To provide our services, we gather the following Personal Data from our affiliates and sponsors:
• Contact information (address, phone number, email)
• Information about address
• Domain names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
• Different Operating Systems and Browsers
• Finance data and transaction history
• Special markers related to partner-displayed advertisements’ click
Furthermore, to spot fraud and trace particular traffic, we gather user agent data (information on your operating system and browser) and Internet Protocol addresses (IPs) from consumers who click on the advertising we have placed with our partners. According to the GDPR, the rationale for collecting this data is our legitimate commercial interest in knowing the number of unique clicks on our advertisements and in preventing fraud. Since no more details on this group have been discovered, connecting IP addresses with a certain individual is not possible.
Except for information on affiliate activities, we are free to sell or share any of these types of personal information to marketers employing Affiliate Gravity to enable their management of their advertising campaigns. You are free to urge people to opt out of the sale or give their personal information. We do not deliberately share or sell personal information of individuals under the age of 16. For more details on how long we retain personal data, see the Retention of Personal Information section below.
We use personal information in a variety of ways. We utilize it to bill you and to tell you about our goods, services, and deals for advertisers. We use this data to monitor traffic, assess fraud in applicants, communicate with you about our goods, services, and promotions, and pay you as an affiliate. According to the GDPR, the legitimate grounds for gathering this data are that it is essential to carry out the contracts we have signed into and that our legitimate interests in preventing fraud require us to monitor candidates for it. We do not disclose the Personal Information of our Affiliates to third parties.
Additionally, as required by law, we share your personal information with our business partners and service providers.
We keep our affiliates’ personal information forever. We do this in order to compare potential affiliates with all of our known affiliates for the purpose of preventing fraud.
Your personal information is stored with one of our reliable hosting partners. In accordance with the terms of the GDPR, your personal information is kept in Canada, the European Union, or another country that the European Commission has deemed to have sufficient protection by its hosting partners.
To ensure a degree of security commensurate with the risk, we employ adequate technical and organizational safeguards to guard personal information against loss, theft, illegal access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction.
The GDPR mandates that our sub-processors and hosting partners adhere to the obligatory sub-processing contractual conditions. The sub-processor is required by the terms of these contracts to:
To guarantee the protection of personal information and its treatment with the highest care and respect, staff members are subject to stringent rules and regulations.
Your personal information must be accurate and comprehensive. We can provide you with the finest service if we know everything there is to know about you. You are entitled to ask to see, verify, and change the data we have on you. Please update your profile if there are any changes, such as a change of address, phone number, or other information. If you think we are processing your personal data in a way that violates the law, you also have the right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority and to revoke any consent you gave us to do so.
User data may be collected by Affiliate Gravity from its websites, such as IP addresses and cookies, which are alphanumeric identifiers that a website sends to a visitor’s browser. We only utilize this data to help us deliver a unique online experience for you and figure out how to make our site better. Cookies are commonly used, but your browser settings may allow you to disable them. But by doing this, some websites could operate at a subpar level or perhaps not at all.
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) defines “personal data” as any information pertaining to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, whether directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier like a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier, or by reference to one or more characteristics that are specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
We use the word “personal information” in our privacy statement to refer to both personal information as defined by PIPEDA and personal data as defined by the GDPR.
