Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

OffClicks Network Inc. ("OffClicks", "we", "us", or "our") operates an international creator deal network connecting social media influencers with global e-commerce brand promotions. This Privacy Policy details our practices regarding the collection, processing, and safeguarding of personal data obtained through our website (offclicks.com), creator dashboard, and tracking APIs.

"OffClicks adheres to a strict zero data-broker policy. We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize personal user data or banking information to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances."

2. Categories of Information We Collect

We collect information across three distinct operational categories to facilitate network services:

Account & Profile Data: Legal full name, username, email address, password, country of residence, and social media profile handles (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) submitted during creator registration.
Financial & Payout Data: Payout coordinates (such as PayPal email addresses, Payoneer account numbers, or bank routing and account numbers) required to issue commission settlements.
Tax Compliance Identifiers: Tax verification documents (IRS Form W-9 for US entities, or Form W-8BEN for international creators) mandatory under statutory financial regulations.
Affiliate Tracking Telemetry: Anonymized click identifiers, timestamps, SubID campaign tags, browser user-agent strings, and merchant destination URLs generated when users engage with tracking links.

3. How We Use Your Information

Personal and telemetry data is processed exclusively for legitimate commercial and operational purposes:

To operate, authenticate, and maintain your Creator Hub or Merchant Dashboard account.
To accurately attribute affiliate link clicks and calculate verified sales commissions.
To execute weekly and monthly financial disbursements to your designated payout provider.
To detect and prevent fraudulent activities, including bot traffic, proxy manipulation, click-stuffing, and trademark bidding.
To comply with mandatory accounting records, anti-money laundering (AML) protocols, and tax filing obligations.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Affiliate marketing relies on digital cookies and server postbacks to trace the consumer referral journey from a social media post to a merchant checkout:

Attribution Cookies: When a follower clicks an OffClicks link, a first-party tracking cookie containing an anonymous alphanumeric ID is stored on their device to credit the referring creator.
No Consumer Financial Storage: Our tracking cookies never store personal consumer identities, passwords, or credit card details.
Cookie Lifespan: Attribution cookies persist for the duration established by the merchant campaign (typically 24 hours to 60 days) or until browser storage is cleared.
Server-to-Server (S2S) Tracking: Where available, our platform uses direct server postbacks that operate independently of browser tracking cookies, ensuring accurate attribution without invasive tracking.

5. Third-Party Data Sharing & Disclosures

We share data strictly with authorized entities necessary to provide our core services:

Merchant Partners: We share order transaction IDs, referral timestamps, and creator IDs solely to verify orders and approve commission releases.
Financial Institutions: We transmit payout details to authorized banking partners, PayPal, or Payoneer to execute authorized fund transfers.
Cloud Infrastructure: Platform data is hosted on encrypted, SOC-2 compliant cloud servers with strict firewall isolation.
Legal Mandates: We may disclose information if required by a valid court order, subpoena, or governmental regulatory authority.

6. Data Security & Storage Standards

All communications across the OffClicks network are encrypted in transit using 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL). Payout and banking information is stored in segregated databases with AES-256 bit encryption at rest. Access to sensitive financial records is strictly restricted to authorized compliance officers.

7. Data Retention Policy

Personal account data is retained for the active duration of your account. Financial transaction records, payout invoices, and tax certifications are retained for a minimum of 7 years following account closure to comply with statutory legal, auditing, and corporate tax regulations. Non-converting telemetry logs are automatically purged after 90 days.

8. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA / CalOPPA & Global)

Depending on your geographic location, you possess defined legal rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal records we maintain regarding your account.
Right to Rectification: You may correct or update inaccurate profile or banking details directly within your dashboard.
Right to Deletion: You may request account deletion and erasure of personal data, subject to mandatory tax retention exceptions.
Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercising your legal privacy rights will never result in altered commission rates or degraded platform services.

9. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

The OffClicks network is strictly designed for individuals aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from minors under the age of 13. If an account registered by a minor is identified, it will be terminated immediately and associated personal data erased.
