We review requests in good faith.

Additional verification may be requested before changes are made.

Profile Claims

Certain profiles may be claimed by their owners.

Once verified, profile owners may receive additional editing capabilities.

Claiming a profile does not guarantee:

• higher ranking
• recommendations
• visibility
• verification badges

AI and Data

Artificial Intelligence may organize available information to improve:

• recommendations
• Collections
• opportunity matching
• artist discovery
• search relevance
• profile summaries

AI does not independently create factual information about people or companies.

Where AI-generated summaries are used, they are based on available information.

Recommendation Data

Virtual Publicist may use information such as:

• genres
• locations
• audience geography
• connected platforms
• profile completeness

to recommend:

• opportunities
• industry professionals

• Collections
• outreach suggestions

Recommendations may change as information changes.

Data Quality

We aim to keep information:

• relevant
• accurate
• organized
• up to date

However, no network is perfect.

We encourage users to report inaccuracies.

Data Removal

Where appropriate, profile owners may request:

• corrections
• updates
• profile claims
• removal requests

Some information may remain available where:

• legally required
• already public
• necessary to maintain platform integrity

Each request is reviewed individually.

Internal Data Protection

Not all data within Virtual Publicist is publicly visible.

Certain information is restricted to:

• internal administration
• authorized team members
• verified users
• subscription features

Internal systems include permissions designed to limit access based on role.

Future Improvements

As Virtual Publicist grows, additional data sources, verification systems and update processes may be introduced.

We may improve how data is categorized, verified and presented.

Material changes to this policy will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date.
