1. Introduction
At CreatorSearches, we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning your personal data. We operate a compliant, directory-based discovery platform that does not process sensitive medical, financial, or explicit profile data.
2. Information We Collect
We collect and process basic data to operate our Service efficiently:
- Contact Data: If you submit a creator listing request, contact support, or report a profile, we collect your name, email address, external platform links, and any context you volunteer.
- Usage Data & Analytics: We track anonymous user interactions (clicks on outbound links, searches, category selections) to audit traffic and optimize search-ad performance.
- Cookies and Local Storage: We use cookies to persist confirmation of the Age Gate and to facilitate standard traffic analytics.
3. How We Use Information
We utilize the collected information to:
- Verify and publish creator profiles in our directory.
- Evaluate and action reports, removals, or DMCA compliance takedowns.
- Respond to support emails and form submittals.
- Track outbound referral clicks for affiliate accounting.
- Analyze web performance to prevent abuse and maintain compliance.
4. Cookies & Trackers
We use essential and analytics tracking cookies. Essential cookies track that you have successfully accepted the 18+ Age Gate overlay so you do not have to verify your age on subsequent visits. Third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics/Tag Manager) may set cookies to measure traffic. For detailed control options, review our Cookie Policy.
5. Data Sharing & Disclosures
We do not sell, lease, or distribute your email addresses or personal logs to third parties.We may disclose information only if required by law, to enforce our site policies, or to protect intellectual property and safety standards (e.g. reviewing copyright infringement or underage safety claims).
6. Data Retention
We retain support emails, listing requests, and safety reports for as long as necessary to fulfill the safety review or compliance process, or as mandated by legal records retention requirements.
7. User Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under the GDPR, CCPA, or other regulations. These include the right to request access to the email records we hold, request corrections, or request deletion of your listings. Contact us at [email protected]to initiate these requests.
8. Security of Data
We implement standard web protocols to secure all submitted data. However, please note that no system is 100% secure. You provide contact information and links at your own discretion.
