Privacy

The ZADA Channels extension does not collect personal data.

• About once an hour it downloads the public registry from channels.zada.solutions. That request carries no cookies and no identifier.
• Checks run on your device. The pages and channels you visit are not sent to ZADA.
• It stores two things in your browser: the downloaded registry and your setting for showing a badge on unregistered channels.
• It reads the address of the page you are on (and, on video pages, the link to the channel) only to show the badge. The popup reads the current tab only when you open it.
• It has no analytics, advertising or remote code. Uninstalling it removes everything it stored.

When you check a link, the link is processed to show you the result. ZADA does not store the links you check.

If you press Report suspicious channel, we store the reported link and the time of the report so our team can review it. We do not store who reported it.

The website (not the extension) uses the visitor analytics built into our hosting platform, Lovable. For each page you open it records the page address, your browser type, language, the page you came from and your approximate country. On the Check page the address includes the link you checked. It sets a session-id cookie that expires after 30 minutes. We use these statistics only to understand how the site is used.

To claim channels you verify your identity with a Passport credential from your ZADA wallet. ZADA checks the passport credential. Only your name and nationality are passed to this site — never your passport number, date of birth or photo.

We store:

• Your verified name. It is shown publicly next to your channels, only after you agree to that.
• Your nationality, the credential type and issuer, and when you were verified. These stay private and are used only to review claims and resolve disputes.
• A pseudonymous ID that ZADA creates for you for this site only, so we recognise you next time. Other sites get a different ID, so they cannot use it to link your accounts.
• The channels you add, their one-time proof codes and verification status, and a log of actions on them (added, verified, reviewed, removed).

While you are signed in, a secure cookie holds your signed verification for up to one hour. Apart from this and the analytics cookie described above, the site sets no cookies.

• Websites: we look up a DNS record through Cloudflare's public DNS service and fetch one file from your site.
• YouTube: we read your public channel description through the YouTube Data API (Google).
• Facebook, Instagram, TikTok: a ZADA staff member opens your public channel and looks for the code.

The website and its database are hosted by Lovable, whose database service runs on Supabase. Passport verification is handled by the ZADA Portal. We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.

You can remove a channel from your claim page at any time. It disappears from the public registry immediately. We keep the record and its log so we can handle disputes about who owns a channel.

To delete your owner profile entirely, or to exercise any other right under the ZADA Solutions Privacy Policy, email privacy@zada.io. You can reach our Data Protection Officer at dpo@zada.io.
