How we track and protect referral data
Referral Tracking Service Policy
Introduction:
At Tolt, Inc., we are committed to upholding the highest standards of data integrity and privacy. Our referral tracking service is designed to empower businesses by providing precise and valuable insights into their referral programs. This policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and protection of referral data.
Data Collection:
We collect referral data to help our clients understand the effectiveness of their marketing efforts and to reward their affiliates accurately. The data collected includes:
Clicks and impressions on referral links
- Tolt employs a CDN JavaScript script, Tolt.js, for seamless integration into your website. This script activates when a visitor accesses your site through a valid affiliate link, creating a unique click ID stored as a cookie specific to your domain. This ensures privacy, as the cookie is only accessible on your site, and we do not interact with other cookies.
tolt_referral = RANDOMLY_GENERATED_ID
Conversion tracking data from completed actions or sales
- Tolt captures event data via webhooks from third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee) for events linked to referred users who arrive through an affiliate link. This includes tracking payments, subscriptions, refunds, and more, which is essential for accurate commission calculation.
Data Retention for Referred Users:
Data from these webhook events, specifically related to referred users, is retained for a 7-day period for debugging and event tracking purposes, after which it is automatically deleted to uphold our commitment to data minimization and privacy.
Data Use:
The referral data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:
To calculate and track affiliate commissions
To analyze and report on the performance of referral campaigns
To enhance and optimize the referral programs of our clients
Data Protection:
We take the security of referral data seriously. To protect this data, we implement:
Encryption of data in transit and at rest
Regular security audits and monitoring
Access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can view sensitive data
Data Sharing:
Referral data is only shared with you as the admin and is never sold to third parties.
Affiliates have access to the referral email(redacted) and paid amount.
Changes to This Policy:
We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy, and we will take reasonable steps to inform users of any significant changes.

Conversion tracking data from completed actions or sales
- When utilizing Tolt's API, we empower you with full control over the event data you choose to send to us.
Unlike direct webhook integrations, we do not automatically capture data from third-party providers such as Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee. It is the responsibility of you, the admin, to send us relevant events such as subscriptions, cancellations, and other user activities essential for the operation of your affiliate program.
This approach gives you the flexibility to determine the extent and type of referral data you share. Instead of sending referral emails or other direct identifiers, you have the option to use anonymized IDs, ensuring user privacy and compliance with your data protection standards.
By handing the reins of data transmission to you, we ensure that Tolt's API usage aligns with your internal data governance policies and respects the privacy of your users, while still providing the robust functionality needed for accurate commission calculations and referral tracking.
Data Retention for Referred Users:
Data from these webhook events, specifically related to referred users, is retained for a 7-day period for debugging and event tracking purposes, after which it is automatically deleted to uphold our commitment to data minimization and privacy.
