1. About this policy
ASS – Affiliate Syndicates (“ASS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is operated by the legal operator identified above, which is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
This policy explains how we handle information when you browse the website, create an account, contribute content, purchase access, use Arcade features, apply as an author or affiliate, register for events, or communicate with us. The information processed depends on the features you use and which services are enabled.
2. Information we collect
Accounts and profiles. We process registration and account information such as your name, username, email address, password credentials, verification information, account status, and preferences. Optional profile details can include an avatar, cover image, biography, website, and social links. Details displayed publicly may be visible to visitors and search engines.
Third-party sign-in. If you choose an available external sign-in provider, we receive the information authorised through that provider, such as your provider account identifier, name, email address, and profile image.
Content and community activity. We process posts, uploaded media, comments, replies, reactions, poll participation, follows, reading-list entries, and reports you submit. Public contributions can be viewed, shared, copied, or indexed by others.
Author and affiliate participation. We process application information, portfolio or promotional links, experience, areas of expertise, correspondence, review decisions, permissions, and participation status. Where earnings are available, we also process earnings records, payout requests, payment details, and information needed for verification or accounting.
Purchases and memberships. We process billing information, order details, purchased items, selected plans, amounts, currencies, payment status, transaction references, invoices, and subscription dates. Payment providers handle payment information under their own notices. Do not send card details or payment credentials through comments or ordinary support messages.
Affiliate activity. When referral links are used, we may record a click identifier, offer and referral relationship, time, referring website hostname, and general browser or device category. Merchants and networks may report related conversion identifiers, status, amounts, currencies, and commissions. These records support attribution, payment calculations, reconciliation, and investigations into invalid activity.
Email and push notifications. We process email subscription status and preferences, delivery records, and, for browser notifications, your account association, selected categories, language, browser push address, and technical keys needed to deliver messages.
Events and enquiries. We process names, email addresses, account associations, registration answers, and messages submitted through event or contact forms. External registration providers handle information collected on their own websites under their own notices.
Technical information. Our infrastructure processes information needed to serve and protect the website, which may include IP addresses, browser details, request times, requested pages, session identifiers, and security or error logs. Internal pageview and author-reward functions also use derived visit identifiers to distinguish qualifying visits and detect duplicates. A hashed identifier is not necessarily anonymous.
3. Sources of information
We receive information directly from you, from your use of the service, from identity and payment providers you choose, from merchants and affiliate networks, from reports submitted by other users, and from public or syndicated sources relevant to publishing.
4. Purposes and legal bases
Where GDPR or similar legislation applies, we use the appropriate basis for each activity:
| Purpose | Applicable basis |
|---|---|
| Accounts, requested features, purchases, and subscriptions | Performance of a contract or steps requested before a contract |
| Author and affiliate applications and participation | Pre-contractual steps or performance of a contract |
| Validating earnings and administering payouts | Performance of a contract and applicable legal obligations |
| Marketing emails and promotional notifications | Consent, or another legally permitted basis where its conditions are met |
| Optional analytics, advertising, and non-essential device storage | Consent where required |
| Security, abuse prevention, moderation, reliability, and dispute handling | Legitimate interests, subject to applicable balancing and consent requirements; legal obligations where applicable |
| Tax, invoicing, and mandatory records | Legal obligation |
| Enquiries and support | Contractual necessity, pre-contractual steps, or legitimate interests, depending on the enquiry |
| Referral attribution and reconciliation | Contractual necessity for participating affiliates, legitimate interests where appropriate, and consent where tracking law requires it |
Our legitimate interests include operating a reliable service, protecting users and contributors, preventing fraud, and resolving disputes. We identify required fields when information is necessary for an account, purchase, or legal obligation. Without that information, we may be unable to provide the requested service.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies, local storage, and session information may support sign-in, security, preferences, community features, analytics, advertising, and referral attribution. Some technologies are necessary to provide requested functionality; others require consent under applicable law.
The inventory and preference instructions above identify the technologies actually used and your available choices. Browser settings can also restrict or delete stored information, although blocking necessary storage may prevent features from working. Permission for one optional feature does not automatically authorise unrelated tracking.
6. Arcade and external content
Games, thumbnails, videos, maps, and other resources may load from external providers. When a resource loads, its provider can receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details, and request information. The provider may use its own accounts, storage, analytics, or advertising.
The active-provider details above identify relevant services and privacy notices. Games may require a separate account, membership, or purchase. An ASS account or membership does not necessarily include a provider's premium access.
7. Advertising and referral links
We may display advertisements, sponsored material, and compensated referral links. Following an offer can disclose a referral identifier and technical information to the destination website and its partners. Their notices apply to their processing. Relevant providers and technologies are identified above.
8. Messages and your choices
Depending on your preferences and eligibility, messages may include editorial digests, affiliate opportunities, membership promotions, and service information.
Use the unsubscribe link to stop marketing emails, or contact our privacy contact. Browser and device permissions let you revoke push notifications; account settings may offer additional category controls. Necessary account, security, payment, or legal messages may continue.
Installing the website as an app is separate from granting permission for promotional notifications.
9. Recipients
Information may be disclosed as necessary to hosting, storage, delivery, security, email, push, payment, payout, identity, analytics, advertising, and embedded-content providers; merchants and affiliate networks; authorised participants receiving relevant referral reports; event organisers identified during registration; and professional advisers or authorities where appropriate.
Authorised personnel access information as needed for their responsibilities. Public submissions are available to the audience for which they are published.
If our business is sold or reorganised, relevant information may be disclosed to advisers and prospective or actual successors subject to applicable safeguards and notice requirements. The active-provider details above give further information about our current arrangements.
10. International processing
Providers may process information outside your country. The destinations and applicable transfer arrangements are stated above. Contact our privacy contact for information about safeguards and how to obtain a copy where available.
11. Retention and deletion
The retention schedule above forms part of this policy. We consider account activity, the purpose of collection, contractual commitments, legal obligations, security, and dispute requirements when setting retention periods.
Limited records may remain to honour an unsubscribe request, meet accounting requirements, or establish or defend claims. Account deletion does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every transaction record or public contribution. We assess requests under applicable law and explain relevant exceptions. Backup copies are handled under the stated backup schedule.
12. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing. You may object to direct marketing and withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Contact the privacy contact above to exercise your rights. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and respond within the legally required period. You may complain to the identified regulator or another authority available to you under applicable law.
13. Automated checks
We use automated functions for duplicate detection, referral matching, notification eligibility, and transaction processing. If a check affects your account, content, or earnings and you believe it is incorrect, contact us to request review. The details above explain any solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, where applicable.
14. Children
The minimum account age is identified above, subject to applicable law and feature-specific restrictions. We do not knowingly collect children's information where parental authorisation is legally required without that authorisation. Contact us if you believe information has been provided contrary to these requirements.
15. Security and updates
We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the information and risks involved. No transmission or storage system guarantees absolute security. Keep your credentials confidential and report suspected account compromise promptly.
We may update this policy as practices or services change. We update the date above and provide additional notice or request consent where required. Questions can be sent to the privacy contact or business address above.
