1. Who We Are
Afflixor ("we", "us", or "our") is an affiliate product discovery platform that helps users find curated products across categories like electronics, apparel, beauty, and more. We operate at afflixor.vercel.app.
When you use Afflixor, we act as a data controller responsible for your personal information.
2. What Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
- Account information — your name, email address, and password when you register
- Profile updates — any changes you make to your account settings
- Reviews and ratings — content you submit about products
- Contact messages — anything you send us through our contact form
Information Collected Automatically
- Usage data — pages you visit, products you view, search queries, and time spent on the platform
- Interaction data — products you click, wishlist, or share
- Device information — browser type, operating system, and screen resolution
- IP address — used for security, fraud prevention, and approximate location

3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:

- Personalise recommendations — suggest products based on your browsing and interaction history
- Improve the platform — analyse usage patterns to improve our product discovery algorithm
- Send transactional emails — account registration confirmation, password resets, and important account notices
- Maintain security — detect and prevent fraudulent activity, abuse, or unauthorised access
- Comply with legal obligations — respond to lawful requests from authorities where required
We do not use your data for unsolicited marketing emails without your consent.
4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Retailers
Afflixor is an affiliate platform. When you click a product link:
- You are redirected to a third-party retailer (such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, or others)
- The retailer's own privacy policy applies to any data collected during your visit or purchase
- We may receive a commission if you make a purchase — this does not affect the price you pay
- We are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked retailers
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any retailer before making a purchase.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in these circumstances:
- Service providers — third-party services that help us operate (hosting, email delivery, analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
- Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public
- Business transfers — if Afflixor is acquired or merged, your data may transfer as part of that transaction. We will notify you before this happens.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Specifically:
- Account data — retained until you delete your account
- Interaction and view history — retained for up to 12 months to power recommendations
- Reviews — retained until you delete them or your account is closed
- Contact messages — retained for 6 months
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

- Correction — update inaccurate or incomplete data
- Deletion — request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")

8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data:
- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt — we never store plain-text passwords
- All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
- Access tokens expire and are rotated regularly
- Database access is restricted to authorised systems only
No system is perfectly secure. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by displaying a prominent notice on the platform. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
