We may use standard tools, such as cookies or web beacons, to monitor the Site and Internet usage and to improve or customize the content on the Site. You should be able to control the use of cookies by changing your own browser settings.

We collect personal information to help identify you; to perform contractual obligations; to communicate with you; to advertise our organization and membership options; to properly administer our Site; to research and analyze the use of our Site and services so we can improve our services; to detect and prevent fraud; and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your Personal Information for targeted advertising.

We do not use your Personal Information for profiling that could result in a decision that could impact whether you receive financial or lending services, housing, insurance, educational opportunities, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health care services, or access to essential goods or services. 

The Personal Information we collect is retained as long as is reasonably necessary for our business operations and to comply with applicable law.

Categories of Third Parties That May Receive Your Personal Information

In order to conduct our business and better serve you, we may disclose Personal Information and other information about you or your activities on our Site or while using our services with:

  • Our members, partners, and affiliates.

Some third-party providers may independently collect Personal Information when you visit our Site. For example, our Site includes social media features connected with social networking sites such as TikTok, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Instagram. Those sites may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on the Site, and may set a cookie to enable social media features to function properly. Our authorized third-party vendors and partners have their own privacy notices which govern the use, handling, and disclosure of your Personal Information. For example, your interactions with social media sites, including any Personal Information you provide via buttons or links to these sites, are governed by the privacy notice of the social media company.

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser settings because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We reserve the right to update our practices and Privacy Notice as such standards are created and evolve.

Retention, Confidentiality, and Security of Personal Information

We store Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose of collection or further processing as described in this Privacy Notice; as we determine is necessary for business records; and as required under applicable law.

We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your information. However, the Internet is not absolutely secure and, thus, we cannot promise guaranteed security. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you. As applicable, we will comply with notification requirements for a security breach and may also notify you by email.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate change, or bankruptcy, we may share or transfer your Personal Information as part of a transfer of our assets to the acquiring entity.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us without your consent, please notify us at privacy@creators.org. If we become aware that information is or has been submitted by or collected from a minor under the age of 13, we will work to promptly delete this information.
