About Our Services

Privacy and Security Principles

ZuluApp is built with privacy, security, and user trust as foundational principles. From the outset, our services have been designed to protect private communication through strong technical safeguards, including end-to-end encryption, and through governance standards that prioritise responsible use of technology.

Connecting You With Others

ZuluApp provides tools that allow you to communicate with other users through messaging, voice and video calls, media sharing, status updates, and optional location sharing where you choose to enable it.

We continuously work to improve how people connect using ZuluApp. To deliver these services, we may work with trusted service providers, partners, and affiliated companies that support functionality, infrastructure, and reliability.

Communication With Businesses and Organisations

ZuluApp enables communication between users and businesses or organisations where such features are made available. This may include sharing transactional information, appointment updates, delivery notifications, service messages, or other relevant communications.

We may also offer businesses and organisations specific tools or insights relating to their use of ZuluApp services, in accordance with applicable laws and our Privacy Policy.

Safety, Security, and Platform Integrity

We take the safety, security, and integrity of ZuluApp seriously. We work to prevent misuse of the platform, including abusive, harmful, or unlawful activity that violates our Terms or Community Standards.

Where necessary, we may investigate, restrict, suspend, or remove accounts or content, and take appropriate action consistent with our policies and legal obligations. Any enforcement actions are carried out in accordance with the account termination provisions of these Terms.

Global Infrastructure and Service Delivery

ZuluApp operates using global infrastructure to ensure reliable service delivery. This may involve storing and processing information in data centres and systems located in different countries, including outside your country of residence.

This global infrastructure is essential to providing our services and may be owned or operated by ZuluApp or by trusted service providers and affiliated entities acting on our behalf.

No Access to Emergency Services

ZuluApp is not a replacement for mobile or fixed-line telephone services. Our services do not provide access to emergency services or emergency service providers, including police, fire services, hospitals, or public safety answering points.

You are responsible for ensuring that you can contact emergency services through appropriate alternative means.

Registration and Account Information

To use ZuluApp, you must register with accurate and current information. Where applicable, this may include providing a valid mobile number or other account identifier.

You agree to receive service-related messages, including verification codes, via text message, call, or in-app notification, as required to register, secure, or maintain your account.

Contacts and Address Book

If you choose to enable contact syncing, and where permitted by law, ZuluApp may access phone numbers stored in your device's address book to help you connect with others on the platform.

You remain responsible for ensuring that you have permission to share contact information with us.

Age Requirements

You must meet the minimum age required to use ZuluApp in your country or territory. Where a higher age threshold applies, that requirement prevails.

If you are under the age of 18, you should review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian before using the service.

Devices, Software, and Updates

You are responsible for providing compatible devices, software, and internet connectivity required to access ZuluApp.

To ensure security, reliability, and functionality, you agree that ZuluApp may automatically or manually install updates and deliver service-related notifications as necessary.

Fees and Charges

ZuluApp does not charge for basic use of the service. However, you are responsible for any mobile data charges, internet fees, or other costs imposed by your network provider or internet service provider.

Changes to These Terms

ZuluApp may update or modify these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes to the service, legal requirements, or operational practices.

When we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify users, such as through in-app notices, service messages, or updates on our website. The date at the top of these Terms will indicate when the latest version became effective.

By continuing to access or use ZuluApp after updated Terms take effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the service and may deactivate your account.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.
