Halo Platforms LLC Terms of Service for Content Creators

Published Date: 7 July 2026
Last Updated Date: 7 July 2026
Effective Date: 7 July 2026

By creating an account, accepting a campaign, submitting Creator Content, receiving any payment, or otherwise using the Halo platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Halo Platforms LLC (“Halo”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Halo’s online platform. By creating an account or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms may be updated by Halo in accordance with Section 14.2.

2. The Halo Platform

Halo operates an online marketplace that helps Brands and Content Creators (“Creators”) discover one another, manage campaigns, submit and review content, and process campaign-related payments.

Halo acts only as a platform facilitator. Halo is not a talent agency, employer, manager, publisher, broker, fiduciary, escrow provider, financial institution, insurer, or guarantor of any Brand, Creator, campaign, content, approval, payment, result, engagement, earnings, or commercial outcome.

Halo does not guarantee that any Creator will be selected for a campaign, that any content will be approved, that any campaign will proceed, or that any Creator will receive any minimum work, compensation, exposure, engagement, or opportunity.

Use of the platform does not create any employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or similar relationship between Halo, any Creator, or any Brand.

3. Funding and Payment Terms

3.1 Campaign Funding

Creators may receive cash incentives, products, services, credits, discounts, experiences or other campaign-related benefits for participating in campaigns. The applicable payment or benefit for each campaign will be displayed at the time of application or acceptance and may vary by campaign.

3.2 Payment Conditions and Timing

Payment is due only when all required Creator information has been provided, the Creator Content materially complies with the approved Creator Brief and Brand requirements, the approved content has been published and remained live for the period required by the Creator Brief, and all required performance data has been submitted.

Content that is rejected by Halo or the Brand for material non-compliance with the Creator Brief, Brand requirements, legal requirements, disclosure requirements or platform requirements will not trigger payment unless corrected and approved within the timeframe notified by Halo.

Halo will use reasonable efforts to release due payments within twenty-one (21) days of final approved publication, subject to third-party payment processing timelines, compliance checks, payment holds, disputes, set-off rights, force majeure events and any other rights available to Halo under these Terms.

3.3 Verification, Tax, Licensing and Compliance Holds

Halo may require Creators to provide identity verification materials, tax forms, banking details, residency information, sanctions confirmations, licence or permit details, influencer/media/advertising permit information, self-declarations, supporting documents, expiry dates or any other information reasonably required by Halo, any Brand, Halo’s service providers, payment processors, banking partners, advisers or applicable law.

Halo may withhold, delay, reverse, adjust or refuse payment, reject a campaign application, remove a Creator from a campaign, suspend or restrict access to the Service, or take other action under these Terms where required by law or where Halo reasonably believes that the Creator has failed to provide required information, provided false or misleading information, failed to maintain required licences or permits, submitted misleading analytics, breached these Terms or a Creator Brief, infringed third-party rights, triggered a complaint, chargeback, platform takedown, regulatory concern or Brand concern, or created legal, regulatory, financial, reputational or commercial risk for Halo or any Brand.

Creators are solely responsible for their own taxes, filings, licences, permits, registrations, approvals, declarations and legal obligations. Halo may share Creator verification, licensing, permit and compliance information with the relevant Brand for campaign selection, compliance, audit, reporting and risk assessment purposes. Halo does not guarantee the validity or sufficiency of any Creator licence, permit, declaration or supporting information except to the extent required by law.

Any compliance hold may continue for as long as reasonably required to complete the relevant investigation, payment review, Brand review, regulatory review, third-party claim, licensing issue, platform issue, dispute or legal process.

3.4 Set-Off, Deductions and Forfeiture

Halo may set off, deduct, recoup or withhold amounts payable to a Creator against any amounts owed to Halo or against losses, refunds, chargebacks, penalties, processor fees, taxes, overpayments, third-party claims, Brand claims, damages or costs arising from the Creator’s acts or omissions.

Where practicable, Halo will notify the Creator of the reason for any deduction or withholding. Halo may act immediately without prior notice where there is suspected fraud, falsified analytics, infringement, unlawful conduct, false licensing or permit information, serious breach, immediate Brand risk, legal risk, regulatory risk or other urgent compliance concern.

If a Creator breaches these Terms, breaches a Creator Brief, provides false or misleading information, submits falsified analytics, fails to comply with applicable law or disclosure requirements, infringes third-party rights, lacks required licences or permits, engages in fraud or abuse, or causes legal, reputational or financial risk to Halo or any Brand, Halo may cancel payment, require repayment of amounts already paid and/or forfeit unpaid amounts to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You must maintain complete, accurate and up-to-date account, profile, identity, location, audience, licensing, permit and eligibility information. You may only maintain one Creator profile unless Halo approves otherwise. You must not impersonate anyone, use fake or misleading information, manipulate audience data, use fake followers or artificial engagement, or misrepresent your identity, audience, experience, licensing status or eligibility.

Before applying for or accepting any campaign, you must review the Creator Brief, Brand requirements, usage rights, disclosure instructions, licensing or permit requirements, exclusivity obligations, competitor restrictions, deadlines, approval process and any campaign-specific terms. By applying for, accepting, participating in or completing a campaign, submitting Creator Content or receiving any campaign-related benefit or payment, you agree to comply with all applicable campaign requirements.

5.2 Appointments, Content Submission and Publication

You must book, attend and complete any required appointments within the timeframes notified by Halo or stated in the Creator Brief. Late cancellations, no-shows, repeated rescheduling, failure to attend, failure to communicate or failure to comply with venue, product, safety, confidentiality or Brand requirements may result in campaign cancellation, payment withholding, suspension or termination.

You must submit Creator Content, complete revisions and publish approved Creator Content within the timeframes stated in the Creator Brief or notified by Halo. You must not publish, post, promote, boost, whitelist or make any Creator Content live unless it has been approved through the Halo platform or another approved Halo communication channel. After approval, you must not materially edit, delete, archive, hide, restrict, change captions, remove disclosures, remove tags, change messaging or otherwise alter approved Creator Content without Halo’s prior written approval, unless required by law, court order, regulator direction or platform takedown.

5.3 Content, IP, Claims and Third-Party Rights

You are solely responsible for your conduct, statements, endorsements, disclosures, Creator Content and all materials, claims and elements supplied, created, submitted, published or authorised by you. You must ensure that all Creator Content is original or properly licensed, cleared, authorised and released for the intended campaign and usage by Halo, the relevant Brand and their authorised sublicensees.

Creator Content must not infringe or violate any intellectual property, copyright, trademark, design, moral, music, image, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contractual, platform or other third-party right. You must not include third-party music, images, footage, artwork, logos, products, locations, people, names, likenesses, voices, quotes, screenshots, claims or other materials unless you have all required permissions, licences, consents, releases and clearances.

All statements, reviews, testimonials, demonstrations, comparisons, claims, opinions and endorsements made by you must be truthful, genuine, not misleading and properly substantiated where required. You must not make false, exaggerated, deceptive, unlawful, offensive, discriminatory, defamatory or non-compliant claims.

You are solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining, renewing and complying with all licences, permits, approvals, registrations, tax obligations, influencer permits, media permits, advertising permits, freelancer permits and other legal requirements required for your campaign participation and Creator Content. You must accurately self-declare your licensing, permit, residency, tax and eligibility status when requested, provide supporting evidence where required, and immediately notify Halo if any licence, permit or compliance status expires, is suspended, revoked, challenged, restricted or becomes inaccurate.

Halo may share your licensing, permit, compliance and supporting information with the relevant Brand and its authorised representatives for campaign selection, compliance, audit, reporting and risk assessment.

5.5 Performance Data and Reporting

You must grant and maintain any required OAuth, analytics, platform access, screenshots or other approved reporting method required for campaign management, performance reporting, payment verification, fraud prevention, compliance checks and Brand reporting. You must submit complete, accurate, genuine and non-misleading performance data within the required timeframes. False, misleading, incomplete, manipulated, purchased, inflated or fabricated analytics, screenshots, follower data, engagement data, impressions, reach, views, clicks or other reporting may result in rejection, payment withholding, repayment, suspension or termination.

5.6 Confidentiality, Conflicts and Professional Conduct

You must keep confidential all non-public campaign details, Creator Briefs, Brand information, product information, launch information, commercial terms, compensation, platform information, performance information and other confidential information received from Halo or any Brand.

You must not engage in any activity, campaign, communication, competitor collaboration, endorsement, public statement or conduct that creates a conflict of interest, breaches exclusivity or competitor restrictions, or harms the reputation, goodwill, legal position or commercial interests of Halo or any Brand.

Brand or Halo review, approval, feedback, edits, publication, use, payment or acceptance of Creator Content, performance data or campaign participation does not relieve you of responsibility for legal compliance, advertising disclosures, third-party rights clearance, licences, permits, warranties or obligations under these Terms or the applicable Creator Brief.

6. Permissions You Grant to Us

6.1 Licence to Use Your Content

As between you and Halo, you retain ownership of the original content you create or provide in connection with a Campaign, including your photos, videos, captions, name, image, likeness, voice, handle and related materials (“Creator Content”).

You grant Halo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and sublicensable licence to host, review, reproduce, edit and otherwise process Creator Content as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, administer the relevant Campaign, obtain approvals, process payments, provide reporting and comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Creator Brief, usage rights schedule or campaign-specific terms, Halo may sublicense to the relevant Brand a non-exclusive licence to use the approved Creator Content solely for organic and paid social media, subject to the agreed duration, territory, platforms and other usage limitations.

Any additional use, including PR, corporate communications, presentations, case studies, awards, websites, apps, e-commerce, email, retail, whitelisting, boosting or dark posting, must be expressly stated in the campaign-specific terms disclosed to and accepted by the Creator before accepting the Campaign. No Order Form or agreement between Halo and a Brand may expand the Creator’s grant unless the relevant additional rights were also disclosed to and accepted by the Creator.

No further Creator approval or payment is required for use falling within the rights expressly accepted for the relevant Campaign. Any licence surviving completion or termination shall remain subject to its agreed duration, territory, channels and other limitations.

6.2 Campaign-Specific Terms

Each Campaign may include a Creator Brief, usage rights schedule, Brand requirements, disclosure instructions, licensing or permit requirements, exclusivity obligations, competitor restrictions, content retention obligations, approval processes, reporting requirements or other campaign-specific terms. By applying for or accepting a Campaign, you agree to comply with those terms. If there is a conflict, the Creator Brief or campaign-specific terms shall apply only to that Campaign, provided they were clearly disclosed before acceptance.

Any campaign-specific term that expands the Brand’s usage rights or increases or removes the Creator’s liability cap must be clearly disclosed to and accepted by the Creator before the Creator accepts the Campaign. An Order Form or other agreement between Halo and a Brand shall not expand the Brand’s usage rights or increase the Creator’s liability unless the relevant terms were also disclosed to and accepted by the Creator.

6.3 Creator Information, Analytics and Data

You permit Halo to use and share your username, profile information, campaign activity, performance data, analytics and related information for Creator discovery, campaign matching, Brand review, approvals, reporting, dashboards, platform operations, fraud prevention, compliance, payment verification, service improvement, analytics and AI-enabled functionality. Any identifiable use of Creator Content, or of the Creator’s name, image, likeness, voice or handle, for case studies, portfolios, marketing or promotional purposes remains subject to Section 6.1.

You must grant and maintain any required OAuth, analytics, platform access, screenshots or other reporting methods during active Campaigns and must not submit false, misleading, manipulated or inflated data. Halo may use AI-assisted, automated and data-driven tools to operate, provide, maintain, develop, improve, personalise and enhance the Service, subject to applicable law and Halo’s Privacy Policy.

6.4 Updates and Third-Party Services

You agree that Halo may update, maintain and modify the Service and its platform features, integrations, analytics tools, approval workflows and reporting tools. The Service may rely on third-party platforms, APIs, social media services, payment processors, banks, authentication providers, analytics tools and other service providers. Halo is not responsible for third-party outages, algorithm changes, account restrictions, takedowns, payment delays, API limits, data access issues, loss of reach, loss of engagement, platform suspension or other third-party conduct.

7. Content Review, Approval and Amendment Rights

7.1 Review Process

Halo may conduct an initial review of Creator Content against the applicable Creator Brief, Brand requirements, campaign-specific terms, platform requirements, advertising disclosure requirements, and any applicable legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements. Halo may use manual review, automated tools, AI-assisted tools, or a combination of these review methods for this purpose.

Following Halo’s review, the Brand and/or Halo shall have the right to approve, reject, request revisions to, or require resubmission of any Creator Content prior to publication. The Creator must not publish, post, distribute, or otherwise make any Creator Content live unless and until approval has been provided through the Halo platform or other approved Halo communication channel.

7.2 Brand Feedback and Revisions

The Brand and/or Halo may request reasonable modifications, corrections, edits, clarifications, removals, additions, reshoots, captions, disclosures, hashtags, tags, labels, format changes, timing changes, or other revisions where the Creator Content does not comply with the Creator Brief, Brand guidelines, campaign-specific terms, legal or regulatory requirements, platform rules, advertising disclosure requirements, or Brand protection requirements.

The Creator must complete requested revisions within the timeframe stated in the Creator Brief or otherwise notified by Halo. Failure to complete required revisions within the required timeframe may result in rejection of the Creator Content, cancellation of the campaign, withholding or forfeiture of payment, or other action under these Terms.

7.3 Content Amendment and Adaptation Rights

Subject to Section 6.1, Halo, the relevant Brand and their authorised representatives may crop, resize, reformat, subtitle, translate, cut down or otherwise technically adapt approved Creator Content only as reasonably necessary to exercise the usage rights expressly agreed for the relevant Campaign.

No edit or adaptation may expand the agreed duration, territory, platforms, channels, purposes or other usage limitations. Any additional use must be expressly stated in the campaign-specific terms disclosed to and accepted by the Creator before accepting the Campaign.

7.4 No Waiver of Creator Responsibility

Approval, review, feedback, edits, publication, use, reuse, adaptation, or payment by Halo or any Brand does not relieve the Creator of responsibility for the Creator’s own acts, omissions, statements, representations, endorsements, disclosures, legal compliance, third-party rights clearances, licence or permit obligations, or warranties under these Terms or the applicable Creator Brief.

The Creator remains responsible for ensuring that all Creator Content submitted, created, published, or authorised by the Creator is original or properly licensed, legally compliant, properly disclosed, not misleading, and does not infringe or violate any third-party rights.

8. Brand Protection and Integrity

Prohibited Activities: Any involvement in activities that harm the reputation of Halo or any Brand, including fraudulent, scam-related, or abusive behavior, will result in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of due payments, subject to the procedure set out in Section 3.4.

Additional Actions: Halo and the affected Brand reserve the right to pursue further legal remedies as necessary to protect their interests.

9. Termination and Suspension

9.1 Suspension or Termination by Halo

Halo may suspend, restrict or terminate your account, campaign participation, access to the Service, campaign eligibility, or any unpaid or pending payments if Halo reasonably determines that you have breached these Terms, a Creator Brief, campaign-specific terms, platform policy or applicable law; provided false, misleading, incomplete or outdated information; failed to obtain, maintain or provide evidence of required licences, permits, approvals, clearances or legal eligibility; submitted misleading analytics or fake engagement; infringed third-party rights; failed to make required disclosures; engaged in fraud, unlawful conduct or misconduct; or created legal, regulatory, payment, financial, reputational, operational, Brand safety or commercial risk for Halo or any Brand.

Halo may also act where a Brand reasonably objects to your participation or continued use of Creator Content for legal, licensing, IP, disclosure, Brand safety or compliance reasons, or where action is required or reasonably requested by law, regulator, court order, payment partner, banking partner, platform provider or Brand compliance requirement.

Where appropriate, Halo may provide ten (10) days’ written notice. Halo may act immediately without prior notice where there is suspected fraud, falsified analytics, infringement, unlawful conduct, false licensing or permit information, serious breach, urgent Brand risk, legal risk, regulatory risk, payment risk, platform risk or other urgent compliance concern.

Halo may withhold, delay, adjust, set off, suspend or recover payments during any suspension, investigation, dispute, Brand review, regulatory review, payment review or compliance process.

9.2 Effect of Termination

Upon suspension or termination, Halo may cancel pending campaigns, remove or restrict content, disable account access, preserve records, recover amounts owed and exercise any other rights under these Terms. Termination does not affect any accrued rights, payment adjustments, compliance holds, licences, sublicences, usage rights, confidentiality obligations, indemnities, limitations of liability, dispute provisions or other provisions intended to survive.

10. Confidentiality

10.1 Confidential Information

For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the use of the platform, including but not limited to campaign briefs, Brand identities, Creator compensation rates, platform pricing, and any information marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would consider confidential given the nature of the disclosure.

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information disclosed during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following its termination or expiration.

10.2 Non-Disclosure

Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except as required by law.

10.3 Permitted Disclosure

Confidential Information may be disclosed solely to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority, provided that the receiving party (to the extent legally permitted) gives prompt written notice to the disclosing party and cooperates in seeking confidential treatment or a protective order.

Confidential Information may also be disclosed to the receiving party’s insurers, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, subcontractors, or professional advisors (including legal and financial advisors), provided that such persons are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth herein.

The obligations under this Section shall not apply to information that: (a) becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) is lawfully received from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (c) was independently developed without use of or reference to the Confidential Information.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 Excluded Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Halo and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, reputation, data, opportunities, followers, engagement, reach, campaign opportunities or platform access, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

11.2 Halo Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Halo’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, any campaign, payment or Creator Content shall not exceed the greater of: (a) US$100; or (b) the amounts actually paid by Halo to the Creator in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim. Halo shall not be liable for Brand-funded amounts, third-party payment processor amounts, or pass-through payments not retained by Halo as its own fees.

11.3 Creator Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Creator’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to a Campaign, these Terms, any Creator Brief or Creator Content shall not exceed the total cash compensation payable to the Creator for the relevant Campaign plus the stated monetary value of any products, services or other benefits provided for that Campaign.

This cap does not apply to fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, intentional infringement of third-party rights, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Any higher or uncapped liability must be expressly stated in campaign-specific terms disclosed to and accepted by the Creator before accepting the Campaign.

11.4 Time Limit for Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim against Halo arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the event giving rise to the claim, failing which it shall be permanently barred.

12. Indemnification

12.1 Creator Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Halo, any Brand, and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, agencies, media partners, retailers, distributors, service providers, successors, assigns and authorised sublicensees from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, fines, costs or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms, any Creator Brief or applicable law; any Creator Content or information provided by you; any infringement or violation of third-party rights; any missing licence, permit, consent, release or clearance; any false or misleading claim, disclosure, endorsement, declaration, analytics or report; or any fraud, negligence, wilful misconduct or unlawful conduct by you.

The Creator’s liability under this Section 12.1, including reasonable legal and defence costs, is subject to the liability cap and exceptions in Section 11.3.

12.2 Halo Indemnity

Halo will indemnify the Creator for third-party claims alleging that the Halo platform technology itself infringes intellectual property rights, or that Creator Content infringes solely because the Creator followed a Halo-generated Creator Brief without material deviation and without reason to know it was infringing. This does not apply to Creator-created content, third-party materials used by the Creator, Brand instructions outside Halo, or the Creator’s breach of these Terms. Halo’s indemnity is capped at the amount paid by Halo to the Creator for the relevant campaign.

12.3 Procedure

The indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party of the claim and reasonably cooperate in the defence. The indemnifying party may control the defence, provided that no settlement may admit liability or impose obligations on the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any campaign facilitated through the Service shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of the applicable Halo contracting entity, as follows:

Halo may designate, in its discretion, the seat, venue, forum, arbitral institution and procedural rules for the arbitration in any jurisdiction where Halo is established, incorporated, registered, operational or otherwise conducting business, including, as applicable, the United States, the United Arab Emirates or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The arbitration shall be conducted in English unless Halo determines otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise.

The governing law applicable to the dispute shall be determined in accordance with Section 13.1, unless the applicable arbitration forum requires otherwise.

14.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Halo, superseding all prior communications and agreements. These Terms may be updated by Halo in accordance with Section 14.2.

14.2 Amendments

Halo may update, amend, supplement, or modify these Terms from time to time. Each version of these Terms will identify the Published Date, Last Updated Date, and Effective Date at the top of the document.

Where Halo makes material changes to these Terms, Halo will provide Creators with at least fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice before the updated Terms take effect, unless a shorter period is required by applicable law, regulation, platform rule, security requirement, payment processor requirement, or other urgent legal or operational reason. Notice may be provided by email, WhatsApp, SMS, in-platform notice, dashboard notice, clickwrap prompt, pop-up notice, or any other communication method associated with the Creator’s account.

Halo may provide a summary of the key changes together with a link or copy of the full updated Terms. Any summary is provided for convenience only, and the full updated Terms will govern.

The updated Terms will apply to new Creators from the date they accept them. For existing Creators, the updated Terms will apply from the stated Effective Date, or earlier if the Creator affirmatively accepts the updated Terms through the platform, by clickwrap, by applying for or accepting a campaign, by submitting Creator Content, by receiving payment, or by otherwise continuing to use the Service after being notified of the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may terminate your account without penalty before the updated Terms take effect by notifying Halo in writing in accordance with Section 14.3. Your continued use of the Service after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Halo may make non-material, administrative, technical, formatting, operational, clarification, or legal compliance updates immediately, provided that Halo updates the Published Date and/or Last Updated Date as applicable and provides notice where required by law or where Halo considers notice appropriate.

14.3 Notices

All notices from Halo to you under this Agreement will be sent in writing to the email address registered on your Halo account. All notices from you to Halo must be in writing and sent to: Halo Platforms LLC, 1007 N Orange St, Wilmington, DE, 19801, USA, or by email to legal@halo.live

14.4 Severability

If any provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

14.5 Waiver

Failure by either party to enforce any provision shall not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that provision.

14.6 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without Halo’s prior written consent. Halo may assign its rights freely.

15. Data Protection, Privacy and AI/Data Use

Halo processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and Halo’s Privacy Policy, including, where applicable, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law, the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act and any other applicable privacy, data protection, electronic communications, marketing or consumer protection laws.

Halo may collect, use, store, process, analyse and share Creator personal data, Creator Content, campaign information, analytics, performance data, licensing or permit declarations and compliance information for account operation, Creator matching, campaign selection, campaign management, content review, approvals, payment, reporting, analytics, fraud prevention, compliance checks, Brand reporting, legal compliance, service improvement, product development, recommendation systems, matching tools, workflow automation, AI-enabled functionality and the operation, maintenance, development and improvement of the Service.

Halo may share this information with the relevant Brand and its authorised representatives for campaign-related, reporting, audit, compliance and risk assessment purposes, subject to applicable law and Halo’s Privacy Policy.

Creators may exercise any data protection rights available to them under applicable law, including rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, opt-out or withdrawal of consent, where applicable.

16. Content Removal and Account Consequences

Halo may reject, remove, disable access to, restrict, require edits to, require takedown of or stop further use of any Creator Content where Halo reasonably believes it infringes third-party rights, violates law or platform rules, lacks required licences, permits, consents, releases or clearances, contains false or misleading claims, breaches these Terms, a Creator Brief or campaign-specific terms, or creates legal, regulatory, reputational, commercial, Brand safety or platform risk for Halo or any Brand. You must promptly comply with any Halo instruction to edit, remove, restrict, correct or take down Creator Content. Suspension, termination, account deletion, content deletion or expiry of campaign participation does not cancel any licences, sublicences, usage rights, indemnities, confidentiality obligations, payment adjustments or other surviving rights granted to Halo, any Brand or their authorised sublicensees, except to the extent required by law.

17. Communications

Halo may send service, legal, account and campaign communications through WhatsApp, email, SMS, phone, in-platform notice, dashboard notice, pop-up notice, clickwrap prompt or any other communication method associated with your account, subject to applicable law. These communications may include Creator Briefs, campaign-specific terms, platform updates, payment notices, compliance requests, updated Terms, licensing terms, usage rights notices, Brand requirements, privacy notices and other service-related notices, and you cannot opt out of them while these Terms remain in effect. Halo may also send marketing communications where permitted by law, and you may opt out of marketing communications without affecting service or legal communications.
