Privacy Policy
Placeholder — pre-launch shell
This is a placeholder privacy policy describing how E8 Marketing, LLC handles applicant and creator information.
What we collect
When you apply to MyGearLink, we collect: your legal name, email address, phone number, mailing address, date of birth, social media handles, audience information, and your application responses.
Age & identity verification
Because the program is 21+, age verification requires a photo of your government-issued ID and a selfie. These images are encrypted at rest, accessible only to our review team, and used solely to confirm you are 21 or older and that the ID is yours. They are automatically deleted within 30 days of your application being processed. We do not sell or share them. To read the ID we use an automated document-reading service; the image is transmitted securely for that purpose and not used for any other.
How we use it
We use this information to evaluate your application, contact you regarding your status, and (if approved) onboard you into the program. Approved creators submit a W-9 for tax compliance purposes.
Who sees it
Application data is reviewed by E8 Marketing, LLC personnel and may be shared with West Coast Gifts where necessary for program administration. We do not sell your personal information.
Data retention
Approved creators' data is retained for the duration of the creator agreement plus the period required by tax and recordkeeping law. Declined applicant data is retained for up to 24 months and then deleted.
