Personal information

When visiting addrevenue.io as a non-logged in user, we don't collect any personal information. It is first if you create an account that we collect personal information. The very first data we will ask for and store is your email and name (company name for advertisers and full name for affiliates). Your email address will then be used to send you a magic link to login to the Addrevenue portal.

After logging in, in addition to name and email that has already been entered, what we will ask for and store differs a bit depending on your business type. For individuals we will ask for and store personal number/social security number, address, phone. For companies we will ask for and store organization number, name of contact person, address and phone. This informationen is necessary for the payout and payment process.

For Swedish affiliates acting as individuals we partner with Gigapay for payouts. When signing up with Gigapay, you agree to share your name, email address and phone with them. No information entered in Gigapay portal, such as bank account numbers or such as shared back to Addrevenue.

For company affiliates we ask for a payout method, such as bankgiro, plusgiro, bank transfer or for companies outside of Sweden IBAN and BIC. This information is store and is necessary for the payout process. 

As an advertiser you can pay by credit card or invoice. We partner with Stripe and by entering your credit card information we also share your email address and company name with Stripe. The credit card number is not stored, nor shared with Addrevenue. We only see the last 4 digits, that we display in the portal.

When tracking clicks and conversions, we do not store any personal information at all. We do not store IP addresses. If any our advertisers accidently send personal information in their request to us (such as an order ID containing an email address) we will immediately require this advertiser to fix their tracking code, and we will also delete the personal information from our database. We do not store any personal information when tracking clicks or conversions.

Collection process

We only collect data entered by yourself. We do not use any geolocation services or any other third-party services, for any purpose. Our vision is that no personal data should be collected and stored without your knowledge.

Usage

As mentioned above, most data we collect is necessary for the payout (affiliates) and payment (advertisers) process. But some data also can and will be used for other purposes, such as names and profile images of affiliates being displayed to advertisers, when applying to their advertiser programs. We always strive to disclose an absolute minimum of personal data to third-parties.
