Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information Hissini collects, why we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to hissini.com, our mobile apps, and related services.

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Who we are

Hissini (“Hissini”, “we”, “us”) is a creative marketplace based at Handan A 7, 100-Torshavn, Faroe Islands. We connect Inspirers, actors, artists, and producers so ideas can be discovered, unlocked, licensed, or purchased.

For privacy questions, email support@hissini.com. We handle personal data in line with applicable Faroese data-protection law and, where it applies, comparable European standards.

Information we collect

We collect information you give us, information created when you use the platform, and limited information from payment and infrastructure providers that help us run the service.

  • Account and profile: name or username, email, password (stored in hashed form), country of residence, language and genre preferences, role (Inspirer, actor, artist, producer), and profile details you choose to add.
  • Content: ideas, scripts, audio, video, comments, thumbnails, and other files you upload, plus review and moderation status.
  • Transactions: purchase requests, deal records, subscription plan, invoices, payout requests, and whether a payment succeeded or failed. We do not store full card numbers.
  • Payout details: if you withdraw earnings, we collect the beneficiary information needed to pay you (for example account holder name and masked bank or wallet identifiers).
  • Usage: searches, previews, unlocks, likes/thumbs-up, device type, app version, IP address, and similar technical logs used for security and reliability.
  • Support and marketing: messages you send through the website contact form, in-app support, and newsletter email if you subscribe.

How we use your information

  • Create and secure your account, and show the right tools for your role.
  • Review uploads, prevent duplicates and abuse, and display approved content to other users.
  • Process subscriptions, content purchases, rights transfers, invoices, and creator payouts.
  • Enforce platform policies you accept before uploading, viewing paid content, or buying rights.
  • Send transactional notices (payment status, deal updates, payouts). Marketing email is sent only if you subscribe, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Improve the product, measure usage in aggregate, and keep the service safe (fraud, spam, and unauthorized access).
  • Comply with law, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution requirements.

Payments and financial data

Card, wallet, and bank payments are processed by licensed payment providers (including QuickPay and similar gateways we may use). Those providers receive the payment details needed to charge or pay you. Hissini stores transaction references, amounts, currency, status, and limited method labels (for example card or bank transfer) so we can confirm deals, issue invoices, and pay creators.

Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed by Apple or Google under their privacy policies. We receive confirmation that a purchase or subscription is active, not your full store payment credentials.

See the Payments & Refunds Policy for how charges, refunds, and payouts work.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to operate Hissini:

  • Other users, as required by the product: public profile elements, approved content, attribution, and information needed to complete a rights deal between buyer and creator.
  • Payment processors, payout providers, and invoicing tools.
  • Hosting, storage, email, and analytics providers that process data on our instructions.
  • App stores when you download or buy through Apple or Google.
  • Professional advisers and authorities when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to resolve a dispute.

International transfers

Hissini is operated from the Faroe Islands. Providers and users may be located in other countries. Where data leaves your country, we use appropriate safeguards such as contracts with processors and access controls.

How long we keep it

We keep account and content data while your account is open and for a reasonable period after closure if needed for disputes, backups, or legal claims. Transaction, invoice, and payout records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require. Support messages and newsletter records are kept only as long as needed for those purposes.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent (for example marketing), and request a copy of data you provided to us. You can also close your account in the app or by emailing support@hissini.com.

We may need to keep some records (for example completed payments and signed purchase agreements) even after a deletion request. If you believe we have not handled your data properly, you may contact us first and, where applicable, the Faroese Data Protection Authority (Dátueftirlitið).

Children

Hissini is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact support@hissini.com and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (access control, encrypted connections, hashed passwords, and limited staff access to payment and payout data). No online service is completely secure. Please use a strong unique password and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

Cookies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the product, law, or our providers change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Material changes may also be notified in the app or by email where appropriate. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
