Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Zephor Inc ("Zephor," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects personal information, including information collected through our staff text messaging program.

Information we collect

Employee contact information: name, mobile phone number, preferred language, and assigned work location, collected directly from the employee during onboarding.
Message content: the text of messages employees send to and receive from our business phone number, such as supply order lists and operational replies.
Message metadata: date, time, and delivery status of messages.
Business records: information necessary to operate our businesses, including supply orders and schedules.

How we use information

To receive and process supply and inventory orders submitted by staff
To send operational notices, schedule information, and safety reminders to staff
To translate operational notices into each employee's preferred language
To maintain internal records of orders and communications for business and accounting purposes

    No third-party marketing. Mobile phone numbers and text message content collected through our staff messaging program are used only for the internal purposes described above. We do not sell, rent, or share this information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Consent to receive text messages is never shared with third parties for marketing.
  

Service providers

We use third-party service providers to operate our messaging and records systems, including a telecommunications provider that transmits text messages and cloud software providers that store business records. These providers process information only as needed to deliver their services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Text message consent and opt-out

Employees provide written consent before receiving text messages, and consent is not a condition of employment. An employee may withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any message, by telling a manager, or by emailing jooho@zephor.net. Opt-out requests are honored immediately. Full details are described on our SMS Program page.

Data retention

We retain message records and order histories for as long as needed for business and accounting purposes, and signed consent forms for the duration of employment plus any period required by applicable law. Records are deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.

Security

We limit access to personal information to authorized personnel who need it to perform their work, and rely on access-controlled business accounts and reputable service providers to protect stored information. No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold.

Your rights

Employees may request a copy of the personal information we hold about them, ask that it be corrected, or request deletion where we are not required to retain it. Requests can be sent to jooho@zephor.net.

Children

Our messaging program is intended only for employees and is not directed to children under 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised, and material changes will be communicated to affected employees.
