Privacy Policy

Efstathios Dimitriadis built the Sponsoreta app as a commercial service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Service.

Information We Collect

To provide and improve our Service, and to comply with verification requirements, we collect the following types of personal information:

• Identity Information: including government-issued identification documents (such as passports, driver’s licenses, or national IDs) and selfie photos used for identity verification.
• Contact Information: such as your username, email address, and physical address.
• Payment Information: credit card details and transaction data required to process the one-time verification fee.
• Location Ownership Documentation: If you apply to list a location on the platform, we may collect legal documentation to verify your ownership or authorization. This may include property deeds, lease agreements, utility bills, business licenses, or certificates of occupancy.
• Usage and Log Data: technical information like your IP address, device information, and app usage logs collected automatically.
• Media Content: photos and videos you upload as part of your profile or interactions within the app.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Verify your identity to maintain a trusted and safe platform.
• Verify venue ownership and eligibility for listing on the platform.
• Process payments securely and efficiently.
• Provide, operate, and improve our Service.
• Communicate with you regarding your account and support requests.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.

Information Storage and Security

We take the security of your sensitive information seriously. All government-issued IDs, selfies, and payment information are stored using industry-standard encryption both in transit and at rest. Access to this information is strictly limited to authorized personnel involved in verification and payment processing.

Location ownership documents are stored securely using the same encryption standards applied to identity and payment information. Access is limited to authorized team members responsible for location verification and compliance.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in:

• Performing identity verification checks.
• Processing credit card payments.
• Operating analytics and error tracking tools.

These third parties are obligated to use your information only for the purposes we specify and are required to protect it appropriately.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information through the app’s account settings.
• Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal or operational restrictions (e.g., verification status or transaction records).
• Opt-out of certain data collection where applicable, though this may limit use of some platform features.
