Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how ProAngler ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you use our platform and services (collectively, the "Service"). By using ProAngler, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
When you create an account or use the Service, we collect information you provide directly, including:
- Profile information - your handle, display name, bio, profile photo, banner image, and other profile fields you choose to complete.
- Contact details - email address and phone number used for account creation, verification, and communications.
- Content - posts, blog articles, product listings, videos, comments, messages, and any other content you submit through the Service.
- Payment information - if you subscribe to a paid plan, payment details are collected and processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full card numbers.
- Communications - if you contact us for support or feedback, we retain records of that correspondence.

1.3 Information From Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third-party integrations you connect (such as YouTube or Rumble), analytics partners, and advertising partners, subject to their respective privacy policies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Create and manage your account.
- Personalize your experience and surface relevant content.
- Process payments and manage subscriptions.
- Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets, order confirmations) and service announcements.
- Enforce our Terms of Service and protect the safety of our community.

3. Public vs. Protected Posts
3.1 Public Content (Default)
By default, your profile and the content you post on ProAngler are public. This means:
- Anyone - including people without a ProAngler account - can view your profile, posts, and media.
- Your content may be indexed by search engines and appear in external search results.
- Your content may be shared, embedded, or linked to by other users or third-party sites.
3.2 Protected / Private Content
You may limit the visibility of your content through your account privacy settings. When you restrict visibility:
- Your posts will only be visible to your approved followers.
- Your content will not be surfaced in public search results or indexable by external search engines.
- New follow requests must be manually approved before followers can view your content.
No social media platform can guarantee absolute privacy. Even protected content may be seen by approved followers, shared through screenshots, or accessed in the event of a data security incident. Please post only what you are comfortable sharing under those conditions.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
4.1 Service Providers
We share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Service, including hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery services, analytics platforms, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually required to use your data only as directed by us.
4.2 Advertisers and Analytics Partners
We may share aggregated or pseudonymized usage data with third-party advertisers and analytics partners to help them measure the effectiveness of advertising and improve ad targeting on the platform. We do not share your name, email address, or other directly identifying information with advertisers without your consent.
4.3 Other Users
Information you include on your public profile - such as your handle, bio, and posts - is visible to other users and the general public as described in Section 3.
4.4 Legal and Safety
We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
- Protect the rights, property, or safety of ProAngler, our users, or the public.
- Enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements.
4.5 Business Transfers
If ProAngler is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or bankruptcy proceeding, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control.
5. Your Privacy Controls
You have meaningful control over how your information is used. Through your account settings, you can:
- Manage discoverability - choose whether your account can be found by email address or phone number.
- Control tagging - limit who can tag you in posts or photos.
- Set content visibility - switch your profile between public and protected.
- Manage email preferences - opt out of non-essential marketing and notification emails.
- Download your data - request a copy of your ProAngler data, including your posts, profile information, and account activity, via the Your ProAngler Data tool in account settings.
- Delete your account - permanently delete your account and associated data through account settings, subject to any legal retention obligations we may have.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account:
- Your public profile and posts are removed from public view.
- Certain data may be retained for a limited period for legal compliance, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution purposes.
- Backups may persist for up to 90 days before being purged.
7. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), secure credential storage, and access controls.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at legal@proangler.com.
9. International Users
ProAngler is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending an email notice or displaying a prominent notice within the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
