Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Klout ("we," "our," or "us") operates the klout.gg platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:

• Wallet address — your Solana wallet public key, used for authentication and payments.
• Social media accounts — when you link your X (Twitter) or YouTube account, we store your user/channel ID, username, and access tokens to verify ownership of submitted content.
• Profile information — optional username and profile picture you choose to set.
• Campaign submissions — links to social media posts or videos you submit, along with publicly available engagement metrics (views, likes, comments).

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Klout platform.
• To verify ownership of social media accounts and submitted content.
• To calculate engagement metrics and Klout scores.
• To process payments and payouts via Solana blockchain.
• To detect fraud, bot activity, and enforce platform rules.
• To send notifications about campaign activity and submissions.

4. Third-Party Services

We integrate with the following third-party services:

• X (Twitter) API — to fetch post metrics and verify account ownership.
• YouTube Data API — to fetch video metrics and verify channel ownership. Use of YouTube data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Solana blockchain — for payment processing. Blockchain transactions are public and permanent.

5. Data Storage and Security

We store your data on secure servers. OAuth tokens are stored server-side and never exposed to the client. While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. You can unlink your social media accounts at any time through your profile settings. Campaign submission data is retained for the duration of the campaign and payout period.
