Introduction
Gleam (“Gleam”, “we” or “us”) provides software that helps online businesses (our “Customers”) run engaging marketing campaigns that are promoted to customers (“Campaign Users”).
Security & Privacy is an important part of our platform that we take very seriously. Therefore, this Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Gleam collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the https://gleam.io website (“Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products or services offered by Gleam.
In order to ensure confidentiality and lawful processing of its, Visitors, Customers and Campaign Users personal data, Gleam in its capacity of a data controller and of a processor, conducts its activities in strict compliance with the requirements set in the Australia Privacy Act 1988, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of this data (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
This Privacy Policy applies to all Customers, Campaign Users and Visitors of our Site and Services.
What Information We Collect and How We Use It
We may collect the following types of information about you on our Website
Customers and Visitors of our Site
We may collect your personal data in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when you visit our Site, register on the Site, subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a form, or in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available.
Registration and Contact Information: As appropriate and depending on the Services you would like to use, Customers and Visitors may be asked to provide us with full name, username, email, address, credit card, phone number or billing information.
Payment Information: When you purchase the Services, we will also collect transaction information, which may include your credit card information, billing and mailing address, and other payment-related information.
Technical, Usage and Location Information: We automatically collect information on how you interact with the Site, such as the IP address from which you access the Site, date and time, information about your browser, operating system and computer or device, pages viewed and items clicked. We may also collect location information, including location information automatically provided by your computer or device. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect some of this information and persist your login to our Site.
Third Party Platforms. We may collect information when you interact with our advertisements and other content on third-party sites or platforms, such as social networking sites. This may include information such as Facebook Likes, profile information gathered from social networking sites during signup or the fact that you viewed or interacted with our content.
Other Information. We may collect other information from you that is not specifically listed here. We may use any such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by you.
Gleam Campaign Users
Companies that use Gleam to run campaigns (“Campaign”) may require Campaign Users to supply certain information as part of a Campaign. Gleam processes this data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Gleam is a consent based marketing platform, this means that in order for us to process data on behalf of users they must provide it via explicit consent first. This might be as simple as filling out a form or something more complex like connecting Facebook to their Gleam account.
Gleam also does not collect retain or share end user information including IP addresses, unique user identifiers, or personally identifiable information gathered on sites or apps not owned by Gleam, except for the limited purpose of determining conversion rates & detecting fraud, in which case all personally identifiable information remains anonymous until you explicitly consent by entering a campaign.
Gleam does not track or provide any personal information to Companies that run Campaigns until you explicitly provide consent. This means that you do not expose any personal information to either Gleam or Companies until you actively participate in their Campaign (even if you are still logged into Gleam or not).
IP Addresses: IP addresses are collected Anonymously (last octet removed) for reporting and usage purposes. When you consent to a specific campaign your IP address is linked to the associated record and allows campaign owners to filter records that share an IP address. Your IP address is never shared publicly within the app and always remains hidden.
Name, Email & Form Fields: By default each Campaign may collect basic login information from users that includes their full name and email address. By entering campaigns you are accepting that campaign owners will have access to the information you provide.
Some Campaigns may also require additional Custom Fields which include Date of Birth (for Age Verification) and other identifiable fields that the user can choose to fill out.
Social Logins: Gleam also allows Campaign Users to connect social accounts to your profile. Companies that have social logins enabled on their Campaigns will be able to see basic information related to accounts that you connect. This includes but is not limited to your name, email address, social profile URL’s and associated profile photos.
Gleam will never use or post to these accounts without your permission and will always require your interaction with the widget to execute any specific actions
Gleam will only ever use information that you have made public or specifically allowed us to access when you accept permissions
Gleam does not know or store any passwords associated with your social accounts
If you wish to remove the link between Gleam and any social network, you can either remove the Gleam Competitions app inside that specific social network or unlink it from the Edit tab inside the Campaign
Persistent Logins: Gleam is a distributed platform, which means that if a Campaign User has previously logged into our widget they will continue to stay logged in via third party Cookies across other Campaigns owned by other Companies until they specifically log out. This is designed to make it easy for users to enter more than one campaign without having to re-enter their details again.
YouTube and Google
For YouTube Actions, Gleam uses YouTube’s API Services to receive data. Users who use these Actions agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
Users who log in via Google/Youtube grant access to Gleam to access selected data stored in Google/YouTube. You may revoke this access at any time via your Google security settings (under “Your connections to third-party apps & services”). For more information, please review the Google Privacy policy.

Our Site uses both first and third party Cookies to enhance User experience. A User’s web browser places a cookie on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them.

Device fingerprinting is a process by which a fingerprint of a device is captured when visiting a website.
Gleam uses 3rd party services to gather a number of data points from a Gleam Campaign Users computer, such as operating system version, browser version, screen resolution, plug-ins & language. This unique ID is then transmitted when Gleam Campaign Users consent by providing their details when entering a campaign.
The information collected via Device Fingerprinting is used to identify patterns of fraudulent behaviour by Gleam Campaign Users that violate our Terms of Service. This includes trying to cheat by creating multiple accounts, referring your own devices or accounts into a Campaign or attempting to redeem a Reward that is limited to one per person.
Gleam does not use this information to track or identify users on sites or apps not owned by Gleam or for any other purpose than to detect fraud & protect the integrity of Campaigns, nor do we use the gleam.io or js.gleam.io domains to fingerprint on 3rd party domains.

Ensure that your specific request is carried out and assigned to the correct campaign that you provided consent for

Title: Exploring Giveaways on Instagram: Guidelines, Strategies, and Community Engagement
Introduction
Instagram, the popular photo and video sharing platform, has evolved into a powerful tool for brands, influencers, and content creators to connect with audiences and promote their products or services. One effective way to engage followers and attract new ones is through giveaways. Giveaways on Instagram offer an opportunity for users to win prizes while increasing brand visibility and driving user interaction. However, understanding the guidelines, best practices, and potential outcomes of Instagram giveaways is essential for success. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the policies surrounding giveaways on Instagram, delve into effective strategies for hosting successful giveaways, and examine the impact of giveaways on users and brands.
Section 1: Understanding Instagram’s Policies on Giveaways
1.1 Community Guidelines:
Instagram’s Community Guidelines outline the standards for acceptable behavior and content on the platform. While the guidelines do not explicitly address giveaways, they emphasize the importance of authenticity, transparency, and respect for others. Creators must ensure that their giveaway activities align with these principles to avoid potential violations.
1.2 Promotional Guidelines:
Instagram provides specific guidelines for running promotions, including giveaways, through its Platform Policy. Creators must comply with these guidelines when conducting giveaways on the platform. Key considerations include the requirement to include official rules and terms, disclose any partnerships or sponsorships, and avoid misleading or deceptive practices.
1.3 Ad Policies:
Instagram’s Ad Policies apply to sponsored content and paid promotions, including giveaways. Creators must adhere to these policies when promoting giveaways through paid advertising on the platform. This includes accurately representing the giveaway and avoiding misleading or false advertising.
1.4 Transparency and Disclosure:
Transparency is crucial when hosting giveaways on Instagram. Creators must clearly disclose any partnerships, sponsorships, or affiliations related to the giveaway to maintain transparency and integrity. This includes disclosing when a giveaway is sponsored or in collaboration with another brand or entity.
1.5 Prohibited Content:
While Instagram allows creators to host giveaways, certain types of content are prohibited on the platform. Creators should avoid engaging in spammy or deceptive practices, such as artificially inflating engagement metrics or misleading participants. Giveaway content should be authentic, transparent, and compliant with Instagram’s Community Guidelines.
Section 2: Best Practices for Hosting Giveaways on Instagram
2.1 Define Clear Objectives:
Before hosting a giveaway on Instagram, creators should establish clear objectives and goals. Whether the aim is to increase follower count, drive engagement, promote a product or service, or generate user-generated content, defining specific goals will guide the planning and execution of the giveaway.
2.2 Choose Relevant Prizes:
Selecting prizes that resonate with the target audience is essential for a successful Instagram giveaway. Whether it’s products, gift cards, experiences, or exclusive access, choosing prizes that align with audience interests and preferences increases the appeal of the giveaway and encourages participation.
2.3 Plan Giveaway Mechanics:
Creators should carefully plan the mechanics of the giveaway, including entry methods, eligibility criteria, and duration. Common entry methods include liking the post, commenting, following the account, tagging friends, or creating user-generated content using specific hashtags. Establishing clear rules and guidelines ensures a fair and transparent giveaway process.
2.4 Create Compelling Content:
Compelling visual content is essential for capturing users’ attention and driving engagement on Instagram. Creators should create visually appealing posts that highlight the giveaway details, prizes, and instructions for participation. Utilizing high-quality images, videos, captions, and interactive elements can enhance the appeal of giveaway content.
2.5 Promote and Publicize:
Effective promotion is key to maximizing participation in an Instagram giveaway. Creators can leverage various strategies to promote the giveaway, including posting teaser content, collaborating with other creators or brands, utilizing Instagram Stories, engaging with relevant hashtags, and leveraging influencer partnerships. Engaging users and generating excitement around the giveaway can significantly increase participation.
2.6 Engage with Participants:
Hosting a giveaway provides an opportunity for creators to engage with their audience and foster community interaction. Creators should actively respond to comments, answer questions, and acknowledge participants’ entries to create a positive and engaging experience for users.
2.7 Maintain Transparency:
Transparency is critical throughout the giveaway process. Creators should clearly communicate the giveaway rules, eligibility criteria, and prize details to participants. Additionally, creators should provide regular updates and announcements to keep participants informed and engaged.
2.8 Select Winners Fairly:
When selecting giveaway winners, creators must ensure fairness and impartiality. Randomized selection methods, such as using random comment pickers or selecting winners based on predetermined criteria, can help ensure an unbiased outcome. Creators should document the winner selection process to maintain transparency and credibility.
2.9 Deliver Prizes Promptly:
Timely prize delivery is essential for maintaining participant satisfaction and trust. Creators should promptly deliver prizes to giveaway winners and provide clear instructions for claiming their rewards. Effective communication and follow-up are critical to ensuring a positive giveaway experience for all participants.
Section 3: Impact of Giveaways on Instagram Communities
3.1 Audience Engagement and Interaction:
Giveaways serve as effective tools for driving audience engagement and interaction on Instagram. By offering incentives such as prizes or rewards, creators can encourage users to participate actively in the giveaway, comment on posts, and share content with others.

Hosting giveaways fosters community building and strengthens relationships between creators and their audiences on Instagram. Giveaways provide a shared experience for users, encouraging camaraderie and collaboration within the community.
3.3 Audience Growth and Reach:
Giveaways have the potential to expand a creator’s audience and reach on Instagram. As users participate in giveaways and share content with their followers, the creator’s visibility increases, attracting new followers and viewers to the account.
3.4 Brand Awareness and Promotion:
For brands and sponsors, partnering with creators to host giveaways can enhance brand awareness and visibility among Instagram’s audience. Giveaways provide an opportunity to showcase products or services to a targeted and engaged audience, driving interest and engagement.
3.5 User-Generated Content:
Giveaways often generate user-generated content, such as comments, posts, and stories related to the giveaway. User-generated content not only increases engagement but also provides valuable insights into audience preferences and behaviors.
3.6 Viewer Loyalty and Retention:
Giveaways can strengthen viewer loyalty and retention by rewarding loyal supporters and incentivizing continued engagement. Offering exclusive perks or rewards to subscribers or long-time followers encourages retention and fosters a sense of belonging within the community.
Section 4: Legal Considerations for Giveaways on Instagram
4.1 Compliance with Laws and Regulations:
Creators hosting giveaways on Instagram must comply with applicable laws and regulations governing contests, sweepstakes, and promotions. Legal requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction, requiring creators to familiarize themselves with local laws and seek legal advice if necessary.
4.2 Official Rules and Terms:
Creators should establish official rules and terms for their Instagram giveaways, including eligibility criteria, entry methods, prize details, and winner selection criteria. Clearly communicating these rules to participants helps ensure compliance and transparency throughout the giveaway process.
