Privacy Policy

Welcome to The Archive (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you access or use our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

The Platform is a subscription-based digital creator service intended exclusively for individuals 18 years of age or older.

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Age Restriction

The Platform is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to remove such information and terminate the associated account.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide

When you create an account, apply as a creator, or interact with the Platform, we may collect: full name, email address, date of birth (for age verification), username and profile information, profile photos and content uploads, payment-related information (processed by Stripe), messaging content (direct messages), subscription and purchase history, and customer support communications.

Creators may also provide tax and payout information, and identity verification documentation (if required for compliance).

B. Payment Information

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. Stripe may collect payment card details, billing address, and transaction information. Stripe’s data practices are governed by Stripe’s own Privacy Policy.

C. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect: IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, usage behavior (pages visited, interactions, timestamps), log data, and referring URLs. We may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, maintain security, and analyze performance.

D. Content Interaction Data

To operate the Platform and support creator analytics, we may collect: content views, unlock activity, engagement metrics (likes, comments, poll votes), message open rates, subscription activity, and audio/video playback metrics. This information helps creators understand audience engagement and improve their content strategy.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to: provide, operate, and improve the Platform; process subscriptions and transactions; enable direct messaging between users; enforce content policies and community guidelines; detect and prevent fraud or abuse; monitor chargeback and dispute activity; improve user experience and performance; provide customer support; comply with legal obligations; and protect creators’ intellectual property.

4. Content Protection & Security Measures

To protect creators and reduce unauthorized distribution, we may implement digital watermarking, access controls and content locking systems, screenshot detection in supported environments, and logging of suspicious or abusive access behavior. We take commercially reasonable steps to discourage unauthorized redistribution of content but cannot guarantee complete prevention of misuse.

5. Content Moderation

The Archive maintains content standards and moderation systems. We may review content for compliance, remove content that violates policies, suspend or terminate accounts, and investigate reports of misuse. Content moderation may include automated systems and manual review processes.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with Stripe for payment processing; with service providers assisting in hosting, storage, analytics, and security; to comply with legal obligations; to enforce our Terms of Service; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or business transfer. All service providers are required to maintain appropriate security protections.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as your account remains active, as necessary to comply with legal and tax obligations, and as required to resolve disputes or enforce agreements. Deleted accounts may have limited data retained for fraud prevention, chargeback defense, or legal compliance.

8. Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion of your information, and withdraw consent where applicable. You may update account information through your account settings or contact us at: info@thearchivecreators.com.

10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain secure sessions, remember user preferences, analyze usage trends, and improve Platform performance. You may adjust cookie preferences through your browser settings.

11. International Users

If you access the Platform from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Platform, you consent to such transfers.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and may provide notice through the Platform. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
