Use of Tracking URLs
What are tracking URLs?
A tracking URL is a special web address that we use to monitor user activity within our affiliate programs. This tool assists both us and our partners in understanding how specific traffic sources, activities, or user actions are associated with user registrations, purchases, and other target actions.
Purpose of tracking
Tracking URLs are fundamental to the services we provide on our platform to our partners as part of our contract with third parties (Advertisers and Publishers) in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. These URLs are optimized to analyze user click behavior and supply our partners with valuable feedback on their advertising strategies.
Data we collect
When a user interacts with a tracking URL, we may collect the following information:
- click_id: A distinct online identifier generated when a user clicks a link.
- referrer_url: It identifies the web page from which the resource was requested.
- The country where the click was made.
- The date and time of the user’s visit to the URL.
- Information about the user’s device and browser.
- Other parameters related to specific affiliate programs.
We also collect the following data components: website_id, website_name, banner_id, publisher_id, publisher_name, channel_id, group_id, uid (synonymous with click_id), referrer_url, country_code, and timestamp (a component that converts the time of the click into a UNIX timestamp).
For our publishers’ users (users who follow a publisher’s affiliate link):
User privacy is our priority. We do not collect the personal data of users who click on a publisher’s affiliate link (such as names or email addresses) using tracking URLs. We only aggregate anonymized data about these users.
For publishers:
We do not collect the personal data of publishers (publisher_name, email addresses) using tracking URLs unless explicitly stated in the context of a specific affiliate program.
Third parties
We collaborate with various partners and advertisers. Some of them may use our tracking URLs to evaluate the effectiveness of their affiliate programs.
Stripe
We use Stripe, a payment processing software, for billing advertisers. Stripe may store your bank account and/or credit card details (referred to as “Payment Information”). We connect with those third parties to bill you for payments associated with using the Service. We do not store or process payment information, such as your credit or debit card number, or your bank account number.

To tailor the onboarding process to user specific needs and preferences, we pass to Userflow the following information: username, email, country, date of registration, and type of subscription.
