Affiliate Tracking

Some links on Mums Make Money are affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or another tracking method to record that you were referred by Mums Make Money.

This allows the retailer or affiliate network to attribute a qualifying purchase or other action to us so that we may receive a commission.

Affiliate tracking does not normally increase the price you pay.

Those companies operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

When required by law, we will ask for your permission before using cookies or similar technologies that require consent.

You can use the cookie preferences or consent tool displayed on the website to manage your choices where available.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

8. Affiliate Links

Mums Make Money contains affiliate links.

This means that if you click a link and subsequently make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, we may receive a commission or referral fee.

Affiliate partners may receive technical information required to track the referral.

Affiliate programmes and retailers are responsible for their own handling of personal information once you visit their websites.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

Affiliate relationships do not give us permission to access your account, payment information or other personal details held by the retailer unless this is specifically disclosed.

9. Amazon Associates

Amazon is responsible for the personal information it collects when you visit or purchase from its websites.

10. Advertising

We may display advertising from third-party advertising companies.

Advertising providers may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to collect information about visits to this and other websites.

Depending on your cookie preferences and applicable law, this information may be used for purposes such as:

  • displaying advertisements;
  • measuring advertising performance;
  • limiting how often an advertisement appears;
  • detecting fraudulent advertising activity; and
  • personalising advertising.

Where consent is legally required for advertising cookies or similar technologies, those technologies will only be used in accordance with your choices.

If we introduce or change advertising providers, this policy and our cookie information may be updated accordingly.

If you enter, we may collect information such as your name, email address and other information required to administer the competition.

If a prize is supplied or dispatched by a third party, we may need to share the winner’s contact or delivery details with that company.

We will tell you where this applies.

Competition entries will not automatically be added to our marketing mailing list unless you have separately agreed to receive marketing.

Some of the companies we use to operate Mums Make Money may be located outside the United Kingdom or may process information using servers outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism is in place where required.

Depending on the destination and service provider, this may include UK adequacy regulations or other appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.

18. How Long We Keep Your Information

We may retain information for longer where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

19. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • loss;
  • misuse;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure; and
  • destruction.

Measures may include secure website hosting, encryption, password protection, website security software, access controls and keeping software up to date.

However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should also take appropriate precautions when providing information online.

Access Your Information

You may ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

In certain circumstances, you may ask us to restrict how we use your information.

Data Portability

Where applicable, you may have the right to receive certain personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or ask for it to be transferred to another organisation.

Object to Processing

You may have the right to object to certain uses of your personal information, including certain processing based on legitimate interests and direct marketing.
