Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ListReferrals operates a platform designed to help users share and discover referral benefits. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we manage that data, and your rights regarding your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that allows us to provide a secure and functional experience:

• Account Identifiers: Your email address and your chosen @IDName.
• Age Verification Data: Date of birth, gender, and ZIP code, collected when you submit a referral post and used to verify you meet our 18+ minimum age requirement. If you enter our Monthly Drawing, we also use your date of birth and ZIP code to check the drawing's eligibility rules (18+ and a US ZIP code).
• Monthly Drawing Data: If you enter the Monthly Drawing, we record your entry (your username, the drawing, when you entered, and the country your connection appears to come from, for fraud review). If you win, your username is shown publicly on the Giveaway page after you confirm your prize, and we use your account email to deliver the prize.
• Service Data: Referral links, brand details, and community interactions (such as Flowers).
• Technical Logs: IP addresses and diagnostic data used to prevent automated spam and secure the platform.
• Analytics & Advertising Data: If you accept optional cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Service and Google AdSense to display ads. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and general location, and may set their own cookies to personalize ads. You can decline these optional cookies at any time — see "Cookies and Security" below.
• Cookieless Site Statistics: We use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and page views. It identifies visits with a short-lived anonymous hash rather than cookies, does not track you across other websites, and runs regardless of your cookie banner choice. It records limited technical details, such as the page visited, the referring site, your approximate location, browser, and device type.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to facilitate the core features of ListReferrals, including the fair rotation of referral links and the maintenance of your public profile. We use your date of birth specifically to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement (18+) to share a referral post or enter the Monthly Drawing — we do not use it for any other purpose. We also use data to monitor for fraudulent posts, detect service issues, and respond to your support inquiries.

4. Data Sharing and Retention

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with essential service providers necessary for hosting, security, cookieless site statistics (Vercel Web Analytics), and — if you've opted into optional cookies — analytics and advertising. Specifically, if you accept optional cookies, we share limited technical data (such as your IP address and browsing activity on our site) with Google, for use in Google Analytics and Google AdSense, under Google's own privacy and data-use policies. This sharing is for service-operation and advertising purposes only; we do not sell this data or share it for any other party's independent marketing use. We retain your profile data for as long as your account remains active. If you request account deletion, we will remove or de-identify your records in accordance with our operational lifecycle.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Because we prioritize security, we verify all privacy requests by matching account details before taking action.

6. Cookies and Security

We use essential cookies to manage your login sessions and remember app preferences — these can't be disabled, since the Service can't function without them. We use optional cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense) only if you accept them via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can change this choice at any time using "Cookie Preferences" in the site footer, which lets you accept or reject optional cookies without affecting your account or essential site functionality. Separately, our cookieless site statistics (Vercel Web Analytics) do not set cookies, so they run regardless of this choice. We utilize administrative and technical safeguards, including encryption, to protect your personal information at rest and during transit.
