How we handle your information
What the application collects
Your first and last name, email address, Instagram username, optional TikTok username, where you are based (a broad region), and your timezone. We also ask about your content experience, your biggest challenge, whether you can join two live calls a week starting the week of January 11, whether you are ready to invest in the January cohort, and your permission to email you.
Malakai and Maddie use these answers to read your application, contact you about the cohort, and plan call times that work for the group. If you cannot join the calls or are not ready to invest, your application is labelled “exploring”; the others are labelled “fit” for sorting. That label is not an admission decision. Malakai and Maddie review applications themselves.
The database also keeps the signup source, request and confirmation times, confirmation and unsubscribe tokens, email delivery status, and whether you unsubscribe. Your email address is confirmed only after you use the emailed link and confirmation button. Please leave sensitive information out of your answers.
Who sees it
Malakai and Maddie review your application. Supabase stores the application and Resend sends the emails. Vercel hosts the website. Stripe processes payments; Afterpay and Klarna handle their own repayment agreements. We store payment references, amounts and application decisions, never your card details. We do not sell your information or share it for advertising.
The host receives request information, including your internet address. To limit abuse, the application stores a keyed hash of that address. It expires after fifteen minutes and is removed on a later signup request. The hidden website field is an abuse check; its value is not stored with an application.
Email and deletion
The first email asks you to confirm your request. A welcome email follows only after you confirm. Replies about your submitted application are sent whether or not your email address is confirmed, unless you have unsubscribed. Application confirmation emails include an unsubscribe link. Payment receipts and essential enrollment messages are sent separately. Open it and press Unsubscribe to stop future queued emails; your email app’s one-click unsubscribe also records your choice immediately.
For deletion, access, corrections or questions, contact malakai@travelcreatoracademy.co. Unsubscribing stops application updates; it does not itself delete the application.
How long we keep it
We keep applications for 12 months after the cohort ends, then delete them.
