1. Information We Collect
Partner account information. When you apply and use the portal we collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, password (hashed), and profile photo.
Payout information. To pay commissions we collect your chosen payout method and its details — such as your PayPal email, Cash App tag, Zelle contact, or ACH bank account and routing numbers. Bank details are stored only in encrypted form.
Referral and lead data. When visitors use your tracking link or submit a form on a tracked page, we may collect the lead's name, email address, phone number, lead source, referring URL, timestamps, and a hashed event fingerprint used for de-duplication.
Usage and technical data. We collect portal sign-in events, notification preferences, click and conversion statistics for your tracking links, IP addresses, browser and device information, and webhook event logs used to operate and audit the Program.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To create, verify, and manage your partner account, including application review and approval.
- To attribute referrals to you under our 365-day first-affiliate attribution model and calculate your commissions.
- To process and record payouts to your chosen payout method.
- To send you transactional emails (welcome, email verification, new lead, sale, payout, and account notices). You may adjust optional notifications in your settings.
- To operate the in-portal notification system and display your performance analytics.
- To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, duplicate events, and violations of the Program Terms.
- To comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information or your referrals' personal information to anyone.
3. Tracking Technologies
The Program uses a lightweight tracking script and server-to-server webhooks to record clicks, leads, and sales generated through partner links. These mechanisms use referral identifiers and hashed fingerprints to attribute events accurately and prevent duplicates. Visitors' browser settings (including cookie blocking) may affect attribution, as described in our Terms.
5. Referral & Lead Data Shared With Partners
Partners can view and export the contact details (name, email, phone) of leads attributed to their own referral link. By participating in the Program, you agree to use lead data only to follow up with those individuals about Dispute Lion's services, to comply with all applicable marketing and privacy laws (including CAN-SPAM and TCPA), and not to sell, rent, or share lead data with third parties.
6. Data Security
- All traffic to the portal is encrypted in transit with TLS (256-bit SSL).
- Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
- Bank account details are stored encrypted and are never displayed in full after entry.
- Database access is enforced through row-level security so partners can only see their own data.
- Access to administrative functions is restricted to authorized personnel.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we maintain commercially reasonable safeguards and review them regularly.
7. Data Retention
We retain partner account, commission, and payout records for as long as your account is active and thereafter as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes. Webhook event logs are retained for auditing and reconciliation. When data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymized.
8. Your Rights & Choices
- Access and update your profile and payout information at any time in your portal settings.
- Manage optional email notifications from your settings; transactional emails (verification, payout confirmations) are required to operate your account.
- Request a copy, correction, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us (subject to legal retention requirements).
- Close your account at any time; earned, eligible commissions will be paid per the Program Terms.
Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
9. Children's Privacy
The Program is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and applicants must be 18 or older to participate.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced through the partner portal or by email, and the "Last updated" date will be revised. Continued use of the Program after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
