Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit adbench (the “site”, “we”, or “us”), available at https://adbench.io, and how that information is used. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Who we are
adbench is an independent ad-tech publication at https://adbench.io. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@adbench.io.
What we collect
We do not ask you for personal information to read this site. There is no account to create, no newsletter sign-up, and no comment form. The limited data described below is collected automatically or by third-party services.
Server logs
Like virtually all websites, our web server automatically records technical request data each time a page is loaded: your IP address, browser type and version (user-agent), the page requested, the referring page, and a timestamp. This information is used solely to operate the site, diagnose errors, and protect against abuse and attacks. These logs are retained for a limited period and then rotated and deleted.
Cookies
We do not set cookies for ordinary visitors. WordPress, the software that runs this site, sets cookies only for users who log in to the site’s administration area — currently only the site’s own staff. If you are simply reading the site, no cookies are stored by us. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.
Avatars (Gravatar)
Author profile pictures shown next to articles are served by Gravatar, a service operated by Automattic Inc. When a page containing an avatar loads, your browser requests the image from Gravatar, which means Gravatar receives your IP address and user-agent as part of that request. Automattic’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
What we do not do
To be clear about what is not happening on this site:
- We do not run analytics or visitor-tracking software.
- We do not display third-party advertising.
- We do not operate an email newsletter and do not collect email addresses.
- We do not have a comment system enabled, so no comment data is collected.
- We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing.
Subscribing via RSS
Our Subscribe page offers one-click buttons for third-party feed readers such as Feedly and Inoreader. If you use them, you are interacting with those services directly under their own privacy policies — we do not receive, see, or store any information about who subscribes.
External links and embedded content
Articles may link to, or embed content from, other websites — for example a chart, dataset, or video. Embedded content from another site behaves as if you had visited that site directly and may collect data about you under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to or embed.
How long we keep data
We do not maintain a database of personal information about visitors. Automatically generated server logs are kept only for a short period for security and troubleshooting, after which they are deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you, and to object to its processing. Because this site collects so little, in most cases the only data connected to you is transient server-log data. To make a request, email us at hello@adbench.io and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children
This site is intended for a professional, adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site changes — for example, if analytics or advertising are introduced in the future. Material changes will be reflected here with a revised “Last updated” date.
