Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-21
This Privacy Policy explains, in simple terms, how Adopt a Bill may collect, use, store, and share personal data during the closed beta. This is a baseline policy and should be reviewed and completed with your final company, vendor, and compliance details before public launch.
Who is responsible for this service
The controller for the service is: [Company / Operator Name], [postal address], [country], email: [privacy email].
What data we may collect
Depending on how you use the service, we may process account and contact details, profile information, public page content, creator settings, item and request metadata, follower actions, reports, payment-proof records, billing-related records for creator subscriptions, technical logs, device and browser data, security events, and optional push notification subscription data.
Why we use personal data
We use personal data to create and secure accounts, operate creator pages, show support activity, review reports and payment proofs, prevent fraud and abuse, manage creator subscriptions, respond to requests, improve product performance, and maintain the overall safety and reliability of the platform.
Legal bases
Where applicable, we process data because it is necessary to provide the service you request, to comply with legal obligations, to pursue our legitimate interests in running and securing the platform, or because you have given consent for a specific feature such as optional notifications.
External payment providers
Supporter-to-creator payments are completed through third-party services chosen by creators. Once you leave our site to make a payment, the privacy notice and terms of that external provider apply to the payment itself. We may still receive or store limited related information, such as a claim status, a proof submission, a dispute, or a subscription event for creator billing.
How we may share data
We may share data with service providers that help us host, authenticate, store, secure, notify, analyze, or bill for the service. We may also share information with advisors, authorities, or counterparties when required by law, to enforce our policies, to investigate fraud or safety issues, or as part of a business reorganization, acquisition, or asset transfer.
Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including account administration, safety review, legal compliance, dispute handling, recordkeeping, and backup or audit needs. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of data and the reason it was collected.
Your rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to receive a portable copy where applicable. You may also withdraw consent for consent-based processing without affecting earlier processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we will rely on appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as contractual protections or other lawful mechanisms.
Children
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect or allow creator use by anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal data to the service, contact us so we can investigate and remove the information where appropriate.
Contact and complaints
For privacy requests, contact [privacy email]. If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
