Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect the minimum information needed to operate accounts, serve sponsored statusline ads, measure billable events, prevent abuse, and support billing or payouts.

• Marketing leads: name, email, company, role, budget range, agent/platform interest, and submitted notes.
• Account identity: Google OAuth email, name where provided, organization membership, and session records.
• Advertiser data: organization profile, campaign settings, creative text, destination URLs, wallet funding, billing artifacts, moderation status, and reporting data.
• Developer device data: local device identifier, daemon version, OS, CPU architecture, locale, editor or agent metadata when available, adapter status, update state, and diagnostic telemetry.
• Ad activity: fill, serve, impression, click, payout, and ledger identifiers with timestamps and related state.
• Security and fraud signals: IP address, coarse network classification, event integrity checks, rate-limit signals, and invalid-traffic review results.
• Payment and payout metadata: Stripe payment, refund, dispute, Connect onboarding, transfer, and settlement identifiers and statuses.
• Support communications: messages, screenshots, logs, and troubleshooting details that you choose to send us.

What we do not collect

The daemon does not need private development content to measure a sponsored wait-state line.

• We do not collect source code, repositories, file contents, prompts, completions, AI conversations, terminal contents, secrets, tokens, or clipboard contents.
• We do not use code, prompts, files, or AI conversations for targeting because we do not collect them.
• We do not sell code, prompts, completions, files, or AI conversations because we do not collect them.

How we use information

• Authenticate users and protect accounts.
• Install, update, diagnose, and support the daemon.
• Select, rotate, render, measure, and bill sponsored statusline ads.
• Credit developer earnings and support payout workflows.
• Process advertiser wallet funding, refunds, disputes, receipts, and reporting.
• Review creatives, enforce policies, detect invalid traffic, and prevent abuse.
• Operate backups, logs, security monitoring, reconciliation, and incident response.
• Improve aggregate product reliability and support quality.

Sharing and service providers

We share information with service providers only as needed to operate AgentAds, comply with law, or protect the service.

• Stripe processes wallet funding, payment methods, refunds, disputes, Connect onboarding, transfers, and payout-related metadata.
• Google provides OAuth sign-in and may provide identity fields authorized during sign-in.
• AWS, Vercel, and related infrastructure providers host the API, sites, logs, storage, backups, and release artifacts.
• Email providers send receipts, moderation notices, payout notices, support messages, and operational alerts.
• We may disclose information if required by law, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect AgentAds, users, advertisers, developers, and the public.

Retention

• Ledger, payment, payout, tax, fraud, and dispute records are retained as long as needed for accounting, compliance, reconciliation, and support.
• Event and network data may be retained for fraud review, reporting, and billing integrity. IP data is designed to be minimized or truncated after scoring where implemented.
• Marketing lead and support records are retained while they remain useful for follow-up, support, audit, or legal purposes.
• Deletion requests may be limited where records are needed for security, accounting, tax, dispute, fraud, legal, or platform integrity reasons.

Your choices and requests

• You can uninstall the daemon with the AgentAds CLI and stop future device telemetry from that machine.
• You can contact us to request access, correction, deletion, export, or account closure, subject to legal and operational limits.
• California residents may have rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of certain sharing, limit sensitive-information use, and be free from discrimination for exercising privacy rights where applicable.
• If we later use cookies, analytics, or advertising technologies that require additional choices, we will update this policy and the product surfaces.

Security, children, and international use

• We use technical and organizational safeguards such as signed releases, token handling, production configuration guards, access controls, logging, backups, and reconciliation.
• AgentAds is not intended for children or for users under 18.
• AgentAds is operated from the United States. If you use it from another country, information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate.
