Affiliate Program Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 7/16/26

By signing up to a Snogo Affiliate, you are agreeing to this privacy policy.

This Snogo Stars Affiliate Program Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) explains how Snogo, LLC, doing business as Snogo (“Snogo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and retains personal information in connection with the Snogo Stars Affiliate Program (“Program”).

This Privacy Notice applies to:

• People who apply to become Snogo affiliates.
• Approved and former Snogo affiliates.
• Individuals who communicate with Snogo about the Program.
• Referral and purchase activity associated with affiliate links and coupon codes.

This Privacy Notice supplements Snogo’s general website privacy policy. When this Privacy Notice and the general website privacy policy both apply, this Privacy Notice governs personal information processed specifically for the Program.

By applying to or participating in the Program, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Snogo and its service providers use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, referral identifiers, and similar technologies to operate and administer the Program.

These technologies may be used to:

• Recognize affiliate referrals.

A cookie is a small data file stored on a device or browser. Some cookies are necessary to operate website and affiliate-tracking functions. Other technologies may be subject to consent or opt-out requirements depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law.

The duration of an affiliate tracking cookie is provided through the affiliate dashboard or Program registration information.

Customers and affiliates may be able to control cookies through:

• Browser settings.
• Device settings.
• Snogo’s cookie banner or privacy controls.
• Other legally required opt-out mechanisms.

Blocking, rejecting, or deleting cookies may prevent Snogo from attributing a purchase to an affiliate link. A customer may still be able to use an eligible affiliate coupon code, subject to the Program’s attribution rules.

Information about cookies used more broadly on the Snogo website is available in Snogo’s general privacy policy and cookie settings.
