Affiliate payout processing and mandatory identity verification (KYC/AML) are handled securely through our integration with Stripe. Stripe collects your financial and identification data directly in accordance with its own privacy standards.

We collect personal and non-personal data for the following essential purposes:

• 3.1 To operate, maintain, and secure your free RODE LIFE user account.

4. HOW DO WE STORE, USE, SHARE, AND DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

However, the Member acknowledges that no method of online transmission or digital storage is completely immune to risks, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
• 4.2 Third Party Provider Transactions: The Company operates as a referral directory. When you purchase travel, concert tickets, or golf bookings, you are executing a transaction directly with a third party vendor. Your transaction data is governed by that vendor's privacy policy, and we assume no liability for their handling of your data.
• 4.3 Disclosures Required by Law and Security: We may share your information with law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or legal counsel if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when necessary to investigate platform fraud, enforce our agreements, or protect the safety of our users.

• 5.2 Consent to International Transfer: If you access our platform from outside the United States (including residents of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia), you explicitly acknowledge and agree that your personal data and multi-tier tracking strings will be transferred to, stored in, and processed within the United States. Data protection laws in the United States may differ from those in your home jurisdiction.
• 5.3 European (GDPR) and California (CCPA) Privacy Rights: Depending on your location, you may possess specific legal rights regarding your data, including the right to request access to your files, request a copy of your information, demand corrections to inaccurate data, or request permanent deletion.

If we discover that personal data has been accidentally gathered from an individual under the age of 18, we will deactivate the associated account and purge the matching data files from our system. If you believe a minor has registered an account, contact us at privacy@rodelife.com.

7. HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH SITE VISITORS?

• 7.1 We may communicate with you via your registered email address, phone notifications, or text messages for the following operational needs:
• (a) To manage account status or troubleshoot tracking dashboard issues;

8. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES AND TRACKING PIXELS?

• 8.1 Operational Necessity: We utilize cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels to remember your login state, customize your dashboard language, and ensure platform stability.
• 8.2 Mandatory Affiliate Attribution: Because the RODE MAP requires five levels of referral tracking, the use of performance cookies and affiliate pixel strings is operationally mandatory. These tracking tools monitor when a user clicks your referral tools or makes a purchase on a partner site, enabling accurate commission routing.
• 8.3 Tracking Management: You can choose to alter your browser cookie rules or reject tracking tools. However, disabling these tools will directly break referral attribution tracking and prevent you from earning commissions. Browser-specific settings can be adjusted through the official support pages for Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari.

9. HOW CAN SITE VISITORS WITHDRAW THEIR CONSENT?

• 9.1 If you choose to withdraw your consent for future data processing, you may make a request by contacting privacy@rodelife.com. Please note that withdrawing consent or requesting the total erasure of account data requires the closing of your free account and the immediate forfeiture of your position within the RODE MAP Referral Network.
