Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Who we are

Zerpd ("we", "us", "our") is a clipping campaign platform for creators, streamers, brands, clippers, and teams. Zerpd helps people manage source content, campaign participation, clip submissions, approvals, verification, budgets, and rewards. Our platform is accessible at zerpd.com. For privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@zerpd.com.

2. What data we collect

We collect the following types of data when you use Zerpd:

Account information

Name, email address, and password (hashed) when you create an account. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.

Business information

Business name, industry, and goals you provide during onboarding to personalise your experience.

Social media data

When you connect an eligible social account, we may access profile or channel information, public posts, thumbnails, publishing details, and engagement or performance metrics through the platform's official API. We request only the access needed for the connection and never request your social-media password.

Usage data

How you interact with our platform, features you use, and general analytics to improve our service.

3. How we use your data

  • To provide and operate the Zerpd platform
  • To display your social media analytics and insights
  • To generate personalised content ideas, hooks, and CTAs for your niche
  • To send you service-related emails (account confirmations, important updates)
  • To improve and develop new features for the platform
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Google and YouTube data usage

Google sign-in and YouTube channel connection are separate consent flows. Google sign-in gives Zerpd basic account information such as your name, email address, and profile image. If you choose to connect YouTube, Zerpd requests read-only YouTube access and may collect:

  • Your channel ID, title, handle, channel URL, profile image, subscriber count, and connection status
  • Recent eligible video IDs, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, public URLs, publication dates, duration, availability, and public engagement metrics
  • Updated view, like, and comment counts used to verify campaign submissions and show performance in Zerpd

We use this data to verify that you control the connected channel, import posts you choose to use in Zerpd, connect eligible published posts to campaigns, and refresh verified performance. Zerpd does not use this permission to upload, edit, publish, or delete YouTube content.

When you submit a YouTube post to a campaign, the relevant workspace owner and authorised campaign participants may see the public post details and verified performance needed to operate that campaign. We do not sell Google or YouTube user data, and we do not use it for advertising.

OAuth tokens are encrypted and used server-side only. You can disconnect YouTube from Zerpd at any time. Disconnecting revokes the provider authorization where available, stops future synchronization, and deletes the imported YouTube channel, post, thumbnail, and metric data associated with that connection. Campaign, reward, payment, fraud-prevention, and legal audit records may be retained where necessary without the removed YouTube identifiers or content.

You can also review or revoke Zerpd's Google access from Google's connected-app security settings.

Zerpd's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Your use of the connection is also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.

5. Instagram data usage

When you connect your Instagram account to Zerpd, we access your data via the Instagram Graph API solely to provide you with analytics and insights within our platform. Specifically:

  • We access your follower count, post data, reach, impressions, and engagement metrics
  • We store this data securely in our database to power your analytics dashboard
  • We never post, publish, or modify any content on your Instagram account
  • We never sell your Instagram data to third parties
  • You can disconnect your Instagram account at any time from your settings

Your use of Instagram through Zerpd is also subject to Instagram's Privacy Policy.

6. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

  • ·Service providers: Neon (database hosting), Vercel (hosting), Google (authentication and YouTube API services), and other connected-platform providers. These providers process data only as needed to provide their services.
  • ·Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
  • ·Business transfer: If Zerpd is acquired, your data may transfer to the new owner under the same privacy protections.

7. Data retention and deletion

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Connected-platform data is refreshed or removed according to the provider's requirements and is not kept indefinitely. YouTube authorisation is revalidated during metric synchronisation, and stored YouTube API data is refreshed at least every 30 days while the connection remains active.

Disconnecting YouTube in Zerpd removes the connection and associated imported YouTube API data immediately. If you revoke access through Google or ask us to delete that data, we will remove it as soon as possible and within the period required by YouTube's policies. If you delete your Zerpd account, we delete personal data as soon as practical, subject to legal, fraud-prevention, financial, and dispute-retention obligations.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

If you are in the EU or UK, you have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your data
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format
  • Objection: Object to processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@zerpd.com.

9. Cookies

Zerpd uses essential cookies for authentication (keeping you logged in) and preference storage (theme settings). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

10. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and secure database hosting. No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at hello@zerpd.com.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or via a notice on the platform. Continued use of Zerpd after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
