Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 14, 2026
At Sites2Click.com, accessible from https://sites2click.com, protecting your privacy is a priority. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the measures we take to keep your data safe while you use our traffic exchange network.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal data necessary to deliver our services securely and efficiently:
- Non-Registered Surfers: No account or registration is required to participate in our traffic exchange. When submitting a website, we record your target website URL and your IP address to monitor system performance, prevent self-surfing, and enforce anti-bot safeguards.
- Registered Members (Optional): If you choose to register for an affiliate account, we collect your email address and an encrypted hash of your password. If you request affiliate commission payouts, we collect your PayPal email address.
- Advertisers: When purchasing premium priority placements, we collect your submitted website URL and PayPal payment confirmation data (such as transaction ID, purchase amount, and payer email address). We do not store financial account credentials on our servers.
- Automated Usage & Anti-Spam Data: To safeguard site integrity, our systems log IP addresses to enforce rate limits on logins, account registrations, surf session creation, and anti-bot verification checks.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly to operate and secure the platform:
- To display submitted websites within the surf rotation and manage traffic allocations.
- To prevent fraud, automated surfing bots, rapid refresh abuses, and self-referrals.
- To track affiliate commissions and process payouts via PayPal.
- To maintain member streaks, contest entries, and bonus view rewards.
- To send critical operational emails, such as password reset tokens or campaign management links.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Sites2Click uses lightweight functional cookies to enable platform features:
- Surf Progress Cookie (
s2c_session): Tracks your active surfing session progress across steps (valid for 6 hours).
- Referral Cookie (
s2c_ref): Remembers the affiliate link you used to visit us so commission credit is attributed correctly if you register or buy advertising (valid for 30 days).
We do not use invasive third-party cross-site advertising or tracking cookies.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only under the following operational circumstances:
- Payment Processing: Transactions for premium spots and affiliate payouts are securely processed through PayPal.
- Legal & Protection: We may disclose user data if required by law or if necessary to defend our network against security threats or abusive activity.
5. Data Retention & System Cleanup
We actively maintain a lean database architecture. Temporary surfing logs, expired session tokens, failed login attempt histories, and stale violation records are routinely purged via automated server maintenance tasks.
6. Security
We implement robust security controls across our infrastructure. Member passwords are hashed using strong standard algorithms and server-side rate-limiting actively protects against brute-force attacks.
