Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Encknet Network collects when you visit our website, apply to or use our network as a publisher or advertiser, or click on a tracking link we manage — and how we use and protect it.
01Who we are
Encknet Network (“Encknet Network”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates an affiliate marketing network that connects advertisers who promote products and services with publishers (affiliates) who drive traffic to them. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Registered address: [Registered business address].
02Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — name, email address, company name, website, phone number and messenger handles (e.g. Telegram or Skype) when you apply as a publisher or advertiser.
- Payment and tax details — bank, PayPal, Payoneer or crypto wallet details, billing address and tax forms needed to pay or invoice you.
- Traffic and campaign details — traffic sources, GEOs, verticals, budgets and other information about how you plan to work with us.
- Communications — messages you send to our support or account management teams.
Information collected automatically
- Tracking data — when a visitor clicks an affiliate link we record click and conversion events, which may include IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URL, approximate location, timestamps and click or transaction IDs.
- Website usage data — pages viewed and interactions on our website and partner dashboard, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Fraud-prevention signals — data used to detect bots, proxies, VPNs and other invalid traffic.
03How we use information
- To review applications and create and manage partner accounts.
- To track clicks, conversions and sales, and to attribute them to the correct publisher.
- To calculate commissions, process payouts and invoice advertisers.
- To detect, investigate and prevent fraud, abuse and violations of our Terms.
- To provide reporting, support and account management.
- To send service updates and, where permitted, marketing about new offers (you can opt out at any time).
- To comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations.
04Legal bases for processing
Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, we rely on: performance of a contract (running your account and paying you); legitimate interests (tracking, attribution, fraud prevention and improving our services); legal obligation (tax and accounting); and consent where required, for example for certain cookies or marketing emails.
07International transfers
We work with partners worldwide, so your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses for these transfers.
08Data retention
We keep account information for as long as your account is active and afterwards for as long as needed to meet legal, tax, accounting and dispute-resolution requirements. Raw click and tracking logs are kept only as long as needed for attribution, reporting and fraud prevention, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
09Security
We use technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate information or delete your information;
- object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent;
- receive a copy of your information in a portable format;
- opt out of marketing communications at any time;
- lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
California residents have the right to know, delete and correct personal information and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising as those terms are defined under California law.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
11Children
Our services are intended for businesses and individuals aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, notify partners by email or through the dashboard.
