Privacy Notice
How Zidi collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you visit our sites, create an account, or watch videos shared by our users.
1. Who This Notice Covers
This Privacy Notice explains how PepoCloud LLC (“PepoCloud LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal data for our Zidi websites (zidi.ai), applications, Chrome extension, and video services (collectively, the “Services”). It applies to:
- Users: account owners and team members who record, upload, edit, and share videos through the Services.
- Viewers: people who watch shared videos, visit video landing pages, or interact with video content created through the Services.
- Visitors: anyone who browses our marketing sites, support pages, or interacts with our promotional materials.
By using the Services, you consent to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.
2. Personal Data We Collect
Data you provide to us
We collect the personal data you choose to share, including:
- Account and profile details such as name, email address, password, and profile photo.
- Video content you upload, record, or create through the Services, including screen recordings, camera recordings, and edited video projects.
- Campaign recipient data, including names, email addresses, and custom personalization tokens you provide for video campaigns.
- Payment and billing information (e.g., billing contact details, billing address). Payment card data is processed by Dodo Payments and not stored by Zidi.
- Support requests, feedback, and any other information you provide when you contact us.
Data we collect automatically
When you use the Services, we automatically collect certain information, including:
- Usage and log data such as the pages you view, features you use, actions you take, timestamps, referring/exit pages, and session IDs.
- Device and browser information including IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, language settings, and approximate geolocation derived from your IP address.
- Cookies and similar technologies used to operate and improve the Services.
- Video engagement data such as views, watch time, percentage watched, click-through actions, and viewer interaction metrics.
Chrome Extension
Our Chrome extension enables screen recording, tab recording, and camera recording directly from your browser. When you use the extension:
- Screen and tab recordings are captured locally in your browser using browser APIs (getDisplayMedia, desktopCapture). Recordings are uploaded to our cloud storage in parts while you record, for storage and playback.
- Camera and microphone access is requested only when you choose to record with camera or microphone enabled. This data is not accessed unless you initiate a recording.
- Authentication tokens are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage) to keep you signed in. These tokens are sent to our servers to authenticate API requests.
- Tab and display information (such as active tab URL and display dimensions) is accessed locally to facilitate recording and is not transmitted to our servers.
The extension does not collect browsing history, read page content, or track your activity outside of the recording features you initiate.
3. How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data for the following purposes:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services, including video recording, editing, hosting, sharing, and analytics.
- Process video recordings and deliver AI-powered features such as automatic captions, dubbing, voice change, summarization, and chat-with-video.
- Create and manage accounts, authenticate users, and process payments or subscription charges.
- Send notifications, service announcements, video-ready alerts, and support responses.
- Personalize experiences, recommend configurations, and remember your preferences.

Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using personal data for certain purposes, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
4. Legal Bases for EEA/UK/Swiss Personal Data
When the GDPR, UK GDPR, or Swiss data protection laws apply, we process personal data under these legal bases:

5. How We Share Personal Data
We do not sell personal data. We may share personal data in these circumstances:
Service providers
Vendors that help us deliver the Services access personal data only to perform work on our behalf. They include providers of hosting, cloud storage and content delivery; transcription, voice and other AI services; payment processing; background job processing; email delivery; error monitoring; feedback forms; and the optional integrations you choose to connect. A current list of these providers is available on request at privacy@zidi.ai.
User-directed sharing
When you share videos publicly, publish video landing pages, or distribute campaign links, your video content and associated metadata become accessible to viewers. You control who can access your videos through sharing settings and password protection. This includes AI assistants you choose to connect to your Zidi account, such as Claude or ChatGPT; see Section 12.
Legal compliance and protection
We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Business transfers
If we engage in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Services. These technologies help us remember preferences, keep you signed in, understand usage, and deliver relevant content.
Types of cookies we use
- Essential: Required for core functionality, authentication, and security.
- Performance and analytics: Help us understand how the Services are used to improve performance and user experience.
- Functional: Enable enhanced features, such as remembering your recording preferences or editor settings.
- Marketing: Used to deliver relevant marketing, measure campaign effectiveness and credit referral partners, where permitted.
Managing preferences
You can manage cookies through your browser settings or our cookie banner (where available). Blocking some cookies may affect how the Services function.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Notice. Specific retention practices include:
- Video content: Retained while your account is active and you choose to keep the content. Deleted videos are removed from our storage systems.
- Engagement analytics: Video view data, watch time metrics, and CTA click data are retained for reporting and analytics purposes while your account is active.
- Account data: Deleted upon account closure, subject to any legal or regulatory retention requirements.
When data is no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify it in accordance with our retention policies, unless we need to keep it to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
8. Data Security
We implement technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest for stored data.
- AES-256-GCM encryption for integration credentials and OAuth tokens.
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
- Access controls and least-privilege principles for internal systems.
Despite these efforts, no security controls are infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your account or interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 31.
9. International Data Transfers
Zidi is operated by PepoCloud LLC. Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than where you live, including the United States. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
When transferring personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, reliance on adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms, and we take additional measures as needed to protect personal data.
10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- Access and portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Correction and deletion: Request correction of inaccurate data or deletion of your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
- Opt-out: Object to certain processing activities or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@zidi.ai or using in-product settings where available. We may request information to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
11. Marketing and Communication Preferences
You can opt out of promotional emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us. Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional messages about your account, transactions, or service updates.
Transactional emails — such as video-ready notifications, account confirmations, and security alerts — will continue regardless of your marketing preferences.
12. Third-Party Services and Integrations
The Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party sites, tools, or services. Your use of those services is subject to their terms and privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how they handle your data.
Zidi offers integrations with CRM platforms, automation tools, messaging services, and tracking pixels. Detailed per-integration disclosures are provided in Sections 13 through 24 below. If you connect a third-party integration, data may flow between Zidi and that provider as directed by you. Disconnecting an integration will stop new data sharing but may not delete data already shared with that provider.
AI assistants. You can connect your Zidi account to an AI assistant, such as Claude (by Anthropic) or ChatGPT (by OpenAI), through Zidi's connector. Nothing is shared until you sign in to Zidi and select “Allow access” on Zidi's consent screen. Once connected, the assistant can, when you ask it, read data from your own Zidi account: your recordings' titles, descriptions, dates and share links, and the transcripts and summaries Zidi has already created; viewer analytics; and your campaigns, including the email addresses of identified viewers and the names and companies of campaign recipients. It can also create share links and draft campaigns in your account. It cannot send emails, launch campaigns, or delete anything. Data that Zidi returns to the assistant is handled by the assistant's provider under its own terms and privacy policy. Zidi does not receive or store your conversations with the assistant; for each request we log the tool used, your account and the connecting app's identifiers, the outcome, and the timing. The connection lasts until you remove Zidi from the assistant, or ends after 30 days without use. If you share viewers' or campaign recipients' personal data with an assistant, you are responsible for having a lawful basis to do so.
