Privacy Policy
Affiliate disclosure. This website is operated by The Affiliate Way, SL, an independent affiliate marketer. It is not owned, operated or endorsed by EarnOS Ltd (the maker of the ero app) or by any brand mentioned. When you click a link or button on this site and then install an app, sign up or complete an action, we may receive a commission from the advertiser or an affiliate network. This costs you nothing and does not change the price or the rewards you receive.
1. Who we are
This website (the "Site") is operated by The Affiliate Way, SL, Madrid, Spain ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for personal data collected on the Site and through our ads and lead forms. Contact: privacy@theaffiliateway.com.
The app or offer you are sent to (for example ero by EarnOS Ltd) is run by a third party with its own privacy policy. We do not control how they process your data once you leave the Site.
2. What we collect
- Information you give us: when you fill in a lead form (including TikTok Instant Forms) or contact us, such as your name, email address, phone number and country.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser, language, approximate location (from IP), referring ad, pages viewed, clicks and timestamps.
- Advertising and tracking identifiers: click IDs and campaign parameters (for example ttclid, sub IDs and UTM tags), cookie and pixel identifiers, and conversion events reported back by advertisers or affiliate networks (for example an install or sign-up).
We do not knowingly collect sensitive data, and we do not ask for payment card details or passwords.
3. Why we use it (and our legal basis)
- To send you to the offer you asked for and to provide the information you requested (performance of a request / legitimate interests).
- To attribute conversions, pay and receive affiliate commissions, prevent fraud and measure our ads (legitimate interests).
- To send you offers and updates by email or SMS when you have agreed to receive them (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations (legal obligation).
4. Cookies, pixels and tracking
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies, including the TikTok Pixel and our click-tracking platform, to measure visits, attribute conversions and improve ad delivery. Where required by law we ask for your consent first. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and manage ad personalisation in your TikTok, Apple or Google settings.
5. Who we share it with
- Advertising platforms such as TikTok, to measure and optimise ads.
- Affiliate networks and advertisers whose offers you click, limited to what is needed to track the referral and pay commissions.
- Service providers that host the Site, track clicks and send emails or SMS on our behalf, under contract.
- Authorities when required by law.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Sharing identifiers with ad platforms for targeted advertising may count as "sharing" or "selling" under some US state laws; see section 9 to opt out.
6. International transfers
Some providers are located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
7. How long we keep it
Lead data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, and in any case no longer than 24 months after your last interaction. Click and conversion data is kept for up to 24 months for attribution, fraud prevention and accounting, unless the law requires longer.
8. Your rights (EEA and UK)
You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your data, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent at any time. Email privacy@theaffiliateway.com. You can also complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD, www.aepd.es) or your local authority.
9. Your rights (United States)
Depending on your state (for example California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut or Texas), you may have the right to know what personal information we hold, to delete or correct it, and to opt out of targeted advertising and the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. To exercise these rights, email privacy@theaffiliateway.com with the subject "Privacy request". We will not discriminate against you for using them. We honour Global Privacy Control signals where required.
10. Marketing messages
If you agreed to receive emails or texts, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, by replying STOP to any text, or by emailing us. Message and data rates may apply to SMS.
11. Children
The Site is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
13. Changes
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed.
