Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 18, 2025

Plausy is a platform built to help creators receive support, sell products, and raise funds directly from their audience — without unnecessary barriers. Your privacy matters to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information when you use Plausy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you access or use Plausy.

Who We Are

Plausy is operated by Plausy (“Plausy”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a creator-first platform built for Africans, starting with Nigerians.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Plausy, including creators, supporters, and visitors.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Username
  • Email address
  • Profile information (bio, links, images)
  • Payment and payout details (processed by third-party payment providers)
  • Content you upload (posts, products, updates, campaign descriptions)

Creating a Plausy profile is free forever, and no credit card is required to sign up.

2. Payments & Payouts

Plausy does not store your card or bank details directly. Payments and payouts are handled by trusted third-party payment processors that support local and international payments, including African payment methods.

When a transaction occurs, we may receive:

  • Confirmation of payment

  • Payout status

We use this information only to:

3. Crowdfunding Data

If you create or contribute to a crowdfunding campaign, we collect information related to:

  • Campaign goals
  • Amount raised
  • Contributors (unless they choose to remain anonymous)
  • Updates and comments related to the campaign

This information is used to operate the crowdfunding feature transparently and securely.

4. Automatically Collected Information

Like most platforms, we automatically collect certain non-personal information, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Pages visited
  • Date and time of access

We use this data to:

  • Improve Plausy’s performance
  • Understand how the platform is used
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse

This data is typically aggregated and does not identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain Plausy
  • Enable creators to receive support and payments
  • Enable supporters to back creators
  • Operate product sales and crowdfunding campaigns
  • Communicate important updates
  • Respond to support requests
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and impersonation
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone.

Sharing of Information

We only share personal information when necessary:

  • With payment processors to complete transactions
  • With service providers who help us run Plausy (hosting, analytics, security)
  • When required by law or legal process

All partners are required to handle your data responsibly.
