Cookies & Similar Technologies

First Choice Affiliate may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to support website functionality, account access, security, preferences, analytics and affiliate attribution.

Your browser may allow you to block or remove certain cookies. Disabling technologies required for core functionality may affect website or account operation.

Campaign & Referral Information

Affiliate programme activity may involve referral links, tracking identifiers, cookies, postbacks and similar attribution technologies.

These technologies may be used to associate qualifying activity with a partner account and support campaign reporting.

Tracking information may include campaign identifiers, referral sources, clicks, registrations, qualifying actions and other information relevant to attribution.

Tracking methods and attribution periods may vary between campaigns and technical platforms.

When Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary to operate the website, administer programme services, process eligible payments or meet applicable obligations.

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.

• Payment or financial service providers where required.
• Professional advisers.

• Relevant parties in connection with a restructuring, acquisition or similar business transaction.

Service providers should process information only for legitimate purposes and subject to appropriate privacy and security requirements.

Processing Across Borders

Programme operations may involve infrastructure, technology providers or other service providers located in different countries.

Information may therefore be processed outside the country where it was originally collected.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, appropriate mechanisms should be used for the relevant processing activity.

How Long Information May Be Kept

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods may depend on factors such as partner account status, programme activity, financial records, fraud prevention, disputes and applicable contractual or legal requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

Protecting Your Information

Reasonable technical and organisational measures may be used to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No website, internet transmission or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable privacy law, you may have certain rights relating to personal information associated with you.

1. Request access to eligible personal information.
2. Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
3. Request deletion where the relevant right applies.
4. Request restriction of certain processing.
5. Object to certain processing activities.
6. Request data portability where applicable.
7. Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
8. Contact an appropriate supervisory authority where applicable law provides that right.

Requests may be subject to identity verification, legal exceptions and applicable record-keeping requirements.

Programme & Marketing Messages

First Choice Affiliate may communicate with applicants and approved partners about account activity, campaign opportunities, programme administration, technical matters and other relevant partnership information.

Where marketing consent is required by applicable law, promotional communications should only be sent in accordance with those requirements.

Certain operational or account-related messages may still be necessary even where promotional communications are no longer wanted.

Children & Age Restrictions

First Choice Affiliate is intended for adults participating in professional affiliate, advertising, marketing or related commercial activities.

The programme is not intended for children or persons who are not legally permitted to participate in the relevant commercial activity.

First Choice Affiliate does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

External Websites & Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, advertisers or other services.

Independent third parties operate under their own terms, privacy notices and technical practices.

First Choice Affiliate does not control how information submitted directly to an independent third party is processed. You should review the relevant third-party privacy information before providing personal information to an external service.
