Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 May 2025 · Zuko Studio, a wing of Zuko Labs

1. Introduction

Zuko Studio ("we", "our", "us") is the digital content wing of Zuko Labs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information and materials you share with us when you order a personalised AI video.

By placing an order or contacting us, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

When you place an order, we may collect:

  • Your name and contact details (phone number / WhatsApp)
  • Photos, videos, and voice recordings of the subjects in your video
  • Occasion details, personal messages, and special instructions
  • Payment information (processed securely through third-party providers)
  • Device information and usage data when you visit our website

We only collect information necessary to deliver your order and improve our service.

3. How We Use Your Materials

All photographs, voice recordings, and personal details you share are used exclusively for producing your specific order. We do not:

  • Use your materials to train AI models without explicit written consent
  • Share your materials with third parties except our trusted production partners under strict confidentiality
  • Use your materials for promotional purposes without your written consent
  • Retain your materials beyond the period specified in our deletion policy

Production partners who assist in creating your video are bound by confidentiality agreements and process your data only for your order.

4. Consent for Living Persons

For any video featuring a living individual (other than the person placing the order), we require verified consent from all subjects depicted. This is a strict policy that cannot be waived. By placing such an order, you confirm that:

  • You have obtained the informed consent of all living persons depicted
  • The video will not be used for deceptive, harmful, or non-consensual purposes
  • You accept full responsibility for any misuse of the delivered content

5. Payment Data

We do not store your full payment card details. All transactions are processed through secure third-party payment gateways compliant with PCI-DSS standards. We receive only a confirmation of payment completion.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Your materials (photos, voice recordings, source files) are retained for up to 30 days after delivery to allow for revisions. After this period, all source materials are permanently deleted from our systems.

You may request immediate deletion of your materials at any time by contacting us on WhatsApp. We will complete the deletion within 48 hours and confirm when done.

Basic order records (name, contact, occasion type) may be retained for up to 12 months for business accounting and dispute resolution purposes.

7. Cookies & Website Data

Our website uses essential cookies to function correctly. We may also use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via WhatsApp or email at privacy@zukolabs.com.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure. We encourage you to contact us through our verified WhatsApp number for sensitive communications.
