Privacy Policy

Effective September 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information XOLDOUT ("XOLDOUT," "we," "us") collects through the XOLDOUT app and website (the "Service"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Account information

When you sign up, we collect your email address and, via Firebase Authentication, a unique account identifier. You choose a handle, display name, and optional bio, avatar, cover photo, tags, and social media links, all of which are visible on your public profile.

Verification information

If you apply for a verification badge (Identity, Seller, Creator, Official, Business, or Fanbase), we collect additional information needed to review that application: legal name, date of birth, country and region, phone number, and — for identity or business verification — a government-issued ID and a selfie. This information is reviewed only by XOLDOUT moderators for the purpose of deciding your application and is not shown publicly or sold to anyone.

Content you provide

Music, artwork, merchandise photos, event listings, beats, social posts, Fanbase group messages, and anything else you upload or write is stored so the Service can display it to the audience you intend (public, your buyers, or a private Fanbase group).

Payment and payout information

Purchases and payouts are processed by Bachs, a third-party payment processor. XOLDOUT does not receive or store your full card number, bank login, or BVN — Bachs handles that directly. To pay creators out, we store the payout bank account details you add (bank name, account number, verified account name) so a withdrawal can be routed to the right place.

Usage and device information

We collect basic technical information — IP address, browser/device type, and, if you enable them, push notification tokens — to keep the Service secure, diagnose problems, and deliver notifications you've opted into.

Cookies and local storage

The Service uses browser local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in and remember lightweight preferences. We don't use third-party advertising trackers.

2. How we use information

  • To operate the Service: creating your account, processing purchases and payouts, and delivering the content you buy.
  • To communicate with you: order confirmations, security alerts, moderation decisions, and — if you've opted in — the email digest of best-selling releases.
  • To review verification applications and respond to reports of abusive or infringing content.
  • To keep the Service secure and prevent fraud, including on payment and payout flows.
  • To improve the Service, understand aggregate usage, and fix bugs.

3. How we share information

We share information only where it's needed to run the Service:

  • Bachs — to process payments and payouts.
  • Firebase (Google) — to authenticate your account and, if enabled, deliver push notifications.
  • Cloudflare — to store the media (audio, images) you upload.
  • Resend — to deliver transactional and digest emails.
  • XOLDOUT moderators (internal staff) — to review verification applications and act on reports.
  • Other users — your public profile, listings, posts, and Fanbase group activity are visible to the audience that content is intended for.
  • Legal authorities — if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of XOLDOUT or others.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live — including under Nigeria's Data Protection Act 2023 — you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You can:

  • Edit your profile information at any time from Edit Profile.
  • Unsubscribe from the email digest from Edit Profile, or via the link in any digest email.
  • Turn push notifications on or off from Edit Profile.
  • Delete your account from Edit Profile — this signs you out everywhere immediately. You have 45 days to recover it before it's permanently disabled.

To make any other request about your personal information, contact us at support@xoldout.app.

5. Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active, plus the 45-day recovery window after deletion. Verification documents are retained only as long as needed to support the badge they were submitted for and to resolve any dispute about it. Financial records related to sales, commissions, and payouts are kept as required for accounting and legal purposes.

6. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and buying or selling on XOLDOUT requires being old enough, under the law that applies to you, to enter into a binding contract. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls on sensitive data like verification documents and payout details. No system is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

8. International data transfers

Some of the providers we use — including Firebase/Google, Cloudflare, Bachs, and Resend — process data outside Nigeria. We take steps to make sure your information is protected wherever it's processed.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service changes. If we make a material change, we'll update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
