Your Privacy Matters

Hi! I'm influencer story, and I created Influencer Story as a personal project to help content creators share their stories and learn from each other. Even though this is a personal project, I take your privacy seriously and want to be transparent about how I handle your information.

I use trusted third-party services (like hosting and email providers) to operate the platform. These services only get access to information necessary to provide their service and are required to protect your data.
