Company InformationThis Privacy Policy is issued by AVGUST - FZCO, a company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We operate globally and are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our users in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
In addition to our own services, we also represent the interests of creators and bloggers as producers, providing them with infrastructure, tools, and support to build and monetize their communities. Data collected through our platforms may include information submitted on behalf of the creators we partner with.

• Phone Number – used to identify your client record in our CRM system and for communication purposes.
• Social Media Nicknames – including Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn – used to link your activity across platforms, personalize interactions, and manage access.

We also collect additional information through optional questionnaires, surveys, waiting lists, and application forms, including those distributed in various languages. This data helps us understand our audience, refine our offerings, and improve the services we provide.

5. Data SecurityWe take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of your personal data, including encryption, secure servers, and access control limited to authorized personnel.
Your data may be stored and processed on servers located outside your country of residence, including in jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of data protection as your local laws.
By submitting your personal information, you acknowledge and agree to this cross-border transfer, processing, and storage in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable regulations.
6. Sharing Data with Third PartiesWe do not share your personal data with third parties for advertising or sales purposes. We may use third-party services (such as CRM systems, analytics, and bot management tools) to help manage communication and operations. These services process data only under our instruction and in compliance with data protection standards, including the GDPR.
7. Optional Questionnaires and SurveysIn addition to our initial Application form (waiting list), we may ask you to complete other questionnaires for the purpose of profile reviews, customer development, research, or community engagement.
Participation in such surveys is always voluntary, and collected data is used solely to improve services and analyze audience needs. The data may be stored in our CRM but is never shared externally.

11. Partial Data Collection and Communication via Social PlatformsIf a user provides partial data (e.g., name without email) and does not complete registration, we may store this information internally. If you provide your Instagram or other platform handle, we may follow up via direct message or bot messaging, but we will not use this data for marketing or mailing lists unless explicit consent is given (e.g., by submitting your email).
