01
Who we are
Alion provides software and infrastructure for affiliate and performance marketing. We are a company registered in Saint Lucia. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Alion. "You" means the person whose personal data we handle.
For the personal data described in this policy, we are the data controller. This means we decide why and how the data is used, and we are responsible for it.
You can contact us about privacy at any time at [email protected].
02
Which laws apply
We follow the Data Protection Act of Saint Lucia (Cap. 6.07).
Where they apply to you, we also follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the "EU GDPR") and its United Kingdom version (the "UK GDPR"). These usually apply if you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom.
03
Our role for lead data
Our customers use Alion to receive, route and manage leads. A lead is a record about a person, such as their name and contact details. We call these people End Users.
For lead data, our customer is the controller and we are the processor. A processor handles data only on the instructions of the controller. Our Data Processing Agreement covers this data, and this Privacy Policy does not.

How and why we use data
The law requires a legal basis for each use of personal data. A legal basis is the reason the law accepts for using it. The bases we rely on are:
- Contract: we need the data to provide the service you signed up for.
- Legal obligation: a law requires us to use or keep the data.
- Legitimate interest: we have a fair business reason, and it does not override your rights and interests.
- Consent: you have said yes, and you can withdraw that at any time.
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Provide the platform and manage accounts | Contract |
| Billing and accounting | Contract and legal obligation |
| Customer support, including our assistant Alo | Contract and legitimate interest |
| Security, fraud prevention and abuse handling | Legitimate interest and legal obligation |
| Improving the product using aggregated usage data | Legitimate interest |
| Marketing emails and messages | Consent, or legitimate interest for existing business customers. There is always an easy way to opt out. |
| Legal claims and compliance | Legal obligation and legitimate interest |

Marketing
Every marketing email we send has an unsubscribe link.
You can opt out at any time. Use the link in the email, or write to us at [email protected]. Opting out does not affect messages we must send you about your account or billing.
07
Who we share data with
We share personal data only with:
- Service providers who act on our instructions, such as hosting, email, payment and support chat providers. These are our subprocessors.
- Professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
- A buyer, if we are part of a merger or acquisition. The buyer must protect the data in the same way.
We host the platform with established cloud infrastructure providers.
Our website also uses a third party chat service for our assistant Alo, and loads web fonts from a third party font service. These providers receive technical data such as your IP address when the page loads or when you chat.
A current list of our subprocessors is available on request at [email protected].
08
International transfers
We and our service providers may process your data outside your country.
Some countries have an adequacy decision. This is an official decision by the EU or the UK that a country protects personal data well enough. When we transfer EU or UK data to a country without one, we use safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. These are approved contract terms that protect the data after the transfer.
09
How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, or as required by law, and then delete or anonymise it.
10
Security
We protect personal data with measures that include:
- Encryption in transit, and at rest where supported
- Access limited to staff who need it for their work
- Isolation, so each account's data stays separate from other accounts
- Logging and monitoring of our systems
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal data, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
11
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct data that is wrong or incomplete
- Delete your data
- Restrict how we use your data
- Object to how we use your data, including to direct marketing at any time
- Data portability: receive your data in a common, machine readable format, or have it sent to someone else
- Withdraw consent where we rely on it
Some rights have limits under the law. Requests are free of charge. We reply within one month. Where the law allows, we may extend this period, and we will tell you if we do.
Send your request to [email protected]. We may ask you to confirm your identity first.
12
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please contact us first at [email protected]. We will try to fix it.
You can also complain to the Data Protection Commissioner of Saint Lucia. If you are in the EU or the UK, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
13
Automated decisions
We do not make decisions about website visitors or account users using only automated means when those decisions have legal or similarly significant effects on them.
14
Children
Our services are for businesses. They are not directed at anyone under 18.
15
Links to other sites
Our website may link to other websites. Their own privacy policies apply to them, not this one.
16
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. We tell customers about significant changes.
