PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: May 27, 2026

CQ Studios ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit a form (such as a brand inquiry, gifted application, or managed campaign request), we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, brand or company name, website or social links, budget or timeline, and any details you include in a message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and how you interact with the site, using cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy below).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• review and respond to applications and inquiries;

• arrange calls, collaborations, and managed campaigns;

• post approved listings to our creator community;

• operate, maintain, and improve our website and Services;

• send you relevant communications about your inquiry or our Services; and

• comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it:

• With creators — when a brand or agency listing is approved, the contact details provided for that listing may be shared with creators in our community so they can reach out directly.

• With service providers — trusted third parties that process data on our behalf (for example, hosting, form, analytics, payment, scheduling, and community platform providers).

• For legal reasons — when required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

• In a business transfer — in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of assets.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website relies on and links to third-party services, including our community platform, payment processor, and scheduling tools. Their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as needed to operate our Services and respond to inquiries, and as required by law, unless you request deletion.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to opt out of certain uses. To make a request, contact us at hello@cqstudios.co. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and any cookie banner we provide.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website and Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Users

If you access our Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" above reflects the most recent version.
