Privacy Policy
1.Who we are
This policy explains how Supername Ltd (company number 16495620, registered office 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom) — “Supername”, “we”, “us” — collects and uses personal data when you use our website and services. We are the data controller. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration ZB997576. Privacy contact: [email protected].
2.What we collect, and from whom
Business customers. Name, work contact details, business name and address, campaign preferences, billing details (card data is handled by Stripe and never touches our servers), and your communications with us.
Creators. Name and contact details, social account handles and public profile statistics, neighbourhood/coverage areas, identity-verification outcome (performed by Stripe — we receive a pass/fail and limited metadata, not your documents), bank payout details (held by Stripe), campaign history and performance, and your communications with us.
Website visitors. The strictly-necessary cookies described in section 8, any campaign-attribution tags (such as UTM parameters) contained in a link you arrive through, and anything you submit through our forms, WhatsApp or booked calls.
3.Public business information & the Context engine
To draft campaign scripts, our Business Context engine reads publicly available information about a business: public reviews, menus, listings, websites and public social content. Reviews may include reviewers’ public display names and opinions; we process this content to identify themes (e.g. frequently praised items), not to profile individual reviewers, and review excerpts shown to a Business are presented for that purpose. We rely on legitimate interests for this processing and honour objections (section 7).
4.How we use data & lawful bases
- Providing the service — running campaigns, matching, approvals, payouts, reports. Basis: contract.
- Identity verification & fraud prevention — creator KYC via Stripe, payment screening. Basis: legal obligation / legitimate interests.
- The Context engine — reading public business information to draft scripts. Basis: legitimate interests.
- Communications — service messages (contract); marketing to business contacts where permitted, with opt-out in every message. Basis: legitimate interests / consent, per PECR.
- Improving the service — aggregated analytics, never sold. Basis: legitimate interests.
- Legal compliance — tax, accounting, disputes. Basis: legal obligation.
6.International transfers & retention
Where processors store data outside the UK, transfers are protected by adequacy regulations or the ICO-approved International Data Transfer Agreement / EU SCCs with the UK addendum. We keep personal data only as long as needed: account data for the life of the account and up to 2 years after it is closed; transaction and tax records for 6 years (HMRC); campaign content per the licence terms; and we anonymise or delete the rest on schedule — full retention table available on request.
7.Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us for: access to your data, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object — including to any legitimate-interests processing such as the Context engine’s use of public content, and to direct marketing (which we will always stop). Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Write to [email protected]; we respond within one month. You can complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk — though we’d appreciate the chance to fix it first.
9.Children
Our services are for users aged 18 and over. Creator onboarding includes age verification as part of identity checks; we do not knowingly process children’s data and will delete any we discover.
10.Changes to this policy
We’ll post updates here and, for material changes, notify account holders. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
