PRIVACY ALERT: PayPal Honey Browser Extension Under Investigation for Allegedly Hijacking Affiliate Referral Links to Claim Credit for Influencers' Sales
If you are an influencer who uses affiliate links, Honey may have taken credit for sales that should have gone to you. As a result, you may be entitled to money damages, a return of the funds that should have rightfully been credited to you, and an injunction requiring changes to the PayPal Honey's practices.SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe is investigating reports that PayPal's Honey web browser extension allegedly intercepted affiliate referral links between influencers and customers for customer purchases.
舊金山，2025年1月8日 /PRNewswire/ -- Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe正在調查有關PayPal的Honey網絡瀏覽器擴展程序 allegedly 攔截影響者與客戶之間的聯盟推薦鏈接以供客戶購買的報告。
On the Internet, a user who clicks an affiliate link, such as in the description for a YouTube video, to complete a purchase would normally credit a portion of the sale go to the referrer, who may receive a share of the total sale price. If a user had installed the Honey browser extension, Honey would instead search for "coupons" for the store. Even if Honey did not find any applicable coupons or discounts, it allegedly modified the tracking codes to remove credit for the sale from the influencer and to instead credit only PayPal. Reports indicate that Honey inserted itself into the stream of commerce immediately prior to the sale to funnel credit for millions of purchases from influencers who promoted the products.
在Internet Plus-related上，用戶點擊聯盟鏈接，例如YouTube視頻描述中的鏈接，完成購買時，通常會將部分銷售額歸功於推薦者，推薦者可能會獲得總銷售價格的份額。如果用戶安裝了Honey瀏覽器擴展，Honey將搜索該商店的「優惠券」。即使Honey沒有找到任何適用的優惠券或折扣，它 allegedly 也修改了跟蹤代碼，以便從影響者處移除銷售的信用，並僅將其歸功於PayPal。報告顯示，Honey在銷售前立即插入到商業流中，以便將數百萬購買的信用轉移給推廣產品的影響者。
We are actively investigating whether PayPal Honey unlawfully interfered with the relationship between customers and referrers on the Internet, including whether its alleged practice of intercepting affiliate referral codes violated state and federal laws.
我們正在積極調查PayPal Honey是否非法干預了客戶與Internet Plus-related上推薦者之間的關係，包括其 allegedly 攔截聯盟推薦代碼的做法是否違反了州和聯邦法律。

如果您是使用聯盟鏈接的影響者，Honey可能已經爲應歸於您的銷售賺取了信用。因此，您可能有權獲得經濟賠償，退還應歸您所有的資金，以及要求對PayPal Honey的做法進行變更的禁令。
