Privacy notice
Pre-alpha notice: This plain-language draft should receive appropriate legal review before broad marketing. Privacy requests may be sent to bhavczar@gmail.com.
Information collected
CloutCulture stores the name and email you submit, a one-way password hash, age and terms confirmations, account-role status, vote and streak records, nominations, creator applications and claims, organization and campaign requests, creator connections, poll and ballot choices, mission submissions, timestamps, and limited security records. Creator and Brand intake may include public profile or organization URLs, follower ranges, business contact emails, objectives, deliverables, and budget ranges. IP addresses are converted into keyed hashes for rate limiting and audit review rather than displayed publicly.
How it is used
Information operates accounts and dashboards, reviews Creator and Brand access, prevents duplicate or automated activity, calculates rankings and rewards, moderates submissions, structures and verifies creator missions, improves the product, and produces aggregated analytics. Public rankings do not display voter or private business email addresses.
Sharing
Private voter identities are not sold. Data may be shared with service providers needed to host and secure the product, with campaign participants only as required for an accepted campaign and disclosed terms, or when legally required. Submitting a private brief does not make it public.
Future Czulture identity
The account uses a durable internal UUID that may later connect to a shared Czulture sign-in system. CloutCulture and czulture.com do not yet share login sessions. Any future cross-product data use should be disclosed before activation.
Retention and choices
Pre-alpha records are retained while needed for product integrity, disputes, security, and analysis. Users may request access, correction, or deletion through the published operator contact, subject to legal and fraud-prevention retention needs.
Security and age
Passwords are hashed and sessions use secure cookie controls when HTTPS is active. No system is perfectly secure. The pre-alpha is limited to users 18 and older.
