Privacy policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our AI-powered influencer matchmaking services. The types of information we collect include:

Personal Information

  • From Influencers: When you register or create a profile, we collect your name, email address, social media handles (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), follower counts, engagement rates, content niches, town affiliations (current and hometown), preferred campaign types, and any other details you provide.

  • From Brands: When you sign up or create campaigns, we collect your company name, contact information (e.g., email, phone), billing details, campaign briefs, budgets, and target demographics.

  • From All Users: Login credentials, IP addresses, device information, and usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site).

Non-Personal Information

  • Automatically Collected Data: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect data such as browser type, operating system, referral sources, and interactions with our site (e.g., clicks, searches).

  • Influencer Metrics: Through AI analysis and optional web scraping (with your consent), we gather public data like follower demographics, engagement metrics, content genres, and historical collaboration ratings from social media platforms.

  • Campaign Data: Proof of execution (e.g., uploaded content or links), performance analytics, and mutual ratings.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs) unless voluntarily provided and relevant to a campaign.

2. How We Collect Information

  • Directly from You: Through registration forms, profile creation, campaign submissions, and communications.

  • Automatically: Via cookies and tracking technologies when you browse our site.

  • From Third Parties: Publicly available data from social media platforms (e.g., via APIs or scraping, where permitted), payment processors, and analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics).

  • AI and Data Acquisition: Our AI engine processes data you provide or publicly scrape to generate recommendations, while protecting full datasets from external access.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate and enhance our platform:

  • Matchmaking and Recommendations: To analyze profiles and generate AI-curated lists of influencers or campaigns (e.g., based on niches, locations, and engagement).

  • Platform Operations: Facilitate registrations, invitations, campaign execution, payments, verifications, and ratings.

  • Analytics and Improvement: Aggregate data to improve AI algorithms, track platform performance, and provide scorecards.

  • Marketing and Communications: Send updates, newsletters, or promotional offers (you can opt out at any time).

  • Legal and Security: Comply with laws, prevent fraud, enforce terms, and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information in limited circumstances:

  • With Service Providers: Third-party vendors (e.g., payment processors like Stripe, cloud hosts like AWS) who assist with operations, under strict confidentiality agreements.

  • For Business Purposes: In mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your data may be transferred.

  • With Consent: If you agree, such as sharing influencer profiles with brands during matchmaking.

  • Legal Requirements: To comply with subpoenas, court orders, or government requests.

  • Aggregated Data: Non-identifiable, anonymized data for research or marketing.

Influencer data in scorecards is shared only with relevant brands in curated recommendations, and we protect full datasets from scraping.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.

6. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access and Update: You can review and edit your profile information via your account dashboard.

  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data by contacting us (subject to legal obligations).

  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails or disable cookies through browser settings.

  • Do Not Track: We do not respond to DNT signals, but you can manage tracking via cookie preferences.

For residents of certain regions:

  • GDPR (EU/EEA): You have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data. We process data based on consent, contract performance, or legitimate interests.

  • CCPA/CPRA (California): You can request disclosure of data collected/sold, opt out of sales (we do not sell data), and request deletion.
