Creator Bill of Rights

Flinque Creator Bill of Rights

We built Flinque to help brands work with creators, not around them

Every creator profile in Flinque belongs to a real person with real hopes, real work, and real rights. We built the platform on a simple principle: creators are not products to be traded. They are partners whose work powers the industry. This Bill of Rights sets out the specific commitments we make to creators, regardless of whether you ever sign up with us.

These are not marketing promises. They are operational commitments we hold ourselves accountable to, built into our policies, our product, and our contracts with customers. When we fall short, we want to hear about it.

If any right in this Bill is not being honored, use the contact page to tell us.

1. Preamble

Creators built the influencer marketing industry. Their craft, voice, and relationships with audiences create the value that brands want to access. Yet creators have historically had little visibility into how platforms like Flinque describe them, score them, and surface them to brands.

We believe that building a sustainable influencer marketing industry requires treating creators as partners with rights, not entries in a database. This Bill of Rights is our statement of those rights and our commitments to honor them throughout the Flinque influencer marketing platform.

These rights apply to every creator whose public data appears in our platform. You do not have to have an account with Flinque to hold these rights; we apply them to every creator in our directory.

This Bill of Rights is backed by our Privacy Policy, Data Removal and Right to Erasure Policy, AI Usage Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy.

2. Right to Know

You have the right to know when and how your data is included in Flinque.

2.1 What we index

We collect and analyze public data from social platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X where creators have public accounts. This includes usernames, bios, profile photos, follower counts, post engagement, and publicly visible content.

2.2 What we do not index

• Private accounts or non-public content
• Private messages, DMs, or comments marked as private
• Contact information not published by the creator
• Content shared in closed groups or member-only spaces

2.3 How you can check

Creators can request information about what we hold through our contact page with category “Creator Data Access”. We respond within 30 days with a summary of the data we hold and the scores we have produced.

3. Right to Fair Treatment

You have the right to fair, consistent, and professional treatment by Flinque and by customers using the platform.

3.1 Consistent standards

The same rules, scoring methodology, and data standards apply to all creators in our directory, regardless of follower count, niche, or commercial relationship with Flinque.

3.2 No pay-to-play

Creators cannot pay Flinque for higher scores, preferential placement in search results, or artificially inflated metrics. Our scoring is based on methodology, not commercial arrangements.

3.3 Professional conduct by customers

Customers using Flinque commit through our Acceptable Use Policy to:

• Treat creators with professional respect
• Follow anti-spam rules in outreach
• Honor creator “no” responses
• Not use Flinque data to harass, stalk, or harm creators
• Comply with applicable advertising and endorsement laws

3.4 Enforcement

Customers who mistreat creators face enforcement action up to and including account termination. Creators who report customer violations are taken seriously.

4. Right to Transparent Scoring

You have the right to understand, at a meaningful level, how our scores and classifications work.

4.1 What we publish

For each AI-powered scoring feature, we publish:

• What the score represents at a conceptual level
• What input categories are used (without revealing the precise algorithm)
• What the score does not mean
• Known limitations and edge cases

4.2 Flinque scores explained

4.3 What scores do not do

• They do not determine whether brands can work with you
• They do not reflect your worth, character, or potential
• They do not replace human judgment
• They are estimates, not facts

5. Right to Challenge Scores

You have the right to challenge a score that you believe is inaccurate and to receive a review.

5.1 How to request review

Submit a request through our contact page with category “Score Challenge”. Include:

• Your social media username and profile URL
• The specific score or classification you are challenging
• Why you believe it is inaccurate
• Any supporting context or evidence

5.2 Review process

• Acknowledgment within 5 business days
• Review by our team, not automated dismissal
• Decision within 15 business days with reasoning
• Where we agree with the challenge, the score is updated
• Where we disagree, we explain why

5.3 Possible outcomes

• Score recalculated based on updated data
• Classification changed based on additional context
• Original score upheld with explanation
• Referral for model improvement where the challenge reveals a broader issue

5.4 No retaliation

Challenging a score will not result in any adverse action against you. Challenges are handled on their merits.

6. Right to Opt Out

You have the absolute right to opt out of being included in Flinque.

6.1 Processing timeline

• Verified opt-out requests processed within 48 hours
• Your profile removed from active search and creator views
• Profile flagged as opted-out to prevent re-indexing
• Written confirmation when removal is complete

6.2 No justification required

You do not have to explain why you want to opt out. We respect your choice. We may verify your identity to ensure requests are genuine, but we do not question your reasons.

6.3 Opt-out is reversible

If you change your mind, you can request re-indexing at any time through our contact page.

6.4 Full procedure

Full details are in our Data Removal and Right to Erasure Policy.

9.1 Protection for vulnerable creators

Minor creators, creators in sensitive niches, and creators who have expressed safety concerns receive additional protections. See our Children’s Privacy Policy.

If you believe you have experienced biased or discriminatory scoring, report it through our contact page with category “AI Concern”. Bias reports are investigated as priority matters.

11. Right to Be Protected from AI Misuse

• No impersonation: Flinque and our customers are prohibited from using AI to impersonate you, clone your voice, or fake your image without your consent
• No deepfakes: generating synthetic media purporting to show you is prohibited
• No false relationships: AI cannot be used to fabricate prior relationships or correspondence with you
• Human accountability: when AI is used in outreach or content related to you, a human is accountable for it
