Log Files: Log files are used to track and monitor user activity on the Website.

Beacons: AffiliateNetwork.com’s mailings contain web beacons, or a piece of computer programming code that is used to associate a user's interaction with our mailings, in order to tailor future campaigns to the user’s preferences. A web beacon is a small image that, when loaded, updates our database records.

No information should be submitted to, or posted at, the Website by visitors under eighteen (18) years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children.

Third Party Entities

AffiliateNetwork.com does not endorse, nor is AffiliateNetwork.com responsible for the accuracy of, the privacy policies, terms and conditions, content and/or practices of any of the advertisers, third party sellers or external websites linked to and/or featured on the Website. The entities that advertise and place banner ads on the Website are independent third parties and are not affiliated with AffiliateNetwork.com. We encourage all users to review the privacy policy of any website that they visit via the Website, our emails or otherwise.

Opt-Out/Unsubscribe
Users may receive e-mail confirming their registration for applicable Services and/or Sweepstakes, as well as promotional marketing of commercial products and services. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please let us know by universally unsubscribing from AffiliateNetwork.com’s communications at http://www.affiliatenetwork.com/unsubscribe.php. Users may also unsubscribe from receiving our electronic mailings at any time by following the instructions contained within such email messages, or by unsubscribing via the Website. AffiliateNetwork.com’s unsubscribe process impacts only the future delivery of electronic mailings disseminated by AffiliateNetwork.com on its own behalf. Users that have unsubscribed from receiving mailings from AffiliateNetwork.com may still receive electronic mailings sent on behalf of third-parties and their personal information may still be shared with third parties for use in offline marketing. AffiliateNetwork.com users should also note that unsubscribing from our electronic mailings will not automatically unsubscribe the user from any third-party licensees’ email lists. If e-mail recipients wish to end their e-mail subscription from a particular list, they need to follow the instructions at the end of each e-mail message to unsubscribe from the particular list. This allows the end-user the freedom to pick and choose which subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.

Currently, AffiliateNetwork.com does not offer users a means by which to completely delete personal information from our databases. Instead, subscription status can be set to "unsubscribed" to suppress inclusion from future AffiliateNetwork.com electronic mailings.

Security

All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. When our registration/application process asks users to enter sensitive information (such as Social Security Number and bank account information), and when we store and transmit such sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we employ reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Access to this information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personal information. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures. If you have any questions about security on our Website, you can email us at support@affiliatenetwork.com.
