Effective Date: March 10, 2026
At Zy Yazan platform (zyyazan.sy), we value your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data as you use our platform — whether as a reader, a registered member, or a client inquiring about our content and translation services.
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the platform, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to display a profile picture. After approval, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
2. Media
If you upload images to the platform, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract location data from any images that contain it.
3. Services & Contact
Zy Yazan currently operates as a content platform connecting clients with Arab freelancers through direct communication. We do not process payments through the platform at this stage. When you contact us through the contact form or by email, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, to coordinate the requested service.
No financial or payment data is collected or stored on our servers. Any future payment processing will be handled through secure third-party gateways, and this policy will be updated accordingly at that time.
4. Cookies
Personalization
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name and email in cookies for convenience. This cookie lasts one year.
Account Management
If you register for an account on the platform, we set a temporary cookie to check browser compatibility. Upon login, cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored and used solely to send you updates about new articles and platform services. You may unsubscribe at any time through the link included in every email.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising networks which may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These cookies are managed by the advertising provider and are subject to their own privacy policies. You may opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or via the provider’s opt-out tools.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this platform may include embedded content such as videos, images, or social media posts. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the source website directly — that website may collect data about you, use its own cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited cases:
Spam Detection
Comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.
Security
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
Legal Obligations
We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request.
7. Data Retention
Comments
Comments are retained indefinitely to allow automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments from the same user.
User Accounts
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile for as long as the account remains active. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time — except for their username, which cannot be changed after registration.
Contact Inquiries
Information submitted through the contact form is retained only as long as necessary to respond to and fulfill the inquiry.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on the platform, you may request an exported file of all personal data we hold about you. You may also request deletion of any personal data, except data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To submit a request, contact us at: support@zyyazan.sy
9. Changes to This Policy
As Zy Yazan platform grows and new services are introduced, this privacy policy will be updated to reflect those changes. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the platform after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
