PRIVACY CENTER

1. Scope and effective date

This notice applies to Zenout Labs public pages, free browser tools, games, experiments, service inquiry flows, and the Market Notebook proof-of-concept demo. It was last updated on July 11, 2026.

If Zenout Labs later launches accounts, subscriptions, payments, API-connected tools, cloud-saved research, or backend compute, this privacy center should be reviewed and updated before those features collect production data.

2. Information the current site may collect

3. How information is used

• Provide public games, tools, experiments, and service pages.
• Generate browser-local tool outputs and inquiry briefs.
• Respond to service inquiries that you choose to send.
• Send a requested checkout notice and closely related product updates to launch-list subscribers.
• Improve copy, design, usability, and launch readiness.
• Protect the site, troubleshoot errors, and prevent abuse.
• Prepare future products such as Market Notebook without exposing private work publicly.

4. Market Notebook, Backtester, and research data

Market Notebook is currently a proof-of-concept service demo. The Backtester module is labeled as synthetic and research-only. It should not be used as investment advice, a broker, an execution system, or a paid signal product.

Future paid research features may involve strategy specs, backtest receipts, journal entries, CSV imports, optimization settings, Monte Carlo results, and research exports. Before those features are hosted, Zenout Labs should define clear retention, deletion, export, security, and data-source licensing rules.

Do not paste API keys, broker credentials, exchange secrets, account numbers, wallet seed phrases, private keys, tax identifiers, or regulated personal data into any public demo.

5. Cookies, analytics, and local device data

The public site works without advertising cookies. It may use essential browser storage to remember simple preferences such as cookie notice status, cursor choice, game/tool settings, and browser-only progress.

Zenout Labs also records cookie-free aggregate counts for page views and selected actions such as opening a catalog, completing a tool, sharing a public page, downloading a file, or starting an inquiry. Reports do not contain account IDs, email addresses, form text, wallet addresses, full referrer URLs, or raw IP addresses.

A one-way daily network hash is used only to rate-limit the metrics endpoint and is removed after a short retention window. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals disable these counts in supported browsers. Clearing browser data may remove local tool progress or preferences.

If advertising pixels, subscription checkout, authentication, or embedded third-party widgets are added later, this page will be updated before launch.

6. Sharing and service providers

Zenout Labs does not need to sell personal information to operate the current proof-of-concept site. Information may be handled by basic providers such as web hosting, email, domain, security, payment, analytics, or cloud infrastructure providers if those services are added.

Future paid features should use trusted providers for payments and account management rather than collecting payment card details directly on Zenout Labs.

Launch-list records are stored outside the public web root when hosting permits, with a web-denied directory as a compatibility fallback. An email provider will process the address when a requested product update is sent.

7. Retention and deletion

• Browser-local tool data remains on your device until you clear it or the tool overwrites it.
• Email inquiries may be retained as long as needed to respond, manage service work, and keep business records.
• Launch-list addresses are removed when you unsubscribe or within 90 days after the relevant product launches unless you separately request broader updates.
• Future account data should have account export and deletion paths before launch.
• Future Backtester run receipts should define whether they are private, shared, exported, archived, or deleted.

8. Privacy rights and choices

Depending on where you live and how future features are launched, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, limit, export, object to, or opt out of certain uses of personal information. California privacy guidance highlights rights to know, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, correct, limit sensitive information use, and non-discrimination. EU data protection law treats personal data protection as a fundamental right.

For the current site, most tool data is local to your browser. For email inquiries, launch-list removal, or future hosted accounts, use the contact method below to make a privacy request. You can also reply to a launch email to unsubscribe.

9. Children

Zenout Labs is not intended to collect personal information from children. The games are public browser experiences, but children should not submit personal details, service inquiries, payment information, or private research data.

10. Security commitments

• Keep private projects, client work, secrets, and unfinished internal notes off public pages by default.
• Do not ship API keys, broker credentials, payment secrets, or private tokens in frontend bundles.
• Use reputable payment processors if subscriptions are added.
• Keep launch-list records outside public web access with restrictive file permissions and bounded input validation.
• Add authentication, row-level access controls, audit logs, and rate limits before paid private workspaces.
• Use clear labels for synthetic research, demo data, imported data, and paid compute features.

11. Changes to this notice

This page should change as Zenout Labs changes. Material changes should update the date above and explain what changed, especially before launching accounts, payments, analytics, AI-provider integrations, or cloud-saved research.
