Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how built4creators (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use our website and services.

---

Who we are

built4creators provides creator signup and account services and may provide tools that help creators share storefront experiences with their audiences. In UK data protection terms, we act as a data controller for personal data collected on our website and in our creator signup flow.

What data we collect

• Account and signup data: name (if provided), email address, login and membership details, and basic account preferences.
• Payment data: payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card details. We may store Stripe customer IDs, payment status, invoices/receipts, and related billing metadata.
• Support and contact data: messages you send us, plus any information you choose to include.
• Technical data: IP address, device and browser type, and basic log data used for security, fraud prevention, and service reliability.
• Cookies and similar technologies: we use essential cookies to run the site (for example, to keep you signed in). If we use analytics, it will be configured to minimise personal data where possible.

How we use your data

• To create and manage your account and membership access.
• To provide the service and respond to support requests.
• To process payments, manage subscriptions, and send receipts or billing notices.
• To maintain security, prevent abuse, and keep the site reliable.
• To improve the product (for example, by measuring performance and fixing bugs).

Our lawful bases for processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases:

• Contract: where processing is necessary to provide the service you sign up for.
• Legal obligation: where we must keep records for tax/accounting or comply with lawful requests.
• Legitimate interests: to secure and improve our service, prevent fraud/abuse, and maintain operational logs (balanced against your rights).
• Consent: where required (for example, certain non-essential cookies or optional marketing). You can withdraw consent at any time.

Payments (Stripe)

We use Stripe to process payments. Stripe acts as an independent controller for the payment information it processes. We receive confirmation of payment status and limited billing information needed to run your subscription and provide customer support.

Emails and communications

We send service emails that are necessary to run your account (for example: verification, receipts, password resets, important service notices). If we ever send marketing emails, you will have a clear opt-out and we will only do so where permitted by law.

Affiliate links and third parties

built4creators may enable affiliate links or integrations. When you click an affiliate link, the third-party merchant may set their own cookies or tracking. We do not control third-party sites. Please review their policies before purchasing or providing personal data.

Sharing your data

We may share data with trusted service providers only where needed to run built4creators, such as:

• Payment processing: Stripe
• Website hosting and infrastructure: our hosting providers and security services
• Email delivery: transactional email providers (for account and billing messages)
• Analytics (optional): if enabled, used to understand performance and improve the service

We do not sell your personal data.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your data in line with UK GDPR requirements.

How long we keep your data

• Account data: kept while your account is active, then for a reasonable period to handle support and legal obligations.
• Billing records: kept as required for tax/accounting and dispute handling.
• Support messages: kept for as long as needed to resolve issues and improve service quality.
• Security logs: retained for a limited period for security and abuse prevention.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

You have rights including:

• Access to your personal data
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion (where applicable)
• Restriction or objection to certain processing
• Data portability (where applicable)
• Withdrawal of consent (where processing is based on consent)
