Privacy Policy

RealizeUS is a membership home where a community and the creator it trusts can meet without being farmed for data. When this document says “RealizeUS,” “we,” or “us,” it means this platform and everything served through it: RealizeUS.com, www.Realizeus.me, creator pages on our own or connected domains, our embeds and feeds, and any mobile or assistant integration we publish.

This policy sits alongside our Terms of Use. It is a straight account of what we gather, why we need it, who ever sees it, and how you can look at it, fix it, or have it wiped.

Three commitments shape every line below. We ask only for what the service genuinely cannot run without. We never sell you, rent you, or auction your attention to advertising networks. And every promise here comes with a working button, not just a paragraph — see “Your grip on your own data.”

If any of this does not sit right with you, please do not use RealizeUS. If something is unclear, write to us the way described in “Reaching a human about privacy.”

This is anything you type, upload, or choose in the app. How much we need depends on what you are doing — reading, opening an account, joining a tier, buying something, or publishing as a creator. Opening an account usually means telling us:

• the name you want shown to others;
• an email address we can actually reach you at;
• the handle you want your page or profile to use;
• a password, which we keep only as a salted hash and never in readable form;
• the country or region you live in; and
• optionally, the subjects and creators you care about, so your first screen is not empty.

You can also come in through a Google sign-in. In that case Google passes us a small set of basics — an account identifier, your name, your email address, and your profile picture — under the permission you grant. Revoking RealizeUS inside your Google account settings stops that sharing immediately and also ends your ability to sign in that way. How Google handles the data on their side is governed by their own policy, not ours.

Anything extra you add to a public profile — a location, an about section, shop or Fruit links, social accounts — is stored with the rest of your account information and shown where you placed it.

Readers, followers, and members

A reader is anyone here to follow creators and take part in a community — commenting, reacting, sending a message. A member is a reader who has subscribed or bought something and may be owed benefits in return. Members give payment details to our payment partner, not to us: their system returns a token that stands in for the card, and all we keep beside it is the card brand, the final four digits, the expiry, and the billing country. Your full card number never touches our database.

We do record which creators you support, which tier or offering you bought, and which benefits are due to you, because that is the substance of the agreement. If a benefit ships physically, we will ask for a delivery address. Where we need a rough idea of where you are — for tax, currency, or compliance — we infer it from the country you told us, your network address, and the country attached to your card.

Creators

A creator is anyone who publishes a page here so their community can follow, join, or buy. Setting that up means describing your work and the benefits attached to each tier. Getting paid means an account with one of our payment partners and, in most places, tax details. Depending on your country and what you publish, some mix of the following may be required:

• email address and, where verification demands it, a phone number;
• your legal first and last name;
• a business, ministry, or trading name if you use one;
• a postal address;
• taxpayer identification, company registration, and/or VAT numbers;
• date of birth;
• country of citizenship or residence;
• a nonprofit registration number, where that status applies;
• bank or payout account details, held by the payment partner; and
• identity documents or proof of address, only where financial regulation obliges us to verify you.

Technical signals

Some information arrives simply because a browser has to talk to a server. It reaches us whether or not you have an account — when you open a page here, load one of our embeds elsewhere, pull a feed, or open an email we sent. That includes:

• your network (IP) address;
• an approximate location worked out from that address;
• your browser and device type;
• your operating system and its version;
• screen size and language preference;
• the page that referred you, including any parameters on it;
• device or application identifiers;
• which links you follow and which posts you open;
• how long a session or a media playback lasts; and
• cookies and browser storage, including the theme, transparency, dimming, and menu-side settings you chose.

Messages, comments, and reactions

Conversation on RealizeUS has to be stored to exist. When you send or receive a direct message, comment on a post, or are named in one, we hold that text along with the surrounding facts — when it was written, who it was addressed to, and who has opened it.

View counts and creator insight

We count views of creator pages and posts using an anonymous visitor marker kept in your own browser, plus the path and the time. What a creator is shown is deliberately blunt: totals, unique visitors, and how many people are reading right now. No creator is handed a trail of where else you have been on RealizeUS.

Archives you bring with you

If you migrate an existing page from another membership service, we read the publicly visible side of it — posts, wording, links, images, and video references — and copy that into your RealizeUS page so your back catalogue survives the move. We never receive that service's private member records, and we never import anyone's payment credentials.

Accounts you connect

Connecting an outside account — a Google sign-in, a video channel, a social profile, an assistant or agent integration — hands us whatever that service agreed to share under the permissions you approved, and nothing beyond it. Disconnecting it in Settings closes that pipe for the future.

Support and research

When you write to support we keep your message, your reply address, and whatever context you included, because we cannot help you otherwise. If you take part in a survey or a research conversation, your answers are stored with it.

Age confirmations

Where a page or post is flagged as restricted to adults, we record that flag and any age confirmation given before it is opened, so the restriction can be enforced consistently.

Cookies and browser storage

We and the providers who run our infrastructure use cookies and browser storage for a short list of jobs: keeping you signed in, remembering your appearance settings, counting traffic, and blocking abuse. Clearing them in your browser is always allowed — it signs you out and returns your appearance settings to their defaults.

Embedded media and outbound links

Posts can carry media that lives on someone else's servers, such as a video host. We hold those embeds back until you press play, so nothing loads behind your back. Once you do press play, that host sees your network address and may set its own cookies under its own rules. Following an external shop or site link works the same way — from that click onward you are their visitor, not ours.

Payments

Our payment partners take card and payout details directly and answer for that data themselves, as independent controllers under their own privacy policies. We see the outcome of a payment, not the instrument behind it.

Every use of your information traces back to one of these purposes:

• opening, securing, and administering your account;
• running creator pages, tiers, posts, collections, shops, chats, and messages;
• taking payments and issuing memberships, purchases, refunds, and creator payouts;
• delivering whatever a tier promised its members;
• showing creators aggregate figures about their own audience;
• sending necessary email about your account, payments, and memberships;
• sending the optional notifications you switched on, and stopping them when you switch them off;
• answering your support requests;
• spotting and stopping fraud, spam, abuse, and policy breaches;
• deciding which creators, posts, and collections to surface for you;
• diagnosing faults, measuring performance, and building what comes next; and
• meeting legal duties, including tax and accounting records.

Where the law asks us to name a legal basis, ours are: performing the agreement we have with you, our legitimate interest in keeping the platform running and safe, the consent you gave and may take back at any time, and compliance with obligations we cannot opt out of.

What we will not do with it is equally definite. We do not sell personal information. We do not trade it for cross-site advertising. We do not build shadow profiles of people who never signed up, and we do not measure a creator's worth by how much of their audience we can resell.

On RealizeUS, non-promiscuity is a content standard, not a data setting. It means we do not allow sexual content, sexual solicitation, or anything that treats the body as a commodity. The word is intentional: this platform is built for people who want to leave the feed, retain their morals, and build communities that do not depend on titillation or exploitation.

What we do not host

• Sexually explicit images, video, audio, or text, including pornography, erotica, and graphic sexual descriptions.
• Nudity presented for arousal or gratification, even if artistic framing is claimed.
• Sexual services, escort offers, sugar-dating solicitations, or any arrangement that exchanges money or access for sexual contact.
• Fetish content, sexual roleplay, or content that sexualises minors, regardless of stated age or fictional framing.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, deepfake sexual material, and upskirt or hidden-camera content.
• Sexual harassment, unwanted sexual advances in messages or comments, and coercive sexual language directed at any user.

Why this matters to us

Most platforms quietly profit from sexualised engagement because it drives clicks. We refuse that trade. RealizeUS exists so creators can invite their communities, share their work, and support their households without exposing themselves or their audience to an environment shaped by lust. A clean platform is a safer platform for families, for faith communities, and for anyone who simply wants to participate online without being propositioned or advertised to with sexual imagery.

How we enforce it

• Every report of sexual content is reviewed by a human moderator, not only an algorithm.
• Violations result in removal of the content, a warning, suspension, or permanent ban depending on severity and repetition.
• Material involving minors or non-consensual imagery is removed immediately, the account is banned, and relevant evidence is preserved for law enforcement where required.
• Creators may not use cropped, blurred, or suggestive imagery to evade this policy.

Adult themes that are not sexual

Not every mature topic is sexual. We allow discussion of marriage, health, abuse recovery, theology, and other subjects that may touch on sexuality, provided they are presented with restraint and not as a vehicle for arousal or explicit detail. Medical, educational, or artistic nudity may be allowed only when clearly contextualised, non-gratuitous, and appropriately gated; we make those calls carefully and conservatively.

Joining, following, or buying from a creator gives them what they need to keep their side of the bargain — and no more:

• your display name, handle, and avatar;
• which tier you are on, when you joined, and whether you are current;
• your email address, so benefits and updates can actually reach you;
• anything you wrote to them in messages or comments;
• a delivery address, only where a physical benefit requires one; and
• aggregate figures about how their own page is performing.

Creators carry their own responsibility for that information under our Terms of Use and the law where they live: it is for serving their community, not for resale or unrelated marketing. What they never get is your password, your card details, or your movements around anyone else's page.

This is a place for community, so some of your participation is visible by design:

• comments, questions, chat messages, and reactions are visible to everyone entitled to see the post or thread they sit in;
• your display name and avatar travel with anything you post;
• a reaction may be shown to the same audience as the post you reacted to; and
• a member count appears where the creator has chosen to display one.

How much of this is attached to you is adjustable in the Privacy section of Settings, including whether your memberships and activity are shown at all.

Creator pages exist to be found, so parts of them are public on purpose:

• your handle, display name, tagline, avatar, and banner;
• the body of your creator page — about section, collections, links, and tier descriptions;
• posts you published publicly, and the comments beneath them;
• social accounts you chose to link; and
• member or earnings counts, if you switched them on.

Locked posts stay inside the tiers their creator selected. Anything public can be indexed by search engines, quoted, and copied the moment it exists — which no policy can undo — so weigh personal details before you publish them.

Beyond the people above, information leaves us only in these cases:

• processors working under contract for us — hosting, database and file storage, email delivery, error monitoring, traffic measurement, and payments — limited to our instructions;
• payment partners, to settle memberships, purchases, and payouts;
• accountants, auditors, lawyers, and tax authorities, where we are obliged or need advice;
• law enforcement or a court, where valid legal process compels us or where someone's safety is genuinely at stake — and we tell you unless we are legally barred from doing so; and
• a successor, if RealizeUS is ever merged, financed, or sold, in which case your information moves with the service and this policy keeps applying until you are notified of a replacement.

Settings is the control panel

Profile, appearance, notification, privacy, and membership choices all live in one place: Settings. Nothing there is buried behind a support ticket.

Silencing us

New posts, comments, messages, and membership alerts can each be turned off under Notifications, or unsubscribed from any non-essential email we send. What survives is the unavoidable: security notices, payment records, and legal messages about your own account.

Formal requests

“Take Control” at the top of this page opens a real request form, not a mailbox. You can ask us to:

• Access — send you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• Correct — repair something we have recorded wrongly; or
• Erase — delete your personal data and your account for good.

Erasure is permanent and there is no undo. Because of that, a request waits 14 days before it executes, and you can cancel it from this page during that window. Once the window closes your account is beyond your reach — and if a creator page hangs off it, that page, its tiers, and its earnings history go with it. Withdraw any remaining balance first, because afterwards you will not be able to sign in to do so. A narrow set of records may survive where tax, accounting, or fraud rules require it. We email you as the status of the request moves.

How we check it is really you

Requests are verified against the signed-in account that made them, and we may ask for more before acting on anything destructive. A request we cannot verify is a request we will not carry out — that refusal protects you, not us.

Do Not Track

Browser Do Not Track signals still have no agreed meaning across the industry, so we do not claim to honour them. The controls described in this section are the ones we actually implement.

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy statutes — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Utah, and Virginia among them — can generally ask what we collect and why, get a copy of it, correct it, have it deleted, and be free from retaliation for asking.

Two of the usual opt-outs are moot here: we do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, so there is nothing in those categories to withdraw from. For everything else, use “Take Control” on this page or write to us.

You may ask us for access, correction, erasure, portability, or restriction of processing, object to anything we do on the basis of legitimate interests, and withdraw a consent whenever you like without penalty.

Sending data across borders

RealizeUS runs from the United States, so using it necessarily moves your data internationally. For transfers out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK Addendum, or another lawful mechanism, backed by encryption and access controls rather than paperwork alone.

No automated verdicts

Nothing with legal or comparably serious consequences for you is decided by software alone. Spam and fraud tooling may raise a flag, but a person decides whether an account is restricted, and you can contest that decision.

Every privacy question, request, or complaint goes through the Support page, and those messages land with the platform owner rather than an outsourced queue. Include enough to identify your account and say plainly what you want done.

We aim to acknowledge within 10 days and to finish within 30, or sooner where the law says so. If something genuinely takes longer, you will hear why rather than nothing.

Tell us first — most mistakes are fixable quickly. You keep every right to escalate: you can complain to your national data protection authority, and in the EEA or UK to a supervisory authority where you live or work. Doing so costs you nothing here.

Where the law allows an agent, you may appoint one. We will want written proof of the authority, and we may still confirm with you directly before we act — especially on deletion, where a mistake cannot be reversed.

Personal data lives as long as your account does, plus as long as one of the purposes above still needs it. After that it is deleted or stripped of identity, apart from records we must keep for tax, accounting, disputes, or fraud prevention. Published posts stay up until you or the creator takes them down, or the account is erased.

Traffic is encrypted in transit. Passwords are salted and hashed, never stored readably. Database rules scope every row to the account that owns it, so one member's query cannot reach another's records. Administrative access is narrow, deliberate, and monitored for unusual behaviour, and payment credentials sit with our payment partner rather than in our tables.

No service can honestly promise perfect security. Use a strong password you use nowhere else, and tell us the moment you suspect someone else is in your account — we would rather investigate a false alarm than learn about a breach late.

RealizeUS is not built for children under 13, and creators are free to set a higher age for their own communities. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us something, contact us and we will remove it promptly.

This document will change as the platform grows and as the law moves. Material changes bring a new “Last updated” date above and, where required, an email or in-app notice before they take effect. Staying with RealizeUS after that point means the revised version applies to you — and any change that would widen what we collect will always be announced rather than slipped in.
