At Afferris, we understand the importance of protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle information when you visit or use our website and services. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so you understand our privacy practices.
Because Afferris is continually developing and online technologies change over time, we may update this Privacy Policy when necessary. Any significant changes to our privacy practices will be posted on this page so that you have an opportunity to review them. Afferris is not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of third-party websites that may be accessible through links on our website.
Legal Basis for Processing
We may process your Personal Information when we have a lawful basis to do so. This may include situations where you have provided your consent, where processing is necessary to provide products or services you have requested, where it supports our legitimate business relationship with you, or where it is necessary to help prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity.
Providing certain information may be necessary for us to deliver particular services or fulfill your requests. If you choose not to provide information that is required for a specific service, some features or services may not be available to you.
Personal Information
When you create an account or register for our services, we may collect information such as your name, email address, date of birth, gender, ZIP or postal code, occupation, industry, tax-related information, payment-account information, digital-wallet information, and personal interests.
Depending on the products or services you use, we may request additional information when necessary.
In most cases, information is collected directly from you. However, we may also receive information through service providers, agents, business partners, public records, or other legitimate sources.
When you browse our website, we may collect information about the pages you visit, links you interact with, retailers you view, and products or offers you explore. Visitors who browse our website without creating an account may not be required to provide personal information, although certain technical and activity-related information may still be collected to understand how the website is being used.
Use of Aggregate Data
Afferris may collect certain non-personally identifiable information to improve the performance and usability of our website. This information may include your browser type, operating system, IP address, device identifiers, session information, connected hardware, and the domain of your internet service provider.
We may use this information for internal purposes, including analyzing website performance, improving content, understanding visitor behavior, and enhancing our services.
Information may also be combined and analyzed in an aggregated or statistical format. Aggregated information does not generally identify individual users and may be used to improve our products, website, advertising, marketing activities, and overall customer experience. We may also share statistical or summarized information with business partners for legitimate marketing, advertising, or research purposes.
Location Information
Certain Afferris features, particularly mobile services or applications where applicable, may provide location-based functionality if you choose to enable it.
If you permit location access, information about your approximate geographic location may be used to provide offers, deals, or other content that may be relevant to your area.
You can generally control location permissions through your device or browser settings.
How We Use Information
Afferris may use information collected from you for several legitimate business and service-related purposes, including:
- Providing and maintaining our services
- Processing requests and transactions
- Performing administrative functions
- Communicating with you about your account
- Improving our website and services
- Managing promotions, contests, or similar activities
- Understanding customer preferences
- Sending relevant marketing communications
- Developing business and customer relationships
- Protecting our services against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized activity
We may occasionally contact you by email regarding new services, products, website features, promotions, or events that may be relevant to you.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails, you may use the unsubscribe option provided in our communications or contact us through the appropriate channels available on our website.
We do not intend to sell your email address to unrelated companies. Account credentials, including passwords, should always be kept confidential.
If our information practices change or we intend to use information for a materially different purpose, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide appropriate notice where required.
Affiliated Companies and Business Transfers
Afferris may share Personal Information with companies that are affiliated with us when necessary for legitimate business purposes.
In addition, if Afferris is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, business transfer, liquidation, or similar corporate transaction, information collected through our services may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Any such transfer will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
Cookies
Cookies are small data files that websites may place on your device to remember information and recognize returning visitors.
Afferris may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors use our services, remember preferences, measure performance, and improve our content and advertising.
Most modern browsers provide controls that allow you to accept, reject, or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some website features.
Some cookies may be necessary for account functions, transactions, personalized experiences, or other essential services.
Analytics, Targeting, and Tracking
Afferris and selected third-party partners may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with our services.
The information collected may include browsing activity, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, conversion information, and other technical or usage data.
Information collected from one browser or device may sometimes be associated with information from another device when those devices are reasonably connected or linked.
We may also work with advertising partners that use information about browsing activity to provide more relevant advertisements across websites, applications, or online platforms.
Some third-party retailers, advertisers, analytics providers, or service providers may place their own cookies or tracking technologies on your device. This Privacy Policy applies to Afferris’s practices and does not necessarily govern the independent privacy practices of those third parties.
Google Analytics
Afferris may use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor behavior. This service can help us analyze information such as the number of visitors, how visitors arrive at our website, general geographic information, how long visitors remain on our pages, and the types of devices, browsers, and operating systems used to access our services.
We use this information primarily to evaluate website performance, understand the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, and improve the overall user experience.
Where enabled, analytics and advertising features may include remarketing, demographic and interest reporting, and integration with advertising services.
Google may use cookies and other identifiers to provide these analytics and advertising functions. The information may be used to understand broad audience characteristics and interests rather than directly identify individual visitors.
For additional information about Google’s privacy practices and available controls, users should review Google’s current privacy documentation and settings.
Referral Programs
Afferris may offer referral features that allow users to invite other people to use our services.
If you participate in a referral program, we may request the email address of the person you refer so that we can send an invitation or other referral-related communication.
Any referral information collected for this purpose may be used to send the invitation and measure the effectiveness of the referral program. By providing another person’s information, you represent that you have a legitimate relationship with that individual and are authorized to provide their information for the stated purpose.
Confidentiality and Security
We take reasonable measures to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
Access to Personal Information is limited to employees, contractors, and service providers who reasonably need the information to perform their responsibilities or provide services.
We use appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect information collected through our website. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Rights Applicable to Certain Users
European Union Users
If you access Afferris from the European Union or another region with applicable data-protection laws, your Personal Information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your place of residence.
Where required, such transfers will be conducted using an appropriate lawful basis and applicable safeguards.
If we engage a third party to process Personal Information on our behalf, we expect that provider to process information only for authorized purposes and maintain appropriate protections consistent with applicable requirements.
Where applicable law provides such rights, you may have the ability to request access to your Personal Information, obtain a portable copy of certain information, correct inaccurate information, restrict certain processing activities, withdraw consent, or request deletion.
If processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent where permitted by applicable law.
You may also have the right to submit a complaint to the appropriate data-protection or supervisory authority in your country.

California residents may have specific privacy rights under applicable California law. Depending on the circumstances, these rights may include requesting information about the collection or disclosure of Personal Information, opting out of certain promotional communications, or requesting limitations on certain uses or disclosures.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided Personal Information to Afferris, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
