Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CreatorDirectory ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use creatordirectory.io (the "Site").

1. Who We Are

CreatorDirectory is an online discovery and advertising platform that helps users find independent content creators. We do not host or sell adult content ourselves — we link to creators' own profiles on third-party platforms.

Data controller contact: CreatorDirectory LLC, Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra 73, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia — legal@creatordirectory.io

2. Age Restriction

This Site is intended for users aged 18 and over only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us using the details above and we will take steps to remove it.

3. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Account/agency registration details (name, email, business information)
  • Profile information submitted for listing on the Site (display name, bio, images, category tags, pricing information)
  • Communications you send us

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data via cookies and analytics tools (see our [Cookie Policy])
  • IP address and approximate location, for fraud prevention and to operate our click-tracking/redirect system
  • Device and browser information

Information related to advertising:

  • Click data on tracked links, used to calculate billing for advertisers and detect fraudulent activity (e.g. bot traffic, duplicate clicks)

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Process and rank advertising placements (our bidding/auction system)
  • Bill advertisers accurately for genuine clicks and prevent fraud
  • Communicate with account holders about their listings
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Analyse aggregate visitor behaviour to improve content and search relevance

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where UK/EU data protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (operating advertiser accounts), legitimate interests (fraud prevention, site analytics, security), and consent (non-essential cookies, marketing communications where applicable).

6. Sharing of Information

We share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site (hosting, database, analytics providers — currently Vercel, Supabase, and Google Analytics)
  • Legal/regulatory authorities where required by law

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

7. International Data Transfers

Depending on where you access the Site from and where our service providers and operating entity are located, your information may be transferred outside your home country. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Site, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Advertising/transaction records are retained as required for financial and tax record-keeping purposes.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 2.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
