We may update this Policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll let you know about any material changes, either by notifying you on the Site or by sending you an email. New versions of this Policy will never apply retroactively—we’ll tell you the exact date they go into effect. If you keep using DICC.com after a change, that means you accept this Policy.
DICC CREATIONS, LLC (together with its and their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, consultants, employees, officers, and directors—collectively, “DICC CREATIONS,” “we,” or “us”) provides services that help people bring the DICC Project to life (our "Services"). Our main service is a non-investment funding platform for the Project.
This Policy describes the information we collect from you, how we use that information and our legal basis for doing so. It also covers whether and how that information may be shared and your rights and choices regarding the information you provide to us. If you see a capitalized word, it’s defined in our Terms of Use. We use cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.
By using the Services offered by DICC CREATIONS, you’re acknowledging you have agreed to our Terms of Use and that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.
In order for you to create an account on DICC CREATIONS and use our Services, we need to collect and process certain information. Depending on your use of the Services, that may include:
Information you provide by completing forms on DICC CREATION — your name, email, login, and password details. We may ask for this information if you register as a user of the Services, subscribe to our newsletters, upload or submit content through DICC CREATIONS, or if you contact us;
Information you provide for identity verification purposes if it is required, including your legal name, and date of birth. In some cases, our payment processor will request that you provide a secure upload of an identity document (such as your passport, drivers license or other
government-issued ID) to DICC CREATIONS;
Details of any requests or transactions you make through the Services. DICC CREATIONS partners with other companies (such as SupraPay and Praxis) for payment processing, and the payment information you submit is collected and used by them in accordance with their privacy policies. DICC CREATIONS doesn’t store your payment information apart from the last four digits of your credit card or bank account (as applicable), expiration date, and country, which we require for tax, government regulatory, and security purposes;
Information about your activity on and interaction with DICC CREATIONS, including use of our mobile apps (such as your IP address, the type of device or browser you use, and your actions on the Site);
Information about the ways people visit and interact with our Site, in the form of traffic analytics. You can opt out of being included in Google Analytics. For more information about our use of data analytics to protect and improve our Services, see our Cookie Policy;
Information necessary for using Google Maps features and content; use of Google Maps features and content is subject to current versions of: (1) Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service; and (2) Google Privacy Policy;
Communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions or comments, or report a problem);
Information that you submit on or to DICC CREATIONS in the form of comments, contributions to discussions, or messages to other users; and
The email address associated with your Facebook account, if you choose to sign up using your Facebook credentials. DICC CREATIONS will also request permission to access your name, profile picture, and friend list (these permissions are governed by Facebook’s privacy policies and can be managed through your Facebook privacy settings). We never post anything to your Facebook, Twitter, or other third-party accounts without your permission.
Demographic information—such as your age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity—that you have the option to provide to us after giving your consent to the processing of those personal data in order to help DICC CREATIONS.
You may decline to provide us with your information. However, this will limit your ability to register for an account or use our Services. You may purchase a Unit to the Project as a guest by providing only an email address. However, to adjust your Unit Purchase, save payment details for future purchases, make the Project comments and take most other actions on our Site, you will need to finish creating an account. You may review, change or remove your information through your account settings.
To keep your account secure and protect our Services (including to verify the identities of The Management Team and prevent fraud and abuse);
To enable us to provide you with our Services, and to improve and promote our Services;
To create and administer your account, contact you, and customize your experience on DICC.com; and
To track and analyze use of the Services so that we can improve how DICC.com is performing and provide users with the best experience possible.
European Union Users
Data protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining personal information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:
Performing the contract we have with you: In certain circumstances, we need your personal data to comply with our contractual obligation to deliver the Services, enable the Management Team to establish and display the Project, and enable Unit Members to find and make Unit Purchases towards it.
Legal compliance: Sometimes the law says we need to collect and use your data. For example, tax laws require us to retain records of Unit Purchase and payments made through our Services.
Legitimate interests: This is a technical term in data protection law which essentially means we have a good and fair reason to use your data and we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. We sometimes require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.
For example, we use identity, device, and location information to prevent fraud and abuse and to keep the Services secure. We may also send you promotional communications about our Services, subject to your right to control whether we do so.
We analyze how users interact with our Site so we can understand better what elements of the design are working well and which are not working so well. This allows us to improve and develop the quality of the online experience we offer all our users.
When you create an account, we create a basic profile page for you on DICC.com, containing your username, the date the account was created, and the amounts you have backed or launched. By default, your profile is private and you can choose to make it public in your account settings. Your username appears with the comments you post and messages you send on DICC.com and, if your profile is set to public, people can click your username to view it. If you make your profile public, others will be able to see the following things:
The account username you select, and the date the account was created;
Any information you choose to add to your profile (like a picture, bio, or your location); Amounts of Units you’ve purchased (but not purchase amounts or rewards chosen); Comments you’ve posted on DICC.com (when applicable); and
If you have “Liked” a Project update.
If you would like to have a public profile, but don’t want others to see your name or profile image on the Project’s Community section, you may choose an account image or name that is not identifiable (e.g., CatLuvr88). You can modify or delete certain information associated with your account (such as your username, profile image, biography and location) from your account settings, and you can change your privacy settings if you want to make your profile private or adjust the default settings.
The following data will not be publicly displayed or revealed to other users: Any payment information you provide;
Your password details; Your IP address;
Your phone number;
Your date of birth and other identity verification documentation); Private profile information, in accordance with your preferences; and
Communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions or comments, or report a problem);
We may share your information with certain trusted third-party services to help us provide, improve, promote, or protect DICC CREATION’s Services (like when we partner with payment processors, or use services that help us manage our ads on other sites). When we share data with third-party services that support our delivery of the DICC CREATIONs Services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we’ve authorized, and that they protect your personal information at least to the same standards we do. We may also share information that’s aggregated and anonymized in a way that it doesn’t directly identify you.
When you back the Project, the Management Team will know your username, the amount you have purchased, and the reward level you have selected. The Management Team never receive Member’s credit card details or other payment information.
If the Project you have purchased a Unit in is successfully funded for that Milestone, the Management Team will receive the email address associated with your DICC CREATIONS account. They may also send you a survey requesting information needed to provide your reward. (For instance, they may need your mailing address, or T-shirt size.) Any information you provide in such surveys will be received by the Management Team.
The Management Team is required to keep Member information confidential, except as strictly necessary to communicate with Unit Members directly and fulfill rewards. The Management Team should not ask for personal information that isn’t necessary to provide your reward, and should never request sensitive personal information such as your Social Security number or payment information. Contact us at support@dicc.com if you receive a request for information that seems inappropriate or excessive.
Collaborators are third parties that The Management Team can appoint to help manage the Project. These collaborators may be able to access the information available to the Management Team (including Unit Members names, email addresses, Unit Purchase amounts, reward selections, messages, and survey responses), and are required to treat Unit Member’s personal information with the same care and respect as the Management Team are.
We do reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or law enforcement, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect DICC CREATIONS legal rights, property, or the safety of DICC CREATIONS, its employees, users, or others.
Our Site may include links to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from DICC.com´s. When you use a link to an external site or service, the privacy policy and data processing disclosures for that site or service governs.

We will also retain and use this information as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect DICC CREATION’s legal rights.
We also collect and maintain aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized information which we may retain indefinitely to protect the safety and security of our Site, improve our Services or comply with legal obligations.
