Privacy Policy
OT Diary is an editorial-commerce platform that brings together creator identity, published stories, shops, brands, campaigns and audience activity. This Privacy Policy explains the main categories of information OT Diary may handle when people use the website, creator profiles, editorial tools, commerce features, campaigns and connected services.
The information handled by OT Diary depends on which features you use and whether you are a visitor, creator, brand participant or administrator. Third-party retailers, affiliate networks, social platforms and other connected services may apply their own privacy practices when you choose to use them.
Who this policy applies to
This Privacy Policy applies to visitors and users of OT Diary's website and supported application experiences. Throughout this policy, “you” refers to the person interacting with OT Diary.
Information we collect
Information can include account details, login and security information, profile fields, content you publish, products and collections you save, campaign activity, messages, support requests, creator analytics, readers and followers, earnings-related records, device and usage information, and preferences you choose inside the platform.
When a feature needs media, OT Diary may also store files you intentionally upload, including profile, cover, editorial, story or product-related images.
Public creator information
Creator profiles are designed to be public. Information intentionally published to a creator profile can include display name, username, profile image, editorial image, biography, location, selected links, verification status, Dear Diary entries, Feed posts, Shop content, Collections and other public-facing creator material.
Do not place passwords, private credentials, financial-account information or information you do not want publicly visible inside public profile fields or published content.
How we use information
OT Diary may use information to operate accounts and profiles; publish and distribute creator content; personalize or rank discovery surfaces; provide messages, campaigns and gifting tools; calculate platform analytics; support commerce and attribution; process support requests; maintain security; prevent abuse; and improve product performance.
Commerce and affiliate links
Some OT Diary links may direct users to third-party retailers, brands or commerce services. A commerce link can contain tracking or attribution parameters so a retailer, affiliate network or other partner can understand that a visit came from OT Diary or a creator. Whether a transaction is commissionable depends on the applicable partner and its rules.
Third-party shopping destinations operate under their own privacy practices. OT Diary does not control the information a retailer independently collects after you leave OT Diary.
Connected social accounts
When a creator connects a supported social account, OT Diary may receive information permitted by the creator and the connected platform for the feature being used. The exact information depends on the permissions granted and the connection available at that time.
When information is shared
OT Diary may share information with service providers that help operate the platform, with brands or commerce partners when necessary for a feature or relationship the user chooses to participate in, and when required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance or protection of users and the platform.
Public creator content is, by design, available to visitors and may be indexed, shared or linked by others.
Cookies and local storage
OT Diary uses strictly necessary cookies and browser storage from the first visit when they are required for security, authentication, session continuity, navigation and remembering privacy preferences. These essential technologies remain enabled because the service cannot reliably provide those functions without them.
Functional, analytics, personalization and commerce or marketing technologies are treated as optional where consent is required. They are not enabled through OT Diary's consent controls until you choose to allow them. Device and network information, which can include an IP address, may be processed for security and service delivery, but an IP address is not used as a substitute for cookie consent.
Data retention
OT Diary may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations and preserve transaction or platform records where required.
Your choices and rights
You can update many account and profile fields directly in OT Diary. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or other controls over certain personal information. OT Diary may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Changes to this policy
OT Diary may update this Privacy Policy as the platform changes. Material updates may be presented through the website or account experience when appropriate.
