Introduction
Zuvlo is a social network which enables some users to share their content and other users to enjoy others’ content by paying a fee for it. Zuvlo is operated by Opinex International Limited, with company registration number: 15368765 and registered address: C/O The Accountancy Partnership Suite 5, 5th Floor, City Reach, 5 Greenwich View Place, London, United Kingdom, E14 9NN. When people use these services they share some information with us. This policy sets out the information we collect, how we use it and who we share it with. We confirm that the lawful basis for processing your data is that by participating with our social network you have contracted with Terms of Services. To the extent that we have to monitor and control use of our site the basis for that processing is to fulfil a legal obligation.
If you have any questions about anything in our Privacy Policy or wish to complain then please contact support@zuvlo.com. We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information.
Below we set out our policy, but please be aware that:

Payment Providers
The volume of payments made by Fans to access content, payments made to Creators for their content and where Users
reside means that we use third party payment providers. This involves the transfer of personal data being names and bank details.
When Fans make payments these are processed through third party processors. You will contract with those third parties which will be the data controller of that data.
When we receive the monies, we remit the balance to the Creators, minus management fees. The Creator will ether:
1. contract with the third party processor. We use a number of third party processors; or
2. be paid by us – if this happens
the Creator enters their banking information – each bank and jurisdiction has its own requirements onto our platform. We then arrange for payment.
