We collate publicly available information about influential individuals (“you” or “your” in this privacy notice if we have obtained information about you). This pooled information, or ‘personal data’, is made available on AIfluence’s market-research database via AIfluence’s influencer relationship management platform (the “platform”) for its users to discover, evaluate and manage their engagement with influential people. ‘Personal data’ means any iinformation relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, in this case – you.

AIfluence respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy notice will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when it is used on our market-research database, your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

When a business customer of AIfluence uses our platform, that customer may enter information relating to influencers into its AIfluence account. To the extent that information constitutes personal data under the Data Protection Act (No. 24 of 2019 of the Laws of Kenya) (DPA), that information (excluding that certain publicly available influencer data for which AIfluence is the controller (as defined in the DPA)) is referred to in this privacy notice as “CRM-Stored Influencer Data”). To the extent we process CRM-Stored Influencer Data solely in order to provide the platform to a particular customer, under the DPA, to the extent applicable, we will act as a processor (as defined in the DPA) on behalf of that customer in respect of that CRM-Stored Influencer Data but not as a data controller. The applicable business customer will act as a controller in respect of that CRM-Stored Influencer Data and is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents and providing you with all requisite information as required by applicable law.

Depending on where you are located, you may have a right to make a complaint at any time to the applicable supervisory authority which regulates the processing of personal data in the country in which you are located.

1. The data we process and how it is obtained

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity or any other personal identifiers have been removed (anonymous data).

We collate, use, store and transfer different kinds of publicly available personal data about you which is obtained directly or indirectly via secondary sources such as social media networks and other Internet sources. This personal data may include the following:

a. your name, age and affiliated organization (if applicable);
b. your social media handle;
c. messages which you have shared publicly on social media; and
d. any other information you manifestly make public.

We may combine the above referenced personal data with information we receive from third parties relating to your social media audience to fulfil our contract with you. Such combined personal data, while anonymous with respect to your social media followers, is identifiable of you.

We are permitted under the DPA to indirectly collect personal data about you where:

  1. the data is contained in a public record;
  2. you have deliberately made the data public;
  3. you have, or in the event you are incapacitated your guardian has, consented to the collection from another source; or
  4. the collection from another source would not prejudice your interest.

2. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data to the extent that the law allows us to do so. We will use your personal data where it is necessary to pursue our contractual interests with you, or any other legitimate interests and your interests and where your fundamental rights do not override those interests.

As part of these legitimate interests, the platform may benefit you as an influencer by facilitating your connection with companies (and their brands) to enable those companies to expand your presence in the influencer marketing ecosystem and to enhance your subject-matter expertise. Influencers often reach out to us and request to be included on the platform. The platform also affords a mutual benefit to both brands and influencers by empowering brands and influencers to build meaningful relationships for their shared gain. Additionally, the platform affords a greater public benefit by facilitating the growth and development of, and insight into, the wider influencer marketing ecosystem.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data

We process your personal data for the purposes of allowing users of our platform and associated market-research database to discover, evaluate and manage their engagement with influential people. In addition to allowing users to conduct market research, as noted above, we will use your personal data to connect you through our platform with companies (and their brands).

In particular, we would like you to be aware that the AIfluence platform uses algorithms to construct profiles about individual influencers and therefore we may use the personal data described in Section 1 of this privacy notice so that an evaluation can be made about your behaviour, preferences and interests (among other things). Under some Data Protection Laws (to the extent applicable), this usage may be considered profiling. In particular, these algorithms assess your reach (e.g. size of your social media audience), relevance (e.g. the contextual affinity of your content to AIfluence’s customers’ areas of interest) and resonance (e.g. audience engagement with your social media content) in various areas. “Profiling” in this case is taken to mean any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to an individual, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that individual’s race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic social origin, skin type, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress, language or birth; personal preferences, interests, behaviour, location or movements”. To the extent AIfluence’s processing constitutes profiling under the DPA (to the extent applicable), you have the right to specifically object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of profiling in accordance with paragraph 7 below. To learn more, please reach out to privacyl@ai-fluence.com.

We may also use your personal data where such use is required to fulfil our legal or regulatory obligations, and/or where such use is necessary to provide the services in connection with our agreement.

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop processing your personal data. To do this, email support@ai-fluence.com.

3. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the persons and in the contexts set out below:

a. users of our platform and associated market-research database;
b. service providers who provide us with IT, system administration, and other services;
c. professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services;
d. persons to whom we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, including without limitation public authorities who may need to see your personal data to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, and regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances;
e. third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice;
f. third parties with whom we may be required to communicate if we discontinue our business, or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar insolvency petition, application or proceeding;
g. our Corporate Affiliates; for the purposes of this privacy notice: “Corporate Affiliate” means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with AIfluence, whether by ownership or otherwise; and “control” means possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or operations of an entity, whether through ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and
h. third parties with whom we may be required to communicate in order to enforce or apply the terms of our agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AIfluence, our customers, or others.

We use reasonable efforts to ensure that all third parties respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. Apart from users of our market-research database, who will separately be required to adhere to privacy laws when dealing with your personal data, we do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our documented instructions.

4. International transfers

Where we use certain service providers in circumstances requiring a transfer of your personal data outside your jurisdiction, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it from a technical, organisational and legal perspective. We only transfer your Personal Data out of your jurisdiction where it is necessary and lawful to do so. If we rely on another basis to transfer your Personal Data outside of your jurisdiction (such as your consent), we will keep you updated or contact you as required.

Please contact us by emailing privacy@ai-fluence.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used and the safeguards implemented by us when transferring your personal data outside your jurisdiction.

5. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures intended to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. Processors of your personal data acting on our documented instructions will only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

6. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was obtained. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Once your AIfluence influencer account expires or is deleted, we will either delete or anonymise your personal data. We may retain your personal data where it is required to fulfil a legal obligation. We may also retain your data for analytical/statistical reasons, but will anonymise your data in this case.

7. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you may have certain rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including to:

Be informed of the use to which your personal data is to be put, which we have duly notified you in this Privacy Notice.

Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your personal data unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In particular, as set out above to the extent AIfluence’s processing constitutes profiling under applicable Data Protection Laws, you have the right to specifically object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of profiling. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please make a request in the prescribed form under applicable data protection laws. To opt-out, you may also send an email to support@ai-fluence.com. Please note that AIfluence reserves the right to refuse any request to exercise such rights to the extent permitted by applicable law.

No fee usually required

You generally will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee for expenses incurred by us in providing such access. We may refuse to comply with your request as permitted by applicable law.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

8. Changes of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was obtained, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us by emailing  privacy@ai-fluence.com.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will update this privacy notice and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. If we do so, the latest version of our privacy notice will always be posted on our website.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules as regards safeguarding the data, where this is required or permitted by law.

9. Changes to our privacy notice

Any changes we make to this privacy notice in the future will be posted to our website. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to this privacy notice.

You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with consumer information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the consumer information relates to you.

If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested, or refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.

California residents who opt in to consumer information sales may opt out of future sales at any time.
