In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Darwin's AI analyzes Creator video content to identify natural ad slot opportunities. This analysis examines visual elements, scene composition, object placement, and content context to determine optimal locations for non-intrusive ad placements.
AI-generated data includes placement quality scores, estimated impressions, recommended pricing, and preview images showing how Placements would appear within your content. This data is used to facilitate Ad Slot proposals and Brand matching.
Creator content is processed by Darwin's AI systems and may be stored temporarily for the purpose of analysis. Original content remains on the Creator's chosen platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram). Darwin does not host, publish, or redistribute your original content.
You may opt out of AI content analysis by removing your content from the Platform. Please note that opting out may be subject to obligations under active campaigns, and any previously generated AI analysis data will be deleted in accordance with our data retention policies described below.

You may request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to applicable legal retention requirements. To make a deletion request, please contact us at privacy@darwin.so.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure server infrastructure, role-based access controls, and regular security assessments and audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
