Soicos Consumers

How do we use end-user data?

Soicos primarily uses a user's data in order to track him from when he interacts with an affiliate's advertising to when he reaches the advertiser's website. Tracking allows Soicos to see that an end user has visited an affiliate's service, found a product, and clicked the link to access the advertiser's service to review or purchase the product or any other event of interest that advertiser rewards. with a commission.

The purpose of tracking is to attribute an affiliate's sales and marketing effort to a particular transaction, to allow advertisers to reward affiliates per transaction. Tracking also enables Soicos to provide affiliates and advertisers with related reports. Most of these reports contain only aggregated statistical data.

Soicos does not know who the end user is, simply that the end user himself started his journey with the affiliate and completed it with the advertiser and that therefore the affiliate marketing campaign was successful with respect to that end user.

How do we collect data from end users?

The main technologies used for Soicos tracking are domain tracking cookies, RT pixels.

Soicos domain tracking cookies: These are cookies served by the Soicos domain itself when an end user clicks on an advertisement displayed by an affiliate. We use this information to understand which end users are referred by which affiliates to which Advertiser.

What data do we collect from end users?

We take care not to collect data that we do not need. Most of the data that Soicos uses is generated by machines. It allows us to identify a person, but does not reveal who that person is. We do not use this data to make predictions or assessments of the interests or personalities of users.

Soicos is a part of the affiliate marketing ecosystem and does not always have absolute control over the personal data it receives from users, affiliates or advertisers.

Soicos stores an individual sequence of figures regarding a transaction that does not reveal the name of a particular end user and contains information about the advertiser's campaign, the affiliate, the end user action (i.e. a click or view and in which country it occurred) and the device being used.

Soicos data processing activities related to end user data do not require direct identification of an individual and therefore Soicos primarily owns what is known as "pseudonymous" data in this regard. Pseudonymisation improves privacy. It is the separation of data from direct identifiers so that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual without the use of additional information. Pseudonymisation, therefore, reduces the risks associated with data processing, while maintaining the usefulness of the data.

Does Soicos have a legitimate interest in the use of data?

We have done a balancing act and have identified legitimate interests as the basis for processing user data for the purposes set out in this section of the Privacy Policy.

When evaluating the legitimate interest of Soicos, the interests of the entire affiliate ecosystem were considered. A balance test was carried out and it was confirmed that the trace carries no risk or a very low risk of undue negative impact on the interests of the end user or fundamental rights and freedoms. Legitimate interests are not limited to the interests of Soicos, but may be legitimate interests of a third party or of society as a whole. In the context of our service, we consider that:

Advertisers have an interest in running an online, paid-for-performance advertising campaign, whereby external referrals from advertiser customers or potential customers are compensated for referrals that generate income for the advertiser or otherwise make act desired by the advertiser.
Affiliates have an interest in monetizing their content, services, or other aspects of the affiliate's website by generating advertising revenue that is paid based on performance.
Advertisers and affiliates have an interest in obtaining reports relevant to the revenue generation of their respective business.
Soicos has an interest in operating an affiliate marketing platform and providing technology, services and reports in exchange for payment from advertisers.
Soicos, advertisers, affiliates and society in general have an interest in preventing fraud, misuse of services or money laundering.

What is our agreement with the affiliates and advertisers of our network?

Soicos affiliate marketing platform connects advertisers and affiliates so they can work together to run affiliate marketing campaigns.

In carrying out the campaign, each party plays its role in pursuit of common purposes and each party can make certain decisions about how the data is used.

Soicos contractually requires that its entire network comply with the data protection law and that each of them comply with its obligations to respond to requests to exercise the rights of the interested party. You can address each of the parties, if you intend to exercise your rights with respect to the data that party controls.

Soicos works with these advertisers. For guidance on how to apply to an affiliate or advertiser, please see their respective privacy notices. For more information on how to make a request to Soicos, see "What rights do you have with respect to user data?" Then.

How long do we keep end user data?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

As a general rule, Soicos keeps tracking data for months after collection.

What rights do you have with respect to user data?

We will honor your rights under applicable data protection laws. These rights are not absolute and do not always apply in all cases. If you would like to make a request regarding your user data, as described in this section of the Privacy Policy, please contact info@soicos.com

You may:

request access to your information and information related to our use and processing of your information;
request the correction or deletion of your information;
request that we restrict our use of your information;
request a machine-readable copy of your information or have your information transferred to other IT systems;
object to the processing of your information with certainty;
withdraw your consent for us to use your information at any time that we rely on your consent to use or process that information.

Please note that, as described in "What data do we collect from users?", Soicos primarily has what is known as "pseudonymous" data regarding users. Pseudonymisation means that we may not be in a position to identify the person behind the data we hold and that we are therefore unable to provide them with data access, rectification, erasure or portability without supplying additional information.

How do we use data to run our business?

Who do we share your information with?

How do we keep your data safe?

We will take all reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss of misuse or alteration of your personal information.

Please note that while we strive to provide security for the information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
