Short Version
At PaidInfluencers.co, we care about your privacy. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent. We do not disclose it to others except to provide you with the services available on and through the Platform, meaning allowing you to buy and sell services, share the information you want to share on the Platform, pay for or receive products, post reviews, and interact with other features of the Platform.
We collect information that you provide us or voluntarily share with other users and some general technical information that is automatically gathered by our systems or third-party service providers, such as IP address, browser information, and cookies, to enable you to have a better user experience and a more personalized browsing experience.
Information you choose to publish on the Platform is not private, just like any information you publish online.
Technical information gathered by our systems, or third-party systems, automatically may be used for Platform operation, optimization, analytics, content promotion, and user experience enhancement. We may use your information to contact you – to provide notices related to your activities, provide general updates, or offer you promotions related to our services – but we will not let any other person, including sellers and buyers, contact you other than through your user account.
The above are just the highlights. We encourage you to read more about the information we collect, how we use it, understand the meaning of cookies (no, you can’t eat it), and more in the long and boring version of our privacy policy below.
