Who We Are & What This Covers
BecomeAnInfluencer ("we," "us," or "our") is an influencer education company providing digital products, courses, coaching programmes, and marketing resources to content creators worldwide. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information we collect and process when you:
We collect only what we need. We don't gather information for the sake of it — every piece of data we collect has a specific, documented purpose.
We never sell your personal data. Your information is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties for their marketing purposes.
You are always in control. You can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us at privacy@BecomeAnInfluencer.com.
We keep it plain. This policy is written in plain language, not legal jargon. If anything is unclear, email us and we'll explain it directly.
Our legal basis for processing your personal data varies depending on the type of data and the purpose. We rely on: contractual necessity (to fulfil your purchase or subscription), legitimate interests (to improve our products and communicate with existing customers), consent (for marketing emails and optional data uses), and legal obligation (for accounting and tax records).
Data We Collect
We collect three categories of information: data you provide to us directly, data collected automatically when you use our services, and data received from third parties. Here is exactly what each category contains.
Information You Provide Directly
| Data Type | What It Includes | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | Full name, email address, password (hashed), profile photo (optional), creator handle or business name | When you create an account or purchase a product |
| Purchase Information | Billing name, billing address, last 4 digits of card (we never store full card numbers — handled by Stripe), purchase history, order IDs | When you make a purchase |
| Email Communications | Email address, name, preferences, and any content you include when emailing us or completing forms | When you subscribe, contact us, or complete any form |
| Survey & Form Responses | Answers to onboarding questionnaires, product feedback surveys, course assessment responses | When you complete optional surveys or worksheets |
| Community Contributions | Posts, comments, questions, and replies you submit in our community spaces (Discord, Circle, or similar) | When you participate in our community platforms |
| Support Communications | The content of support tickets, chat conversations, and any attachments you send when seeking assistance | When you contact our support team |
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website or use our digital products, certain technical information is collected automatically through cookies, log files, and similar technologies:
Information From Third Parties
In limited circumstances, we may receive information about you from third-party sources. This includes: payment processors (Stripe) confirming transaction status; affiliate platforms confirming referral attribution; and social media platforms when you choose to connect your account to our services. We only request the minimum permissions necessary from any third-party platform.
How We Use Your Data
We use your personal information for specific, documented purposes. We never use data in ways that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected. Here is every use we make of your information:
| Purpose | Description | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Fulfil Your Purchase | Process your payment, deliver your purchased products (courses, guides, downloads), provide access credentials, and send purchase confirmations | Contractual necessity |
| Account Management | Create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity, manage your product access, and process any changes to your subscription | Contractual necessity |
| Email Communications | Send you product updates, educational content you signed up for, important service announcements, and (with your consent) promotional offers for our products | Consent / Legitimate interests |
| Customer Support | Respond to your support requests, investigate complaints, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve our response quality | Contractual necessity / Legitimate interests |
| Product Improvement | Analyse how our products and website are used, identify what content resonates, and improve our educational materials based on aggregated behavioural data | Legitimate interests |
| Security & Fraud Prevention | Detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, and abuse of our services | Legitimate interests / Legal obligation |
| Legal Compliance | Maintain financial records, respond to lawful requests from authorities, and comply with applicable laws and regulations | Legal obligation |
| Personalisation | With your consent, personalise the content and product recommendations you see based on your purchase history and stated interests | Consent |
We only send you promotional emails if you have explicitly opted in. You can unsubscribe from any marketing email at any time using the unsubscribe link in the footer of every email, or by emailing privacy@BecomeAnInfluencer.com. Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect your receipt of transactional emails (purchase confirmations, access details, support replies).
Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our website work, understand how it's used, and (with your consent) personalise your experience. Here is everything we track and why.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — like your login status or preferences — so you don't have to re-enter it each time. Cookies do not contain your full personal information and cannot execute programmes or transfer viruses to your device.
Managing your cookie preferences: You can control which cookies are active through our cookie consent banner, which appears on your first visit. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of our website from functioning correctly.
Most modern browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. For guidance, visit your browser's help documentation or allaboutcookies.org.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve any disputes or enforce our agreements.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account Data | Duration of account + 2 years after account closure | Service delivery and legal obligations |
| Purchase Records | 7 years from transaction date | Tax and financial reporting legal requirements |
| Email Marketing Data | Until unsubscription + 90 days | Consent management and suppression lists |
| Support Tickets | 3 years from ticket closure | Service quality improvement and legal protection |
| Analytics Data | 26 months (Google Analytics default) | Long-term trend analysis |
| Security Logs | 12 months | Fraud detection and incident investigation |
| Course Progress Data | Duration of access + 1 year | Continuity of service and certificate records |
When your data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete or anonymise it. Anonymised data (where your identity cannot be re-established) may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and product improvement purposes.
You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by emailing privacy@BecomeAnInfluencer.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records (such as financial transaction records required for tax purposes).
Your Rights
You have significant rights over your personal data. Depending on your location, these rights are provided by the GDPR (EU/UK residents), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, or other applicable privacy legislation. We honour these rights for all users, regardless of location.
To exercise any of the rights above, email us at privacy@BecomeAnInfluencer.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and specify which right(s) you wish to exercise. We will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and respond substantively within 30 days (or inform you if we need more time, which we may request for complex requests — up to a maximum of 90 days total).
We will not charge a fee for your first request in any 12-month period. We may charge a reasonable administrative fee for repetitive, manifestly unfounded, or excessive requests.
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. In the EU, contact your national supervisory authority.
How We Protect Your Data
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration.
While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely impenetrable. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your BecomeAnInfluencer account and to enable two-factor authentication where available. If you suspect your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at security@BecomeAnInfluencer.com.
Children's Privacy
Our products and services are designed for adult content creators and are not intended for children under the age of 16 (or under the age of 13 in the United States).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 16 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@BecomeAnInfluencer.com. We will promptly investigate and, if confirmed, delete the child's information from our systems.
By using our services and providing personal information, you confirm that you are at least 16 years of age. If you are between 13 and 16 years of age in the United States, you must have verifiable parental consent before using our services.
International Transfers
BecomeAnInfluencer operates internationally and some of our service providers are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
For transfers of personal data from the EEA or UK to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on the following safeguards:
