Though these tools are owned by third parties, we control who can access your data and we ensure that these service providers are adhering to high privacy and security standards.
We share your data within PartnerHero, with the teams that have a legitimate need to use it (e.g. marketing, business development, partner operations, etc.).

Policies. Our various policies surrounding data protection and information security define the requirements that our internal teams must follow when it comes to handling and securing your information. They cover people processes as well as IT-managed technical practices.
Training. In order to ensure that our policies are understood and applied correctly, we provide training on the data protection principles applicable to each team’s day-to-day operations.
Information Security Controls. Along with policies and training, we ensure that appropriate security controls are in place for access management, secure transfer and storage (including encryption), appropriate retention, monitoring, and vulnerability management, among others.
Accessing & Managing Your Data.
You have rights when it comes to accessing and managing your personal data. If you have a request surrounding access, correction, use restriction or deletion of your personal data, or have any questions in general on our data processing practices, reach out to us here.
We will respond as promptly as possible, and no later than 30 days after receiving your request.
Our Compliance Activities.
Here are the concepts and practices PartnerHero has in place for complying with applicable regulatory requirements surrounding your personal data.
Regular Review. We review this Privacy Policy and related privacy notices on a regular basis, and ensure that we are continuing to process your personal data in ways that are compliant with these principles.
One Privacy Standard. PartnerHero has offices and associates around the world, in countries with varying data protection laws. We anchor our privacy program in the standards defined by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Regardless of where your data is processed, we apply the same protections described in this Privacy Policy in all locations. We also comply with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of personal data, such as the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks.
Addressing Your Concerns. When we receive complaints or personal data requests, we respond first by contacting the individual making the complaint. We’ll do our best to work with the individual to resolve the complaint directly. If that’s not possible, we also work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve complaints.
Our Subprocessors.
PartnerHero utilizes third-party service providers to carry out some of the personal data processing that we do. These providers are our “subprocessors”. Each subprocessor maintains its own privacy policies and practices, but we ensure that those practices meet the same privacy standards we have in place at PartnerHero. A list of the subprocessors we currently use to process your personal data is below.
If you would like to be notified when a subprocessor is added or removed from this list, subscribe to our Privacy Notice updates.

Privacy Shield.
PartnerHero adheres to the principles of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield programs, which are designed to ensure that data transfers between these countries and the United States follow specific standards. Our participation can be verified on the Privacy Shield website.
We are committed to resolving any complaints we receive concerning our privacy practices. If you have a complaint, we encourage you to contact us here and we will work with you to resolve it.
We also work with local data protection authorities in the EU and Switzerland to resolve any privacy complaints we receive from individuals in these countries. Dispute resolution comes at no cost to individuals.
PartnerHero is also subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC. Depending on circumstances surrounding a privacy dispute, individuals may have the right to invoke binding arbitration through the FTC. We remain liable for personal data transfers made to our subprocessors or other third parties.
