Lead Information Protection

When you submit lead information through the affiliate platform, you acknowledge that this information will be shared with TPC service providers for the purpose of service delivery.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your affiliate account remains active or as necessary to provide our Services. Financial records, including commission payments and tax information, are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws (typically 7 years).
