Privacy Policy

AdsOnline (“AdsOnline,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the platform available at adsonline.app (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide. Account details (name, email, password), profile and business information, billing and payment details, content and ad creative you upload, agreements you sign electronically, and messages you send through the Service.
• Information from connected services. When you connect a third-party account (for example, a YouTube channel via Google OAuth), we receive the data those services share with us based on the permissions you grant, such as channel statistics, audience demographics, and content metadata.
• Information collected automatically. Device and browser information, IP address, pages visited, actions taken, approximate location derived from IP, and similar usage data collected via cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).
• Information from partners. We may receive information from payment providers, agencies or representatives acting on your behalf, and other service providers, to operate the Service and prevent fraud.

2. Google user data

When you connect a Google account (for example, to link a YouTube channel), AdsOnline requests only the scopes required to display your channel statistics, audience demographics, and content metadata to authorized parties on the platform. Specifically, we may request youtube.readonly and related read-only scopes.

AdsOnline’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data to serve advertisements, do not transfer it to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve the Service or as required by law, and do not allow humans to read it except with your explicit consent, for security investigations, or to comply with applicable law.

You can revoke AdsOnline’s access to your Google account at any time via myaccount.google.com/permissions.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, secure the Service, and understand how the Service is used. These include strictly necessary cookies (required for authentication and security) and analytics/performance cookies. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can manage cookies through your browser settings.

4. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service;
• Create and manage your account and authenticate you;
• Facilitate bookings between advertisers and creators, including generating and processing agreements, payments, and payouts;
• Display creator metrics, audience demographics, and inventory to authorized users;
• Perform compliance review of ad content using automated screening and human review;
• Communicate with you about your account, transactions, and updates;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

Legal bases (for users in the EEA/UK). We process personal data where necessary to perform our contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, for our legitimate interests (such as securing and improving the Service and preventing fraud), and/or with your consent where required.

5. Automated screening

Ad content submitted to the Service may be analyzed by automated screening tools, alongside human review, to assess compliance with advertising policies and legal requirements (for example, required disclosures, restricted products, and unsupported claims). Final compliance decisions involve human review. We do not use this processing to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you without human involvement.

6. How we share information

We share information only as described below:

• With other users of the platform. Advertisers can view creator profiles, audience metrics, and inventory; creators can view advertiser identity and campaign details once a booking is confirmed. Agencies and authorized representatives can access the accounts they manage.
• With service providers that help us operate the Service — including cloud hosting and storage, payment processing, email delivery, electronic signature, automated content screening, analytics, and customer support. These providers are bound by contractual obligations to protect your information and use it only to provide services to us.
• For legal reasons when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AdsOnline, our users, or the public.
• In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, in which case we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your information.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

7. International data transfers

We are based in the United States and process information in the United States and other countries. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations, which may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for international transfers.

8. Data retention

We retain account, transaction, and agreement information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it. You may request deletion of your account at any time (see Section 10).

9. Security

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, role-based access controls, and row-level access restrictions. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you;
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your information;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Export your information in a portable format;
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising (where applicable);
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or attorney general.

To exercise these rights, email us at legal@adsonline.com. You can also manage core account settings from within the Service. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights, and we will verify your identity before responding. You may use an authorized agent where the law permits.

11. Children’s privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

12. Third-party links and services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party sites and services (such as Google/YouTube, Rumble, and payment providers). We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced via email or a notice in the Service before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
