You can withdraw your consent at any time ("opt out"); see the section "What are your rights?" below. In case of electronic direct marketing you can opt out by following the instructions in the communication.
In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described in this Privacy Policy.

How will Sayzio share the Personal Information it receives?

We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described below:

Affiliates: We may disclose your Personal Information to our subsidiaries and/or corporate affiliates for the purposes as described above.
Creators: when you subscribe to a Creator's zone or publication, we provide them the information necessary (including your name and email address) to provide you their publication(s). Please note that Creators control their own publications; accordingly, when you interact with a Creator's publication in a way that requires your personal information, including when commenting on a publication that you have not subscribed to, that personal information is provided directly to the Creator.
Our Service Providers: We share your Personal Information with third-party service providers that provide services on our behalf; for example, we use Stripe (a third party payment provider) to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Such third parties further include, but are not limited to, providers of: website hosting; maintenance services; email services; security services; content delivery networks; customer support operations and software services; traffic and usage analytics services; and cloud storage and computing services.
Third-Party DataControllers: We provide integrations with third-party services for you to use at your option. When we do, we only use the Personal Information we collect from the integrated third-party service for the purpose of providing the integration to you, and do not disclose that information except where required by law or as directed by the third-party service. Please keep in mind that you may use an integrated third-party service to send your Personal Information or content to the provider of the integrated third-party service, in which case you should refer to the privacy policy of the applicable third-party service provider to understand how your Personal Information is used. For instance, you may use Sayzio to upload content to YouTube, in which case the Google privacy policy governs how YouTube uses your Personal Information.
Other users: If your user profile allows it, you may choose to populate certain user profile information, including, without limitation, your name, subscriptions, publications, location, and any image content. Any user profile information uploaded may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the services (including when you post comments or upload images or videos through the services). Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the Personal Information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. Your username and user profile may also be displayed to other users when you interact with a publication post, for instance, by "liking" the post or leaving a comment. You may have the option to allow Sayzio to share information on what you've read or are reading on Sayzio with the public, or with other accounts socially connected to your own, such as your social media followers. If you opt into contact syncing through our app, your profile information will be shared with any user who has (i) also opted into contact syncing, and who (ii) identified you as a contact.
Prospective sellers orbuyers: We may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the sale or merger of our business or assets (subject to local laws). Also, if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control.
Government authorities, law enforcement officials, and court-ordered disclosures: If required for the purposes as described in this Privacy Policy, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws we may share Personal Information with competent regulatory, prosecuting, tax or governmental authorities, courts or other tribunals, or with litigants entitled by law to receive personal information, in any jurisdiction or markets, domestic or foreign.
In certain cases, we may anonymize your Personal Information in such a way that you can no longer be identified as an individual, and we reserve the right to use and share such anonymized information to trusted partners not specified here. However, we never disclose aggregated or de-identified information in a manner that could identify you as an individual.

Where will we send your Personal Information?

Sayzio is established in the US and uses service providers established both in the US and in other countries to process Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. As such, your Personal Information may be shared internationally.

Does Sayzio participate in the Data Privacy Framework?
To facilitate the lawful import of Personal Information from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the Swiss Confederation, Sayzio participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) (each, a "DPF"). To verify our participation, please consult the Sata Privacy Framework List.
When we receive Personal Information under a DPF, the DPF Principles apply to our processing of that information. Under any DPF, we are accountable for the onward transfer of Personal Information, and only transfer Personal Information received pursuant to a DPF under agreements that provide the same protections as the DPF. Our adherence to the DPFs specified above is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
In the event of a dispute between you and us regarding our use of Personal Information under a DPF, we ask that you first raise the dispute with us directly at [email protected]. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request for more information or to file a complaint. These dispute resolution services are provided at no cost to you.
If you have a "residual claim" regarding our use of your Personal Information under a DPF that is unresolved after (i) direct contact with us; (ii) your use of the independent dispute resolution mechanism identified above; and (iii) your raising the issue with your data protection authority, you have the the right to seek redress through binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable DPF.

Is Personal Information about you secure?

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, failure of the services, or other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.

Privacy and your direct messages

You can use Sayzio to send direct messages to other Sayzio users, and to receive direct messages from other Sayzio users.

Please note that, at this time, direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted, and are not a substitute for secure messaging services. Direct messaging contents are disclosed to their intended recipients. Recipients of direct messages may keep those messages even if you request their deletion, and even if you delete your Sayzio account. Keep in mind that recipients of your direct messages do not necessarily have any obligation to keep them private.
We will only disclose direct message contents to people other than the intended recipients in very limited circumstances where allowed or required by law, for example, in response to valid court orders or in emergency situations involving danger of death or serious physical injury. While we maintain strict internal access controls on direct messaging content, keep in mind that Sayzio personnel may access the contents of direct messages to enforce our Terms of Use, ensure the security of our platform, to provide user support, or as otherwise necessary to provide our services. We may also use automated means to ensure the safety of direct messaging content, including scanning for spam, malicious content, and child abuse material.

If you provide us with your phone number, we may use a third-party service provider to verify your phone number with an SMS text message. Information regarding this SMS verification is used only for verification purposes, and is not shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Your carrier's message and data rates may apply to this SMS verification. We don't send text messages for other purposes, however, you can reply "HELP" for help, or "STOP" to opt out of receiving text messages. You can learn more about our use of phone numbers and SMS messages in our privacy policy.

What are your rights?

Depending on applicable local laws, you may be entitled to ask Sayzio for a copy of your Personal Information, to correct it, erase or restrict its processing, or to ask us to transfer some of this information to other organizations. You may also have rights to object to some processing activities or to request restriction of some processing activities. Where we have asked for your consent to process your Personal Information, you may also have the right to withdraw this consent. These rights may be limited in some situations or in accordance with applicable law – for example, we cannot delete your Personal Information when we can demonstrate that we have a legal obligation to retain it. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent or you delete your account.
Where we require Personal Information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such information is mandatory: if such information is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal data is optional. Please note we will always inform you where the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or optional.
We hope that we can satisfy any queries you may have about the way we process your Personal Information. If you have any concerns about how we process your Personal Information, or would like to opt out of marketing, you can get in touch at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy and Reputation includes additional notices that may apply to you if you are a California consumer. Please see the section further below titled "Additional Notices for California Residents" for more details.

If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at [email protected]

Third Party Services and Integrations

We may offer you functionality that allows you to integrate third-party services in Sayzio, or to use Sayzio to interact with third-party services. Where we do, you understand that your use of third-party services is subject to those services' own terms and policies. In particular, if you use your Sayzio account to interact with the YouTube API, you agree to be bound by the YouTube terms of service.

In the event you have unresolved concerns, please note that you have the right to complain to a data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA, Switzerland and certain non-European countries are available here.

How long will Sayzio retain your data?

We retain information about you only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Copyright Dispute Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2025

This policy describes Sayzio's processes for receiving and responding to copyright infringement notices, sent by rightsholders or their agents, regarding material our users have posted to the Sayzio platform. This policy is designed to comply with the requirements of the notice-and-takedown provisions of the United States' Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), meaning that we generally remove or disable content that rightsholders claim to be infringing. Undefined terms used here have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Use.

Caution Advised

The notices described in this policy are serious legal actions with potentially serious consequences. Note in particular:

Filing a false copyright notice can be unlawful. Aside from perjury penalties, sending false copyright notices can create legal claims under the DMCA.
Dispute copyright notices with care. Copyright owners can prevent disabled content from being put back by initiating legal action.

Information submitted in notices is not private. Your copyright notice will be sent to the other party. We reserve the right to publicly post and share redacted copyright notices for transparency reporting purposes.

Copyright disputes are tracked for purposes of our Repeat Infringement Policy. Our policies and the DMCA both commit us to taking action against repeat infringers, and we will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in certain cases. How you respond to copyright notices informs our repeat infringer evaluation.

Consider seeking professional legal or related advice before proceeding with any notice described in this policy.

Submitting Notices and Our Designated Agent

This policy provides links to our preferred forms for submitting copyright notices. Although we respond to all copyright notices submitted under this policy expeditiously, submitting your notice through our forms will help ensure that your notice is compliant with legal requirements and receives the fastest possible response.

If you prefer to submit a non-form notice to our designated agent, you can do so by emailing [email protected]. Our designated agent can also be reached by mail at Sayzio DMCA Processing, 2841 Silverglade Court, Prosper, Texas 75078

Sending a Copyright Notice

If you believe that something on Sayzio infringes a copyright that belongs to you, you can send us a copyright notice at [email protected] On receipt of a notice compliant with the requirements of the DMCA, our practice is to expeditiously remove or disable the material identified as infringing. Note that copyright notices can be disputed under the terms of this policy, and that the dispute process may result in replacement of removed or disabled content.

When sending a non-form notice to our designated agent, be sure that it includes all the information required under the DMCA. For your reference, this includes:

A description of the work or works you claim have been infringed

A description of the content on our website you claim to be infringing and the associated URL(s)

Your contact information

Your statement confirming a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law

Your statement confirming that the information you've provided is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed

Your signature

Receiving a Copyright Notice

If something you've posted to Sayzio is the target of a valid copyright notice, we will generally send you a copy of that notice when we remove or disable the allegedly infringing content. To replace the removed or disabled content, you must dispute the notice in accordance with the terms of this policy. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the accounts of users who replace removed content in a manner inconsistent with this policy.

Disputing a Copyright Notice

You may dispute a copyright notice submitted against your Sayzio account by emailing [email protected]. We will provide a dispute notice that meets the requirements of the DMCA, we will send a complete copy of the notice to the complaining party. The rightsholder will then have 10 business days to initiate legal action and notify us. If we don't receive timely notice of legal action from the rightsholder, we will generally replace the material that had been removed or disabled.

When sending a non-form notice to our designated agent, be sure that it includes all the information required under the DMCA. For your reference, this includes:

A description of the content that's been removed and any associated URL(s)

Your full name and contact information, including your address and phone number

A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the removed content was taken down as a result of mistake or misidentification

Repeat Copyright Infrigement Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2025

Background

Sayzio has an interest in maintaining the quality, originality, and legality of the content we host. To best serve our creative community and to meet our own legal obligations to copyright holders, we have adopted the following policy toward repeat copyright infringers on our platform.

Our commitment to individualized consideration

Copyright claims are complex, and may be used to bully, harass, silence, cancel or censor the kind of reporting and commentary we hope to support. Accordingly, we are committed to handling repeat infringers on a case-by-case basis as long as our total caseload allows. Our aim is to take thoughtful and remedial action seriously, not mechanically.

Context is important

A corollary to our commitment above, we strive to consider the greater context of copyright claims in deciding on remedial action. This includes asking:
What is the nature of the alleged infringement? Is it plagiarism (which is also against our content guidelines)? Is it a plausible fair use?
Does the complained-about content have free speech significance? Political significance?
Who are the complainers? Are they credible?
Does the alleged infringer have a known history of infringement off our platform?

When we will consider repeat infringer claims

We will consider whether remedial action is appropriate when:
A request for remedial action against an alleged repeat infringer is brought to our attention through a credible third-party complaint sent to an appropriate channel (e.g., our agent for service of process or our DMCA designated agent)
We must receive more than three compliant DMCA notices about different pieces of content from the same user in the same calendar year
A series of alleged infringements appears particularly willful or egregious

Remedial Action

We will consider any appropriate remedial action currently available in our content moderation workflow, potentially including:
Written warnings
Demonetizing Sayzio zones or related content or newsletters
Delisting Sayzio zones or newsletters
Account termination

Miscellaneous Terms

The above covers most of the questions that we typically receive about Sayzio.
Listed below are questions that that may come up less frequently below:
Indemnification: To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Sayzio, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of Sayzio (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action, we will attempt to provide notice to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).
Assignment: You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Sayzio account or accounts, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
Choice of Law: These Terms are governed by and will be construed under applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver: Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by arbitration in Dallas County, Texas, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.* ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Sayzio shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator. For all purposes of these Terms, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Collin County Texas, or the Northern District of Texas. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding arising out of these Terms will be entitled to an award of costs and attorneys' fees. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Sayzio (T&S Software, Inc.) agree that all claims against the other can only be brought in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or other representative proceeding. We agree that arbitrators may not conduct any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and are limited to providing relief warranted by an individual party's claim.
* JAMS has been resolving disputes in Texas since 1994 and has a significant presence in the state with Resolution Centers in Dallas and Houston. They offer a wide range of alternative dispute resolution services, including mediation and arbitration, and have a panel of dispute resolution professionals in both cities
No Third-Party Beneficiaries: We agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
No Joint Venture: You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Sayzio and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever.
Waiver: The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Entire Agreement: You agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and us, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.
