Privacy Policy

FreeVues is operated by Ava Hadley, doing business as FreeVues, an individual operator based in Massachusetts, USA. For anything privacy-related, contact us at privacy@freevues.com. For data-protection purposes under the EU and UK GDPR, the operator is the data controller for the information described in this policy.

When a creator clicks “Connect with Fanvue,” they approve the connection on Fanvue's own screen. Through that connection, Fanvue provides us with the creator's public profile information:

• Display name and Fanvue handle (username)
• Public profile photo
• Public bio text
• Subscription price, free-trial and free-page status
• Counts Fanvue reports for your profile: fans, followers, likes, photos, and videos

We also note the time zone your browser reports, so your dashboard shows your own clock, and the country and region you connect from.

When a creator signs in, we store a Fanvue connection credential for them (a refresh token and a short-lived access token), encrypted on our servers. We use it to keep the listing current every day — profile, photo, stats and price — and to run FreeVues' features: the creator's FreeVues tracking link and the numbers Fanvue reports for it, including what it earned, and the insights Fanvue makes available to apps a creator approves, such as their earnings rank among Fanvue creators. We use this information to run, improve and promote the directory. The credential is deleted when the listing is removed, and it stops working as soon as FreeVues is removed in the creator's Fanvue settings.

If an agency that manages you on Fanvue connects to FreeVues, your listing may be created from the roster Fanvue gives that agency, and we use the agency's connection in the same way. You can remove the listing yourself at any time, and you can disconnect the agency from your own settings.

We never receive or store Fanvue passwords.

What you tell us: the information you add to your listing and dashboard — your “vibe” quiz (how you describe yourself, including your gender and background, and what you offer), your rates, links and location if you add them, the name you like to be called, how you heard about us, your answers when you ask for a blog post, messages you send our team or other creators, friends and swaps you set up, your challenge journal and your replies to the daily question, and testimonials you give. If a creator reports a message in a chat with another creator, the people who run FreeVues can read that message and the report to look into it.

How you use FreeVues: your activity here — sign-ins, the dashboard pages you open, your Gems, who referred you, and a log of what happens on your account; if you buy a FreeVues plan or Gems (through Fanvue's own checkout, so we never see your card), what Fanvue tells us about each purchase (what you bought, the amount and the dates); the social follower counts and posts you ask us to track; and, if you also have a ShareYourFans account, we may note that alongside your listing, using details from ShareYourFans.

When an agency admin clicks “Connect with Fanvue,” they approve the connection on Fanvue's own screen, the same way a creator does. Through that connection Fanvue provides us with:

• The agency's Fanvue identity and display name
• The contact email of the admin who connected it
• The names and email addresses Fanvue lists for the agency's team members
• The list of creators Fanvue reports as managed by the agency (their handles and public profile details)
• A connection credential from the admin's sign-in, stored encrypted, which we use to re-read the roster, keep the agency's creators' listings current and run FreeVues' features for them; it is deleted when the agency deletes its account

An agency can delete its FreeVues account from Settings once no paid plan or Gems are outstanding; that removes the agency, its roster and team records and any stored credential, and keeps its purchase records as described below. The creators it managed keep their own listings.

To grow the directory we keep a list of public creator accounts on X and Fanvue that we may invite to list themselves: the public handle and profile link, the platforms and kind of content the account posts, our own notes, and our outreach to it. We keep this list ourselves, and it also notes whether the creator later joined ShareYourFans. We use it to invite creators and to count how many of our invitations led to a signup, and some of it is sent to an outreach messaging service to send those invitations. If you ask us to stop (privacy@freevues.com), we stop contacting you and keep only what we need to remember not to.

Fans do not create accounts on FreeVues. We do not ask visitors for names, emails, or payment details — unless you contact us: a sponsor application (your name, company and email) or a report about a listing. Our hosting and infrastructure providers automatically process basic technical data needed to deliver the website — such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested — in server logs.

To understand overall traffic our analytics sets no cookies and builds no profile of anyone. It receives the pages you open, the site that linked you here, your browser, device and language, and your network address, which it does not keep, plus a few events of our own. Never your name, and never a handle of yours.

We also count, for each creator, how many times their profile was opened and their Fanvue link was tapped. Those counts store only the creator, the source tag of the link you arrived by (for example a campaign tag), and the time — nothing about you.

A few things go further than that, and each is described below: crushes, the click check, browser notifications if you switch them on, a My Picks save link if you make one, and our optional Telegram bot for fans if you use it. None is used for advertising, none is sold, and none is shared beyond the companies that run FreeVues for us (see “Who we share information with”) and the services named for it.

Crushes: when you send a crush 💘 we set a cookie holding a random number (no name, no email, no account) and keep it, with the creators it crushed, while those creators are listed. Clearing your browser's cookies and site data for FreeVues breaks the link between you and your crush record for good.

The click check: to stop fake engagement, we check the network address behind a crush or a tap through to a creator's Fanvue page for VPNs, proxies and Tor, and delete it within 90 days.

Notifications: nothing is stored unless you tap “Turn on” and allow notifications in your browser's own permission box. Then we keep one record for that browser — the address and keys your browser's push service gives us, and the creators you had saved to My Picks on that device — and use it only to send you notifications about creators you picked and the occasional announcement about FreeVues. It is never used for advertising and never sold. Turning notifications off on the My Picks page deletes it straight away; if you switch them off in your browser instead, we delete it once a notification can no longer be delivered.

A My Picks save link: My Picks normally lives only in your own browser. If you choose to make a save link, we store what your browser holds for My Picks — your saved creators, the creators and categories you hid or favorited, and your quiz matches — on our server under the random code in that link, so it opens on another device. Anyone you give the link to can see it. We keep it until you ask us to delete it — email privacy@freevues.com with the link.

FreeVues has an optional Telegram bot for fans. You do not need it to use the website, nothing happens unless you start it yourself, and it never asks for a name, an email or an account.

On the website, your match-quiz answers are used only to build your matches and are never saved to an account (your own browser keeps them). The bot is the one exception, because to reply to you at all it has to remember your chat: it stores the ID Telegram gives your chat with the bot, the answers you tap, whether you asked for alerts (off unless you turn them on), and where you are in its questions. It does not store your Telegram username, name, phone number or photo, or anything you type.

We use that record only to suggest creators to you and, if you turned alerts on, to send the occasional FreeVues announcement (/notify turns them off). A creator never learns anything about an individual fan — not that you exist, what you like, or that you looked at their listing.

Sending the bot /stop deletes your record. Messages to the bot also pass through Telegram's own service, under Telegram's privacy policy.

• To display creator listings and keep them in sync with the creator's current Fanvue profile
• To review listings for suitability (see “Photos”)
• To operate, secure, and improve the website
• To label promoted placements as such
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use the information for automated decision-making that produces legal effects, and we do not sell personal information to anyone.

Profile photos come exclusively from the creator's public Fanvue profile — creators cannot upload photos to FreeVues directly, and Fanvue requires public profile photos to follow its own content rules. We may review listings, including photos and placements, at any time. We may display a neutral placeholder instead of any photo we consider unsuitable for the directory.

How we feature creators on our own accounts. Some of it is opt-in and off by default: only if you turn on “Promote me on social media” (during signup or in Settings) do we make shoutout posts about you — your public photo, bio and FreeVues link — on FreeVues' social accounts, and you can turn it off anytime.

Some of it is part of running the directory, for every listed creator, and does not use that setting: our daily top-creator lists and blog posts can show your public profile photo, name and link and are shared on our social accounts — though a list's social post only ever shows the photo of a creator who turned on “Promote me on social media”, or a generic image; a gift promo you approve is posted on FreeVues' own Fanvue pages and social accounts and sent to those pages' fans; our social accounts may follow you; and our X account may message creators who list an X handle. We only ever use your public profile information for this.

We also post a daily roll call of active listed creators, with their FreeVues links, on FreeVues' own Fanvue page.

• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — a creator's listing exists because they connected their Fanvue account, and staying connected to Fanvue is part of being listed; each optional feature runs only because you switched it on: social promotion, notifications, the Telegram bot's alerts. You can withdraw at any time by switching the feature off, removing FreeVues in your Fanvue settings, or removing your listing.
• Providing the service you asked for (Article 6(1)(b)) — running your dashboard, your crush, your save link, your notifications.
• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — operating, securing and measuring the website (visit counts, error reports, crawler statistics), preventing fake engagement, reviewing listings for suitability, listing a creator an agency manages on Fanvue on that agency's connection, crediting the creator whose invite link brought you, learning which of our posts, messages and links bring creators to FreeVues, featuring listed creators on our own accounts and the daily roll call (see “Photos”), and inviting creators who might want a listing. You can object to any of these by emailing privacy@freevues.com.
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — where we must retain or disclose information to comply with law.

Some of what we hold can say something the law treats as sensitive: which adult creators a browser crushed, saved or asked to hear about, and the preferences a fan taps into our Telegram bot, can hint at someone's sexual preferences; and a creator's vibe quiz includes their gender, background and the dynamic they like. We keep that only when you use the feature it belongs to, and we never attach a fan's to a name or an email — the Telegram bot's answers sit with your Telegram chat ID, which /stop deletes. We use it only for that feature — never for advertising or profiling — and you can delete it as described in this policy.

Where any of it is special-category data under Article 9, our basis is your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)), given by the act of entering it. A creator answers the vibe quiz so that we match them with fans and list them in the matching browse sections and round-ups (for example a “Best Latina Fanvue Creators” list). They can change their answers in Settings; to withdraw, they can email privacy@freevues.com to have an answer cleared, or remove their listing, which deletes them all. A fan saves a My Picks link or tells our Telegram bot what they like so that we keep it for that feature, and withdraws by asking us to delete the link or sending /stop. A crush is tied to the random number in the fan's own browser, never to a name or an email, and is kept as described under “Crushes”. Many listings are personas, and then the answers describe the persona, not a person.

We run FreeVues ourselves. Alongside the site we use our own internal tools, on the same hosting and database providers listed below, to promote listings, run outreach and produce reports. Only the people who run FreeVues can access creator data.

These kinds of companies run parts of FreeVues for us. They act on our instructions and may use what they receive only to provide their service to us:

• Website hosting and database hosting
• Image storage and delivery
• Website analytics that sets no cookies, as described above
• Search-engine and AI-crawler analytics: only about visits by crawlers, never your own browser's
• Error monitoring: when something breaks, a report of what went wrong, with your network address; we remove cookies and sign-in details first. Nothing is sent when nothing breaks
• Email and team chat, for the alerts our own team receives about running the site
• Social media publishing, and an AI assistant for our own social accounts and invitations, working from creators' public profiles
• AI writing help: when a creator asks for a blog post, their answers and public listing are used to draft it, and not to train the AI model
• Fake-engagement checks: the network address behind a crush or a tap through to Fanvue, checked for VPNs, proxies and Tor
• Automated content and photo-safety checks: creators' public profile pictures and banners, checked for nudity, with anything flagged looked at by our team

These are independent companies. When FreeVues shows or uses them, they receive what is described below and handle it under their own privacy policies, not ours:

• Fanvue — creators' profile information comes from Fanvue (see above). A few creator photos are still loaded straight from Fanvue's image servers rather than ours, and Fanvue then receives your network address and browser details, as any image host would
• Video (YouTube, operated by Google) — nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. Then YouTube receives your network address and may store information in your browser, under Google's privacy policy
• Telegram — messages to our bots pass through Telegram's service, under Telegram's privacy policy
• Social networks — when we post about listed creators as described in “Photos”, and then only public profile information and FreeVues links
• ShareYourFans — only if a creator connects their ShareYourFans account from their dashboard, and then only what that connection screen describes

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms, or to protect the rights and safety of creators, visitors, or the public. If FreeVues is ever involved in a merger or sale, listing data may transfer with the business, under this same policy.

Our servers and most of our providers are in the United States, and some are in other countries, such as in the EU and Canada. If you connect from the EU, UK or elsewhere, your information is processed in those countries. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses adopted by our providers.

• Creator listings, and everything that belongs to them (profile, connection credentials, messages, friendships, history, Gems, notifications): while the listing is live, deleted when it is removed. Some of it rolls off sooner — activity history after about a year, read notifications within months.
• Agency accounts: while the agency stays connected. Deleting the account from Settings removes it and its records, except its purchase records.
• Telegram bot (fans): until you send /stop.
• Notifications and My Picks save links: until you switch notifications off or they stop reaching your browser, or until you ask us to delete the link.
• Crush records: while the creators crushed are listed. The network checks behind crushes and clicks: 30 to 90 days.
• Profile-view and click counts: raw counts for 90 days, then totals.
• Purchase records, sponsor applications and legal records: as long as we need them for our accounts, refunds and disputes, or as the law requires — including reports about a child-safety or illegal-content concern, which are kept after a listing is removed.
• Server logs: for the short periods our infrastructure providers set.

Any creator can remove their listing at any time using the “Remove my listing” link in the site footer — you sign in with Fanvue so we know it is really you, then one click, no questions, and your listing, your profile data and your connection credentials are deleted immediately. You can also email privacy@freevues.com and we will delete your data within 30 days at the latest.

A few things survive. We keep your handle and your Fanvue account ID on a short do-not-contact list, so that removing your listing also means we never add you back or approach you again, along with a minimal record of the removal itself so it can be audited. If you bought a plan or Gems, we keep the record of those purchases (your Fanvue account ID, what you bought, the amount and dates), because we need it for our accounts and to handle refunds and disputes. A report about a child-safety or illegal-content concern is kept too (see “How long we keep information”). Our internal tools remove their own copies shortly after. Posts about you that are already up on FreeVues' social accounts stay unless you ask us to take them down (email privacy@freevues.com). Totals in our analytics that mention your public handle — for example how many crushes a creator received on a given day — stay in those totals. And copies in our database provider's backups are replaced on its normal schedule rather than edited.

Depending on where you live (including the EU, UK, and certain US states such as California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email privacy@freevues.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority. We will never treat you differently for exercising your rights.

We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-site advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of — and if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as that request.

FreeVues is strictly for adults. You must be 18 or older (or the age of majority where you live) to use this website. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we will delete it.

FreeVues uses no advertising, tracking or cross-site cookies, and lets no advertising or analytics company set any. Our analytics uses no cookies at all. The cookies below are all our own: each is needed for something you asked for, remembers a choice you made, or counts which links bring people to FreeVues, for FreeVues only. A service you choose to use may set its own (YouTube, once you press play), and the networks that deliver our images may set short-lived security cookies.

Sign-in and security (needed for what you asked for)

• fv_creator, fv_agency: keep you signed in. 7 days (30 minutes while a creator finishes their card).
• fv_agency_acting: which creator an agency is working on. 7 days.
• fv_in: shows the signed-in menu. As long as you are signed in.
• fv_oauth, fv_oauth_ticket, fv_remove, __Host-fv_partner_attempt: one-time security checks for signing in, removing a listing and connecting another account. 10 to 30 minutes.
• fv_resync_c, fv_resync_a: sign-in housekeeping. 24 hours.
• fv_fan: one crush per creator per browser. 1 year.

Referrals and our own counts

• fv_ref: credits the creator whose invite link you used. 30 days.
• fv_first: which link first brought you here. 30 days.

We also keep a few things in your browser's own storage rather than in cookies: your 18+ confirmation, light or dark mode, My Picks and your quiz answers, which creators you crushed, where a visit came from (for our own counts), and small reminders of what you dismissed or ticked off. They stay on your device until you clear them, and some end when you close the tab.

You can delete all of it at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and site data for freevues.com.

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top and, for significant changes affecting creators, make reasonable efforts to notify listed creators. Continued use of FreeVues after changes means the updated policy applies.
