Platform-to-Business Terms
Transparency and fairness for business users under EU and UK regulation.
Effective Date: September 1, 2025 · Last Updated: September 1, 2025
Hatch Social ("Hatch", "we", "us", or "our") is a digital platform that facilitates creator monetization, subscription communities ("Nests"), and product-based services. These Platform-to-Business (P2B) Terms supplement our Terms of Service and ensure transparency and fairness in accordance with EU Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 and UK P2B Regulation.
If you are a business user based in the EU or UK, these rights and disclosures apply to you.
Section 01
Who Is a "Business User"?
You qualify as a business user if:
- You use Hatch to earn revenue (creator or brand)
- You are established or operate in the EU or UK
- You act in a commercial, professional, or entrepreneurial capacity
This includes individuals, sole proprietors, companies, and entities selling subscriptions or products via Hatch.
Section 02
Ranking and Discovery Disclosure
Hatch ranks public content and Nests across feeds and search based on the following factors:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Interest Tag Relevance | Matches the user's selected interests |
| Nest Activity | Engagement level — posts, comments, livestreams |
| Recency | Newer posts are prioritized over older ones |
| Quality Signals | Manual curation and flagging status (if applied) |
| Subscription Status | Paid Nests may be prioritized in niche filters |
Section 03
Notice of Changes to Terms
If we materially change these P2B Terms, or any Hatch policy impacting business users, we will:
- Provide at least 15 days' advance notice via email and/or in-platform alert
- Offer you the opportunity to terminate your account without penalty before changes take effect
- Publish the updated terms at hatch.social/legal/p2b
Section 04
Suspension or Termination of Business Users
We may suspend or terminate your business account if:
- You violate the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law
- We receive credible legal complaints or government orders
- You commit repeated content or payment violations
- You attempt to circumvent Hatch's systems (e.g., off-platform sales)
| Action | Notice Provided |
|---|---|
| Temporary Suspension | Written reason provided with appeal option |
| Permanent Termination | 30 days' notice with appeal right |
| Immediate Ban | Only in severe or urgent cases (e.g., CSAM, terrorism, fraud) |
You will receive written justification in all cases unless disclosure would interfere with legal or safety investigations.
Section 05
Complaint and Mediation Rights
Business users in the EU and UK have access to:
- Internal Complaint Handling — via [email protected]
- Independent Mediation — for unresolved complaints relating to content takedowns, account termination, visibility or ranking disputes
If mediation is requested:
- Both parties must agree on the mediator
- Costs are split unless otherwise agreed
- Mediation is voluntary and non-binding
- You may still pursue legal remedies independently
Section 06
Performance Metrics and Analytics
You may request:
- Basic analytics on content visibility and engagement

- Request a structured export (e.g., CSV) of your performance or subscription history
- Delete your account and request deletion of non-retained business data, unless otherwise required by law
Data portability requests can be submitted to [email protected].
