Privacy Policy

Scrile Connect is a platform where customers can support and engage with Creators. This privacy policy applies to Customers, Creators, and all users of our platform, and is part of our Terms of Use.
Scrile Connect is a global company. By using our platform, you agree that your personal information that you provide directly to us or that we collect through your use of the platform, may be transferred to and stored on the servers located in the United States or European Union and handled as described in this Policy.

Information You Provide Through Your Account

This is information that you provide to us through text fields, such as your name, payment information and benefits. The information we collect differs depending on if you make an account, become a customer, or become a Creator.
You may also sign up using a Facebook or Twitter account. We will ask permission to access basic information from your Facebook or Twitter account, such as your name, email, and profile picture. You can choose to stop sharing that information with us at any time by going to Facebook or Twitter to remove Scrile Connect's access to that account and your ability to log in.
You also have the option to add more information to your public profile, such as a location, social media links and an about section, which we store along with any comments or messages you submit on Scrile Connect.

Customers

A customer is someone who joins Scrile Connect's membership platform to support a Creator's content. As a customer you must provide your payment information to our payment processors. At this time, Scrile Connect does not receive your full card number. Payment processors provide us with a token that represents your account, your card's expiration date, card type and the last four digits of your card number. If you are required to provide your name and email address to the payment processor, then they also provide us with that information.
We collect and process information about the Creators you support, the level at which you support them, what benefits you receive and how often you support them. As a customer, if you select a benefit tier with a physical benefit, then you have to provide your shipping information so the Creator can ship you the benefit.

Creators

A Creator is someone who creates and provides content for their customers through Scrile Connect's membership platform. To become a Creator, you must create a page that describes what you are creating and any benefits you are offering. To receive payouts you have to create an account with one of our payment partners: PayPal, or Payoneer. We may also require your bank account information to process payouts. You must also provide us with additional information for tax purposes. Depending on your location you may have to fill out a form with some combination of your:
