Privacy Policy
At Arif Promotion, your privacy and data security are our top priorities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information within our creator marketplace ecosystem.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you register as a creator or a business, we collect basic details to establish your identity:
- Full names and usernames
- Email addresses and contact information
- Social media profile links (TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram)
- Company data and industry niches (for businesses)
User Content
We store the content you voluntarily upload to facilitate campaigns and portfolios:
- Portfolio files, media, and past campaign results
- Verification documents and analytics screenshots
- Campaign briefs, budgets, and descriptions
- Messages and attachments sent through our internal communication system
Technical Information
To ensure platform stability and security, our systems automatically log:
- IP addresses and access locations
- Browser types, device information, and operating systems
- Session data and standard web cookies
- Activity logs (e.g., login times, button clicks, page views)
2. How Data is Used
We strictly use your data to operate and improve the Arif Promotion platform. This includes:
- Account Management: Providing you access to your dashboard, packages, and campaigns.
- Verification: Reviewing uploaded screenshots and documents to grant verified badges.
- Recommendations: Optimizing our marketplace search and recommending relevant creators to brands based on niches and reach.
- Notifications: Sending critical alerts about new applications, hire requests, or messages.
- Security & Abuse Prevention: Analyzing activity logs to detect spam, fake accounts, or fraudulent metrics.
- Analytics: Understanding platform usage trends to improve our features.
3. Handling of File Uploads
Our platform allows the upload of sensitive files such as logged-in analytics screenshots, portfolio media, and business verification documents. These files are stored securely on our servers. Public portfolio media is accessible via your public profile, while internal verification screenshots and private chat attachments remain strictly confidential and are only accessible by you, the recipient, and our moderation team.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Data is only shared in highly limited circumstances:
- Between Users: When you apply for a campaign or send a hire request, your public profile data and relevant private messages are shared with the collaborating party.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by Ethiopian law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users.
5. Your User Rights
You have complete control over your profile. You may access, update, or correct your personal information directly through your dashboard settings. If you wish to permanently delete your account and all associated data, you may submit an account deletion request to our support team.
6. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies for practical purposes: to keep you logged in securely, remember your dashboard preferences, and protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. We do not use aggressive third-party tracking networks.
7. Data Security
We utilize modern security safeguards, including encrypted database connections, secure password hashing, and restricted server access, to protect your data. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
