Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Clicke.Me ("Clicke.Me," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our websites, apps, and services (collectively, the Platform). We operate a global service and apply this single policy worldwide, with regional rights notices where required by law.

Quick summary (not a substitute for the full policy): We collect account details, profile content, and usage analytics to provide and secure Clicke.Me. We may process payments and creator payouts through third‑party providers. We respect regional privacy rights (e.g., GDPR, CPRA) and recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC). You can request access, deletion, correction, and opt out of targeted advertising and “sale/share” where applicable.

  2. Marketing preferences and consent status (if you opt in)

G. Cookies & similar technologies

  1. Cookies, SDKs, pixels, and local storage for core functionality, analytics, and (where enabled) advertising/retargeting. See Section 12 and our Cookie Notice: [Insert Cookie Notice URL].

We do not intentionally collect special categories of data (e.g., health, biometrics) and ask you not to upload such data. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 18.

4) Sources of information

  1. You (when you create an account, use features, contact us)
  2. Automatically (when you use the Platform)
  3. Third parties: payment processors and payout/KYC providers; social login providers (if used); analytics, security/fraud and support tools; publicly available sources. We do not buy data from brokers.

5) How we use information (purposes & legal bases)

We process personal information for:

  1. Provide the service & account management (create/manage accounts, profiles, link‑in‑bio pages, analytics dashboards, newsletters, comments/DMs, AI tools, mobile apps) – Contract.
  2. Payments & creator payouts (process purchases, donations/tips, digital goods, subscriptions, and payouts/KYC) – Contract and Legal obligation.
  3. Personalization & recommendations (e.g., ordering, layout, suggested features/links) – Legitimate interests or Consent where required.
  4. Analytics & product improvement (usage statistics, performance, A/B testing) – Legitimate interests and Consent where required.
  5. Security & fraud prevention (detect abuse, spam, malware; protect accounts and the Platform) – Legitimate interests and Legal obligation.
  6. Marketing communications (newsletters, updates, offers) – Consent (opt‑in where required). You can unsubscribe anytime.
  7. Compliance & enforcement (tax/AML/KYC, regulatory and legal requests, terms enforcement) – Legal obligation and Legitimate interests.

Where we rely on consent (e.g., certain cookies, marketing, or region‑specific requirements), you can withdraw it at any time via settings, the cookie banner, or by contacting us.

6) AI features & moderation

We may offer AI‑assisted features (e.g., link suggestions, copy/image generation, moderation assistance). We use reputable AI providers and do not allow providers to train foundational models on your personal data without your consent. We may use automated tools to help flag potentially harmful content, but we do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you solely by automated processing.

7) Sharing your information

We share information only as necessary to operate and improve the Platform:

  1. Hosting/CDN & infrastructure (e.g., Cloudflare, cloud hosting providers)
  2. Payments & payouts (payment processors, payout/KYC providers)
  3. Analytics, diagnostics, crash reporting
  4. Customer support & communications (email/SMS providers)
  5. Security & fraud prevention
  6. Professional advisors (lawyers, auditors) and authorities where legally required

We may publish and maintain a current list of key subprocessors here: https://clicke.me/page/subprocessors.

We do not sell your personal information for money. In some regions (e.g., California), certain analytics/advertising disclosures may be considered a "sale" or "share"; see Section 14 for how to opt out and how we honor GPC signals.

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to a successor under appropriate safeguards and notice where required.

8) International transfers

We operate globally. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required (e.g., transfers from the EEA/UK to the US), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK Addendum, conduct transfer impact assessments, and implement additional safeguards.

9) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it. Typical periods:

  1. Account data: life of the account + up to 24 months
  2. Logs/IPs: 12–18 months
  3. Click & analytics events: configurable; default 24–26 months (aggregated/anonymized statistics may be kept longer for trend analysis)
  4. Tax/finance records: 7–10 years (as required by law)

We may retain data longer if necessary to comply with law, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.

10) Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, least‑privilege access, multi‑factor authentication for internal systems, logging/monitoring, and periodic reviews. No system is perfectly secure; if we detect a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and regulators where required by law.

Vulnerability disclosure: report issues to [email protected].

11) Your choices

  1. Account settings: update profile/details, manage visibility, and delete content.
  2. Marketing: opt in/out using settings or the unsubscribe link.
  3. Cookies: manage via our banner and your browser/device settings (see Cookie Notice).
  4. Targeted advertising / sale/share: see Section 14 for region‑specific controls and GPC.

12) Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies/SDKs/pixels to run the Platform, keep you signed in, measure performance, and (where enabled) for advertising/retargeting. In regions that require it (e.g., EEA/UK), we obtain opt‑in consent for non‑essential cookies. In the US, we offer opt‑out mechanisms.

See our Cookie Notice (types, purposes, retention) and a living cookie list here: https://clicke.me/page/cookies.

13) Children

Clicke.Me is intended for users 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us to request deletion.

15) Third‑party services and links

Profiles may include links to third‑party sites, social platforms, app stores, e‑commerce or affiliate offers. Interactions with those services are governed by their own policies and terms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Where you use social login, the social platform may share certain details per your settings.

16) Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

Where we process End User data on your behalf (e.g., subscribers, customers), our Data Processing Addendum applies and is incorporated by reference. See: [Insert DPA URL].

17) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, if changes are material, provide additional notice (e.g., email or in‑product). Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date means you accept the changes.
