This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process personal information your personal information and explains the rights and choices available to individuals with respect to their information. This Privacy Policy applies if you visit our websites at Gifter.ly, app.gifter.ly or any other website to which we post this privacy policy (the “Sites”); use our services through a customer administrator account; or receive our communications. For convenience, we refer to the Sites and our services collectively as the “Service”. Please note that we may provide additional or supplemental privacy notices to individuals at the time we collect their data.
We provide services that businesses use to connect individuals, businesses and agencies in the marketing industry for the express, but not limited purposes of working on influencer marketing projects. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information collected, used or shared by our customers or that we handle on our customers’ behalf. Our customers have their own policies for how they handle personal information, and our contracts with our customers restrict how we use information that we handle on their behalf. You should contact the relevant customer if you have questions, concerns or requests regarding personal information that the customer handles or that we handle on its behalf.
Any questions or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, including any requests in respect to your personal data that we process, including the removal of your personal data and disconnection of any social media accounts, can be sent by post to the below-stated address or emailed to [email protected].

We provide our Services to social media creators and brand customers. The information we collect will depend on whether you are a creator or a brand customer. The information we collect is:
Special category (sensitive) personal data
We do not knowingly act as the controller of any ‘special category’ personal data, i.e. information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership(s), genetic or biometric data, or information about your sexual orientation or sex life.
Information about creators that we may gather, organize, and store on behalf of our Brand Customers in providing our Services to Brand Customers include name(s), email address(es), handles of and posts on their social media and content-sharing platform accounts (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snap, YouTube, Vimeo and Pinterest) and follower/subscriber counts, profile pictures and any photographs, or audio/visual media made publicly available online that may feature the relevant creator, current state/country and/or town/city of residence, language spoken, and other information made publicly available online by that creator.
Although we are the controller of your information that we process if you are a Brand Customer or Creator Customer, we are not a controller of information about potential creators that we gather, organize, and store when providing our services to brand customers. In those circumstances, the brand customers who have instructed us to undertake web scraping on their behalf are the controllers of that information. This is because the web scraping is done for the brand customers’ purposes and not our own purposes.
This means that, if you think we are processing personal information about you in your capacity as a Potential Creator, you should direct any queries or concerns about how your personal information is handled in this way to the relevant brand customer, since we are simply processing that information on that brand customer’s behalf. If you are a potential creator and are concerned about any personal information that we obtain via web scraping, please note that this information could be found by anybody with access to the Internet and, in the case of information gathered from your social media and content-sharing platforms, you have ultimate control over what information you choose to make publicly available on those platforms.
We use your personal information for the following purposes and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection:
We use your personal information:
We analyze use of the Service to study trends and users’ movements around the Service, gather demographic information about our user base, improve the Service and develop new products and services.
We may send you promotions, newsletters or other marketing communications, but you may opt out of receiving them as described in the Opt out of marketing section below.
We may create aggregated and other anonymous data from our users’ information. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties to understand and improve the Service, promote our business and for other lawful business purposes.
We may use your personal information and share it with government officials, law enforcement or private parties, as we believe appropriate to:
We do not share your personal information with third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances or as described in this Privacy Policy:
We may share your personal information with parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates for use consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may share your personal information with third party companies and individuals as needed for them to provide us with services that help us provide the Service or support our business activities (such as website analytics, email delivery, marketing/advertising, IT providers, technical support, and legal and other professional advice). We authorize these third parties to access your personal information to the extent reasonably necessary for them to provide their services and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, and these third parties are prohibited from using or disclosing your information for any other purpose.
For online payments and/or Automated Clearing House (ACH) payouts, we use the payment services of Stripe. We do not process, record or maintain your credit card or bank account information and we will share transaction data with our payment services providers only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing your payments, refunding such payments and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments and refunds.
Certain functionality of the Service may permit interactions that you initiate between the Service and a third party website or service (“Third Party Interactions”). Examples of Third Party Interactions may include technology that enables you to “like” or “share” content from the Service on or to other websites or services; to transmit content to the Service from your account on a third party website or service; to otherwise connect the Service to a third party website or service, such as through an application programming interface (API) made available by us or a third party; or for users to register for an account and login through social networking sites such as Facebook and Google (each an “SNS”). By registering or logging in through a SNS, you are allowing the Service to access your information and you are agreeing to the SNS’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy in your use of such services. We may receive information from the SNS to make it easier for you to create an account with us. Any information that we collect from your SNS account may depend on the privacy settings you have with that SNS, so please consult the SNS’s privacy and data practices.
If you choose to use Third Party Interactions, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Service or by the provider of the social feature that you use. Similarly, if you post information on a third party platform that references the Service (e.g., by mentioning one of the Service or using a hashtag associated with the Service in a tweet or status update), your post may be published on our Sites in accordance with the terms of the third party website or service. Also, both we and the third party may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Service and the third party website or service. In addition, we may receive information about you in connection with other users’ use of Third Party Interactions (e.g., we may learn that you are a “friend” or “connection” of the third party or receive other information about you that the other user enables us to receive).
The information we collect in connection with Third Party Interactions is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party website or service.
The Service may provide you the opportunity to participate and post User Content publicly through reviews, surveys, interactive features, or other communication functionality (“Community Features”). We may provide functionality for you to submit or post User Content through Community Features, by linking the Service to a third party service, or otherwise. Please note that certain information, such as your name, may be publicly displayed on the Service along with your User Content. User Content consisting of uploaded files may contain metadata, which may contain Personal Information or other information about or relating to you. You may wish to remove metadata from your files before transmitting such files to us.
Note that anything you post through Community Features is public – others will have access to your User Content and may use it or share it with third parties. If you choose to voluntarily disclose Personal Information, that information will be considered public information and the protections of this Privacy Policy will not apply. If you submit User Content, it may be published online or offline at any time. In addition, we may use your User Content and any excerpt from your User Content in connection with our advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional activities. Note also that publicly posted information may be indexed on search provider and other websites. As outlined in the Third party sites and services section below, we do not control third party websites, applications or services, and are not responsible for their actions.
We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
We may share your personal information for the compliance, fraud prevention and safety purposes described above.
We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business deal (or potential business deal) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution. In such a case, we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at Gifter.ly and app.gifter.ly or any other site to which we post this Cookie Policy (the “Sites”).
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience.
Cookies set by the site you visit are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the one you are currently visiting are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality within the site, such as site analytics, advertising and social media features. The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the site in question and when it visits certain other sites and/or mobile apps. We do not control how these third parties use your information, which is subject to their own privacy policies. See the table below for details on use of third party cookies and similar technologies with our Sites.
The length of time a cookie will stay on your device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your browsing device after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted.
Cookies are not the only way to track visitors to a site or app. Companies use tiny graphics files with unique identifiers called web beacons (and also “pixels” or “clear gifs”) to recognize when someone visits its sites. These technologies often depend on cookies to function properly, and so disabling cookies may impair their functioning.
Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly.
For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. You can also opt-out of tracking through certain third-party advertising and analytics cookies by using the opt out services provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative. We are not affiliated with and are not responsible for these third party websites.
For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.
Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.
In this section, we describe the rights and choices available to all users.
If you have registered for an account with us, you may review, update, correct, or delete the personal information in your account profile by contacting us at [email protected].
You may opt out of marketing-related emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the email. You may continue to receive Service-related and other non-marketing emails. Opting out of emails or other communications related to contests or promotions may terminate your eligibility to participate in those contests or promotions. Be sure to check the relevant contest or promotion rules before you opt out.
We may allow service providers and other third parties to use cookies and similar technologies to track your browsing activity over time and across the Service and third party websites. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.
Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities of the Service may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behaviour or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising.
Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioural advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
Where we are required by law to collect your personal information, or where we need your personal information in order to provide the Service to you, if you do not provide this information when requested (or you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with our services. We will tell you what information you must provide to receive the Service by designating it as required in the Service or on the Sites or through other appropriate means.
The Service enables you to interact with or post content to certain third parties and SNSs. If you would like to discontinue these interactions and connections, please refer to the privacy settings of the third party or SNS to determine how you may adjust our permissions and manage the interactivity between the Services and your social media account.
If we transfer your personal information from the European Economic Area to a country outside of it and are required to apply additional safeguards to your personal information under European data protection legislation, we will do so, for instance, by entering into standard contractual clauses for the transfer of data as approved by the European Commission. Please contact us for further information about any such transfers and the safeguards applied.
This privacy policy was last updated in March 2023.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time as necessary to comply with law or for legitimate business purposes. Any changes we make to this Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to this Privacy Policy.
