Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify You. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.

Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit our Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device.

Content You Provide

To provide the core function of the Service, which is offering and selling sponsor slots, We collect and store:

The Owner of a slot can see the ad a Sponsor submitted to it, including the email address the Sponsor provided, so that they can review the ad and be contacted about the sale.

Information from Third-Party Social Media Services

The Company allows You to create an account and log in to use the Service through the following Third-party Social Media Services:

If You decide to register through a Third-Party Social Media Service, We collect the Personal Data that service shares with Us for sign-in, such as Your name, Your email address, and Your profile picture.

You may also have the option of sharing additional information with the Company through Your Third-Party Social Media Service's account. If You choose to provide such information and Personal Data, during registration or otherwise, You are giving the Company permission to use, share, and store it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on Our Service and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze Our Service. The technologies We use may include:

Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser.

We use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:

For more information about the cookies we use and your choices regarding cookies, please visit our Cookies Policy or the Cookies section of our Privacy Policy.

Measurement on Embedding Sites

When a website embeds a sponsor slot, We count how many people saw the slot and how many clicked the ad. This counting happens on Our servers when the widget loads or a click is forwarded; We do not set cookies on Embedding Sites and We do not run any script that tracks You there.

To count each visitor at most once per day, We derive a pseudonymous identifier from the visitor's IP address and browser characteristics using a keyed hash whose key changes every day. The raw IP address is never stored. The identifier cannot be reversed, cannot be linked from one day to the next, and view identifiers cannot be matched to click identifiers. Automated traffic such as crawlers is excluded from the counts.

The per-visitor identifiers are deleted after two days. What We retain are daily totals: numbers with no connection to any individual visitor. These totals are shown to Owners and prospective Sponsors as evidence of a slot's traffic.

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:

We may share Your personal information in the following situations:

Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on a small number of third-party services to operate the Service. Where these services process Your information, they do so on Our behalf and under Our instructions.

Database Hosting (Hetzner)

Our databases run on Hetzner Online GmbH servers in Germany. This is where account data, slot listings, ads, and the aggregated view and click counts are stored. For more information, please review https://www.hetzner.com/legal/privacy-policy .

Application Hosting (Vercel)

The application itself is served by Vercel Inc., which processes the technical data of every request to the Service, including requests from visitors of Embedding Sites, and may do so in regions outside the EU, including the United States. For more information, please review https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy .

Media Storage and Delivery (AWS and Cloudflare)

The ad images Sponsors upload are stored using Amazon Web Services (Amazon S3) in the EU (Frankfurt, eu-central-1 region). Images are delivered through Cloudflare's content delivery network, so Cloudflare processes the technical request data, including the IP address, of anyone who loads an ad image, including visitors of Embedding Sites. Account-related and transactional emails We send to You are delivered through Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES). For more information, please review https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/ and https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ .

Payments (Stripe)

All payments are processed by Stripe. When a Sponsor pays for an ad, their payment details go directly to Stripe; We never receive or store card numbers. When an Owner sets up payouts, they provide identity and bank information directly to Stripe as part of Stripe's onboarding, and the Owner is the merchant of record for sales from their slots. For more information, please review https://stripe.com/privacy .

Retention of Your Personal Data

The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to computers, and maintained on computers, located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.

The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to delete or request that We assist in deleting the Personal Data that We have collected about You.

Our Service may give You the ability to delete certain information about You from within the Service.

You may update, amend, or delete Your information at any time by signing in to Your Account, if you have one, and visiting the account settings section that allows you to manage Your personal information. You may also contact Us to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that You have provided to Us.

Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before Your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements

The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
