Privacy Policy

1. Transparency First

Ad Supply Audit is a free utility designed specifically for Ad Ops professionals and website owners. Our goal is to provide transparency in the digital advertising supply chain. This policy outlines how we handle data during the audit process.

2. Information We Process

When you use our tool, we process the following information:

  • Domains: The website domain you enter to be scanned.
  • Public Files: We fetch public ads.txt and sellers.json files from digital advertising networks.
  • Standard Logs: Like most web services, we may collect basic server log information such as IP addresses and browser types for security and debugging purposes.

3. No Permanent Storage

To protect your privacy and ensure we are a "stateless" utility:

  • Audit results are not permanently stored in our database.
  • We do not require user registration or accounts.
  • We use temporary caching to improve performance for frequent network lookups, but this data is periodically purged.

4. Third-Party Requests

During an audit, our server makes outgoing requests to the domain provided and various advertising exchange domains (e.g., Google, AppNexus, Magnite) to fetch their sellers.json registries. These requests are standard HTTP calls and do not include any identifiable information about you.

5. Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies on this website. Any local storage used is strictly functional for the operation of the tool.

6. Contact

Since this is a free community tool provided without an official support team, for any privacy concerns, please contact the maintainers via the public repository or the feedback channel.
