Privacy policy

Scope
ZSoil is a brand owned by GeoDev Sarl. ZSoil Software products are published by GeoDev Sarl.
GeoDev Sarl treats your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory regulations. With this privacy policy, we want to inform you about the use (collection, processing and use) of personal data (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address).
Through the implementation of the required technical and organisational measures, it is ensured that the protection of the personal data processed via this website is guaranteed. Our website is protected with an SSL certificate. This means that all data connections are encrypted. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the transmission of data on the Internet is generally subject to security gaps. Full protection against third-party access is therefore not possible. By using our website and its applications (e.g. the contact form or the order form), you provide your consent to communication via e-mail in the knowledge of the described risks.
This privacy policy is exclusively applicable to our website (www.zsoil.com). We assume no responsibility and accept no liability for links that direct users from our website to third-party websites. Clicking on external links is within your exclusive responsibility.
