Privacy Policy

What this policy covers

This policy explains what information we collect when you submit an application to join the Influence The Brand network through our application page, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers only the application page. It does not cover any other website, product, or service.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out and submit the application, we collect the information you enter in the form. This includes the contact and profile details the form asks for so that we can review your application and respond to you.

Information collected automatically when you arrive. When you reach the application page, we record basic technical and source information about how you got there — including the referring source, campaign, and channel identifiers (commonly called UTM parameters) attached to the link you followed. We use this to understand which channels bring applicants to us.

Analytics and advertising technologies. We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, including Google Analytics and the Meta and TikTok advertising pixels, to understand visits to our site, measure campaigns, and support advertising. These technologies collect information about activity on our site and may be used to measure, personalize, or target advertising. Additional information and available privacy choices are described below.

Consent record. When you check the consent box and submit, we store the exact wording of the consent you agreed to, the version of that wording, and the time you agreed to it, together with your application. This is so we have an accurate record of what you consented to.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to: review your application and decide whether to invite you into the network; contact you about your application and about the network; keep an accurate internal record of applications we have received; and understand, in aggregate, which channels our applicants come from.

We review applications manually against written criteria. We do not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you without human involvement.

How we store and protect your information

Your application is stored as a first-party record in our own database. We distinguish test submissions from real ones and exclude test submissions from review. We limit access to application records to the people who need it to review applications and operate the network.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your application details with third parties for their own marketing. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the application page and our business (for example, hosting and email delivery), only as needed for them to provide those services to us, and we may share information where we are required to by law.

Email

When you submit an application, we send you one confirmation email. If you reply to it, your reply reaches our team inbox. We may contact you further about your application and the network.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you gave us, and we will honor those requests. Contact us at privacy@influencethebrand.com. Some records may remain in backups or system logs for a limited period after a deletion request. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law; contact us and we will honor the rights that apply to you.

Current status of these technologies. The Google Analytics, Meta, and TikTok technologies described above are currently turned off on the application page, pending a privacy choice control. While they are off, they do not run and do not collect information about your visit. We do not yet offer a preference control; when one is available, we will describe it here.

Children

The application page is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has submitted an application, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top and post the current version on the application page. Material changes to what you are agreeing to at submission are handled as a new consent version, not as a silent edit.
