Welcome to TopThis, a talent-first platform owned and operated by TopThis Media LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) that allows users (“you,” “your,” or “User”) to showcase your skills, join competitions, and engage with a creative global community.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you access or use the TopThis app (the “App”) and any related services. By creating an account or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.

For additional terms governing your use of the App, please see our Terms of Use.

1. Information We Collect

We collect four main types of data to provide and improve your experience:

Personal Information

This includes details that identify or could reasonably identify you—such as your name, email, photo, or contact info—collected when you create a user account.

Usage Information

This is data about how you use the App, including:

App interactions and features you access
IP address and device identifiers

We may also receive Usage Information from third-party tools like analytics services.

Other Information

You may choose to share additional profile details like age, gender, or other demographic info that helps personalize your experience.

Third-Party Information

We may supplement data from you with information from third-party services or partners (e.g. login via a social media account). If combined with Personal Information, we’ll treat it as such.

2. Accounts and Public Content

When you register, you create a User Account with a public profile name visible to others.

Some features (like competitions and comment sections) are public. Content or Personal Information you share in these public areas may be visible to other users. Please use discretion—this policy does not apply to information you make public.

To report unauthorized account creation, email us at [email protected].

We may use that data to help you connect with friends.
