Privacy Policy

Aria Vance is a virtual, AI-generated creator. Her accounts on Instagram (@aria.vance.ai), Facebook (Aria Vance Page), X (@AriaVanceXXX), TikTok (@aria.vance.ai), Threads (@aria.vance.ai) and Pinterest, the "Postcards from Aria" newsletter and the Aria Vance Studio app are run by Redbit S.r.l.s. (Italy, VAT IT15237911001), the data controller. This policy explains what we receive, why, and your choices.

1. Comments and direct messages

What we receive

• The text of the comments and messages you send to Aria, with the time they were sent.
• The public identifiers the platform shares with us for them (such as your username or a platform-scoped ID).

We do not receive your password, contacts, location or payment details, and we never ask for them.

How we use it

• Only to reply to your comment or message, automatically or manually, in Aria's voice.
• To keep a short log that prevents duplicate replies and abuse (for example spam or harassment).

Replies may be written with the help of AI. Aria is not a real person, and she will say so if you ask. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering the people who write to Aria.

Retention

Reply logs are kept for up to 90 days and then deleted.

2. "Postcards from Aria" newsletter

What we receive

• Your email address and, if you give it, your first name.
• Your confirmation that you are 18 or older and your consent, with the date and time of sign-up and of the email confirmation (double opt-in).
• The page you signed up from (for example "from TikTok"), used only to count sign-ups by source.
• Your IP address, used for a few minutes to block automated sign-ups; it is not stored in the mailing list.

How we use it

Only to send you the welcome email and Aria's postcards. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email. Our emails contain no tracking pixels and no tracked links: we do not record whether an email is opened or which links are clicked.

Retention

We keep your address while you are subscribed. After you unsubscribe we delete it within 30 days, unless you ask us to keep only a record that prevents us from writing to you again.

3. Aria Vance Studio (TikTok)

Aria Vance Studio is an internal tool used only by our team to publish Aria's videos to her own TikTok account. It is not offered to the public and does not connect any other TikTok account. Through TikTok's official APIs (Login Kit and Content Posting API) we receive, for Aria's account only:

• basic profile information (open ID, display name and avatar), to show which account a video is about to be posted to;
• the access tokens needed to publish, and the processing status of each post.

This data is used only to operate the Studio, is stored on our servers in the EU, is never sold, shared or used for advertising, and is deleted when the account is disconnected. Access can be revoked at any time in the TikTok app: Settings and privacy → Security → Manage app permissions. Use of TikTok is also subject to TikTok's Privacy Policy. Aria Vance Studio is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok.

Threads

The Studio is also connected, through the official Threads API, to Aria's own Threads profile (@aria.vance.ai) and to no other account. It uses these permissions:

• threads_basic: the profile's ID, username and picture, to show which account we are publishing to.
• threads_content_publish: to publish Aria's own photos and videos, the same ones already posted on her Instagram.
• threads_read_replies and threads_manage_replies: to read the replies left under Aria's posts (text, username and time) and to hide those that are spam. Replies are checked by fixed rules and, when needed, by Google Cloud Vertex AI. Aria does not reply automatically on Threads, and a reply hidden by mistake can be restored by our team.
• threads_keyword_search: to find a few recent public posts on topics such as travel and summer fashion. Their text, author's username and link are used to prepare comment suggestions, which a member of our team reads and, if appropriate, posts by hand. Nothing is posted, liked or followed automatically on other people's profiles.

We do not receive Threads users' private messages, contacts or any non-public data. Logs of moderated replies and of suggested posts are kept for up to 90 days and then deleted. The access token is stored on our servers in the EU and deleted when the account is disconnected or the app is removed (on Threads: Settings → Account → Website permissions). Use of Threads is also subject to the Threads Privacy Policy.

Pinterest

The Studio is also connected, through Pinterest's official API, to Aria's own Pinterest account. We receive only the profile's ID, username and picture and the access tokens needed to publish Aria's own photos and videos; we do not read, collect or store other users' posts or messages. The tokens are stored on our servers in the EU and deleted when the account is disconnected. Use of Pinterest is also subject to Pinterest's Privacy Policy.

Who processes the data

We do not sell or rent your data. It is processed by Redbit S.r.l.s. and by these service providers, acting on our behalf:

• IONOS SE (Germany): hosting of our servers in the European Union (website, newsletter, replies and the Studio, including access tokens).
• Cloudflare, Inc. (USA): network and security services for our websites, including the pages used to connect the Studio to Aria's accounts.
• Google Cloud (Vertex AI) (Google LLC, USA): AI used only to draft replies, check comments and replies for spam and prepare comment suggestions.
• Telegram (Telegram FZ-LLC, UAE): internal notifications to our team about moderated comments and suggested posts.

When data is processed outside the European Union, the transfer is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. None of this data is used for advertising or to train AI models.

Your rights and deletion

You can ask us to delete your data at any time: see the data deletion instructions. Under the GDPR you also have the rights of access, rectification, restriction, portability and objection, and you can lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) or the authority of your country.
