Privacy Policy

The Influencer World ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect several categories of information depending on how you interact with the platform:

• Account information — your name, email address, password, company or brand name, and role (brand, creator, or agency)
• Profile & campaign data — social handles, audience demographics, content niches, portfolio links, campaign briefs, deliverables, and messages exchanged through the platform
• Payment information — billing details and transaction history processed through our payment providers; we do not store full card numbers on our own servers
• Communications — messages you send through our contact form, support channels, or in-platform chat
• Automatically collected information — IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps
• Information from third parties — publicly available social media metrics (follower counts, engagement rates) used to power creator discovery and matching

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the platform
• Match brands with relevant creators and campaigns
• Process payments and manage campaign workflows
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
• Send you updates, marketing communications, and service notices
• Improve our AI matching algorithms and platform features
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires it (such as under the GDPR), we process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases: performance of a contract with you, your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the platform, and compliance with legal obligations.

4. AI-Based Matching & Automated Decisions

Our creator-matching algorithm analyzes profile, campaign, and public engagement data to suggest relevant matches between brands and creators. These suggestions are recommendations, not final decisions — a human on your team always reviews and approves any match before a campaign is confirmed. You can request more information about the factors behind a specific match by contacting us.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Third-party service providers who help us operate the platform, such as payment processors, cloud hosting, and analytics providers
• Brands or creators as part of facilitating a campaign match or collaboration
• Professional advisors (legal, accounting) where necessary to run our business
• Law enforcement or regulators when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Influencer World, our users, or the public
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to the same protections described in this policy

6. International Data Transfers

Because our brands and creators are located around the world, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses — to protect data transferred internationally.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the platform, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed for these purposes, we securely delete or anonymize it.

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Marketing Communications

If you receive marketing emails from us, you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every message, or by adjusting your notification preferences in your account settings. You will continue to receive transactional messages related to your account and any active campaigns.

11. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for a few distinct purposes:

• Essential cookies — required to keep you signed in and to operate core site functionality
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it
• Preference cookies — remember settings like your dashboard layout or notification choices
• Marketing cookies — used to measure the performance of our own marketing campaigns

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect some site functionality.

12. Third-Party Links

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, including creators' social media profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

13. Children's Privacy

The Influencer World is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
