Back to Legal

Affiliate Marketing Advertisers - Version 1.3 of 06-11-2023

This is an additional agreement between Daisycon B.V. (CoC number 39073684, registered P.J. Oudweg 5, 1314 CH, Almere, The Netherlands) and their Advertisers and between Advertisers and the Publishers promoting Advertisers through Daisycon (version 1.3 as of 06-11-2023). For our Lead Generation services we have a seperate processor agreement, which is available in Dutch.

Taking into account that:

  • The advertiser has entered into an agreement with Daisycon by signing a contract (Network Agreement).
  • The Advertiser enters into an agreement with the Publisher at the moment that the publisher is accepted into the advertiser campaign (Affiliate Agreement).

This agreement contains provisions regarding the processing of data, to be qualified as a Processor Agreement as referred to in the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: GDPR). This page can be consulted at any time.

  1. In the context of the execution of the Agreement between the Advertiser and Daisycon, Daisycon may store and process data of transactions with the Advertiser (hereinafter: Transaction Data) of the Advertiser. The Parties agree that, in so far as Daisycon processes Transaction Data for the Advertiser, Daisycon can be regarded as the Data Processor within the meaning of the GDPR and the Advertiser as the Data Controller. The Publisher (s) who generated the Transaction for the Advertiser or contributed to it (if set up) will receive standard insight into basic, anonymous, information about the transaction, such as the Compensation paid for this. If the Publisher stores Transaction data, the Publisher can also be designated as a Data Processor. Daisycon and the Publisher will therefore only process Transaction data in the context of executing the Agreement with the Advertiser and on behalf of the Advertiser. The advertiser makes an effort to communicate/save as little as possible personal data on Daisycon but shares at least pseudonised Transaction ID’s. These Transaction ID’s are not shared with third parties. The purpose of the processing of Transaction ID’s is to identify and therefore enable validation of Transactions. If the Advertiser passes on personal data to Daisycon, the Advertiser must anonymize or pseudonymize the data as much as possible.
  2. In the context of the execution of the Agreement between the Advertiser and Daisycon, Daisycon can store and process data to match a click from the publisher to the Transaction of the Advertiser (hereinafter: Matching-data). The parties agree that, in so far as Daisycon processes matching data on behalf of the Advertiser, both Daisycon and the Advertiser can be regarded as the Data Controller in the sense of the GDPR. The advertiser determines the purpose of the data processing (to do performance based online marketing) It is also in control of whether or not to pass on the data (by calling the Conversion Pixel on its website). How the data processing is done and which resources are used are determined by Daisycon. Daisycon will therefore only process Matching data in the context of executing the Agreement with the Advertiser and on behalf of the Advertiser. The data is not used to create or use ‘behavioral’ customer profiles. Due to the limited privacy aspect and the fact that Daisycon needs this data for its services, Daisycon invokes Legitimate Interest within the GDPR on the basis of permission. As a result, Daisycon does not require explicit permission from the Consumer to perform the matching.
  3. In the context of the execution of the Agreement between Publisher and Advertiser, Advertiser can store and process data (in particular so-called ‘Prefilling’ data on the Advertiser’s website). The parties agree that insofar as the Advertiser and / or Daisycon processes data on behalf of Publisher, Advertiser and / or Daisycon can be regarded as the Data Processor in the sense of the GDPR and Publisher as the Data Controller. Advertiser and Daisycon will therefore only process data within the framework of the execution of the Agreement with Publisher and only if prior consent has been made regarding the data and how the permission for obtaining and sharing the data is guaranteed by Publisher.
  4. Depending on the settings that Advertiser establishes in his account and the information that the advertiser provides, the publisher (s) who have generated the transaction (s) will receive insight into more – not to be traced back to individuals – Transaction data. Advertiser is responsible for the data that is sent and the settings in his account with which data is shared with the Publisher (s).
  5. Publisher who are affiliated with the Campaign of the Advertiser at Daisycon must adhere to the agreements as laid down in the Standard Processor Agreement for Publishers as included in the General Publisher Terms and Conditions of Daisycon.
  6. Advertiser protects his passwords and takes full responsibility for his own account as well as the use by third parties of his accounts. Advertiser is responsible for all activities that take place under his Account, with the exception of the activities of Daisycon support staff as mentioned in this article. The Advertiser will inform Daisycon immediately after it has become known to the Advertiser of unauthorized use of the Advertiser’s account or any other breach of the security of which the Advertiser is aware. The support staff of Daisycon (or its 100% subsidiaries) may from time to time log in to the Service using the password of Advertiser (password is always hidden) to maintain or improve the Service, including to help Advertiser in case of problems or support.
  7. Daisycon is the Data Controller for the processing of personal data of the representatives and personnel of Advertiser. Daisycon shall process and share this personal data within the group company structure with other affiliated companies for the performance of the agreements with Advertiser and for administrative, financial and marketing purposes.

For every other data processing action, the affiliated company shall be the Data Processor on behalf of Daisycon. The legitimate interest of Daisycon and its affiliated companies serves as lawful basis for the transfer and processing of this personal data.

Of course you must comply with the agreements in the standard processor agreement.

Start standard text:

[NAME ADVERTISER] uses the performance based marketing service from Daisycon. Performance based marketing is a fair form of advertising because the advertiser only reimburses for actual and measurable results. In order to be able to compensate for this measurable result, a match must be made between the publisher / website that the visitor has forwarded and the transaction that has been generated by this.

To use this service, we pass anonymous transaction data to Daisycon. This data concerns; product descriptions, sales value, and demographic and geographical characteristics. These cannot be traced back to a person and are only used for statistical purposes and shared with Daisycon. In addition to the anonymous transaction data, we provide the following data that fall under the GDPR; 1) pseudonymized transaction IDs. These transaction IDs are not shared with third parties and only by our use for validation purposes. 2) Your IP address will also be passed on to Daisycon through the technical process. This address is only stored anonymously in the Daisycon system.

For the above service our partner Daisycon stores data and so-called affiliate cookies and matching processes are used. The use of affiliate cookies, matching data and the storage of data does not endanger the privacy of the visitor of this website. See the cookie and privacy statement of Daisycon about this.

No consumer profiles (behavioral user profiles) are created via the services provided by Daisycon. With regard to the data processing within the GDPR, we rely on the authorization basis for Legitimate Interest. We do however need to inform our visitors about the use. A processor agreement with Daisycon has been concluded for the storage and processing of these transaction data.

Additional text cross device matching (optional)

Daisycon offers its advertisers the possibility to cross-device a match between the click at the publisher and the transaction with the advertiser. If you use this option as an advertiser, you must add the text below to the standard text.

Add to “data covered by the GDPR”

(hashed) email address and / or pseudonymised account id. This data is not stored by Daisycon, but is directly converted into anonymous hashes. This information is not shared with third parties. This data is only used in the process of assigning transactions.

Exceptions

If you decide to still share personal data with Daisycon, then you must explicitly state in your privacy statement what information you share with Daisycon and what the purpose of this is.
