Zantango Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 6, 2022
At Zantango our mission is to connect Users and Experts, thereby improving people's lives by providing a video-based platform that allows both sides to do this. To do so, we need to collect, use, and share some of your personal information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how Zantango does that and how to exercise the choices and rights you have in your information.
1. The Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to all Zantango users, including Users and Experts, and to all Zantango platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the "Zantango Platform"). Please remember that your use of the Zantango Platform is also subject to our Terms of Service.
