This page explains what Getzombys collects when you read the blog, submit an outbreak scenario, comment on a fiction episode, or download a printable supply list, and what you can ask us to do about it.
What we collect
When you use a form on this site we receive the fields you fill in: your name, email address, and the message or scenario text you send. If you comment on a serial episode, we store the display name and comment body. Technical data such as browser type, device category, approximate region, referring page, and timestamps is recorded automatically by our hosting and analytics tools when a page loads.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar storage to keep the site working, remember basic preferences, and measure which articles and checklists readers actually use. Analytics events cover page views, scroll depth, download clicks on printable lists, and form submissions. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings; some features, like remembering your last-read episode, may stop working as a result.
How we use it and who sees it
Submitted scenarios and comments are used to publish and moderate community content. Contact details are used to reply to you and, where you have opted in, to send occasional updates about new serials or guides. We share data with service providers that keep the site running: hosting, analytics, email delivery, and form handling. We do not sell personal data. Where a provider processes data outside South Africa, we rely on their standard contractual safeguards.
Retention and your rights
Comments and published scenarios stay in the archive while the site is live. Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to handle the request, then removed on a periodic cleanup. You can ask for access to your data, correction of inaccurate details, deletion, a portable copy, or withdrawal of consent for marketing at any time. Readers in the EU and UK have the same rights under GDPR, and California residents under CCPA. Send requests to the email below and we will respond within a reasonable period.
Accuracy and honest claims
Gear reviews and prep guides reflect our own testing and opinions, not sponsored guarantees. We do not publish fake endorsements, invented urgency, or claims of official affiliation with any brand, film studio, or game publisher. If a review is based on a sample provided by a supplier, we say so in the article. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of a specific outcome in a real emergency.
