6. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites

Some product links on VVoko are affiliate links. We may earn a commission when visitors follow these links and complete a qualifying action, such as purchasing a subscription.

Affiliate links may pass through a referral platform before reaching the product provider. Depending on the program and your privacy choices, that platform or provider may receive information such as your IP address, browser details, referral identifier, and the time of the click. Cookies or similar technologies may be used to attribute a subsequent purchase.

Product providers handle information submitted directly to them, including account details, billing information, and information generated through the use of their products.

Our articles may also contain links to social platforms and other external websites. When you use these links or sharing features, the destination service’s privacy policy applies to its processing of your information.

7. When We Disclose Information

We may disclose relevant personal information to:

  • Service providers: Organizations supporting website hosting, maintenance, security, communications, and other functions described in this policy.
  • Affiliate and measurement partners: Where necessary for the referral or measurement activities described above, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
  • Legal and professional recipients: Where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, protect rights, or obtain professional advice.
  • Business transaction participants: If information is involved in a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, or transfer of the website, subject to applicable safeguards.
  • Other recipients you authorize: When you specifically request or consent to a disclosure.

Some recipients act on our instructions, while others, including product providers and certain referral platforms, determine their own processing purposes.

8. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

In determining retention periods, we consider:

  • How long information is needed to respond to a request or resolve an issue.
  • Whether a comment remains published and relevant to its discussion.
  • Whether a subscription remains active.
  • The period needed to investigate security incidents or verify referral records.
  • Applicable legal, accounting, and dispute-resolution requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it. Limited information may be retained where necessary to record and respect an unsubscribe or other privacy request.

Personal information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, depending on where the website operator and its service providers are located.
