This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Use, and describes how we collect, use, and share information.

This is information that you provide to us through text fields, such as your name, payment information, and benefits. The information of this type that we require you to provide differs depending on whether you create an account, become a Fans4Creators, purchase a subscription or other offering, otherwise engage with a creator, or become a creator, and typically includes at least:
first and last name/surname;
email address;
phone number;
username;
password; and/or

Fans4Creators
A Fans4Creators is someone who subscribes and/or makes a purchase on Fans4Creators, which may come with special benefits from creators they love. As a Fans4Creators, you must provide your payment information to our payment partners. You can see the Privacy Policy for these payment partners on the Adyen, Venmo, Apple, PayPal, Stripe, and Checkout sites. Fans4Creators stores the expiry and postal code associated with your payment card, but does not store your full payment card number. Instead, Fans4Creators uses a service provider to create a token that represents your card’s primary account number, which Fans4Creators then stores. If you choose to pay using a payment partner that requires you to provide to them your personal data like name and email address, such as PayPal, then that payment partner may provide that information to Fans4Creators.
We collect and process information about the creators you subscribe to and/or support, the memberships and other offerings you purchase, and what benefits you receive. As a Fans4Creators, if you select a membership or offering with a physical benefit then you will be asked to optionally provide your shipping information, including phone number. We may also derive your location from your self-disclosed country, your IP address, and/or your payment card.
Creators
A creator is someone who creates a page on Fans4Creators to engage with Fans4Creators who purchase memberships or offerings on Fans4Creators to support the creator’s creations. To become a creator, you must create a page that describes what you are creating and any benefits you are offering. To receive payouts, you have to create an account with one of our payment partners: PayPal. If you choose to receive payouts using a payment partner that requires you to provide to them your personal data like name and email address, such as PayPal, then that payment partner may provide that information to Fans4Creators. You may also be required to provide your bank account information to process payouts. You must also provide us with additional information for tax purposes.

As part of offering and operating a creator page and/or membership on Fans4Creators, a creator may use one or more third-party services.

Accordingly, creators may share Fans4Creators personal data with such third-party services and/or enable Fans4Creators to elect to share personal data with such third-party services in order to receive offerings or membership benefits or otherwise participate in a membership or related event. Fans4Creators app directory provides information about many of these third-party services, though it is not exhaustive as creators may also use other services. You should review the privacy policies of these third-party services in order to understand how they collect, use, and share personal data.
Information Shared with Communities on Fans4Creators
By subscribing, purchasing a membership or offering on Fans4Creators that is offered by a creator, otherwise engaging with or becoming a Fans4Creators of a creator, or by creating a creator page yourself, you are joining a Fans4Creators community associated with that creator. This community is comprised of the creator and people who have subscribed to, purchased a membership or offering on Fans4Creators that is offered by, or otherwise engaged with or become a Fans4Creators of that creator, including those who subscribed to that creator for free. You agree to share personal data with that community that may include:
your full name in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your avatar image in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your biographical description in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your connected social media accounts in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your subscription, membership tier, or other recurring payment related to the creator associated with that community;
the offerings you’ve purchased on Fans4Creators related to the creator associated with that community;
how long you’ve supported the creator associated with that community, including the date you first purchased an offering and/or started each subscription and/or membership tier related to that creator;
the communities on Fans4Creators to which you and the person viewing your community profile both belong;
the chat rooms on Fans4Creators in which you and the person viewing your community profile both are or have been present; and
your status in that community, including awards and badges you’ve received and any moderator or other roles you have.
This personal data may be displayed in your community profile, which may have more information than your public profile and is visible to fellow community members. You can learn more about the personal data that may be shared with communities on Fans4Creators, including in community profiles, and your associated controls over that data in our Help Center. If you disable your community profile in your settings, then your public profile, which is described below, may be displayed to fellow community members.
When you comment on a post, like a post or message, react to a post or message, join a chat room, send a chat message, express interest in an event, join an event experience, and take other community actions you are visible to the associated sections of those Fans4Creators communities. When you are typing a message in a chat room or other community space, this may be displayed to the other people in that chat room or community space. Comments, messages, likes, and reactions in community spaces are visible to the associated Fans4Creators community and community members who later join the associated community space may be able to see the full history of comments, messages, likes, and reactions. For example, chat messages sent to a community chat room or community event experience are visible to the sections of that community associated with the chat room or event. Similarly, comments, likes, and reactions related to a post visible to a community are visible to the sections of that associated community that can see that post. If the visibility of a post or community space later changes, then the visibility of the associated comments, messages, likes, and reactions may also change along with it. For example, if a post is later made available to a larger section of a Fans4Creators community, then the comments, likes, and reactions on that post may also become available to that section of that Fans4Creators community.
Information Shared with the Public
The following information may be publicly accessible or otherwise shared with members of the public and you can learn more in our Help Center:
Aggregated and otherwise non-personal data, including aggregated usage data in blog posts, press releases, or other ways to share information about Fans4Creators usage and business.
Comments, likes, and other reactions inherit the visibility of the associated post or message. Accordingly, comments, likes, and reactions on public posts or messages are public and comments, likes, and reactions on posts or messages with limited visibility are visible to the audience of users to whom the author has made the post or message available. If a non-public post or message is later made public, then the comments, likes, and reactions on that post or message may also become public.

Information Shared with Third Parties
We never sell your information to third parties. Other than information that is shared with creators, shared with communities on Fans4Creators, or shared with members of the public, we will only share data with third parties under the following circumstances:
Fans4Creators service providers: these are companies that are contractually engaged with us to provide us with services, including cloud hosting, content distribution, security, order fulfillment, email and document management, internal communication/chat, analytics, credit card processing, multi-currency settlement solutions, and fraud detection and prevention. We may share your personal data with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that these third parties use your personal data only on Fans4Creators behalf and pursuant to our instructions (service providers may use other non-personal data for their own benefit).
Government and law enforcement agencies
Tax reporting: to satisfy obligations to report information to tax authorities, including reporting information about creators’ earnings on Fans4Creators, tax identification information, and information related to transactional taxes such as Valued Added Tax, Goods and Services Tax, other local service or sales taxes in non-US locations, and state sales tax in the United States.
Legal process and law enforcement: to protect the security or integrity of Fans4Creators, as well as to protect the rights, property, and safety of Fans4Creators, its employees, Fans4Creators, creators, or others, or if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or other valid legal process (e.g. subpoenas or warrants served on Fans4Creators). When legally permitted to do so, and under appropriate circumstances, Fans4Creators will endeavor to notify you (typically by email) when we intend to release your data pursuant to a valid government request, law-enforcement request, or other legal process.
Any third parties connected with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or reorganization of our company: in such a circumstance the promises in this Privacy Policy apply to any data transferred to a new entity.
Payment partners: to make sure Fans4Creators is a safe community for everyone, Fans4Creators is required to have all creators sharing sexually explicit creations or creations that include nudity verify that they are over the age of 18, agree to obtain consent from each person depicted in their creations, and agree to verify that each such person is over the age of 18. Upon request from a payment partner, Fans4Creators may share the information used to verify that such an Adult/18+ creator is over the age of 18 with the requesting payment partner in order to demonstrate compliance with their rules. With respect to people depicted in Adult/18+ creations, Fans4Creators does not collect this age verification or consent information directly and instead provides creators with a consent form template that they may use for this purpose. When it is necessary to do so, however, Fans4Creators may request that creators provide this information to Fans4Creators. Upon request from a payment partner, Fans4Creators may thereafter share this information with the requesting payment partner in order to demonstrate compliance with their rules.
Individuals to whom you’ve granted teammate permissions: team accounts is a feature that Fans4Creators makes available to some creators to help them use a team of people to manage their creator page. Team accounts are comprised of a single team lead role and a number of teammate roles. The team lead is the primary owner of the account and can add and remove teammates who have access to perform a subset of actions with respect to the applicable creator page and manage a subset of the information about that creator page. Please review our Help Center for more information about the scope of permissions that are granted with the teammate role. If you choose to grant anyone teammate access to a creator page, then Fans4Creators will follow your instructions and grant the access or permission that you’ve selected.
Third-party services to which you’ve connected your Fans4Creators account: when you connect your Fans4Creators account to other websites, apps, or services, you may be asked to give those websites, apps, or services access to information about your Fans4Creators account and/or permission to perform actions within your Fans4Creators account on your behalf.

You can see the Privacy Policy for these payment partners on the Adyen, Venmo, Apple, PayPal, Stripe, and Checkout sites.

As part of offering and operating a creator page and/or membership on Fans4Creators, a creator may use one or more third-party services.

Fans4Creators app directory provides information about many of these third-party services, though it is not exhaustive as creators may also use other services. You should review the privacy policies of these third-party services in order to understand how they collect, use, and share personal data.
Information Shared with Communities on Fans4Creators
By subscribing, purchasing a membership or offering on Fans4Creators that is offered by a creator, otherwise engaging with or becoming a Fans4Creators of a creator, or by creating a creator page yourself, you are joining a Fans4Creators community associated with that creator. This community is comprised of the creator and people who have subscribed to, purchased a membership or offering on Fans4Creators that is offered by, or otherwise engaged with or become a Fans4Creators of that creator, including those who subscribed to that creator for free. You agree to share personal data with that community that may include:
your full name in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your avatar image in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your biographical description in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your connected social media accounts in your Fans4Creators profile for that community;
your subscription, membership tier, or other recurring payment related to the creator associated with that community;
the offerings you’ve purchased on Fans4Creators related to the creator associated with that community;
how long you’ve supported the creator associated with that community, including the date you first purchased an offering and/or started each subscription and/or membership tier related to that creator;
the communities on Fans4Creators to which you and the person viewing your community profile both belong;
the chat rooms on Fans4Creators in which you and the person viewing your community profile both are or have been present; and
your status in that community, including awards and badges you’ve received and any moderator or other roles you have.
This personal data may be displayed in your community profile, which may have more information than your public profile and is visible to fellow community members. You can learn more about the personal data that may be shared with communities on Fans4Creators, including in community profiles, and your associated controls over that data in our Help Center. If you disable your community profile in your settings, then your public profile, which is described below, may be displayed to fellow community members.
When you comment on a post, like a post or message, react to a post or message, join a chat room, send a chat message, express interest in an event, join an event experience, and take other community actions you are visible to the associated sections of those Fans4Creators communities. When you are typing a message in a chat room or other community space, this may be displayed to the other people in that chat room or community space. Comments, messages, likes, and reactions in community spaces are visible to the associated Fans4Creators community and community members who later join the associated community space may be able to see the full history of comments, messages, likes, and reactions. For example, chat messages sent to a community chat room or community event experience are visible to the sections of that community associated with the chat room or event. Similarly, comments, likes, and reactions related to a post visible to a community are visible to the sections of that associated community that can see that post. If the visibility of a post or community space later changes, then the visibility of the associated comments, messages, likes, and reactions may also change along with it. For example, if a post is later made available to a larger section of a Fans4Creators community, then the comments, likes, and reactions on that post may also become available to that section of that Fans4Creators community.

The following information may be publicly accessible or otherwise shared with members of the public and you can learn more in our Help Center:
Aggregated and otherwise non-personal data, including aggregated usage data in blog posts, press releases, or other ways to share information about Fans4Creators usage and business.
Comments, likes, and other reactions inherit the visibility of the associated post or message. Accordingly, comments, likes, and reactions on public posts or messages are public and comments, likes, and reactions on posts or messages with limited visibility are visible to the audience of users to whom the author has made the post or message available. If a non-public post or message is later made public, then the comments, likes, and reactions on that post or message may also become public.

Information Shared with Third Parties
We never sell your information to third parties. Other than information that is shared with creators, shared with communities on Fans4Creators, or shared with members of the public, we will only share data with third parties under the following circumstances:
Fans4Creators service providers: these are companies that are contractually engaged with us to provide us with services, including cloud hosting, content distribution, security, order fulfillment, email and document management, internal communication/chat, analytics, credit card processing, multi-currency settlement solutions, and fraud detection and prevention. We may share your personal data with such service providers subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and on the condition that these third parties use your personal data only on Fans4Creators behalf and pursuant to our instructions (service providers may use other non-personal data for their own benefit).
Government and law enforcement agencies
Tax reporting: to satisfy obligations to report information to tax authorities, including reporting information about creators’ earnings on Fans4Creators, tax identification information, and information related to transactional taxes such as Valued Added Tax, Goods and Services Tax, other local service or sales taxes in non-US locations, and state sales tax in the United States.
Legal process and law enforcement: to protect the security or integrity of Fans4Creators, as well as to protect the rights, property, and safety of Fans4Creators, its employees, Fans4Creators, creators, or others, or if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or other valid legal process (e.g. subpoenas or warrants served on Fans4Creators). When legally permitted to do so, and under appropriate circumstances, Fans4Creators will endeavor to notify you (typically by email) when we intend to release your data pursuant to a valid government request, law-enforcement request, or other legal process.
Any third parties connected with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or reorganization of our company: in such a circumstance the promises in this Privacy Policy apply to any data transferred to a new entity.
Payment partners: to make sure Fans4Creators is a safe community for everyone, Fans4Creators is required to have all creators sharing sexually explicit creations or creations that include nudity verify that they are over the age of 18, agree to obtain consent from each person depicted in their creations, and agree to verify that each such person is over the age of 18. Upon request from a payment partner, Fans4Creators may share the information used to verify that such an Adult/18+ creator is over the age of 18 with the requesting payment partner in order to demonstrate compliance with their rules. With respect to people depicted in Adult/18+ creations, Fans4Creators does not collect this age verification or consent information directly and instead provides creators with a consent form template that they may use for this purpose. When it is necessary to do so, however, Fans4Creators may request that creators provide this information to Fans4Creators. Upon request from a payment partner, Fans4Creators may thereafter share this information with the requesting payment partner in order to demonstrate compliance with their rules.
Individuals to whom you’ve granted teammate permissions: team accounts is a feature that Fans4Creators makes available to some creators to help them use a team of people to manage their creator page. Team accounts are comprised of a single team lead role and a number of teammate roles. The team lead is the primary owner of the account and can add and remove teammates who have access to perform a subset of actions with respect to the applicable creator page and manage a subset of the information about that creator page. Please review our Help Center for more information about the scope of permissions that are granted with the teammate role. If you choose to grant anyone teammate access to a creator page, then Fans4Creators will follow your instructions and grant the access or permission that you’ve selected.
