Influencer Scout Privacy Policy

Influencer Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 September 2026

JAYD Swimwear uses Influencer Scout, an internal creator-outreach workflow, to help authorised team members manage communications with creators on Instagram.

Information we process

When an Instagram user communicates with @jaydswimwear and Meta makes a messaging event available to Influencer Scout, we may process:

  • the Instagram Professional account ID for @jaydswimwear;
  • an Instagram-scoped sender ID;
  • the sender's exact Instagram username, when available through Meta's official API;
  • the Meta message ID;
  • the recipient or account ID;
  • the event timestamp, direction and event subtype; and
  • an internal candidate or outreach record used to determine whether the sender exactly matches a creator already recorded in Influencer Scout.

Influencer Scout does not autonomously send Instagram direct messages. Initial outreach is sent manually by an authorised JAYD team member. During feasibility and shadow-mode testing, message bodies are not persisted. If JAYD later introduces message-text processing or assisted reply drafting, this policy will be updated before that processing is enabled, and outbound replies will continue to require human approval.

How we use this information

We use this information to authenticate and operate JAYD's Instagram integration, verify incoming webhook events, prevent duplicate processing, match replies using exact Instagram identifiers rather than display names, detect verified replies to manual outreach, maintain security and audit records, and diagnose integration issues.

Sharing and service providers

Information may be processed by Meta to provide Instagram services and by infrastructure providers acting on JAYD's behalf. We do not sell Instagram messaging metadata. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, security or integrity of JAYD, our users or others.

Retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, audit and legal requirements. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect the information we process.

Your choices and data deletion

You may request access, correction or deletion of information associated with your Instagram account by emailing jess@jaydswimwear.com with the subject “Influencer Scout data request”. We may ask for information necessary to verify the request. Subject to applicable law and necessary security or legal retention, we will delete or de-identify the relevant information.

Changes

We may update this policy when Influencer Scout's data practices change. The updated date above will show when revisions take effect.

Frequently asked questions

The JAYD Creator Program is for anyone who loves the water and loves to create. Creators receive JAYD product in exchange for authentic content — you don't need to be an athlete to apply, just a genuine love of the ocean and active lifestyle.

Anyone is eligible to apply. The application does ask whether you have over 2,000 followers, as we aim to partner with creators who can help JAYD content reach as many people as possible — but every application is reviewed individually.

Creator benefits are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Most creators receive JAYD product in exchange for content. Creators who perform particularly well may also be offered an affiliate code on top of gifting.

Creators are expected to produce authentic user-generated content across TikTok and Instagram, including stories. We're looking for genuine, true-to-you content rather than overly polished or scripted posts.

The Creator Program is geared towards anyone who loves the water and loves to create — no athletic background needed. The Ambassador Program is for athletes and community leaders representing JAYD long-term, in and out of the water. Both programs are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Complete the application form on this page with your details and social media information. The JAYD team reviews every application personally.

We review applications regularly. If you haven't heard from us within 3 weeks, your application wasn't successful at this time.

No, you don't need 2,000 followers to apply, and the application is open to everyone. We do ask about follower count as part of the form, as we aim to partner with creators who can help JAYD content reach a wider audience, but every application is considered.

Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, so this is something the JAYD team will discuss with you directly if relevant.
