Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Ads Industry, Inc. (“Ads Industry”, “we”, “us”) operates adsindustry.com and provides performance paid-media services. Our operating offices are in Montréal, Seattle, London and Doha.

For questions about this policy or to exercise your rights below, email privacy@adsindustry.com.

2. What we collect

On the website we collect only what you submit voluntarily and minimal technical telemetry:

• Form submissions: name, work email, company, website URL, monthly ad spend range, and any free-text context you provide.
• Conversion tracking: UTM parameters, gclid, fbclid, referrer, landing page, and a hashed user identifier to measure campaign performance.
• Cookies: essential session cookies and — only with your consent — analytics and advertising cookies via Google Tag Manager, GA4, Meta Pixel, and Google Ads.
• Server logs: IP address, user agent, request timestamp. Retained for 30 days for abuse prevention.

3. How we use it

We use submitted information to:

• Respond to inbound audit and contact requests (our primary purpose).
• Measure the performance of our paid advertising campaigns via server-side events (Google Ads, Meta Conversions API).
• Keep records of engagements for billing, regulatory and dispute-resolution purposes.

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties except our sub-processors (below).

4. Sub-processors

We use a short list of vendors to operate the site and CRM:

• Vercel — hosting and CDN (data regions: us-east-1, eu-west-1).
• Cloudflare — DNS and bot protection.
• Google (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager) — advertising measurement, consent-gated.
• Meta Platforms — advertising measurement via Conversions API, consent-gated.
• HubSpot — CRM of record for inbound leads.
• Resend — transactional email delivery for auto-replies.
• Slack — internal lead notifications.
• Sentry — error and performance monitoring.

5. Retention

Inbound leads are retained in our CRM for up to 24 months from last meaningful interaction. Engaged client records are retained for the length of the engagement plus 7 years for legal and tax purposes. Server logs are retained for 30 days. You may request deletion at any time.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR in the EU/UK, CCPA/CPRA in California, PIPEDA in Canada, LGPD in Brazil), you have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict processing, object to processing and port your data. We honour all such requests within 5 business days of verified identity. Email privacy@adsindustry.com.

Do Not Sell / Do Not Share: we do not sell or share personal information in the sense defined by the CCPA/CPRA. To opt out of advertising cookies on any given visit, decline them in the cookie banner.

7. Cookies and Consent Mode

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. Until you consent, analytics and advertising tags run in denied state and do not set identifiers. You can update your choices any time via the cookie banner (which reappears when cleared) or by emailing us.

8. Security

Data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2+. Data at rest in our vendor stack is encrypted at the platform level. Access to production systems is limited to named staff under MFA. We maintain a written security policy and conduct annual access reviews.

9. Changes

We will post material changes to this policy on this page and update the “last updated” date. Substantial changes that affect existing data will be notified by email.
