- To create and manage your D3 Creator account
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure
- To improve, maintain, and operate the Service
- To respond to your support requests and communicate with you about your account or important service notices
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse

We process your personal data on the following lawful bases under the GDPR: (a) performance of a contract with you (providing the Service); (b) your consent (where applicable, for marketing communications or optional features); and (c) our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service.
3. Third-Party Services We Use
D3 Creator relies on the following third-party services to deliver its features. Each third party is responsible for its own data handling under its own privacy policy.
- Meta Platforms (Facebook & Instagram API) — used to fetch authorized analytics data from your Facebook and Instagram accounts via OAuth.
- TikTok Developer API — used to fetch authorized analytics data from your TikTok account via OAuth.
- Apify — used to fetch publicly available data from Douyin and Xiaohongshu (RedNote) profile URLs you submit. Only public data is accessed; private insights are not available for these platforms.
- Supabase (PostgreSQL hosting) — used to securely store your account information and analytics data. Supabase’s data centers operate in the region we select and follow industry-standard security practices.
- Vercel — used to host the web application and serve it to your browser.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your personal data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted by Supabase. We implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit using TLS / HTTPS
- Encryption of data at rest at the database provider level
- Passwords stored using one-way cryptographic hashing (bcrypt)
- Access controls and authentication for our administrative systems
- Regular monitoring for security incidents
While we use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your data, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal information within ninety (90) days, except where we are required by law to retain it longer (for example, for tax or accounting purposes).
6. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”) — you may request that we delete your personal data.
- Right to data portability — you may request to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to restrict or object to processing — you may request that we restrict or stop processing your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
- Right to lodge a complaint — you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in Malaysia, the Personal Data Protection Commissioner).
You can exercise most of these rights directly from your account settings, or by emailing us at privacy@d3-creator.vercel.app. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days.
7. Disconnecting Social Media Accounts
You may disconnect any connected social media account at any time from your D3 Creator dashboard. Once disconnected, we will revoke the relevant OAuth tokens and stop fetching new analytics data for that account. Historical analytics snapshots already collected may remain in your account until you delete them or delete your D3 Creator account.
You can also revoke our access directly from the social platform’s settings (for example, in your Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok app permissions).
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required to keep you logged in and to remember your language and theme preferences. These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies — privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the Service is used in aggregate. No cross-site tracking is performed.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
9. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States and the European Union, where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your personal data during these transfers.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete the information promptly.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide a more prominent notice (for example, via email or an in-app notification). Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
