Privacy Policy

Contact Information Sharing and Consent

1. Introduction

Overview: This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the personal information of both profile holders and customers. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled with the utmost care and security.

2. Collection and Use of Contact Information

Profiles: Profile holders can create profiles on our platform that may include personal information such as name, bio, performance details, contact information and short description of their talents. This information is provided voluntarily by the profile holders to showcase their work and services to prospective clients (customers). The contact details of the talents will be made available to the customers only after they put through a request for access, which will be forwarded to the concerned talent by the website for consent to share the details and on the payment of certain amount of fee to the website and till then the talents will visible with a code which the customers need to select for initiating the process. Profile holders on our platform may choose to provide contact information such as email addresses or phone numbers to be included in their profile for the purpose of being contacted by prospective clients but the same will not be shared till the talents express their consent for the same and the customers pay the charges.

3. Sharing Contact Information with Prospective Clients

1. Client Requests: When a prospective client (customer) expresses interest in contacting an profile holder for services or bookings, the platform will not automatically share the profile holder’s contact information with the client. If a customer is interested in contacting an profile holder for a potential booking, the platform will first seek consent from the profile holder before sharing any contact details with the client. We will never share contact information without obtaining the necessary consent from the profile holder.
2. Profile holder Consent Process: Prior to providing a client with an profile holder's contact details, the platform will send a request to the profile holder asking for their explicit consent to share the contact information with the interested customer. When a client shows interest in an profile holder’s profile, we will request the profile holder’s consent to share their contact details. The profile holder will have the option to approve or decline the request before any personal information is exchanged. 3. Conditional Sharing: The profile holder’s contact details will only be shared with the customer after the profile holder grants permission and on payment of fees by the customer to the website. The customer will not be provided with the profile holder's contact information if the profile holder does not provide consent within the stipulated time. Once consent is obtained from the profile holder, we will share the profile holder’s contact information with the customer. If consent is not given, the platform will not charge for the payment of fee from the customer requiring the contact information of the profile holder

4. Revocation of Consent

1. Right to Withdraw Consent: Profile holders have the right to revoke their consent before the platform shares details to the customers based on consent earlier given. If a profile holder decides they no longer wish for their contact details to be shared with a particular customer, they can withdraw consent before the platform shares details to the customers based on consent earlier given, and the information will no longer be shared. If a profile holder decides not to allow further sharing of their contact information with a customer, they can notify the platform, and the platform will take the necessary steps to prevent any future sharing.
2. Notification of Revocation: If a profile holder withdraws consent after their contact details have been shared, the platform will notify both the profile holder and the customer of the revocation. The customer will no longer have access to the profile holder’s contact details in the platform unless consent is re-granted.

5. Data Protection and Security

1. Confidentiality: We take the privacy and security of personal data very seriously. Any contact information shared with prospective clients will be protected by the platform’s security measures, in accordance with applicable data protection laws. The contact information shared between the profile holder and customer will be treated as confidential. We employ industry-standard security measures to protect all personal data, including encryption and access controls.
2. No Unauthorized Sharing: The platform will not share any personal information, including contact details, with third parties or unauthorized users, except as required for the purpose of facilitating the profile holder-customer communication process in the manner provided above. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Contact information is only shared with the customer after consent has been given and is only used for communication related to the query.

6. Communication Through the Platform

Platform Messaging: Until consent is given by the profile holder to share their contact details, the platform may offer an internal messaging system to facilitate communication between the profile holder and the customer, after the customer pays the required charges to the platform. In cases where the profile holder has not provided consent for direct contact information sharing, all communication will take place through the platform's internal messaging system.

7. Profile holder’s Rights and Control

Control Over Personal Information: The website retains full control over the contact information and can choose not to share it or to provide alternate means of communication. Profile holders have the option to update, modify, or withhold their contact information at any time. They may choose to provide an alternate method of communication or opt out of sharing contact information with prospective clients altogether.

Additional Provisions

1. Updating our Terms

We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices, to promote a safe and secure experience on our services, and or to comply with applicable law. We will only make any changes if the provisions are no longer appropriate or if they are incomplete, and only if the changes are reasonable and take due account of your interests, or if the changes are required for safety and security purposes or to comply with applicable law. We will notify you (by email or through our platform) at least 30 days before we make changes to these Terms and Conditions and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect, unless changes are required by law. Once any updated Terms and Conditions are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products/Platform. We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms and Conditions and no longer want to be a part of this platform, you can delete your account at any time.

2. Account suspension or termination

We want this website to be a place where people feel welcome to register and express themselves for showcasing talents and the customers to pick them when they search for the talents on a payment of certain fee. If we determine, in our discretion, that you have clearly, seriously or repeatedly breached our Terms or Policies, including, in particular, the Community Standards, activities which are illegal and fraudulent, we may suspend or permanently disable your access and we may permanently disable or delete your account. We may also disable or delete your account if you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights or where we are required to do so for legal reasons. We may disable or delete your account if, after registration, your account is not confirmed, your account is unused and remains inactive for an extended period of time or if we detect that someone may have used it without your permission and we are unable to confirm your ownership of the account. Where we take such action, we'll let you know and explain any options you have to request a review, unless doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our services, systems or Products; where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons. You can learn more about what you can do if your account has been disabled and how to contact us if you think that we have disabled your account by mistake. If you delete or we disable or delete your account, these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and us, but the following provisions will remain in place. When you request to delete content or your account, the deletion process will automatically begin no more than 30 days after your request. It may take up to 90 days to delete content after the deletion process begins. While the deletion process for such content is being undertaken, the content is no longer visible to other users, but remains subject to these Terms of Use and our Data Policy. After the content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery systems. Content will not be deleted within 90 days of the account deletion or content deletion process beginning in the following situations:
1. Where your content has been used by others in accordance with this license and they have not deleted it (in which case this license will continue to apply until that content is deleted); or
2. where deletion within 90 days is not possible due to technical limitations of our systems, in which case, we will complete the deletion as soon as technically feasible; or
3. where deletion would restrict our ability to:
* investigate or identify illegal activity or violations of our terms and policies (for example, to identify or investigate misuse of our products or systems);
* protect the safety and security of our products, systems, and users;
* comply with a legal obligation, such as the preservation of evidence; or
* comply with a request of a judicial or administrative authority, law enforcement or a government agency; in which case, the content will be retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been retained (the exact duration will vary on a case-by-case basis).

1-Year Paid Membership Clause (Subject to Renewal)

1. Membership Duration and Renewal


1. Duration of Membership: By purchasing a paid membership, the user is granted access to the platform's paid features for a period of one (1) year from the date of payment. After this period, the membership is subject to renewal on an annual basis. Example: "The paid membership is valid for one (1) year from the date of activation. At the end of this term, the membership will automatically expire unless the user opts to renew it for another year."
2. Renewal: Users will be notified in advance of the membership’s expiration date. It is the user's responsibility to renew their membership in order to continue enjoying the additional benefits. Example: "The platform will send a reminder of the upcoming expiration of your membership at least [insert time period, e.g., 30 days] before the renewal date. Renewal is not automatic unless explicitly specified. If the user does not renew the membership by the expiration date, the paid membership benefits will lapse."

2. Lapse of Additional Benefits Upon Non-Renewal

Lapse of Benefits: If the membership is not renewed within [insert time period, e.g., 14 days] after the expiration date, any additional benefits or premium features offered to paid members will lapse, and the user will no longer have access to these features. Example: "In the event that the membership is not renewed by the expiration date, the additional benefits exclusive to paid members, including [insert benefits, e.g., priority booking, special discounts, access to exclusive content], will be discontinued. The user will then have access only to the features available to non-paid members."

3. Transition to Non-Paid Membership

Access to Non-Paid Membership Features: Upon expiration of the paid membership and the failure to renew, the user’s account will automatically transition to a non-paid membership. As a non-paid member, the user will only have access to the basic, free features available to all users of the platform. Example: "Once the membership expires and the user opts not to renew, their account will revert to a non-paid membership status. As a non-paid member, the user will no longer have access to the additional premium features and services."

4. Reinstatement of Paid Membership

Late Renewal: If a user chooses to renew their membership after the expiration date, the user may be required to pay for a full year of membership to reinstate the benefits. Any lapse in membership may result in the loss of access to certain features until the renewal payment is processed. Example: "If the membership is not renewed by the expiration date, users may have the option to reinstate their paid membership by paying for the full year. Access to paid features will resume once the payment is processed."

5. No Refunds for Lapsed Benefits


1. Refund Policy: Users acknowledge that there will be no refunds for any membership fees paid in advance, and the benefits associated with the paid membership are non-refundable if not renewed or if the membership lapses. Example: "The platform does not provide refunds for any portion of the paid membership fee if the user fails to renew or allows their membership to lapse. All payments for paid memberships are final and non-refundable."
2. Key Elements of the Clause:
* Duration and Renewal: Clear mention of the 1-year validity and how renewal works.
* Lapse of Benefits: Details on when and how the premium benefits will cease if the user does not renew.
* Transition to Non-Paid Status: States what happens to the user’s access after membership expires (i.e., they will revert to a non-paid membership).
* Reinstatement and Late Renewal: Explains the option to renew after expiry, and any conditions that apply to late renewals.
* Non-Refundable: Clarifies that there will be no refunds if the membership lapses or is not renewed
