1. Introduction

Storika Inc. ("Storika," "we," "us," "our") provides the Storika application (the "App"), which facilitates the sending of messages from brands ("Clients") to social media creators ("Creators") via Meta platforms (including, but not limited to, Instagram and Facebook Messenger). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the Personal Information (defined below) of Clients and Creators who interact with our App.

Storika is committed to protecting the privacy of its users and complying with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and Meta's Platform Terms and Developer Policies. By accessing or using the App, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

For the purposes of this Policy, "Personal Information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

2.1.1 Clients

When a Client registers for an account, we collect Personal Information such as the Client's name, email address, company name, phone number, and billing information. Billing information is processed through a third-party payment processor, and we do not store full credit card details on our servers. When a Client creates a campaign, we collect information about the brand, campaign objectives, and target audience, which may include Personal Information.

2.1.2 Creators

Creators are not required to create an account to interact with messages sent via the App. However, when a Creator responds to a message sent by a Client through the App, we collect any Personal Information the Creator provides in their response, which may include, but is not limited to, their name, social media handle, contact information, and any other information they voluntarily disclose.

2.2 Information from Meta Platforms

2.2.1 Clients

To facilitate the sending of messages, we utilize the Meta Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including, but not limited to, the Messenger API and Instagram Graph API. We access only the minimum necessary Personal Information from the Client's connected Meta account to enable message sending to Creators.

2.2.2 Creators

When a Client sends a message to a Creator via the App, we receive information from Meta related to message delivery and interaction, such as delivery confirmation, open status, and link click-throughs.
