure is compulsory by law or necessary for the fulfilment of their duties.
Even though we have taken the above security measures given the nature of online communications we cannot 100% ensure the security of your Information or guarantee that your Personal Data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by an unauthorised person who is determined to circumvent our security measures.
How long do we keep your Personal Data for?
We will retain your Personal Data for the duration of your use of the Zappar Services and for a reasonable period thereafter for backup, archival and/or audit purposes or for as long as the law otherwise requires.
Where you have chosen to upload User Generated Content to a zapcode of a third party we will need to continue to store your content on our servers for so long as the third party wishes to have access to your content in accordance with any agreement you or Zappar may have entered into with that party.
User profiles created by our marketing automation tool (Hubspot) are subject to a retention period, which we keep under review. If you wish your profile deleted earlier, please contact us (see below).
How can you access your Personal Data?
You have the right to ask for a copy of any of your Personal Data held by us (where such data is actually held by us and we can identify who you are). We will normally provide copies in response to your request free of charge. We do, however, reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for requests which are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive and for further copies of the same Information.
We will ask you to provide reasonable proof of your identity before we disclose any Information to you.
Children’s Privacy and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
This section of the Privacy Notice applies if any Zappar Services are accessed from within the USA or any other country which requires parental consent to be obtained before any collection of personal information from a child under the age of 13.
Zappar does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. The Zappar Services and their Content are not intentionally directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not target children under 13 as our primary audience. In the event we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, and that child lives in a country which does not permit such collection without prior parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that their child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without prior parental consent, please contact us at the address below and we will delete such information from our files.
So we can comply with international privacy laws, we may use age screens for some Zaps. We do not store any individual’s date of birth.
