Who controls your data
Nexmoe, an individual operator based in the People's Republic of China, operates SponNow and is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. “SponNow,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to this operator.
For a privacy request or question, email nexmoei@gmail.com. We use this monitored address for privacy and security matters.
Personal data we collect
We collect only data needed to operate SponNow:
- Account and authentication data: name, email address, optional avatar, account identifiers, verification status, encrypted or hashed authentication credentials, session token, session expiry, IP address, and browser user-agent.
- Creator and project data: display name, biography, location, website and social links, work descriptions, tags, images, sponsorship plans, prices, benefits, and fulfillment notes.
- Sponsorship and checkout data: receipt email, selected plan, amount, currency, subscription status, transaction and provider identifiers, and—when provided—public display type, sponsor or company name, avatar or logo URL, website URL, and public message.
- Payment data from Waffo Pancake: checkout, order, subscription, refund, and payment-status events. Full card numbers and card security codes are collected and handled by Waffo Pancake, not stored on SponNow servers.
- Agent and security data: authorized agent names, public keys, capability grants, approval status, timestamps, device or host metadata, and security/audit records.
- Support and technical data: messages you send us, request timestamps, error details, and limited server logs used to diagnose reliability, abuse, and security issues.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information. Please do not include government identifiers, health information, financial account numbers, or other sensitive data in public profiles or messages.
How and why we use data
- Contract: create and secure accounts, publish requested profiles, process sponsorships, administer subscriptions, provide benefits, maintain order history, and respond to support requests.
- Legitimate interests: prevent fraud and abuse, secure and debug the service, understand reliability, enforce our Terms, and display sponsor details in the way you selected. We balance these interests against your rights.
- Consent: publish optional profile or sponsorship fields and send promotional communications if we specifically ask for consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligations: keep tax and accounting records, respond to valid legal requests, investigate unlawful activity, and meet payment and consumer-protection requirements.
Security and incident response
We use encrypted connections, hashed passwords, signed payment webhooks, access controls, expiring credentials, and audit records designed to protect personal information. Access is limited to people and systems that need it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
If a breach creates a risk to your rights, we will investigate, contain it, and notify affected people and regulators as required by law. Where applicable, we aim to notify the relevant authority within 72 hours after becoming aware. Report suspected incidents to nexmoei@gmail.com.
How long we keep data
We keep personal information only for a defined business or legal need. Our standard retention periods are:
- Accounts, profiles, content, and uploaded assets: while the account is active, then deletion or anonymization within 90 days of a verified deletion request. Residual backup copies may remain for up to a further 90 days and are isolated from ordinary use.
- Expired sessions and verification records: until expiry and for no more than 30 days afterward, unless needed for a security investigation.
- Payment, subscription, refund, transaction, and tax records: 7 years after the transaction or subscription ends, to meet accounting, tax, dispute, and fraud-prevention obligations.
- Security and agent audit records: up to 12 months after the recorded activity, or longer while investigating a specific incident.
- Support communications: up to 2 years after the request is closed.
Subscription cancellation does not delete an account or accounting records. We may keep a limited record longer when law requires it, a dispute remains open, or it is necessary to protect the service; when possible, we minimize or anonymize that record.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may ask to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a portable copy of your personal information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or complain to your local data protection authority. You may also ask us to remove your public sponsor display without deleting required payment records.
Send a request to nexmoei@gmail.com. We may verify your identity and ask for enough information to locate the record. We normally respond within 30 days, or sooner if local law requires. If we need a lawful extension, we will explain why. You may authorize an agent where applicable, and you may appeal a refusal by replying to our decision.
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no sale or targeted-advertising opt-out to exercise at this time. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
Communications and marketing
We may send service messages needed for account security, receipts, billing, subscription status, policy notices, or support. These are not promotional messages. We do not currently send promotional marketing emails. If that changes, we will provide a clear opt-in or opt-out as required, and withdrawing marketing consent will not stop necessary service messages.
International data transfers
SponNow, Waffo Pancake, Cloudflare, and their subprocessors may process information in countries other than your own. Where the destination does not provide an equivalent level of legal protection, we use safeguards required by applicable law, such as contractual protections, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or another approved transfer mechanism. You may request information about applicable safeguards by contacting us.
Children
SponNow is not directed to anyone under 18, and people under 18 may not create accounts or purchase sponsorships. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided data, contact us and we will investigate and delete it where required.
Third-party sites and services
Creator profiles, works, sponsor messages, and payment pages may link to third-party sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one. Review those policies before providing personal information. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service, providers, or law changes. We will update the date above and, for a material change, provide at least 14 days’ advance notice by email or a prominent in-service notice unless an urgent legal or security change requires faster action. We will ask for consent if a new use legally requires it.
