- Your likes, saves, follows and memberships.
- Your location history and places you've been.

What's kept
We'd rather be honest about this:
- Business enquiries stay with the businesses, with your name and phone number removed. But each business's own copy of an enquiry keeps what you sent.
- Marketplace chats you started on other people's listings.
- Your votes and RSVPs on other people's posts.
- Blocks you made, or that name you.
- Your interest answers and scores.
- Business claims and feedback you sent.
- Security and activity records, until they expire after 365 days.
- Records we must keep by law.
- Documents you sent in chats may remain.
To ask us to remove anything that's left, email privacy@zinola.in.
The full list is in our Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).
