4. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information:

  • With Creators — When you make a purchase or upload content featuring them.
  • With Service Providers — Payment processors, hosting services, advertising, analytics providers, and verification services.
  • For Legal or Safety Reasons — To comply with law or protect rights, property, or safety.
  • During Business Transfers — As part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • With Your Consent — As otherwise directed by you.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, prevent fraud, support security, and measure marketing effectiveness. Where required by law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You may control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable laws, including to access, correct, or delete your personal information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; and receive your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, contact us at Legal@fanacopia.com.

7. Privacy rights for EEA, UK, and Swiss users

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and similar laws. Subject to applicable law, these rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and the right to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your country of residence.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@fanacopia.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to a request. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Legal bases for processing personal information

For users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases: performance of a contract to provide the Services and maintain accounts; legitimate interests to operate, secure, improve, and promote Fanacopia, prevent fraud, enforce our Terms, and understand how users interact with the Services; legal obligations to comply with applicable law, tax, accounting, payment, regulatory, and platform safety obligations; and consent where required by law.

9. California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Fanacopia does not sell personal information as defined under CCPA.

10. Data retention

We retain personal information as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Some transaction data may be retained for at least 7 years for regulatory compliance as required by law.

11. International data transfers

Fanacopia is based in the United States. If you access or use the Services from outside the United States, your personal information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where Fanacopia, its service providers, or payment processors operate. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information, which may include contractual protections or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

12. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, but no method is 100% secure. You use the Services at your own risk.

13. Children's privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent.

14. Account deletion and data requests

You may request deletion of your Fanacopia account by emailing privacy@fanacopia.com or by using the account deletion tools available in the app, if available. When you request account deletion, we will delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account, subject to information we are required or permitted to retain for legal, safety, fraud-prevention, payment-processing, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, platform integrity, or compliance reasons.

User-generated content that has been shared publicly or with other users may remain visible if removal would affect the rights or experience of other users, unless removal is required by applicable law. We may also retain records necessary to document transactions, enforce our Terms, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the Services, email, or other reasonable means, in addition to updating the Effective Date.
