3. How We Use Personal Data

We process personal data to:

Create and manage your account and provide the Service.
Authenticate users, detect fraud, and secure accounts.
Host, process, transcode, and distribute your uploaded content.
Enable creator monetization features including ad revenue share, paid subscriptions, premium content sales, and affiliate tools.
Process creator payouts, perform KYC identity verification, fulfill tax reporting obligations, and prevent payout fraud.
Serve ads using our internal advertiser system based on contextual signals and platform usage. We do not sell your personal data to third-party advertisers.
Personalize content recommendations, search results, and the user experience.
Send you service notifications, security alerts, policy updates, and (where you have opted in) marketing communications.
Respond to support requests, enforce these Terms, and resolve disputes.
Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, illegal activity, and policy violations.
Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Conduct internal analytics, audits, and product improvement.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on:

Contract performance: to provide the Service, manage your account, and process payouts.
Legitimate interests: platform safety, fraud prevention, product improvement, and marketing analytics, balanced against your rights and interests.
Consent: for cookies and marketing communications where required by law. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting lawfulness of prior processing.
Legal obligation: to comply with tax, financial, law enforcement, and other regulatory requirements.
Vital interests or public interest where applicable in limited circumstances.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies for:

Essential functionality: session management, login state, and security.
Analytics and performance: understanding how the Service is used to improve it.
Personalization: tailoring content recommendations based on your activity.
Advertising: serving ads through our internal advertiser system using contextual and platform-usage signals.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or any consent management tool we provide. Blocking essential cookies may impair Service functionality.

We may share personal data with:

Service providers: hosting, content delivery, cloud storage, customer support, content moderation, fraud prevention, analytics, and communication services, bound by confidentiality and data-processing obligations.
Payment and KYC providers: to process creator payouts, collect tax documentation, verify identity, and prevent financial fraud.
Internal advertiser system: ad serving uses platform-usage data internally. We do not share identifiable personal data with third-party ad buyers.
Law enforcement, regulators, courts, or government agencies: where required by law, legal process, or to protect the safety of our users or the public.
Professional advisors: lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers under confidentiality obligations.
Corporate transaction parties: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality protections.

We do not sell personal data for money. If any "sharing" of data for cross-context behavioral advertising is considered a "sale" or "share" under applicable law (including the CCPA/CPRA), we provide rights and opt-out controls as described in Section 11.

7. Creator KYC and Payout Data

Creators who apply for monetization must provide identity verification information (such as government-issued ID and tax forms) as required by law and by our payment processors. This data is:

used solely for identity verification, payout processing, and tax compliance;
shared only with our payment processors and relevant tax authorities;
retained for the periods required by applicable financial, tax, and anti-money-laundering laws.

8. Paid and Mature Content

Purchase records for paid or premium content, including mature-themed content, are processed for transaction fulfillment, fraud prevention, and chargebacks. Viewing history for paid content is treated as sensitive usage data and is not used for external advertising targeting.

9. User Content Visibility

Profile information, usernames, and uploaded content may be publicly visible depending on your account and content settings. Do not upload sensitive personal data you do not wish to be publicly accessible.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

Account data: for the lifetime of your account plus a reasonable period after deletion for safety, fraud, legal, and backup purposes.
Payout and tax data: for the periods required by applicable tax, financial, and anti-money-laundering laws (typically 7 years).
Log and security data: typically 90 days to 12 months depending on type.
Legal holds: longer where required by active investigations, litigation, or regulatory requests.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal retention schedules.

11. Your Privacy Rights

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

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Delete your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
Restrict or object to certain types of processing.
Data portability - receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based.
Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Non-discrimination - we will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any right, contact: privacy@clipraze.com

We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically 30-45 days). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

11.1 California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to:

Know what categories of personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell.
Access specific personal information collected about them.
Delete personal information, subject to exceptions.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
Limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information where applicable.
Non-discrimination for exercising CCPA rights.

To submit a California privacy request: privacy@clipraze.com

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will require verification of the agent's authority.

12. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms.

13. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include access controls, encryption in transit (TLS), hashed password storage, and security monitoring. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Children and COPPA

The Service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that data promptly and disable the associated account, unless retention is required by law.
Parents or guardians who believe a child under 13 has provided personal data to us should contact privacy@clipraze.com immediately.
For users between 13 and the age of majority, parental consent and supervision is required per our Terms of Service.

15. Do Not Track

Our Service does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals because no universal standard for such signals has been adopted. We honor legally required opt-out preference signals where applicable under California or other law.

16. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, payment processors, and social platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last Updated" date and posting notice on the Service. Where required by law, we will notify you directly. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
