We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.
- Personal Information Provided by You
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include the following:
- Information automatically collected
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Sites or Apps. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Sites or Apps and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Sites or Apps, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in our Cookies Policy: https://www.zonkafeedback.com/cookies-policy.
The information we collect includes:
- Referral data
If you arrive at a Zonka Technologies website from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us.
- Information from third parties
We may collect your personal information or data from third parties, if you have given permission to those third parties to share your information.
- Log and Usage Data
Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usages, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports, and hardware settings).

- Form Data
When you create surveys, distribute surveys and collect responses, we collect information relating to you and your use of our Services.
- Survey Responses
We collect and store the responses that are submitted, using third party server providers like Amazon Web Services, on behalf of our Customers. The survey creator (Customer) is responsible for this data, and is managed by them directly. As a Survey Responder, if you have any questions about a form which a Customer has sent to you or given you access to fill in, or about the data to be provided in the survey, please contact the Survey Creator directly since Zonka Technologies is not responsible for the content of that Survey. The survey creator may have their own privacy policy defining how they manage the collected data.
- Are your Survey Responses anonymous?
You will need to ask the survey creator as it depends on how the individual, company or organization has chosen to configure the survey(s). We provide information to survey creators on how they can collect responses anonymously. However, even if the survey creator has followed those steps, specific questions in the survey may still ask you for your personal information or data that could be used to identify you.
