Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data the Zilancer Affiliate Network ("the Platform") collects and how it is used. Operated by Zilancer LLC.

1. What we collect - Account data: name, email, country, website/social links, and other details you provide when applying as an affiliate. - Referral tracking data: UTM parameters, a hashed (not raw) IP address, user agent, referrer, and a generated click ID when someone clicks your referral link. - Financial data: commission and payout records, and encrypted payout account details you provide. - Merchant shop domains reported to us by Zilancer's own Shopify apps for attribution purposes (e.g. "merchant.myshopify.com") — we do not receive a merchant's personal data through this platform.

2. What we don't collect We intentionally hash IP addresses rather than storing them in plain form, and we do not collect more personal data than needed to run the affiliate program.

3. How we use it - To operate your affiliate account, calculate commissions, and process payouts. - To detect fraud and abuse (e.g. repeated clicks, self-referral patterns) — flagged for manual review, not automated punitive action. - To send you account and commission-related notifications.

4. Sharing We do not sell your data. We share the minimum necessary payout details with payment processors when a payout method requires it. We may disclose data if required by law.

5. Security Sensitive payout/tax details are encrypted at rest. Access to affiliate financial data is restricted to authorized Zilancer administrators.

6. Your rights You can request a copy of your data or request account deletion by contacting contact@zilancer.com. Financial records tied to completed transactions may be retained as required for accounting/legal purposes even after account deletion.

7. Changes We may update this policy; material changes will be communicated to active affiliates.

8. Contact contact@zilancer.com
