GDPR Compliance
Introduction to GDPR Compliance
At Zyra AI, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This GDPR Compliance page explains how we comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and outlines your rights as a data subject.
The GDPR is a regulation that strengthens and unifies data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA.
As a data controller, Zyra AI is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that data processing is performed in accordance with the GDPR.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of your personal data that we hold.
- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your personal data to another controller.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Rights Related to Automated Decision Making and Profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider:
- The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data

- The purposes for which we process your personal data
- Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
