Privacy Policy

This public website, updated October 5, 2026: the enquiry form stores the information you submit, its reference, consent confirmation, receipt time and processing status in private server records. Records and notification jobs are kept for up to 90 days. The owner receives only a minimal email containing the reference, enquiry type and receipt time; the submitted brief stays in the private record.

The site counts a limited set of interactions in daily aggregate counters, without browser identifiers, cookies or customer details. Email-based abuse limits use a keyed hash. The contact form uses a first-party, HttpOnly verification cookie that expires after 10 minutes. Verification images and private answer hashes expire after 10 minutes; short-lived request limits use a keyed hash of the connection address, with no raw IP stored. This essential cookie prevents automated form abuse and is not used for advertising or analytics. Website access logs omit IP addresses, query strings and user agents and rotate for seven days. Hosting, network and email providers can process connection or delivery data through their services. To request access, correction or deletion, contact the team and quote your reference.

The original platform privacy policy remains below. Its account registration, payment, advertising data, certification and transfer statements describe company platform processes; this public form does not collect passwords, payment instruments or identity documents. Privacy, legal and billing requests can be routed through the website support form.

GaiaAds LLC ("GaiaAds", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our advertising platform, or interact with our services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using our Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: (1) content you provide to us directly; (2) data collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies; and (3) data obtained from third-party sources.

1.1 Information Provided by You

  • Account Registration: When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, company name, phone number, and password.
  • Billing Information: To process payments, we collect billing addresses, tax identification numbers (such as VAT or EIN), and financial information. Note that we do not store full credit card numbers; these are processed by our PCI-DSS compliant payment providers.
  • Communications: We collect information when you contact our support team, sign up for newsletters, or respond to surveys.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Log Data: Our servers automatically record information ("log data") created by your use of the Services. Log data may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, search terms, and cookie information.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies on an individual and aggregated basis.
  • Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access our Services, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various business purposes, including:

  • Service Provision: To provide, operate, maintain, and improve our Services and the GaiaAds Platform.
  • Ad Targeting: To enable our demand-side platform (DSP) and supply-side platform (SSP) to match potential advertisers with publishers, and to deliver interest-based advertising relevant to users.
  • Analytics and Research: To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services and for marketing or advertising purposes.
  • Security: To detect, prevent, and address fraud, breach of policies or terms, and threats or harm.
  • Compliance: To verify your identity and ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.
  • Communication: To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to non-affiliated third parties for their own marketing use without your consent, except as described below:

3.1 Ecosystem Partners

In the context of programmatic advertising, we may share pseudo-anonymized data (such as UID 2.0 identifiers, IP addresses hashed or truncated, and device IDs) with:

  • Supply Partners: Publishers and SSPs to facilitate the buying and selling of ad inventory.
  • Demand Partners: Advertisers and DSPs to enable bid requests and ad delivery.
  • Data Providers: Third-party data platforms (DMPs) to enrich audience profiles.
  • Measurement Services: Companies that provide verification regarding viewability, fraud, and brand safety.

3.2 Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to administer and provide the Services on our behalf (such as customer support, hosting, email delivery, and database management). These third parties are permitted to use your personal information only to perform these tasks in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

4. International Data Transfers

GaiaAds is headquartered in the United States. Your information, including personal information, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to the United States and process it there. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission for such transfers.

5. Your Data Protection Rights

5.2 GDPR (EEA/UK Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

6. Security and Retention

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not addressed to anyone under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

Public website cookie choices

On your first visit, We value your privacy offers Customize, Reject All and Accept All. Use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to change your choice at any time. Reject All keeps necessary security, verification and account-session cookies active.

Optional Website measurement counts enquiry-link clicks in daily aggregates only after you allow it. These events contain no visitor identifier, form contents or cross-site profile. Reject All or disable Website measurement to stop future click counting. Receipt and security records needed to process your enquiry are separate from these optional counts.

The first-party gaiaadsllc_privacy_choice cookie remembers your choice for up to 180 days. It stores the notice version, allowed categories and update time without a unique visitor identifier. Image verification uses a separate first-party HttpOnly/SameSite cookie lasting up to 10 minutes; existing account-session cookies protect signed-in access.

These choices apply to this website. Consent to process an enquiry, account agreements and advertising on partner properties are handled separately. Any broader platform cookie descriptions in this policy do not mean those trackers are installed on the public website. If browser storage is unavailable, the notice may appear again.
