Privacy Policy

Data protection policy information of zetawatches.com, owner of https://www.zetawatches.com (alias “the Website”), updated to reflect U.S. privacy laws as of 2025.

1.0. zetawatches.com

Zetawatches.com explains how we process your data, our legal bases under applicable U.S. federal and state privacy regulations, and our legitimate business interests. We also describe categories of recipients with whom we may share your data.

1.1. Calling Our Websites / Applications

Cookies, Log-Files, Tracking, Social Media Plug-ins
Whenever you access our Website, certain data is automatically transmitted to our web server(s) via the Internet browser of the device you use. The data so collected is stored in temporary log files until automatically deleted. These log files may contain:

Date and time of access
Name of the webpage accessed/requested
Referrer URL (if you arrived via a link)
IP address of the requesting device
Load time, volume of data transferred
Other technical information (e.g., browser version, operating system, Internet Service Provider)

We also use cookies, tracking tools, targeting methods, and social media plug-ins. A cookie may be set on your device when you visit our Services. Cookies contain a small amount of information that allows our web servers to recognize you. We store data collected via cookies, log files, or clear gifs to record your preferences and collect information about how you interact with our Services (e.g., feature usage, frequency of visits).

Under applicable U.S. privacy laws (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act, Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act and others), we collect this information to:

Provide a secure and user-friendly experience
Ensure smooth data transfer
Maintain data and network security
Analyze and improve our Services

With this information alone, we generally cannot directly identify you personally. All such data is automatically deleted or de-identified once no longer needed.

1.2. Justification, Implementation, and/or Termination of a Contract

1.2.1. Data Processing on Conclusion of the Contract

If you register with zetawatches.com or purchase a product from our Website, we process data necessary to complete the transaction, including:

Full name
Billing address
Delivery address
Email address
Billing and payment data
Telephone number

We process this data to fulfill your order (e.g., for shipping and payment) and to comply with our contractual obligations. Where required, we also rely on user consent (e.g., for marketing communication). We store the data collected for order fulfillment as long as needed for legitimate business or legal reasons (e.g., statutory or potential warranty requirements).
After that period, data may be retained further to comply with U.S. federal and state recordkeeping obligations (e.g., tax or accounting regulations).

To process a purchase:

Your payment data is encrypted and shared with our payment service providers to charge your chosen payment method.
Your delivery address, email, and phone number may be shared with logistics and shipping partners to facilitate shipping updates, order tracking, and delivery confirmations.

1.2.2. Creditworthiness and Transmission to Credit Bureaus

zetawatches.com may offer “insecure” payment methods (e.g., installment payments, pay-by-invoice) and, to protect our business from fraud or non-payment, we may check your creditworthiness.

We may use negative credit information already on file or share such information with affiliated companies.
In some cases, we may use reputable credit reporting agencies to assess a customer’s credit.
Only relevant personal data (e.g., name, address, date of birth) is transmitted to these agencies.
We may rely on internal scoring models or external credit checks to automate decisions about granting certain payment methods. You have the right to request a manual review and to share your perspective or contest the automated decision.

1.2.3. Use of Data for Fraud Prevention Purposes

Information you provide when ordering may be used to detect atypical or potentially fraudulent ordering patterns (e.g., multiple orders of high-value items to the same address using different accounts). We rely on our legitimate business interests to protect our business and customers.

1.2.4. Transmission of Data to Transport Service Providers

To deliver your ordered goods, we partner with logistics/shipping companies. We may share:

First name, last name
Postal address
Email address
Telephone number (for delivery updates)

1.2.5. Transmission of Data on Outstanding Claims to Collection Service Providers

If you fail to pay outstanding invoices/instalments after repeated reminders, we may share the data necessary for collection with a reputable debt collection agency. Alternatively, we can sell the outstanding claims to that agency, which then pursues them on its own behalf. This process is in line with applicable U.S. laws on debt collection and permissible data sharing.

1.2.6. Transmission of Data to Partner Companies

You may interact with third-party offers on our platform. In these cases, you conclude a contract directly with that partner, and we transmit only the data required to fulfill said contract:

First name, last name
Billing and delivery address
Email address
Payment details
Telephone number

These partner offers will be clearly identified. If you purchase goods from a partner, their terms and conditions and privacy policy will apply.

1.2.6.2. Items from Other Sellers

zetawatches.com collaborates with select partners who list items on our site. When you order from such a partner, your contract is with the partner, not with zetawatches.com. We transmit only necessary data to fulfill your order. Each partner may use your email to send order updates. The partner’s privacy policy governs how they handle your data.

1.3. Data Processing for Advertising Purposes

1.3.1. Advertising

We rely on our legitimate interest under U.S. law to market relevant products or services to you. We may use:

Your name, postal address, and general demographic data (e.g., year of birth)
Other permissible data to display relevant advertisements

We do not sell or share your sensitive data (e.g., financial data) in ways that violate U.S. privacy laws. We may pseudonymize or anonymize data to enable interest-based advertising without directly identifying you.

Right to Opt-Out

You can opt out of certain marketing uses of your data at any time (see contact details in Section 1.10.5.3 or the “Contact Us” portion of our Website).
Once you opt out, we will cease using your data for those direct marketing purposes.

1.3.2. Newsletter

We offer an email newsletter via a sign-up box and/or during checkout.

We may use a double opt-in procedure: after entering your email and consenting to receive our newsletter, you’ll receive a confirmation link. Only by clicking that link will you be added to our mailing list.
If you opt in during checkout, we may skip the double opt-in.

Notice of Withdrawal
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any newsletter or emailing us at cs@zetawatches.com.

1.4. Online Appearance and Website Optimization

1.4.1. Cookies – General Information

We use cookies on various pages to enhance your experience, track usage statistics, and enable certain features:

Session cookies (deleted at end of browser session)
Persistent cookies (remain until manually deleted or expire)

Cookies help us provide user-friendly features (e.g., a shopping cart across pages). You can configure your browser to block cookies or alert you when cookies are set. However, blocking cookies may limit some Website functionality.

Where these cookies collect personal data, we rely on legitimate business interests or user consent (depending on state law) to operate and improve our Website.

1.4.2. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (a service by Google LLC) to understand how users interact with our site and to optimize user experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to generate usage statistics (e.g., pages visited, browser type, IP address). We use IP masking/anonymization where feasible.

Data collected is typically transmitted and stored on Google servers.
You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We rely on our legitimate business interests to analyze traffic and improve our services, while adhering to U.S. privacy regulations.

1.4.3. Google Ads

Our Website uses Google Ads, an online advertising program by Google LLC.

Remarketing: We analyze user behavior to display interest-based ads on other sites within Google’s Display Network. A “cookie” is set to record site usage (without storing personal information like your name or email).
You can disable Google’s use of cookies by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads.

1.4.4. Google Conversion Tracking

When you click on an ad served via Google Ads, a conversion-tracking cookie is placed on your device. This cookie helps us see if you complete certain actions (e.g., a purchase). We use the data to measure ad effectiveness.

Cookies expire after 30 days and do not store personal data.
You can opt out by configuring your browser to block cookies or by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

We engage in certain targeting measures to ensure ads shown to you are relevant and not intrusive:

Legitimate Interests: Our ability to show relevant offers and advertisements.

1.4.6. Onsite Targeting

We use cookie-based information to personalize on-site content (e.g., product suggestions based on prior visits). Data is collected pseudonymously and not merged with personally identifiable data.

1.4.6.2. Retargeting

We use retargeting from third-party service providers (e.g., the Meta Pixel from Facebook). This allows us to display relevant ads to users who have previously shown interest in our products. A retargeting cookie or pixel tracks user activity in pseudonymous form (no direct personal identification).

You can opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser or at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

1.4.7. Advertising Partners / Third-Party Cookies

We partner with third-party advertisers who may set cookies on your device when you visit our site. These cookies collect pseudonymous data about your browsing behavior to serve interest-based ads.

1.5.1. Meta and YouTube

These services are offered by Meta Platforms, Inc. and Google LLC (YouTube). When you visit a page containing a relevant plug-in, your browser may automatically connect to Meta or Google servers, which can potentially track your visit even if you do not actively interact with the plug-in.
