Legal bases for processing

We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal bases for processing personal data typically include:

Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to provide our services to you.
Legitimate Interests: For example, to monitor and improve our Platform or to prevent fraud.
Consent: Where required by law (e.g., certain marketing communications), we will obtain your consent.

Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share personal data under the following circumstances:

Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our Platform, processing payments, or providing analytics services.
Legal requirements: If required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., law enforcement).
Business transfers: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

International data transfers

As a company based in Sweden, we may transfer personal data to service providers or partners located in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected, such as by implementing Standard Contractual Clauses or relying on other valid transfer mechanisms as required by applicable law.

Data retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or to comply with legal obligations. The specific retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the legal or contractual obligations we are subject to.

Your rights

Subject to applicable laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

Access: The right to request a copy of your personal data that we hold.
Correction: The right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Deletion: The right to request the deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
Restriction: The right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Portability: The right to request the transfer of your personal data to another organization, where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support[at]affilibee.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

Cookies, tracking, and analytics

Affilibee uses a privacy-first approach to tracking and keeps the use of cookies to a minimum:

Essential cookies: We use strictly necessary cookies for security (e.g., CSRF tokens) and session management (e.g., login sessions). If you choose to block these, some features of our Platform may not function properly.
Privacy-first tracking We do not rely on invasive tracking methods or third-party advertising cookies.

Pirsch Analytics

To better understand user interactions and improve our services, we use Pirsch Analytics, a cookie-free web analytics tool developed according to the Privacy by Design principle. Pirsch Analytics uses a hashing algorithm to generate a 16-digit visitor ID based on the IP address, user agent, the current date, and a unique salt. Key points include:

No IP storage: The visitor’s IP address is never stored—only the hashed and fully anonymized value is recorded.
One salt per website: This ensures visitors cannot be recognized across multiple websites, and each day uses a new salt so that visitors cannot be tracked beyond a 24-hour period.
Rough geolocation: Country/city data is derived from a locally integrated database, offering only general location information.
Privacy by design: Because Pirsch Analytics does not set cookies and anonymizes all data, it minimizes the collection of personal information and complies with stringent privacy requirements.

Security measures

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Despite our efforts, no security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your personal data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
