Creator Privacy Notice
This notice explains how we use your information when you apply to create with Decide.
Who we are
Douro Ventures Ltd is the controller of your information; our company details are at the foot of this page. Contact us about anything in this notice at support@getdecideapp.com.
What we collect
- Your name, email address, country of residence, city or town, and phone number if you give one.
- Your languages, themes, profile and work links, audience countries, preferred type of collaboration and whether you have an iPhone.
- Your confirmations (age, terms) and your optional choices, with the date and the version of the wording you saw.
- The status of your application and our notes about it.
- Limited technical information needed to run and protect the form. To limit repeated submissions we keep a code derived from your IP address — not the address itself.
We do not ask for sensitive information. These pages use no cookies, analytics or advertising tools, and we do not fetch or analyse your links automatically.
Unfinished applications
When you continue from Step 1, we save your answers as a draft so you can finish later. If you do not finish, we may send you up to two emails reminding you that you can; they contain no marketing. You can finish a draft within 7 days; it is deleted within 14 days of being started, or sooner if you ask.
How we use it, and why we are allowed to
- To assess your application and contact you about it: because you asked us to consider you for work (steps before a possible contract).
- To keep your draft and send up to two completion reminders, to keep an unsuccessful application for a short time so we can answer questions about it, and to protect the form from abuse: our legitimate interests in running the application process properly. You can object at any time.
- To invite you by email to future Decide campaigns, or to campaigns for other projects owned by Douro Ventures Ltd, and to contact you on WhatsApp about this application: only with your consent, given by ticking each box. We confirm by email before a first invitation.
- To keep a record of your choices and of requests you make about your information: our legal obligations and legitimate interests.
We do not make automated decisions about you, and we do not use your information for advertising.
Who can see it
The people at Douro Ventures Ltd who run the creators programme, and the service providers we use for hosting, database storage, security and email, who act only on our instructions. We do not sell your information. We may disclose it if the law requires.
Our team and service providers may process your information outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or on appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
- Unfinished drafts: deleted within 14 days of being started.
- Applications: deleted within 90 days of submission, unless you confirm that you want future invitations.
- If you confirm future invitations: up to 12 months from your confirmation or your last reply to us, whichever is later.
- A record of your choices, including any “no” to invitations, is kept while we hold your other information, so that we keep respecting it.
- The submission-limiting code: deleted within about a week.
Deleted information can remain in our hosting backups for up to 30 days. If we sign an agreement with you, that agreement says how long its records are kept.
Your choices and rights
You can withdraw any permission, or ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict or stop using your information, or to give you a copy, by writing to support@getdecideapp.com. It is free and does not affect your application. To protect your information we reply to, or ask you to confirm from, the email address you applied with.
Complaints
You can complain to us at support@getdecideapp.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint), or to the data protection authority where you live.
