Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 23, 2026
Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information ZFormats collects when you visit zformats.net, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Who We Are
ZFormats is a professional document design service operated by Zaineb, based in Pakistan. This website is accessible globally and serves clients across the world. References to “I”, “me”, or “ZFormats” throughout this policy refer to the sole operator of this website.

2. What Information I Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you fill in the contact or quote request form on this website, I collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The message or project details you submit
This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and discuss your project. It is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit zformats.net, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools, including:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website or search query
- Device type and operating system
3. Client Files & Confidential Information
When you engage ZFormats for a project, you may share files, documents, brand assets, business information, or other materials necessary to complete the work (“Client Materials”). I treat all Client Materials with strict confidentiality.
Specifically:
- Client Materials are used solely for the purpose of completing your project and nothing else
- Client Materials are never shared with third parties unless required to deliver the service (e.g. a print platform)
- Client Materials are stored securely and deleted upon project completion if requested
- I do not claim any ownership over Client Materials — all original content, data, and information you provide remains entirely yours
It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right to share any materials submitted to ZFormats for design work. I accept no liability for materials shared without appropriate permissions.
4. Portfolio & Case Study Usage
Upon completion of a project, I may wish to showcase the finished work in my portfolio at zformats.net or on professional platforms including Upwork, Fiverr, Behance, or social media.
I will never display your work publicly without your explicit permission.
Specifically:
- Before adding any completed project to my portfolio, I will contact you to request permission
- You have the full right to decline portfolio usage — this will not affect the quality of service you receive or our working relationship in any way
- If you grant permission, only the final designed files will be displayed — never your raw materials, business data, or any confidential information
- You may withdraw your permission at any time by contacting me through https://zformats.net/contact and I will remove the work from my portfolio promptly
- Where requested, client names or identifying details can be anonymised in portfolio displays
Your trust is the foundation of everything I do at ZFormats. I take confidentiality seriously on every single project.
