Privacy Policy & Disclaimer

ZimRate (zimrate.statotec.com) is operated by Statotech Systems as an independent information aggregation service. The purpose of this website is to make publicly available exchange rate data published by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe easier to access and understand for the general public.

We do not generate, set, influence, or manipulate any exchange rate figures. All rates displayed are the official interbank rates as published by the RBZ and are reproduced here solely for public information purposes.

ZimRate is an independent private service. We have no formal relationship, partnership, or affiliation with:

• The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)
• The Government of Zimbabwe or any of its ministries
• Any Zimbabwean government authority, regulator, or state-owned entity
• Any commercial bank or financial institution

The RBZ brand, name, and data remain the intellectual property of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. ZimRate does not claim ownership of any data sourced from the RBZ.

Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The exchange rates, inflation figures, and gold prices displayed are for general informational purposes only.

You should not make any financial or business decisions based solely on information found on this website. Always consult a qualified financial professional or verify current rates directly with your bank or the RBZ before conducting any transactions.

ZimRate, its operators, and affiliates accept no liability whatsoever for any losses, damages, or adverse consequences arising from the use of, or reliance on, information displayed on this website.

While we make every reasonable effort to ensure data is accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee:

• That rates are current at the exact moment you view them
• That data has not been delayed, missed, or disrupted due to service interruptions
• That the RBZ source website has not changed or been temporarily unavailable

For the most accurate and current official rates, always refer to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe official website.

ZimRate offers optional free user accounts to access the developer API. When you register, we collect and store:

• Your email address — used only for account authentication and service notices
• A hashed password (scrypt) — your plaintext password is never stored
• Named API keys you create — stored as one-way hashes after issuance; full key values are shown only once at creation time and cannot be recovered
• Per-key daily request counts for rate limiting, quota enforcement, and the usage charts in your dashboard
• Session tokens stored server-side, referenced via an HttpOnly cookie (zr_session) in your browser

Data retention: API usage data (daily call counts) is retained for a maximum of 365 days per user. Data older than one year is automatically deleted. Account data (email, password hash, keys) is retained for as long as your account is active.

We do not collect, store, or sell names, payment information, or any financial transaction data. Currency amounts entered into the converter are processed in your browser and never transmitted to our servers.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

ZimRate does not use advertising or tracking cookies. The only cookie we set is zr_session — an HttpOnly, secure session cookie used solely to maintain your logged-in state. It contains no personal information and is cleared on logout or expiry.

We do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking scripts that identify individual users.

This website is hosted by a third-party infrastructure provider. Exchange rate data is retrieved from publicly accessible web pages operated by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

• No commercial transaction, currency dealing, or financial intermediation is conducted through this website
