Privacy policy

AdsAnyway (adsanyway.com) is an ad marketplace. This page describes the data we actually store today. It is not a claim of a specific legal entity or certification.

Who this covers

People who create an AdsAnyway account, list a site or Discord server, upload a creative, book a slot, or load an embed we serve.

What we collect

• Account: email, display name, password hash. Google sign-in also stores a Google account id and the name and verified email Google sends us. We do not store your password in plain text.
• Listings: site name, URL, category, seller-reported monthly visits, zone settings, Discord server details you enter.
• Ads: creative files or URLs, click URLs, campaign dates, budgets, bids, and serve counts (views, impressions, clicks).
• Money ledger: balance, earnings, holds, top-ups, charges, payout requests, and the Stripe identifiers (customer, checkout session, connected account) needed to reconcile them. We never store card numbers.
• Session: a session token in a cookie so you stay logged in. See Cookies.
• Landing and funnel: a first-party gam_land cookie with the first adsanyway.com path, referrer, UTM tags, and listing ids from the URL. At signup we copy that onto the account. We also store first-party events (landing, listing view, book start, checkout, success, drop) tied to that visitor and, after signup, to the user. This is not a third-party analytics product.
• Site analytics: Google Analytics 4 on adsanyway.com (measurement id G-4T6V8QCDZ6). Google may receive the page URL, approximate location, device and browser data, whether you are logged in (as an opaque user id, not your email), and events for clicks, searches, form submits, bookings, and similar actions. See Google's privacy policy.
• Abuse controls: short-lived rate-limit keys that may include IP address, so one client cannot drain a CPC budget or flood /api/serve.

What we do not collect today

We do not sell personal data. We do not run advertising remarketing pixels on adsanyway.com. Card details are entered on Stripe's hosted checkout and handled under Stripe's privacy policy; sellers who connect a payout account share identity information with Stripe, not with us.

Publisher embeds

When a site pastes our snippet, the visitor's browser requests /ad.js and /api/serve from adsanyway.com. That request can include standard HTTP data (IP, user agent, referrer). We use it to pick a creative, count an impression, and rate-limit abuse. We do not build a cross-site advertising profile of that visitor.

Why we keep it

To run the marketplace: log you in, show listings, serve ads, keep an append-only money tape, and review payout or dispute requests. Seller-reported monthly visits are shown to buyers. They are not measured by us unless that site's embed is live and logging views.

How long

Account, listing, campaign, ledger, and first-party funnel rows stay until the account is closed or we are required to delete them. Session tokens expire after 30 days. The landing cookie lasts 90 days unless you delete it. Rate-limit keys expire in minutes. Google Analytics cookies last up to 24 months unless you delete them.

Your choices

You can log out. You can delete adsanyway.com cookies or block Google Analytics in your browser. Account deletion and payout freeze are not self-serve yet. If an account is later closed, historical ledger rows are not rewritten; the login is closed and listings stop serving.

Contact
