Effective date: September 16 , 2026

Creator Tools Hub, available at https://creatortoolshub.net, is owned and operated by Digital Wave Synergy Co., based in Frederick, Maryland, United States.

In this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Digital Wave Synergy Co. We are responsible for deciding how personal information is used in connection with our directory and communications. Where applicable data protection law uses the term, we act as the “data controller.”

This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to you. It applies to website visitors, people who contact us, listing contributors, and individuals whose personal information appears in directory listings.

“Personal information” means information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to an individual. Business information can also be personal information when it identifies someone, such as a sole proprietor, a named business contact, or the holder of an individual email address.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

We collect information you choose to provide when you contact us or use forms and features available on the website. Depending on your interaction, this may include:

• Your name and email address.
• Your business or product name, website address, and business contact information.
• Listing descriptions, images, logos, and other submitted content.
• Messages, questions, support requests, and correspondence.
• Information needed to investigate a correction, removal, or privacy request.
• Your communication preferences and records of consent where relevant.

Where a form requires particular information, the form should identify it. If you do not provide information necessary to handle a request, we may be unable to complete that request.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information or confidential material in submissions or messages unless we specifically request it for a necessary purpose.

Information collected through the website

Our website platform and service providers may process technical information needed to deliver, maintain, and protect the website. This can include:

• IP address.
• Browser, operating system, and device information.
• Access times, referring pages, and pages requested.
• Error reports and security logs.

Collection through analytics, advertising, cookies, and similar technologies depends on the services enabled on the website. Section 5 addresses these technologies.

Information from public sources

We prepare directory listings using information from official product websites and other public business sources.

This information may include business and product names, website addresses, descriptions, and publicly listed business contact details. Some information may identify an individual.

Public availability does not remove the protections that applicable privacy law gives to personal information. You may contact us to ask about the source of your information or request its correction or removal.

2. How We Use Information

We use personal information for purposes connected with operating Creator Tools Hub, including to:

• Operate, maintain, and protect the website.
• Prepare, review, publish, update, and manage directory listings.
• Respond to inquiries and provide assistance.
• Handle correction, removal, and privacy requests.
• Communicate about submissions or services you request.
• Send newsletters or marketing messages when you subscribe or otherwise give permission where required.
• Understand website use through any analytics described in Section 5.
• Detect technical problems, fraud, and misuse.
• Meet legal obligations and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We use AI tools to help prepare original listing descriptions from publicly available product and business information. If information supplied to those tools identifies an individual, it remains subject to applicable privacy requirements.

Legal bases where European or UK data protection law applies

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation or UK GDPR applies to our processing, the relevant legal bases are:

• Contract: Processing necessary to provide a service you request or take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legitimate interests: Processing necessary to operate a useful and accurate business directory, respond to general inquiries, maintain security, and prevent misuse, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Consent: Processing for purposes for which we request your consent, including marketing or tracking where consent is required.
• Legal obligations: Processing necessary to meet applicable legal duties.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

[BEFORE PUBLICATION: Confirm the legal bases against the website’s actual activities, including any personal information obtained from public sources, and determine whether additional individual privacy notices are required.]

3. Information Published in Listings

Our directory includes both independently prepared listings and information submitted for publication.

Public listing information may include a business or product name, description, website address, images, and designated business contact details.

Information published in a listing can be viewed, copied, or indexed by search engines and other third parties. Please do not include private contact details or confidential information in material intended for publication.

Corrections and removal requests

If a listing contains your personal information and you want it corrected or removed, contact legal@creatortoolshub.net. Include the listing address and identify the information concerned.

Business owners and authorized representatives may also contact us about disputed material in their listings. We will promptly remove the disputed material from public view while addressing the request. We do not charge a removal fee.

We may request limited information reasonably needed to confirm the request or the requester’s authority.

Removing public content does not necessarily delete related correspondence, records we must retain, or backup copies immediately. Section 7 explains retention.

We cannot guarantee that third parties will remove copies they independently hold. Where applicable law requires us to notify recipients of a correction or deletion, we will take the required steps.

4. When We Share Information

We disclose personal information as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to:

• Website and infrastructure providers: Creator Tools Hub uses Directify to operate the directory. Directify and its infrastructure providers process information needed to deliver, maintain, and secure the website.
• Email and communications providers: Services that process inquiries, correspondence, website messages, and subscribed communications.
• AI service providers: Tools used to help prepare listing descriptions, including Claude, provided by Anthropic, receive the source material supplied to them. That material may include personal information contained in public business sources.
• The public: Information published in directory listings, as described in Section 3.
• Professional advisers and relevant authorities: Where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to address legal claims, fraud, security incidents, or threats to people’s rights or safety.

A service provider’s access depends on the service it performs and the information involved.

[BEFORE PUBLICATION: Confirm all services that actually receive personal information. Add any payment processors, analytics providers, advertising or affiliate partners, and additional AI services. Identify the information disclosed and its purpose, including whether AI providers retain inputs or use them for their own purposes. Add account, billing, or transaction-data disclosures if those features will be offered.]

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Affiliate Tracking

Cookies and similar technologies can support website functions such as security, account sessions, preferences, audience measurement, and referral tracking.

The technologies used on Creator Tools Hub depend on the website’s configuration and enabled services.

If affiliate links are used, the destination business or affiliate network may process referral information to attribute a visit or purchase. The relevant information practices depend on the particular affiliate arrangement.

Consent and opt-out requirements depend on the technology, its purpose, and applicable law.

[BEFORE PUBLICATION: Replace this note with the actual tracking practices. Identify the cookies and other technologies used, their providers, purposes, and duration; explain the available consent and withdrawal controls; disclose whether personal information is sold or shared for targeted advertising under applicable legal definitions; and state how the website responds to Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Add any required privacy-choice links and ensure those controls work.]

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functions.

Browser settings do not replace any consent or opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

6. Links to Other Websites

Our directory links to websites and services operated by other businesses.

When you follow a link, the destination website handles personal information according to its own privacy practices. Those practices may differ from ours.

Review the destination website’s privacy policy before creating an account, making a purchase, or providing personal information.

A business’s inclusion in our directory does not make its privacy practices part of this policy.

7. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.

The criteria we use include:

• Listing information: Whether the listing remains relevant and active, whether the information is accurate, and whether a correction or removal request has been received.
• Inquiries and correspondence: The time needed to respond, resolve the matter, and maintain appropriate records of the interaction.
• Marketing records: Whether you remain subscribed and whether a limited suppression record is needed to respect an unsubscribe request.
• Technical and security information: The period needed to operate the website, investigate problems, and protect against misuse.
• Legal and administrative records: Any applicable legal retention period or ongoing dispute.

When information is no longer needed, we delete it or remove identifying details.

Deletion from backups may follow the relevant provider’s backup cycle. Information retained for a legal obligation or unresolved claim is kept only for the relevant purpose.

8. Protecting Information

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the personal information we handle and the services we operate.

No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

If you believe information connected with Creator Tools Hub has been exposed or misused, contact legal@creatortoolshub.net.

Where a security incident triggers notification duties, we will provide the notices required by applicable law.

9. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.

Additional rights depend on your location, the information involved, and whether the relevant law applies to our activities.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

Where applicable, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information and receive a copy.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion.
• Restrict certain processing.
• Receive eligible information in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent.
• Complain to the relevant data protection authority, including the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Right to object: Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object to processing based on your particular circumstances. You may object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

Applicable law may also provide protections concerning decisions made solely through automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.

[BEFORE PUBLICATION: Confirm whether any automated decision-making or profiling requiring additional disclosures is used. AI-assisted writing of product descriptions should be distinguished from automated decisions about individuals.]

United States, including California

Where applicable state privacy law grants these rights, you may request:

• Confirmation of whether we process your personal information.
• Access to information about its collection, use, and disclosure.
• Correction, deletion, or a portable copy.
• An opt-out from sales of personal information, targeted advertising, or certain profiling.
• An appeal of a denied privacy request.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, applies, California residents may also have rights to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising and to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

Canada

Where PIPEDA or applicable provincial privacy law applies, you may request access to your personal information, information about its use and disclosure, and correction of inaccuracies.

You may also withdraw consent, subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. We will explain relevant consequences where withdrawal affects a requested service.

You may raise concerns with our Privacy Contact or the appropriate Canadian privacy commissioner.

Other locations

You may have additional rights under the laws that apply in your location. Contact us to make a request. Nothing in this policy limits rights that applicable law gives you.

How to submit a request

Email legal@creatortoolshub.net and describe your request. Include the relevant listing address if your request concerns a listing.

We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity or authority and locate the relevant records. Verification requirements depend on the request; we will not require identity verification for an opt-out where applicable law prohibits it.

Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf.

We respond within applicable legal deadlines. If an exception prevents us from fulfilling a request, we will explain the decision as required by law.

Where an appeal right applies, you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing us with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line. You may also complain to the appropriate regulator.

Marketing choices

You may unsubscribe using the option in a marketing email or by contacting us.

We may still send messages needed to respond to your requests, provide a requested service, or communicate important administrative information.

10. International Processing

Digital Wave Synergy Co. operates from the United States. Personal information may be processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your location.

[BEFORE PUBLICATION: Identify the relevant processing countries and explain the safeguards actually used for any international transfers requiring them. Confirm applicable provider agreements and transfer mechanisms, explain how individuals can obtain information about those safeguards, and add an EEA or UK representative’s contact details if one is required.]

11. Children’s Privacy

Creator Tools Hub is intended for an adult business and creator audience and is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, contact us so we can investigate and arrange deletion as appropriate.

Where applicable law provides additional protections for older children or teenagers, we will handle their information in accordance with those requirements.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our website, services, or information practices change.

We will publish the revised policy on this page and update its effective date.

For significant changes, we will provide additional notice and obtain consent when required by applicable law. Publishing an updated policy does not replace a requirement to obtain consent.
