## ROAS Settings

**Customer** - Order received for customer with the same email or customer ID as a ZAP recipient who received mail in the last 42 days. \
\
**Address** - Order received from a customer at a postcode targeted by a ZAP Campaign in the last 42 days.\

### Include VAT?&#x20;

By default ROAS reporting will show VAT free values. Should you wish to include VAT in your reporting figures, then enable this setting.&#x20;

## Operational Settings

### Recipient Send Limiter

This setting will allow you limit how frequently you want to send to a single recipient. When switched on you will be asked to provide a number of days, weeks or months. This figure will then be checked against everyone you attempt to mail to ensure they're not within their send frequency limit. \
\
This allows users to connect automated mailing pipelines but not worry they're sending multiple mailing to people in quick succession.&#x20;

### GDPR Data Purge Frequency

This setting will dictate how long we hold your submission data before we cleanse it from our system. \
By default your GDPR cleanse setting will be 6 months however this can be changed to the value that best matches your data security policies.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://userguide.zappost.com/zap-post-web-app/zap-post-user-guide/zap-app/using-the-zapp/settings/zap-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
