What 9Q stores.

This notice covers 9q.is and affiliate.9q.is. They are the same application, split by hostname.

Clicks

When someone opens a short link we store the time, code, offer, click id, IP address, user agent, device and operating system read from that agent, referrer, and Accept-Language. Country and city are stored when the request already carries them, for example from a proxy geo header. We do not run a separate geo database in this version.

If the destination is an affiliate network, that network receives the streamer code, the brand, the placement, and our click id as query parameters. It does not receive the viewer’s account password, because viewers do not have accounts.

Affiliate accounts

Registration stores an email, a display name, a password hash, a public code, and a commission rate. Payout drafts store amounts owed. We do not ask for a government id or a bank account in this version.

How long

Click and conversion rows stay while they are needed to explain a payout or a reversal. You can ask for an affiliate account to be closed by writing to [email protected]. Closing an account does not rewrite historical click logs that no longer identify you beyond the public code.

Cookies

The affiliate host sets a sign-in cookie. The short-link host does not need one to redirect.
