Running a service business in the United States comes with real challenges, especially for immigrant entrepreneurs. Finding clients is one part of the equation. Protecting your business, your payments, and your data is another.
Today, security goes far beyond getting paid. It’s about safeguarding your company’s most sensitive information and operating in an environment built on trust.
That’s why questions around data privacy matter. What information does Zdo collect? Why is it collected? And how do you know your data won’t end up in the wrong hands?
At Zdo, privacy is not an afterthought. It is the foundation of trust. Our policies and technology are designed to protect your business from data misuse while ensuring the platform works safely and efficiently. Below, we explain exactly how that commitment works in practice.
What Zdo Collects and Why
To operate a secure and reliable service platform and to actively prevent fraud, Zdo needs certain information from service businesses. This process is transparent and limited to what is strictly necessary for the app to function properly and protect all users involved.
Data Your Business Provides
- Registration information: basic business details such as company name, phone number, and email address.
- Identity verification: a government-issued photo ID (passport or state ID). This step ensures the person behind the profile is the legitimate account holder.
- Operational data: information related to your portfolio, service listings, and app usage. This data helps improve platform performance and user experience.
- Payment information: payments are processed by Stripe. Zdo does not store full card details at any point.
- Geolocation data: used solely to connect your business with nearby clients, making services faster and more relevant.
How This Data Is Used?
This information allows Zdo to operate efficiently, prevent fraud, comply with legal and financial obligations, and continuously improve the experience for both service providers and clients.
In simple terms, data is used to create a safer, more reliable environment where your business can operate with confidence.
