What Data We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data, either directly or via third parties:

  • First name

  • Email address
  • API usage data
  • Zip code data
  • Location information
  • Address data
  • Search queries

Each category of data collected is described in detail in the appropriate section of this privacy policy or where specifically explained before data is gathered.

Users may voluntarily provide this data, while usage data is typically collected automatically when interacting with the site.

Unless otherwise noted, all requested data is necessary for proper functionality. If users fail to provide such data, we may not be able to offer our services effectively.

Where optional data is indicated, users can choose not to provide it without affecting service quality.

If unsure about what information is required, users are encouraged to contact the Owner directly.

Cookies and similar tracking tools may be used to deliver services and fulfill purposes outlined in this policy.

Users are solely responsible for any third-party personal data shared through this Application.


How and Where Data Is Processed

Processing Methods

We implement suitable technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of personal data.

Data is processed using IT systems according to procedures closely aligned with stated purposes. Authorized personnel (such as staff in administration, marketing, legal, system operations) or third-party partners (e.g., hosting providers, IT firms) may access data when needed. These parties may be appointed as data processors, and an up-to-date list is available on request.

Processing Location

Data is managed at our operational facilities and in other places where involved entities are located. Data transfers may occur internationally based on user location. See the relevant section of this document for more.


Data Retention

Unless otherwise stated, data is retained only as long as required for the purpose it was collected. We may keep it longer if required by law or with user consent.


Why We Process Data

We collect personal data for the following reasons:

  • To deliver and maintain our zip code lookup services
  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To respond to legal or regulatory requests
  • To defend our rights and those of our users or third parties
  • To detect and prevent misuse or fraud
  • To improve our location accuracy and service quality

3. Zip Code Lookup Service

When users look up zip codes through our service:

  • We process the zip codes and location data provided for lookup
  • We store lookup results temporarily for service improvement
  • We do not share address data or location information with third parties
  • We implement strict security measures to protect location data
  • We maintain high standards for data accuracy and privacy

We may process personal data when:

  • Users have given explicit consent
  • Data is required for a contract or pre-contractual arrangements
  • Legal obligations demand it
  • It serves the public interest or official authority
  • We have legitimate business interests that don’t override user rights

For help determining the legal basis, please contact the Owner.


More on Data Retention

  • Data linked to contracts is kept until the agreement is fulfilled
  • Data processed under legitimate interest is stored as long as necessary
  • If consent was given, data is kept until consent is withdrawn
  • Legal obligations may require longer retention
  • Zip code lookup results are retained only temporarily for service improvement

Once the retention period ends, data is deleted and access/portability rights no longer apply.

Objecting to Data Processing

Users may always object to direct marketing use without giving a reason. If objected, data will no longer be used for that purpose.

If personal data has been shared with others, the Owner will attempt to notify them of any corrections or deletions, unless it’s impossible or overly difficult.
