Permission to use Content you create and share:

8.1 Content that you (as Creators or Fans) share or upload on the Platform may be protected by intellectual property laws.

8.2 You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks) in any such Content that you create and share on the Platform. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own Content. You are free to share your Content with anyone else, wherever you want.

8.3 To provide our Services we need you to give us some legal permissions (known as a "licence") to use this Content.

8.4 When you share, post, or upload Content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable and royalty-free licence to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your Content (consistent with your privacy and Platform settings). This means, for example, that if you share a video on the Platform, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings), including with other Users who subscribe to such Content or with our service providers that support our Services. This licence will end when your Content is deleted from our systems.

8.5 Subject to section 8.7, you can delete your Content that you share, post, and upload at any time; and all Content posted to your personal account will be deleted if you delete your account.

8.6 After we begin the account deletion process or receive a Content deletion request, we will commence the process of deleting Content (“Deletion Process”) which may take up to 90 days. If you send Content to trash, the Deletion Process will automatically begin in 30 days unless you chose to delete the Content sooner. While the Deletion Process for such Content is being undertaken, the Content is no longer visible to other Users. After the Content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery systems.

8.7 The Deletion Process may take longer than 90 days in the following situations:

(a) Where your Content has been or is being used by others in accordance with this licence and they have not deleted it;

(ii) protect the safety, integrity, and security of our Services, systems, our employees, and Users;

(iii) comply with legal obligations for the preservation of evidence, including data we preserve to comply with any record keeping obligations required by law; or

In each of the above cases, this licence will continue until the Content has been fully deleted.

Permission to use your name, profile picture, and information about your actions with ads and sponsored or commercial content:
