Privacy Policy

At AdGuardian, we protect your advertising budget by analyzing traffic. We believe your data should be as secure as your ad spend.

1. Data We Collect

To provide real-time click fraud detection and traffic auditing, we collect specific technical data points when a user interacts with your monitored ads or website:

  • Network Identifiers: IP addresses, ASN (Autonomous System Number), and proxy/VPN status.
  • Device Information: Browser type, version, operating system, and hardware identifiers.
  • Engagement Metadata: Click timestamps, referral URLs, and interaction patterns (scrolling/movement).
  • Account Data: Email and billing information provided during registration.

2. How We Use Your Data

AdGuardian uses the collected information exclusively for the purpose of identifying and preventing invalid traffic (IVT).

  • Generating fraud reports and "Proof of Loss" documentation.
  • Identifying malicious botnets and automated scripts in real-time.
  • Improving our detection algorithms through anonymized pattern analysis.
  • Facilitating account management and customer support.

We do not sell your personal data or your traffic logs to third-party advertisers. Your data is used to protect you, not to profile your users for marketing.

3. Data Sharing & Retention

We only share data with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Secure infrastructure partners (e.g., AWS, Cloudflare) that host our service.
  • Ad Platforms: When you explicitly export reports to request refunds from platforms like Google Ads.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law or valid legal process.

By default, raw event logs are retained for 90 days to allow for historical auditing and refund claims, after which they are purged or aggregated.

4. Security Measures

We employ industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for all data in transit and at rest. Access to raw traffic logs is strictly restricted to authorized personnel and protected by multi-factor authentication.
