Privacy Policy

This is short because we don't track you. That's kind of the point.

What we collect

Three things. That's it.

  • 1. Impressions — how many times an ad was shown. A counter. Not tied to you.
  • 2. Clicks — how many times someone clicked an ad. Again, just a counter.
  • 3. Country — derived from your IP address at request time. We store the country code (like "DE"), then immediately discard your IP. It is never stored, logged, or shared.

What we don't collect

Everything else.

No cookies
No fingerprinting
No user IDs or sessions
No city, region, or zip code
No cross-site tracking
No retargeting
No personal data stored
No IP addresses stored

Advertisers can't track you either

This is the part most ad networks get wrong. We get it right by design.

Advertisers submit their creative (text and images) to us. We serve it from our infrastructure. There is no direct connection between the advertiser and you. None.

Advertisers cannot add their own tracking pixels, scripts, cookies, or any tracking mechanism to their ads. No third-party code runs in our ad units. We are the wall between the advertiser and the user.

Advertisers receive aggregated stats — total impressions, total clicks, country breakdown — through our dashboard only. They never get data about individual users, because we don't have any.

GDPR

We believe we're GDPR compliant because we don't store personal data. No cookies means no consent banner. No user profiles means nothing to delete. IP addresses are processed in memory for country detection and never written to disk.

That said, you still have rights under GDPR. You can contact us to:

  • Ask what data we have about you (answer: none that identifies you)
  • Request deletion of your data (answer: there's nothing to delete)
  • File a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • Ask us anything about how we handle data

We'll answer honestly. That's easier when you have nothing to hide.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change this policy, we'll update it here. But the direction only goes one way: less data, not more. We're not going to wake up one day and decide tracking is cool.
