This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, engage our affiliate marketing services, or communicate with our team — including Shointal Mano and other representatives.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as certain information automatically when you interact with our platforms:

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We process your data for legitimate business interests and contractual obligations, including:

• Responding to inquiries, proposals, and providing quotes about our affiliate and performance marketing services.
• Managing affiliate partnerships, tracking commissions, and optimizing campaigns.
• Sending newsletters, industry insights, or service updates (only with your consent or where we have a legitimate interest).
• Improving our website, user experience, and marketing strategies.
• Complying with legal obligations (Estonian law, GDPR, ePrivacy).

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We never sell your personal information. However, we may share data with:

• Trusted service providers: IT hosting (EU-based servers), CRM tools, affiliate tracking platforms, email distribution providers, analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) — all under strict data processing agreements.
• Legal & regulatory authorities: if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Affiliate1.
• Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, we will notify you and ensure continued data protection.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Typical retention periods:

• Inquiry/contact data: up to 24 months after last interaction, unless a business relationship continues.
• Affiliate partner data: duration of the partnership + up to 7 years for legal/accounting requirements (including commission records).
• Marketing data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses essential, functional, and analytical cookies to enhance navigation, remember preferences, and understand visitor behaviour. We also use affiliate tracking cookies to properly attribute partner referrals. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings. Third-party analytics (Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insights) may collect anonymized IP data. For detailed cookie usage, contact our data protection team.

6. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR / Estonia)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or under applicable privacy laws, you have the following rights:

• Right to access – request a copy of your personal data.
• Right to rectification – correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – request deletion when data is no longer necessary.
• Right to restrict processing – limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object – to direct marketing or processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent – at any time, without affecting previous processing.

7. International Data Transfers

Affiliate1 operates primarily within the EU/EEA. Some third-party service providers (e.g., affiliate networks, analytics tools) may be located outside the EEA; we ensure appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses, GDPR-compliant agreements) to protect your data.

8. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures — including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, regular security reviews, and employee training — to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are directed to businesses, professionals, and adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 16 years of age. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it promptly.
