Link privacy

When you open a short link on this domain, the visit is recorded. Most links then send you on to the offer they lead to. Some first show a page with a profile's photo, name, a short bio and one button: opening the page is recorded as a visit, and the button takes you on to the site the page names, the tap recorded as a visit of its own. From a country the offer is not sold in, you see a page saying so instead, and the visit is not recorded. The links are run by DareBay (darebay.com) and hosted by Cloudflare.

What is recorded

For every visit, whether it opens a link, a page or a page's button:

• The link, the time, and a random id for the visit. When a link sends you straight on to an offer, the id is also passed to the offer's affiliate network. A page's button passes nothing to the site it opens: not the id, nor anything else recorded here.
• A keyed hash of your IP address instead of the address itself. Whoever holds the key could recover an IPv4 address by trying every possible one, so the hash is treated as personal data.
• Your approximate location, country and region, as Cloudflare estimates it from your IP address; your network provider; and the Cloudflare data center that served you.
• The type of device, browser and operating system, read from your browser's user agent. A hash of the user agent is kept, not its text.
• The host name of the page that sent you, and the request details that tell a visit from a link preview or preloading.

This domain sets no cookies.

Why

To send you to the version of the offer for your country, to count the visits each creator's link brings and see where they come from, to count how many of the people who open a page tap its button, to tell people from bots and link previews, to match sales reported by the affiliate network to the link and visit that led to them so the creator is credited, and to detect fraud.

How long

Visit records, the openings of a page included, are deleted after 120 days. A visit that led to a sale is kept with the record of that sale, which is kept as a financial record.

After you leave

The site you are sent on to receives your visit under its own privacy policy: the offer's affiliate network and store, or, after a page's button, the site the page names.
