Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Affiliate Marketing Girl ("we", "us"), the operator of affiliatemarketinggirl.io and its related content properties, collects, uses, and protects information. Contact: hello@affiliatemarketinggirl.io.

1. Who we are

Affiliate Marketing Girl is an independent publisher of editorial content and research about affiliate marketing programs. The website and the Pinterest account associated with this application are owned and operated by us.

2. Data we collect

• Usage data: pages visited, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser type.
• Contact data: your email address and message content if you write to us.
• Click data: which affiliate or outbound links you click, including UTM parameters.
• Search performance data: aggregated, non-identifying query and impression data from Google Search Console.

We do not sell personal data and we do not run user accounts or newsletters for visitors of the public website.

3. Why we use it

• To operate, secure, and improve the website and its content.
• To measure which articles and pins are useful (aggregated analytics).
• To attribute affiliate referrals so that partner networks can credit qualifying purchases.
• To respond to your messages.

Legal bases under the GDPR: legitimate interest (site operation, security, aggregate analytics), consent (where cookies require it), and contract/pre-contract steps (responding to your request).

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies for site operation. Analytics and affiliate partners may set their own cookies when you click an outbound link. You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time; the site remains usable.

5. Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you click one and complete a purchase or signup, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Once you leave our site, the destination company's privacy policy applies. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

6. Pinterest integration

We use the Pinterest API to publish our own content (article title, description, image, and link) to Pinterest boards we own. This integration accesses only our own Pinterest business account. It does not collect, request, or store personal data of Pinterest users, and it does not read other users' boards, pins, or profile data. Pinterest's own Privacy Policy governs data processed by Pinterest.

7. Service providers

We rely on a small number of processors to run the site: hosting and database infrastructure, AI providers used for editorial drafting (which process article text, not visitor personal data), search analytics via Google Search Console, and Pinterest for content distribution. Processors act on our instructions and may process data outside the EU under standard contractual clauses.

8. Retention

Aggregated analytics are retained for up to 26 months. Emails you send us are retained as long as needed to handle your request and to comply with legal obligations.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing, and you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Write to hello@affiliatemarketinggirl.io and we will respond within 30 days.

10. Children

The website is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
