What we record
For each click on a mintl.co link we store one record containing:
- A random click ID and the time of the click.
- The link ID and the account the link belongs to.
- Ad click identifiers added by Google Ads:
gclid,gbraid,wbraid. - Ad context: keyword, campaign ID, ad group ID, match type, device type, ad network, and an optional affiliate label.
- Your country, as determined by our hosting provider from your connection.
- A one-way hash of your IP address combined with a secret value. We never store the IP address itself.
- Your browser's user-agent string, shortened to at most 512 characters, and whether it looks like an automated crawler.
- The domain of the destination you were sent to.
We do not set cookies, run analytics or advertising scripts, or ask for your name, email or payment details.
Why we record it
- To measure ad clicks and attribute later conversions, such as a purchase, to the ad that led to them.
- To detect and prevent fraud, invalid traffic and abuse of our redirect service.
How long we keep it
Click records are deleted automatically after 120 days.
Who receives it
When an advertiser records a conversion, the related click identifier (gclid, gbraid or wbraid) and the conversion details may be uploaded to Google Ads for conversion measurement. Our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare, processes the data on our behalf. We do not sell click data.
Your rights
You can ask us to access or delete records about you. Because we only store a hash of your IP address, include the approximate time of the click and the link you followed so we can find the records. Email privacy@mintl.co. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.
