Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how Horizon Group Entertainment LLC, doing business as Giant Media ("Giant Media," "we," "us" or "our"), collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information.
It covers our website at giantmedia.dev, our creator application form, and the emails, calls, text messages and direct messages we exchange with you (together, the "Services"). We are a Florida limited liability company at 7901 4th Street North, Suite 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702.
By using the Services or submitting an application, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Services.
Information we collect
We collect the information you give us, information created when we work together, and limited technical information from your visit.
Information you give us. When you apply through our form, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Links to your creator profiles, such as your subscription page and Instagram handle
- Your approximate current monthly earnings
- How you heard about us
We also collect anything else you choose to share when you contact us or we contact you. This can include your phone number, other social media accounts, messages, and details about your content, audience and goals.
Information from working together. If you become a client, we collect what we need to manage your account and pay you. This can include your legal name, mailing address, date of birth and proof of age, tax and payout details, signed agreements, and performance and earnings data from the platforms we manage for you.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may record your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the site that referred you, and the date and time of your visit.
Information from others. We may receive information about you from public profiles you link us to, from a creator or partner who referred you, or from advertising and analytics partners.
How we use your information
We use your information to review your application, stay in touch with you, and run our business. Specifically, we use it to:
- Review your application and decide whether we are a good fit
- Contact you about your application, a free assessment, or working with us
- Provide our management, marketing and account services if you become a client
- Pay you, keep records, and meet our tax and legal obligations
- Confirm that you are at least 18 years old
- Send you updates and offers about our services, which you can opt out of at any time
- Understand how people find and use our website, and improve it and our advertising
- Protect our business, our clients and our website from fraud, abuse and security threats
- Comply with the law, enforce our agreements, and respond to lawful requests
We will not use your information for a purpose that is materially different from these without telling you first.
How we contact you
When you apply or reach out, you agree that we may contact you about your application and our services by email, phone call, text message, or direct message on the social media accounts you share with us.
Email. Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link. We may still send you messages about your application or account after you unsubscribe.
Text messages. We only send texts if you give us your mobile number and agree to receive them. Agreeing is not a condition of working with us.
- Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help.
- We do not sell or share your mobile number or text-messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing.
Direct messages. If you contact us on social media, or give us your handles, we may reply or follow up there. You can ask us to stop at any time.
How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as described below.
- Our team. Employees and contractors who need it to do their jobs, such as account managers, marketers and chat staff. They must keep it confidential.
- Service providers. Companies that help us run our business, such as website hosting, email, messaging, scheduling, data storage, payments and accounting. They may only use your information to provide services to us.
- Platforms you work on. If you become a client, we use and share account information with the creator and social platforms we manage for you, as your agreement allows.
- Legal and safety reasons. When the law requires it, to respond to valid legal process, or to protect the rights, safety or property of Giant Media, our clients or others.
- Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, sale of assets, financing or similar deal, your information may transfer to the new owner under this Policy.
- With your consent. In any other case, only when you ask us to or agree to it.
Your privacy as a creator. We understand that the fact that you create content, and what you earn, can be sensitive. We do not publicly name the creators who apply to us or work with us, or share their earnings, without their permission.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Our website may use cookies, pixels and similar tools to keep it working, measure visits, and see which of our ads bring people to our site.
- Essential tools keep the site and the application form running and secure.
- Analytics tools tell us how many people visit, which pages they view, and where they came from.
- Advertising tools, such as social media pixels, tell us when someone who saw or clicked our ad visits our site or applies. The companies behind them may use this to show our ads to similar people.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and limit ad personalization in the settings of each social media or ad platform you use. Some parts of the site may not work properly without cookies.
Our website does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, as there is no common standard for them. Where the law requires it, we honor Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of targeted advertising.
How long we keep it and how we protect it
We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this Policy.
- Applications that don't lead to an agreement: up to 2 years after our last contact, so we can follow up if things change. You can ask us to delete it sooner.
- Clients: for as long as we work together, and afterwards for as long as we need it for tax, accounting, legal or dispute purposes.
- Website data: for as long as our hosting, analytics and advertising providers keep it under their own policies.
We protect your information with reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards. These include limiting access to the people who need it and using secure, access-controlled systems. No website, system or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We are based in the United States, and your information is stored and processed in the United States. If you contact us from another country, your information will be transferred to the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to see, fix or delete your information at any time. We will honor these requests whenever we reasonably can, wherever you live:
- Access: ask what information we hold about you and get a copy of it.
- Correction: ask us to fix information that is wrong or incomplete.
- Deletion: ask us to delete your information. We may keep what the law requires or what we need to complete a contract or resolve a dispute.
- Marketing opt-out: unsubscribe from emails, reply STOP to texts, or tell us to stop messaging you.
- Advertising opt-out: ask us not to use your information for targeted advertising.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law. Examples include certain U.S. state privacy laws and, for people in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR. These rights can include data portability, objecting to or restricting certain uses, and withdrawing consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before we act on it. We will respond within the time the law requires, and we will not treat you differently for using your rights. You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you, and we may ask that agent for proof of authority.
18+ only
Our Services are only for people who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has given us information, please contact us right away.
Other websites
Our website and messages may link to other websites and platforms, such as social media. Their own privacy policies apply, not this one, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will also tell you on our website or by email.
