We deploy administrative, physical, and digital protections to ensure that any personal information collected, stored, or transmitted is handled in accordance with our privacy practices and contractual obligations.
Where Zeroth Round acts on behalf of corporate partners, educational institutions, or government workforce programs, we do so under defined agreements and in alignment with each client’s data protection policies. Personal information is collected and used solely for the educational, career, and operational purposes explicitly authorized by participants or clients.
