Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 18, 2026

At ZLOTTS, your privacy matters. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable Indian law including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA).

1 Data We Collect

When you use the ZLOTTS platform, we collect only the information necessary to provide the service:

  • Your name and WhatsApp phone number
  • Appointment details (salon name, date, and time slot)
  • Feedback ratings and support messages you send to us

We do not collect payment information, precise location data, or any data beyond what is required for booking management. We do not track your physical location at any point.

2 How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Sending booking confirmations and appointment reminders via WhatsApp
  • Notifying you about status updates (confirmed, rescheduled, or cancelled)
  • Collecting post-service feedback to improve partner quality
  • Responding to support queries and resolving complaints
  • Improving the reliability and features of the ZLOTTS platform

We do not use your data for targeted advertising, profiling, or any automated decision-making that affects your rights.

3 Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We share your booking details (name, phone number, appointment time) only with the specific salon or parlour you have booked with. This is necessary for them to confirm and prepare for your appointment.

We do not sell, lease, or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated businesses. However, your data is processed through the following third-party infrastructure:

  • Google LLC — Booking and customer data is stored in Google Sheets and processed via Google Apps Script. Google acts as a data processor under our use of their platform. Google's privacy policy applies to their services.
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. — All WhatsApp messages are transmitted through Meta's WhatsApp Business API. Meta's own data policies apply to message transmission.
  • Netlify, Inc. — Our website is hosted on Netlify. Support form submissions may be processed by Netlify.

4 WhatsApp Integration

ZLOTTS operates through the WhatsApp Business API, provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. By messaging ZLOTTS on WhatsApp, you acknowledge that your messages travel through Meta's infrastructure and are subject to WhatsApp's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

ZLOTTS uses WhatsApp exclusively for transactional messages — booking confirmations, reminders, status updates, and support responses. We do not send promotional or marketing messages without your explicit consent.

5 Browser Storage (Website)

When you log in to the ZLOTTS dashboard on our website, we store a session token in your browser's localStorage. This token is used to keep you logged in for up to 2 hours without needing to re-enter your OTP.

This is not a tracking cookie — it contains only a temporary authentication token and is automatically cleared when the session expires or you log out. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers on our website.

6 Data Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including:

  • OTP-based authentication for dashboard access (no passwords stored)
  • Session tokens that expire automatically after 2 hours
  • Access to booking data restricted to authorised ZLOTTS administrators and the relevant partner salon only

While we take these precautions, no internet-based system can guarantee 100% security. We encourage you to contact us immediately at hello@zlotts.com if you suspect any unauthorised use of your data.

7 Data Retention

We retain your personal data (name, phone number, booking history) for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you request deletion of your account and data, we will remove your personal information from our active records within 14 business days.

Certain anonymised, aggregated data (e.g., booking volume statistics) may be retained for platform improvement purposes even after deletion, as it cannot be used to identify you.

8 Your Rights under DPDPA 2023

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the following rights as a Data Principal:

  • Right to access — request a summary of personal data we hold about you
  • Right to correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data from our records
  • Right to grievance redressal — raise a complaint with our Grievance Officer (see below)
  • Right to withdraw consent — opt out of communications at any time by messaging "STOP" to our WhatsApp number

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Grievance Officer at hello@zlotts.com. We will acknowledge your request within 48 hours and resolve it within 15 business days.

9 Grievance Officer

In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, ZLOTTS has appointed a Grievance Officer to address privacy-related concerns:

  • Name: Subhajit Manna
  • Role: Founder & Grievance Officer, ZLOTTS
