Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

What we collect

Account information. When you sign up we collect your email address, company name, and a password (stored as a salted hash — we never store or see your plaintext password).

API usage. We record aggregate usage per API key (request counts and ZIP codes screened per day) to power your usage dashboard and enforce plan limits. We do not store the individual ZIP lists you query.

Technical data. Our hosting providers log standard request metadata (IP address, user agent, timestamps) for security and operations.

What we don't collect

We do not collect or process information about your customers. ZIP codes you screen are geographic identifiers, not personal data, and are not retained after your request completes.

How we use it

To provide the service, show you your usage, enforce plan limits, communicate with you about your account, and keep the service secure. We do not sell your data. Apart from the advertising measurement described under Cookies & advertisingbelow, we don't share it with third parties for marketing.

Service providers

We run on Vercel (hosting) and Neon (database), and use LinkedIn for ad measurement (see below). Event data originates from public US government sources (National Weather Service, FEMA, US Census Bureau).

Data retention & deletion

Account and usage data are retained while your account is active. To delete your account and associated data, contact privacy@zipawa.com.

Cookies & advertising

We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in to your dashboard, and first-party analytics that count page views without identifying you.

We also run the LinkedIn Insight Tagso we can measure which LinkedIn ads lead to signups and show ads to people who have visited this site. It sets LinkedIn cookies in your browser and sends LinkedIn your IP address, page URL, referrer and browser details. You can opt out of LinkedIn's advertising cookies in LinkedIn's own settings, whether or not you have a LinkedIn account.

Changes

We'll post any changes to this policy on this page and update the date above.
