Privacy Policy

Introduction

Bolanle Media (“Bolanle Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals who interact with our website, platform, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when individuals create accounts, upload or license digital content, purchase licenses, subscribe to services, or otherwise interact with the Platform.

Bolanle Media operates a digital media marketplace where creators may upload digital content such as photographs, videos, graphics, illustrations, and audio works, and users may license or access such content subject to the applicable Terms of Use and Creator Terms.

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described herein.

Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Bolanle Media Platform and related services operated by Bolanle Media. This policy does not apply to websites, services, or platforms operated by third parties that may be linked to or accessible from the Platform. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party services they access.

Collection of Personal Data

Bolanle Media collects personal information in a variety of ways when individuals interact with the Platform. Information may be provided directly by users, collected automatically when users interact with the Platform, or received from third-party services in connection with integrated technologies.

Users may provide personal information when creating accounts, purchasing content licenses, subscribing to services, contacting Bolanle Media for support, or otherwise interacting with features of the Platform. This information may include identifying information such as name, email address, username, billing address, and other contact details.

In connection with purchases or subscription services, users may provide billing information necessary to process payments. Payments made through the Platform may be processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe. These payment providers process financial information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security procedures. Bolanle Media does not store full credit card numbers or other sensitive payment credentials.

The Platform may also automatically collect certain technical and usage information when users access or interact with the Platform. This information may include IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system information, referring URLs, pages viewed, search queries, downloads, and other interactions with the Platform.

In some circumstances, Bolanle Media may receive information from third-party services when users choose to access the Platform through external integrations or social media platforms. Any information received from such services will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the permissions granted by the user.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

Depending on how individuals interact with the Platform, Bolanle Media may collect several categories of personal information.

• Account and contact information may include a user's name, email address, username, and other profile details associated with an account on the Platform.
• Transaction and payment information may include billing details, purchase records, subscription information, and other transaction data necessary to process payments and maintain records of licensing transactions.

How We Use Personal Data

Bolanle Media uses personal information for several purposes related to operating and improving the Platform.

Personal information is used to create and manage user accounts, process purchases and subscriptions, administer licenses to digital content, and provide customer support.

Information may also be used to communicate with users regarding account activity, transaction confirmations, security alerts, or changes to platform policies or services.

Bolanle Media may analyze information regarding how users interact with the Platform in order to improve functionality, develop new features, and enhance the user experience. For example, usage information may help us understand how users discover content, how frequently content is licensed, and how different platform features are used.

In certain circumstances, Bolanle Media may use aggregated or anonymized information to analyze broader trends in platform usage or marketplace performance. Such information does not identify individual users. Personal information may also be used to maintain the security and integrity of the Platform, detect fraudulent activity, enforce platform policies, and comply with legal obligations.

Bolanle Media may also create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from personal information. Such information does not identify individual users and may be used for research, analytics, product development, or other lawful business purposes.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

In certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, data protection laws require organizations to identify the legal basis relied upon when processing personal information.

Bolanle Media processes personal information when it is necessary to perform a contract with users, such as providing access to the Platform, administering user accounts, and processing transactions related to content licensing.

Personal information may also be processed based on Bolanle Media's legitimate business interests, including maintaining platform security, improving platform functionality, analyzing marketplace activity, and developing new services. When processing personal information on this basis, Bolanle Media considers the potential impact on users and seeks to ensure that such processing does not override individual privacy rights.

In some circumstances, Bolanle Media may process personal information in order to comply with legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or maintaining records required by applicable laws.

Where applicable, Bolanle Media may also rely on user consent for certain processing activities, such as optional communications or integrations with external services. Users may withdraw such consent where permitted by law.

Artificial Intelligence and Automated Technologies

Bolanle Media may use automated technologies and artificial intelligence systems to support the operation and improvement of the Platform. These technologies may assist with functions such as search functionality, recommendation systems, fraud detection, content moderation, and analysis of marketplace activity.

In connection with these technologies, Bolanle Media may process technical information generated through use of the Platform, including interaction data, search queries, usage patterns, and content metadata.

These automated systems help improve the performance of the Platform, identify suspicious activity, and enhance the efficiency of the marketplace.

Bolanle Media does not use personal information or creator-submitted content available through the Platform to train generative artificial intelligence models unless such use is explicitly disclosed in updated policies, terms, or authorized in accordance with applicable agreements or policies.

Platform Integrity and Abuse Prevention

Bolanle Media may collect and analyze certain information relating to the use of the Platform in order to maintain platform integrity, detect unauthorized activity, and prevent abuse of the services.

This may include monitoring activity patterns associated with accounts, downloads, searches, login attempts, or other interactions with the Platform. Such monitoring may help identify automated systems, scraping activity, fraudulent transactions, unauthorized access attempts, or other behavior that may violate platform policies or applicable law.

Information collected for these purposes may include technical information, usage data, device identifiers, and other signals that help Bolanle Media maintain the security and reliability of the Platform.

Bolanle Media may use automated tools or manual review processes to investigate suspicious activity, enforce platform policies, restrict access to accounts, or take other actions necessary to protect the Platform, its users, and creators.

Sharing of Information

Bolanle Media does not sell personal information. However, information may be shared with service providers who assist in operating the Platform. These service providers may include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, analytics providers, and other technical infrastructure providers necessary to support the Platform.

Information may also be disclosed where required to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from government authorities, enforce platform agreements, or protect the rights, safety, or property of Bolanle Media and its users.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Platform uses cookies and similar technologies to support its functionality and improve the user experience. Cookies help maintain login sessions, remember user preferences, and analyze how users interact with the Platform.

These technologies may also assist Bolanle Media in evaluating platform performance, identifying technical issues, and improving platform features.

Users may control the use of cookies through their browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features of the Platform.

User-Generated Content

The Platform allows creators and users to upload or submit digital content including photographs, videos, graphics, illustrations, audio recordings, and other creative materials.

Content submitted to the Platform may be publicly displayed or licensed to other users in accordance with the applicable Terms of Use and Creator Terms. Information associated with such content, including creator usernames or profile information, may be visible to other users of the Platform as part of the normal operation of the marketplace.

Content Licensing and Marketplace Transactions

The Platform operates as a digital marketplace through which creators may upload digital content and users may license such content.

In connection with these marketplace activities, Bolanle Media may collect and maintain records relating to content submissions, licensing transactions, downloads, subscriptions, and other interactions involving digital assets available through the Platform.

These records may include information relating to the user or creator involved in the transaction, the content licensed, the date and time of the transaction, and other information necessary to administer licensing agreements and maintain accurate transaction records.

Such information is used to operate the marketplace, process transactions, provide analytics to creators regarding the performance of their content, and enforce platform agreements governing the use of licensed materials.

Intellectual Property Enforcement and Rights Protection

Bolanle Media respects the intellectual property rights of creators and third parties. In order to maintain the integrity of the Platform and comply with applicable copyright laws, Bolanle Media may collect and process information related to intellectual property enforcement activities.

This may include information submitted in connection with copyright complaints, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices, infringement reports, counter-notifications, or other communications regarding alleged violations of intellectual property rights. Such information may include identifying information about the reporting party, the content at issue, and the users associated with the content.

Bolanle Media may use this information to investigate potential violations of platform policies, respond to legal requests, enforce applicable agreements, and comply with obligations under copyright and other intellectual property laws. In certain circumstances, information associated with intellectual property complaints may be shared with the parties involved in the dispute or with legal authorities where required by law.

Account Security Responsibilities

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for restricting access to their accounts. This includes protecting usernames, passwords, and other authentication information used to access the Platform.

Users should notify Bolanle Media promptly if they become aware of any unauthorized access to their account or other security incident involving the Platform.

Platform Analytics and Performance Information

Bolanle Media may collect and analyze information relating to how users interact with digital content available through the Platform.

This information may include data relating to views, downloads, licensing activity, and other engagement metrics associated with content available on the Platform.

Certain analytics derived from this information may be provided to creators through dashboards or reporting tools to help creators understand how their content performs within the marketplace.

Aggregated or anonymized analytics data may also be used internally to improve platform functionality and analyze marketplace trends.

Data Security

Bolanle Media maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, Bolanle Media cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.

Data Retention

Bolanle Media retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including operating the Platform, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and maintaining records relating to marketplace transactions.

Certain transaction records relating to licensing activity may be retained for longer periods to ensure that previously granted licenses remain valid and enforceable.

International Data Transfers

Because the Platform may be accessed globally, personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which a user resides. Bolanle Media takes reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable laws and the user's jurisdiction, individuals may have certain rights regarding their personal information, including the right to request access to personal data, request corrections, or request deletion of certain personal information.

California Privacy Rights

Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to request information regarding the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which such information is used.

Children's Privacy

The Platform is intended for individuals who are at least eighteen years of age. Bolanle Media does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers provide “Do Not Track” signals that allow users to indicate a preference not to be tracked across websites. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to such signals, Bolanle Media does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Updating or Correcting Account Information

Users may review, update, or correct certain account information through their account settings or by contacting Bolanle Media directly.

Marketing Communications and Opt-Out

Users may receive communications relating to account activity, transactions, or platform updates. Users may opt out of receiving promotional communications by following unsubscribe instructions included in those messages.

Business Transfers

If Bolanle Media is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information collected through the Platform may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable laws.

Bolanle Media will take reasonable steps to ensure that any successor entity continues to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the commitments described in this Privacy Policy or provides appropriate notice of any material changes.
