Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data Adsyte ("we", "the Service") collects when you use adsyte.org, and why.

1. What we collect

Data	Source	Why
Email, display name, avatar	Google, GitHub, or Discord (whichever you sign in with)	To create and identify your account
Sites you publish	You, directly	To list them in the directory
Votes, visits, categories you pick	Your activity on the Service	Ranking, personalized recommendations
An anonymous visitor ID (cookie)	Set automatically	Avoid double-counting the same visit
Billing info (card, name)	Stripe, if you subscribe	Processing payment. We never see or store card details ourselves

2. What we don't do

We don't sell your data to anyone.
We don't show your email publicly, only your display name and avatar are visible to other users.
We don't track you across other websites.

3. Third parties we rely on

Google, GitHub, Discord: for sign-in. They handle authentication; we only receive your email, name, and avatar.
Stripe: for payment processing on paid plans.
hCaptcha: to keep bots from spamming site submissions.
Vercel: hosting and file storage (banner images).
Upstash: our database provider.

Each of these processes data under their own privacy policy, only for the purpose described above.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies: one to keep you signed in, one to remember your OAuth sign-in state briefly during login, and one anonymous visitor ID to avoid counting the same visit twice. None of these are used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

5. Your rights

You can delete any site you've published at any time from "My Sites." You can delete your entire account, and everything tied to it, yourself at any time from your Profile page ("Delete my account"). This immediately and permanently erases your sites, votes, tokens, visit history and cancels any active subscription. For anything else (like a copy of your data), email us at jexxandclaynns@gmail.com.

6. Data retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. If you stop using Adsyte, your data stays until you ask us to remove it.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
