Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your information
1Who We Are
AI Affiliate Income ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at ai-affiliate-incomes.com. We publish guides, reviews, and recommendations about AI tools and affiliate marketing programmes.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and your rights under applicable data protection law including the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
2Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: This website contains affiliate links. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This is how we fund the site and keep our content free to access.
In compliance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) / Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) Code, we clearly disclose all material connections with brands and affiliate programmes. Affiliate links are identified throughout the site with disclosures such as "affiliate link", "we may earn a commission", or similar language.
We only recommend tools and services we have independently researched and believe provide genuine value to our readers. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions, star ratings, or rankings. We may receive compensation regardless of whether you ultimately purchase a product.
Specific programmes we participate in may include, but are not limited to: Jasper AI, Copy.ai, Writesonic, Surfer SEO, Midjourney, and other AI tool affiliate programmes. Each programme has its own terms and commission structure.
3Information We Collect
Account data: If you create an account, we collect your name and email address. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and never stored in plain text.
Usage data: With your consent, we collect anonymised information about how you use the site, including pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs, via Google Analytics 4. This data is used solely to improve our content.
Email subscriptions: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.
Dashboard data: If you use our earnings tracker or saved tools features, we store the data you enter (earnings figures, saved tool preferences) linked to your account.
4Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on this site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. Below is a summary of the types we use.
Essential cookies: Required for the site to function correctly — for example, keeping you logged in to your account and storing your cookie consent preference. These are set automatically and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Analytics cookies: With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised data about site usage (pages viewed, session duration, traffic sources). These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. GA4 data is processed by Google LLC under a Data Processing Agreement. You can opt out at any time via our cookie consent banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising cookies: With your consent, we use Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. AdSense may set cookies to personalise ads based on your browsing activity. You can manage your Google ad personalisation settings at adssettings.google.com.
Managing your consent: When you first visit the site, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. You can change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Third-party cookies: Affiliate links and embedded content from third parties (such as YouTube or social media platforms) may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy policies.

Right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten'): You have the right to request that we delete your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it — for example, if you withdraw consent or the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, or where we process your data for direct marketing purposes.
