Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Perqe ("we", "us") handles information when you visit perqe.com, use the Partner Portal, or interact with a Perqe Perks Engine on a Host Partner's website or app.

1. The short version

• We do not sell personal information.
• The Perks Engine does not build profiles of your customers or track them across the web.
• Attribution works through a business ID (SubID) on each link, not personal data.

2. Information we collect

From Host Partners:

• Account details: name, business name, email address and password (stored securely, hashed).
• Payout details: PayPal email or mailing address for checks, and tax information where required.
• Branding settings: colors, fonts, logo and custom copy for your Perks Engine.
• Messages you send us through the contact form.

From End Users interacting with the Perks Engine:

• Basic technical data needed to deliver and measure the Perks Engine: offer viewed or clicked, SubID, timestamp, approximate device type and browser.
• We do not ask End Users for names, emails or payment details. Any purchase happens on the Merchant's own site under their privacy policy.

From visitors to perqe.com: standard log data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed and referring URL.

3. Cookies and tracking

When an End User clicks an offer, the Merchant or its affiliate network may set a cookie to credit the referral to the correct SubID. These cookies are controlled by the Merchant or network. Our own site uses only cookies or local storage needed for sign-in and basic functionality. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

4. How we use information

• To operate the Perks Engine, display offers and attribute conversions.
• To calculate and pay commissions to Host Partners.
• To provide the Partner Portal and respond to inquiries.
• To prevent fraud, secure the Service and comply with legal obligations.
• To send service emails (account, password reset, payout notices).

5. How we share information

• Merchants and affiliate networks — receive the SubID and click data needed to credit a referral.
• Service providers — hosting, database, email and payment providers that process data on our behalf.
• Legal — when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers — in a merger or acquisition, subject to this policy.

6. Data retention

We keep Host Partner account and payout records for as long as your account is active and as required for accounting and tax purposes (typically up to 7 years). Click and conversion logs are kept as long as needed to reconcile commissions and prevent fraud.

7. Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls and hashed passwords to protect data. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep your login credentials private.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. We do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email us; we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

10. International users

Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate.

11. Changes

We may update this policy and will post the new date at the top. Material changes will be emailed to Host Partners.
