This Privacy Policy explains how Clareo ("Clareo," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information submitted through the Clareo website, creator onboarding forms, research surveys, and related services (together, the "Services").
Clareo is currently in an early research and development stage. Our current forms are primarily intended to help us understand the creator ecosystem, creator experiences, and the requirements for Clareo's future services.
By using our website or submitting information to Clareo, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Depending on the form you complete, Clareo may collect the following categories of information:
Where you voluntarily provide it, we may also collect:
We aim to collect only information that is reasonably relevant to our research, creator onboarding, product development, and potential creator opportunities. We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through our current creator research form.
We collect information for the following purposes:
Information submitted through our research forms may be analyzed individually for internal research, and may also be combined with other responses to identify broader trends. For example, Clareo may analyze information to determine:
Where we publish research findings, we intend to use aggregated or anonymized information and will not publicly identify individual respondents unless we have separately obtained their permission to do so.
If you voluntarily choose to join the Clareo creator network, the information you provide may be used to assess whether you may be relevant for future brand or creator opportunities.
Joining the Clareo network does not guarantee that you will receive a campaign, partnership, payment, or any other commercial opportunity. We will not represent that you have been selected for a brand opportunity unless that opportunity has actually been confirmed.
If you provide contact information and consent to communication from Clareo, we may contact you regarding:
You may request that we stop contacting you at any time. Research participation does not require you to agree to marketing communications unless the relevant form clearly asks for, and receives, that consent.
Clareo may use submitted information for:
We will not use information for purposes that are materially unrelated to the purpose communicated to you at the time of collection, without an appropriate legal basis or further notice where required.
Our current creator research form is not intended to collect:
Please do not submit this type of information through Clareo's research forms.
Clareo does not sell your personal information.
We may use third-party technology providers to operate our website, forms, databases, hosting, analytics, communications, and related infrastructure. For example, information submitted through our website may be stored using cloud infrastructure or database services used by Clareo. These providers may process information on our behalf solely for the purpose of providing their services to us.
We do not permit third parties to use creator research information for their own unrelated marketing purposes.
Our creator application and research data may be stored using cloud database infrastructure, including Firebase Firestore. Access to submitted information is restricted through appropriate technical controls, and we do not make the creator database publicly accessible.
We aim to use reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information. However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including research, product development, creator network management, communication, security, and legal compliance.
Where information is no longer reasonably required, Clareo may delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it. We may retain aggregated or anonymized information for longer periods, as such information is no longer intended to identify an individual.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
To exercise a privacy-related request, please contact us using the details in Section 16.
Where consent is the basis for processing, withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal. The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act expressly provides for withdrawal of consent and requires processing to cease within the applicable framework where continued processing is not otherwise authorized.
Our current creator research and onboarding activities are intended for individuals who are legally able to participate in the relevant activity. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through our current creator research form.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information to Clareo, please contact us so that we can review, and where appropriate, delete the information.
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, analytics, or improving user experience. Where required, we will provide appropriate choices or notices regarding such technologies.
Our website or communications may contain links to third-party websites or social media platforms. Clareo is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites. You should review the privacy policies of those services before providing them with information.
As Clareo develops, our data practices may change. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, research activities, technology, applicable law, or data processing practices. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
