Privacy overview

Public crawler observations

AffiliateLinksManager records information that its crawler can observe on publicly accessible websites, including technologies, affiliate or advertising fingerprints, commercial destinations, linked social profiles and monetization-related signals. Public audit pages should not expose private account data.

Accounts & ownership

Registered account data such as email addresses, password hashes, ownership-verification tokens and owner-only insights are kept separate from the public audit dataset.

Outbound click analytics

Links from AffiliateLinksManager to external websites are instrumented so the service can measure which audited websites, marketplace listings and partner or affiliate-program destinations are useful to visitors. The event can include the destination URL and host, source page, link category, visible link text, and—when the visitor is signed in—the account ID.

For anonymous visitors the implementation stores a one-way hash of the current PHP session identifier for basic rate limiting and aggregate session analysis; it does not store the raw session identifier in the click table.

Production notice

Before public commercial launch, replace this development overview with counsel-reviewed privacy, retention, lawful-basis, cookie/ePrivacy, objection/correction and deletion terms appropriate to the operating entity and markets.
