Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account details such as name, email address, workspace membership, and authentication records.
• Device and integration details such as supported application, adapter version, connection health, and task lifecycle timestamps.
• Advertising events such as selection, rendering, verified viewability, clicks, attributed conversions, and associated earnings.
• Campaign, billing, payout, and support information supplied by advertisers and publishers.

Contextual classification

Topic matching is off until you choose to turn it on, when you sign up or later in your Adbucks dashboard, and you can turn it off again at any time. People who choose it earn a larger share of what advertisers pay for each view; advertisers pay the same either way. When it is on, supported integrations classify broad commercial category and intent locally whenever possible. Adbucks does not require raw prompts, conversations, repositories, source files, passwords, or API keys for wait-state advertising.

Sensitive or unrecognized context is designed to suppress targeting rather than force an advertisement. Adbucks may receive a normalized category, confidence level, product concepts, and non-sensitive task identifier when contextual targeting is enabled.

When a question matches no topic, the extension may reuse a topic from an earlier question in the same browser. Those topics are a short list of category names held on your own device, never prompts or conversations, they expire within a day, and an advertisement chosen this way is marked as remembered. The extension popup always shows exactly what was sent for the last advertisement.

Where your information is stored

Adbucks keeps account and advertising records with its hosting and database providers in the United States. If you use Adbucks from another country, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States. Our providers encrypt this information while it is stored and while it travels between systems.

We never store your password. We keep only a one-way scrambled form of it that cannot be turned back into the password, and sign-in sessions are stored the same way.

If you sign in with Google, Google tells us your name, your email address, whether Google has confirmed that address, and an identifier for your Google account. We use them only to sign you in. We never receive your Google password, and we ask for no access to your email, files or anything else in your Google account.

Your location

We work out which country you are in from the network your connection comes from, as reported by our hosting provider. We use it to decide which campaigns may be shown to you and to meet legal restrictions. We record the country, not your network address.

To stop one person earning through several accounts, we keep a one-way, keyed code made from the network address you earn from. It cannot be turned back into your address, it is compared only with other Adbucks accounts, and it is deleted after 90 days.

If you sign up through someone's invite link, we record that they invited you so we can pay their invite bonus. They see how many people joined through their link, never who.

In weeks you earn, we email you a short summary of your earnings. You can turn it off from any of those emails or from Payouts in your workspace.

If your country cannot be determined, only campaigns open to every country may be shown to you. Earning and cash-out are not available in countries under comprehensive United States sanctions.

How information is used

• Operate accounts, integrations, campaigns, attribution, fraud controls, and customer support.
• Select eligible campaigns, enforce budgets and frequency limits, calculate revenue share, and produce reports.
• Secure, debug, and improve Adbucks using limited operational telemetry.
• Meet legal, tax, accounting, and payment obligations.

Sharing and retention

We share information only with service providers needed to operate Adbucks, payment and attribution partners, workspace administrators, and authorities when legally required. Advertisers receive aggregated or campaign-level reporting rather than conversation content.

When you cash out as a gift card, the email address you give us is shared with the gift card provider so the card can be delivered to you.

We retain records only as long as needed for the service, security, dispute resolution, accounting, and legal obligations. The topic an ad was matched on is deleted after 90 days. Users may request access, correction, or deletion, subject to records we must retain.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time at adbucks.co/account/delete, or by emailing privacy@adbucks.co. Deleting your account erases your email address, name, password and Google sign-in, signs you out of the website, the Chrome extension and the Mac app, removes your settings and connected apps, and stops any campaigns you run. Earnings you have not cashed out are forfeited.

Records of advertisement views, charges, earnings, payouts and fraud checks are kept without your name for as long as the law requires, because they are financial records that we and our advertisers rely on. If you have a cash-out on its way or unspent advertising credit, we ask you to let it arrive or have it refunded before your account is deleted, so that you do not lose money.

Your controls

• Disable Adbucks or contextual targeting from Adbucks settings.
• Review connected applications and revoke device access.
• Manage campaign, notification, and content preferences.
• Delete your account at adbucks.co/account/delete.
• Request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal information by emailing privacy@adbucks.co.
