4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Essential cookies are always used because the sites cannot work without them: they remember your language, keep you signed in, protect forms against misuse, and remember your cookie choice (the zx_cookie_consent cookie, kept for one year). Analytics and marketing cookies are used only if you click Accept on the cookie banner: Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager help us understand how our sites are used, and on the Zhmara X website and the Training Center the Brevo tracker helps us measure our emails and campaigns. If you click Reject, these are not loaded and their cookies are deleted. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page, or delete cookies in your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services
We use trusted services to run our sites: Google (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, only with your consent), Brevo (the support chat on our websites, and email and marketing tools), YouTube (course videos in the Training Center), FIB (First Iraqi Bank) for online payments, and email and hosting providers. These services receive only the information they need to do their job and handle it under their own privacy policies.
-
6. Online Payments
Payments for plans and courses are made through FIB (First Iraqi Bank). You pay in the FIB app; we never see or store your card or bank details. We only keep the payment record (amount, date, status and payment reference).
-
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers above when they need it to provide our services, when you ask us to (for example, when you share your CV with an employer), or when the law requires it or a public authority makes a valid request.

8. Data Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords and access limited to the people who need it. No system is completely secure, so please keep your password private and tell us if you notice anything unusual.

9. Data Retention
We keep your information while your account is active and as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or required by law, for example accounting and tax records. When you delete your company in ZX Live, its data, users and files are deleted. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it (unless the law requires us to keep it) or object to how we use it.
