BLAZE CHANNEL, USA

Privacy Policy

Effective: October 2026

Your privacy is important to us at Blaze Channel USA, LLC ("BlazeChannel," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect from visitors and registered users of the BlazeChannel website, streaming services, and applications (the "Service"), how we use and protect it, and the choices you have.

By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service or provide personal information.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

  • Account information — name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), gender, and profile details you add such as profession, education, city, country, and profile/cover photos.
  • Content you submit — video trailers, contest entries (BlazeTalent), BlazeWorld posts and status updates, comments, likes, follows, and photos.
  • Communications — messages you send through our contact form or email, including name, email, and message content.
  • Subscription information — your chosen plan and subscription status. Payment details (card numbers, PayPal credentials) are handled entirely by PayPal and never stored on our servers.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data — pages visited, videos viewed and view counts, time spent, features used, and interaction with content.
  • Device and log data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, and timestamps from our server access logs.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — session cookies (required for login), preference cookies (e.g., theme choice), and analytics cookies. See Section 4.

1.3 Information from Third Parties

When you pay with PayPal, PayPal confirms your payment and subscription status and provides us a subscription reference ID. We do not receive your card or bank details.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including your account and subscription;
  • Process and manage subscription payments and renewals through PayPal;
  • Enforce access rules for Free and Premium content;
  • Display your profile, posts, comments, and uploads within community features (BlazeWorld, blog comments, contests);
  • Communicate with you — service notices, password resets, support responses, and optional newsletters or promotions;
  • Analyze usage to improve content, features, performance, and security;
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, spam, and security incidents;
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:

  • Payment processor — PayPal, solely to process your subscription payments and cancellations;
  • Service providers — hosting, storage (e.g., AWS S3 for media files), analytics (Google Analytics), and email delivery partners, bound to use data only to provide their services to us;
  • Other users — public areas of the Service (BlazeWorld posts, comments, contest entries, profile information) are visible to other members;
  • Legal requirements — when required by a valid subpoena, court order, law, or to protect our rights, safety, or the rights of others;
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

4. Cookies and Tracking

4.1 What We Use

  • Essential cookies — keep you logged in and secure (session, CSRF protection). The Service will not function without them.
  • Preference cookies — remember settings such as your dark/light theme.
  • Analytics — Google Analytics (gtag.js) collects anonymized usage statistics so we can understand traffic and improve the Service.

4.2 Your Choices

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent login. You can opt out of Google Analytics via browser add-ons or Google's opt-out tools.

5. Public Content and Community Areas

Content you post to BlazeWorld, blog comments, contests, or your public profile may be viewed, copied, or stored by other users and indexed by search engines. Please do not post sensitive personal information. You may delete your own comments and posts; deleted content may persist in backups for a limited time.

6. Data Retention

We keep your account information while your account is active. After deletion or closure, we may retain limited data as needed for legal compliance, fraud prevention, backup integrity, and record-keeping for a reasonable period. Subscription billing records are retained as required for tax and accounting purposes.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption, hashed password storage, firewall protection, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — please keep your password confidential and notify us immediately of any unauthorized account use.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access and review the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate information (editable in your account profile);
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data;
  • Withdraw consent for optional processing;
  • Export or obtain a copy of your data where required by law.

To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@blazechannel.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it. Parents who believe a child has provided us information should contact us.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

The Service is operated from the United States. If you access it from Nigeria or other countries, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. The Service does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you may use the cookie controls described above.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and significant changes will be announced through the Service where practicable. Please review this policy periodically; your continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
