Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information — such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Site.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Site. This information does not reveal your identity (like your residential address). Still, it may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, approx location, information about how and when you use our and other technical details. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. This information also tracks clicks on Advertisements, prevents spam, and ensures security.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

The Data We Collect

The data that we use belongs to and is sourced from you automatically by our servers. But we ensure that it is not the data unique to you to ensure it cannot be misused. We won’t use your passwords, email-ids etc., until you permit us to use them, like when you register on our website; we send you emails about the Creations you publish. We can use your search history to show some ads for relevant products, but we won’t share your email id with other sources. We also use it to communicate with you.

Sometimes for Creators that earn via Milyin, we also collect Government ID and Tax IDs to check for their legitimacy. This is NOT collected for tax purposes, as Milyin currently is not a registered business. We collect this to ensure same individual is not creating via multiple accounts.

GDPR

In order to comply with GDPR Policy, we have made arrangements where you can opt yourself to be not included in Member Directory; this ensures that none of your personal information is visible to others or used by Milyin. This shall ensure that no data such as bio-data, birthday, or phone no. is visually publicly or used by Milyin. However, some users may directly have your profile link and would be able to access that information. These Privacy options don’t make you invisible. They make you harder to discover. Similarly, we give you the opportunity to publish Creation privately. These Creations aren’t visible on the usual pages of Milyin but can be accessed through links and may get indexed by search engines.

However, it may still be visible to admins of Milyin, but that would not be used for any purpose other than communicating the necessary information. Your passwords are safe with us and are not visible to anyone, regardless of whether you opt out of Member Directory. If you wish to get your data, you need to mail us at [email protected] from the email id of the account from which the data is required. We send them within 48 hours of receiving mail. We also have the support for the right to be forgotten. You can delete your account in account settings, and this would ensure all your data shall be deleted over Milyin. Though we will retain certain information like your transaction history or communications with Milyin.

Please be aware all information talked here is about data at Milyin’s servers. 3rd party websites/servers (like advertising networks, push notification partners, SMTP services, and more) may store information outside this scope.

– We retain all payments, earning claims, and engagements with Monetization tools indefinitely. This is done to have all relevant data in case of financial disputes.

– IP-driven data is stored for all users. Generally this is to track the monetization block engagements, analytics, etc. This data is IP-specific and cannot be directly linked to a given user ID.

Information immediately deleted after your account deletion (some of these might remain in cache, but are likely to be flushed within 24 hours of deletion):

  • Profile picture
  • Cover photo
  • Signature
  • Biography
  • Comments
  • Likes, Dislikes
  • Account settings

Data that will be deleted after some time:

  • Daily Stats: We retain Daily Stats of last 65 days. So it would take 65 days to wipe out all past data.

Generally, you have the right to use or delete your account. But, in certain cases, we might find you lacking policy compliance and reject your membership. Rejected accounts are given 30 days to appeal and overturn the decision made by us via email.

Since you have the right to appeal, we keep all your data safe and the rejected accounts are deleted between 35 to 40 days of rejection. Even for rejected accounts, you can choose to get your account immediately deleted by contacting us directly.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Some data such as IP address, device details, operation system, browser, and more may be tracked periodically for security purposes. This is done solely to identify any security threats like Brute-Force attacks on your account.

Your advertisement clicks are explicitly stored with your IP address, time, and type of ads on Milyin. We intend to retain them indefinitely to better recognise fake clicks and fight against spammers. The ad clicks are not associated with any user, account, or entity’s name. We only store the IP and associated details with the actual click (time, URL, Ad Type). Therefore the data cannot be used to uniquely identify you.
