Creative Drive is operated by MeowMedia Services (Reg. No. 10274/2025), Lluidas Vale, St. Catherine, Jamaica. This explains what we collect when you join, why, and what you control.
What we collect
Your name, talent or business, email, phone number, parish, age group, gender, lane, and what you told us you want from the group. Nothing else. No tracking or advertising cookies on this site.
Why
- Email and phone — to send the newsletter and add you to the community.
- Talent, lane and parish — to match you with relevant opportunities and, later, build the directory.
- Age group and gender — to understand who the network serves and report anonymously to partners and funders. Never published beside your name.
- What you want — to shape the programming and the opportunities we chase on your behalf.
The directory
A public creative directory is planned. Your details are held for it, but your profile will not appear until you confirm separately that you want it published, and you choose what appears. You can decline the directory and stay a full member.
If you sign up as a backer
The backer form collects your name, organisation, email, phone, region, the kind of backer you are, the amount and frequency you have in mind, whether you'd co-invest, what you want in return, the project types you're interested in, and any notes you add. We use it for one thing: deciding which project pitches to send you.
Your details are never passed to a creative unless you tell us you're interested in their project. Amounts you tell us are treated as private and are never shown to creatives, published, or used in any public material. You can ask us to stop sending pitches at any time.
If you send in a brief
Briefs work the opposite way to everything else here. If you submit an opportunity for the community, the details of that opportunity — what it is, the budget, the deadline, who to contact — are meant to be published to members. Your name and organisation go out with it. We read every submission before it is posted and may come back to you with questions or decline to post it. Your email is used to reach you about the brief, and isn't published unless you've asked creatives to respond to you by email.
Who sees it
Only the Creative Drive team. We use trusted providers to send email and run the community, and they process your data only to deliver that service. We don't sell, rent or trade your information. Reports to funders and partners contain anonymous, aggregated numbers only.
Members of the WhatsApp Community can see the phone number and display name you use on WhatsApp — that's how group messaging works. If you'd rather not share a number with other members, tell us at signup and we'll keep you on the newsletter only.
How long
Until you ask us to remove it, or after three years of no contact from you, whichever comes first.
Your rights
Under Jamaica's Data Protection Act you may ask to see what we hold on you, correct it, or have it deleted. Unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in every email, and leave the community at any time. Email meowmediaservices@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
Security
Your information is stored on password-protected, access-limited systems. No system is perfect. If a breach ever affects your data we'll tell you and the relevant authority promptly.
Children
Creative Drive is for people 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and delete it if we learn we have.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll say so in the newsletter before it takes effect.
