What Referral Market collects, why, and how to have it removed.

What we collect

When you sign in with Google, Google tells us your name, your email address, and an account number that identifies you to this site. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not ask for access to your mail, contacts, or files.

When you list a business or apply as a connector, we keep what you enter: your name, email address, business or company name, city and state, your category or role, what you want to count as a referral, and any fee you mention.

We keep the time you last signed in and the time you accepted the rules on an application.

When a business posts a listing, we keep its terms. When a connector creates a pass, we keep the listing, the time, the connector, and later the business's answer: confirmed or declined, the fee, and any sale amount the business enters.

When a business adds someone to its staff list, we keep that person's email address and any name the owner enters for them, and for each pass the business answers we keep which account answered it.

A business can give a connector's code a name of its own, so it can tell its connectors apart. We keep that name.

When you write to us through the contact page, we keep your name, email address, and message.

If you arrived from a link we sent you, we also keep the reference code in that link.

Customers who are given a pass

A pass does not ask for your name, phone number, or email, and we do not keep any. We record the time the pass link is first opened.

Who sees what

A business sees the connector code on each pass created for it, and what that connector's passes for it came to. It does not see the connector's name or email address. A name the business gives a code is seen by that business and its staff only, never by the connector or by other businesses.

The owner of a business and its staff see who answered each pass, by the name the owner entered or else by email address, so the business can tell who did what.

A connector sees a business's name, category, city, and listing terms. For each of their own passes they see when the link was first opened, whether it was confirmed or declined, and the fee recorded. Where the fee is a share of a sale, the fee shows the size of that sale.

Cookies

Signing in sets one cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, or until you sign out. A second, short-lived cookie is used only while Google is confirming who you are.

The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Your Night view choice is saved in your own browser. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses.

How it is used

We use it to review businesses and connectors, to run listings and passes, to keep the record of each referral, to work out what is billed and paid each week, and to contact you about your account.

New applications and contact messages are also emailed to Referral Market's own mailbox, so they are seen promptly.

We send email only about your own account: that an application was approved, that a business answered one of your passes, or that a business added you to its staff. We do not send marketing email.

It is not sold. It is stored with the company that hosts this site, with a daily backup copy kept in Referral Market's own Google Drive, and is read only by Referral Market.

Seeing or removing it

Email referralmarket.site@gmail.com to see, correct, or delete what we hold about you.

When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your sign-in and every application that has no pass recorded against it. Where passes exist, the record of those passes is kept, with your name, email address, and notes removed from it.

A deleted record leaves our backup copies within 30 days.
