Section 4: Users

This section explains how CommerceCrafts.com operates through CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Sites, and how information about Users is obtained and used by CommerceCrafts.com.

What is CommerceCrafts.com?

CommerceCrafts.com offers a service to Publishers to help them earn an income and gain insights from their commerce-related content. The service works by creating/tagging links within content that a User is reading which, if clicked, takes the User to a Merchant website where the products and/or services can be purchased. If the User then buys something as a result of clicking on these links, the Publisher is paid a referral fee. This referral fee does not come out of Users’ pockets, nor does it affect the price Users pay or the experience Users have on the Merchant’s site.CommerceCrafts.com also offers Merchants and Advertisers a service that helps them to better understand and target Users’ behaviors, and to identify and work more effectively with Publishers and third parties on marketing campaigns.

What information does CommerceCrafts.com collect about Users through its technology and how does it use this information?

• We store Users’ IP addresses, from which we can determine a User’s provide aggregate reporting to Publishers, Merchants and Advertisers on the location of users visiting CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Sites. We also use IP addresses as part of our efforts to reduce fraud and identify non-human browsing patterns.
• We store information about the device that a User uses to access sites within our Publisher network, such as the browser type, browser version, and type of device. This helps us ensure we can diagnose and fix browser compatibility issues more swiftly, optimize our service to suit the preferred browsing environments, and provide aggregate reporting to Publishers, Merchants and Advertisers.
• We store non-identifiable information, using cookies and device identifiers, about the websites within our Publisher network that Users visit, which of our links Users click on, and whether Users make a purchase. This enables us to provide Users with relevant and useful links and advertising to products and/or services in which they are likely to be interested, and to Merchants and Advertisers from whom they are likely to want to buy.
• As part of the information available in standard web serving logs, we also store information about the referrer, i.e. the website page from which the User linked to the CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Site.
• To provide Publishers and Merchants with the Service, we collect information on visits and sales on CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Sites, including but not limited to order value, products bought, and order identifiers. These are used to help Publishers, Merchants and Advertisers make better marketing and content creation decisions.
• At no time do we know who a User is, nor do we make any attempt to try and identify a User.

We use cookies to collect the information we need to optimize the product/Merchant links we monetize/create, and improve the service we provide to Publishers, Merchants, Advertisers and Users. Cookies also enable us to carry out audience segmentation, i.e., we divide Users into groups based upon defined criteria such as product usage, demographics, communication behavior and media use. We synchronize cookie identifiers with third parties in order to enrich the Service and offer personalized experiences across the web. As you browse CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Sites, cookies will be placed on your Computer so that we can understand what you are interested in. These anonymous profiles allow for the customization of websites and targeting of content, including but not limited to advertising.

How can I disable CommerceCrafts.com cookies?

In order for referral fees and commissions to be paid by Merchants to Publishers, CommerceCrafts.com works with affiliate networks and other ad networks that manage the relationships between CommerceCrafts.com and the Merchants. As set out above, Users who receive CommerceCrafts.com cookies are also assigned a unique identifier number.

When a User clicks on a link created by a Tool, CommerceCrafts.com attaches the User’s unique identifier number so it passes to the appropriate affiliate network for the purpose of tracking whether that User makes a purchase on the Merchant website they visit. Note that at no time do we pass any Personal Information, nor make any attempt to determine the actual identity of an individual User; all information is completely anonymous and used only for the purposes of optimizing the service provided to the User. The affiliate and ad networks that work with CommerceCrafts.com also use their own cookies in order to track if a sale has occurred, as most of these parties will only pay Publishers when a referral has been successful, i.e. a sale was completed. We do not have control over or access to these cookies and they are dropped by the affiliate and ad networks via our CommerceCrafts.com Enabled Sites.

We retain Personal Information we collect from you for up to three years.
