Tilleybilleys Growth Academy Affiliate Privacy Notice
Last updated: August 2026
This Affiliate Privacy Notice explains how Tilleybilleys Growth Academy Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects and uses personal information in connection with the Tilleybilleys Growth Academy Affiliate Programme.
We are responsible for determining how personal information we collect for the operation of our Affiliate Programme is used where we act as the data controller.
We use third-party service providers, including affiliate technology providers, to help operate the programme. Those providers may process information on our behalf and may also have their own responsibilities under applicable data protection law.
1. Information We May Collect
When you apply for or participate in our Affiliate Programme, we may collect information including:
- your first and last name;
- email address;
- country;
- social media account information;
- affiliate account details;
- referral links or codes;
- referral and conversion information;
- commission information;
- payment information;
- correspondence with us;
- information supplied in your affiliate application; and
- information reasonably required to administer the Affiliate Programme.
We do not intentionally request special category personal data as part of the standard affiliate application process.
2. Referral and Customer Information
When customers interact with affiliate links or make eligible purchases, our affiliate technology may process information required to attribute the referral.
This may include information such as:
- referral identifiers;
- order identifiers;
- order value;
- products purchased;
- referral source;
- transaction status;
- commission information; and
- cookie or similar tracking information.
We do not provide Affiliates with unrestricted access to customers' personal information merely because they referred a customer.
3. Why We Use Personal Information
We may process personal information to:
- review affiliate applications;
- create and administer affiliate accounts;
- operate the Affiliate Programme;
- attribute eligible referrals;
- calculate and verify commissions;
- process commission payments;
- prevent fraud and misuse;
- communicate with Affiliates about the programme;
- provide affiliate support;
- maintain financial and business records;
- comply with legal and regulatory requirements;
- protect our legal rights; and
- improve the operation of the Affiliate Programme.
4. Our Lawful Bases
Depending on the particular processing activity, we may rely on:
Contract — where processing is necessary to enter into or perform our agreement with an Affiliate.
Legal obligation — where we need to process information to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligations.
Legitimate interests — where necessary for legitimate business purposes such as administering and protecting the Affiliate Programme, preventing fraud, maintaining appropriate records and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of individuals.
Consent — where consent is specifically required or is the appropriate lawful basis. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it subject to applicable law.
5. Affiliate Tracking and Cookies
Our Affiliate Programme may use cookies or similar technologies to help identify referrals and attribute eligible transactions to Affiliates.
The standard affiliate attribution period is currently 100 days, although the operation of tracking may depend on the user's browser, device, privacy choices and cookie settings.
Information about cookies and similar technologies used on our website should also be provided through our website cookie information and consent controls where required.
Users may be able to reject or manage non-essential cookies through the controls made available on our website or through their browser settings.
Rejecting or deleting tracking technologies may prevent an affiliate referral from being attributed correctly.
6. Who We Share Information With
We may share personal information where necessary with service providers that help us operate our business and Affiliate Programme, including providers of:
- affiliate tracking technology;
- website and ecommerce services;
- payment processing;
- email and communications;
- accounting and financial administration;
- IT and hosting services;
- fraud prevention; and
- professional legal, accounting or compliance services.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We require service providers handling personal information on our behalf to handle that information appropriately and in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.
7. UpPromote
We currently use UpPromote technology to assist with the operation of our Affiliate Programme.
UpPromote may process information relating to affiliate accounts, referral activity, transactions and other information required to provide affiliate tracking and administration services.
The precise role and responsibilities of each party in relation to personal information may depend on the particular processing activity and the contractual arrangements in place.
8. International Transfers
Some of the service providers we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where a restricted international transfer takes place, we will take steps required by applicable UK data protection law, which may include relying on applicable adequacy regulations or appropriate contractual or other safeguards.
Information about relevant safeguards can be requested using the contact details below.
9. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to administer the Affiliate Programme and satisfy applicable legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention and dispute-resolution requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it appropriately, subject to applicable legal obligations.
10. Security
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse.
No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights including:
- the right to be informed about how your information is used;
- the right to access your personal information;
- the right to have inaccurate information corrected;
- the right to request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances;
- the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
- the right to data portability where applicable;
- the right to object to certain processing; and
- rights relating to certain automated decision-making where applicable.
Where processing is based on consent, you also have the right to withdraw that consent.
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and lawful basis relied upon.
12. Direct Marketing
Where we send electronic direct marketing, we will do so in accordance with applicable data protection and electronic marketing requirements.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe method provided or by contacting us.
Operational communications necessary to administer your Affiliate Programme account may still be sent where appropriate.
13. Complaints
If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate.
You may also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our Affiliate Programme, service providers, technology, legal requirements or data-processing practices.
The current version will be made available through the Affiliate Programme or our website.
