PrivAdSpy Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PrivAdSpy collects, processes, stores and shares information when users access the PrivAdSpy website or use the PrivAdSpy Chrome extension.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or would like to exercise your privacy rights, please contact us at contact@privadspy.com.

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• the PrivAdSpy website available at https://privadspy.com;
• the PrivAdSpy Chrome extension;
• the PrivAdSpy account, subscription, advertising research, product research and store-tracking services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 PrivAdSpy account and authentication information

When a user creates an account, signs in or updates a profile, PrivAdSpy may collect:

• first and last name;
• email address;
• password;
• preferred language;
• account, subscription and authentication information.

Passwords are transmitted securely to PrivAdSpy through HTTPS. They are stored on PrivAdSpy servers in hashed form and are not stored locally in readable form by the Chrome extension.

After successful authentication, the extension stores a PrivAdSpy authentication token in Chrome storage. This token allows the user to remain signed in and access features associated with the user's PrivAdSpy account.

2.2 Information processed when using extension features

When a user explicitly activates an extension feature, PrivAdSpy may process:

• search terms, filters and country selections entered by the user;
• advertisement identifiers and publicly available advertising information;
• advertiser or public page information;
• store, product, advertisement or page URLs selected by the user;
• public content from stores, product pages or advertising libraries requested by the user;
• products, advertisements, stores and pages the user chooses to save or track;
• product or image URLs submitted for product-search features.

PrivAdSpy does not continuously monitor or collect the user's general browsing history. Website URLs and content are processed only when required to provide a feature requested by the user.

2.3 Meta and Facebook information

A Meta or Facebook account is not required to use the main PrivAdSpy features. PrivAdSpy does not request, collect or store the user's Meta or Facebook username or password.

If a user is already signed in to Meta or Facebook and explicitly activates a feature that communicates with the Meta Ad Library, the extension may temporarily process technical session information made available by Meta, such as a temporary session token. This information is used only to perform the request selected by the user.

Meta session information is not stored on PrivAdSpy servers, is not sold, and is not used to access private messages, publish content or modify the user's Meta account.

2.4 Technical and log information

The PrivAdSpy website and servers may automatically collect technical information necessary to operate, secure and troubleshoot the service, including:

• IP address;
• browser type and version;
• operating system and language;
• date and time of requests;
• referring or exit pages;
• server logs and error information;
• information required to detect fraud, abuse or security incidents.

2.5 Subscription, payment and affiliate information

When a user purchases a subscription or participates in the affiliate program, PrivAdSpy may process subscription status, transaction identifiers and a PayPal email address voluntarily provided by the user.

Payments are processed by the applicable payment provider. PrivAdSpy does not store complete payment-card numbers through the Chrome extension.

2.6 Cookies and local storage

The PrivAdSpy website may use cookies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, secure accounts and provide requested services.

The Chrome extension uses Chrome storage to retain the PrivAdSpy authentication token and functional preferences needed to operate the extension.

3. How We Process and Use Information

PrivAdSpy processes information only for the following purposes:

• creating and authenticating PrivAdSpy accounts;
• maintaining the user's authenticated session;
• providing advertisement research and analysis features;
• providing product research and store-tracking features;
• performing searches explicitly requested by the user;
• saving advertisements, stores, products or pages selected by the user;
• managing subscriptions, affiliate accounts and access to paid features;
• providing customer support and service-related communications;
• protecting PrivAdSpy and its users against fraud, abuse and security incidents;
• maintaining and improving the performance and reliability of the service;
• complying with applicable legal obligations.

PrivAdSpy does not use Chrome extension data for personalized advertising, interest-based advertising, retargeting or unrelated user profiling.

4. Data Storage and Retention

PrivAdSpy account information, subscription information and items voluntarily saved or tracked by a user may be stored on PrivAdSpy servers for as long as the account remains active or as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service.

Passwords are stored as cryptographic hashes rather than readable plain-text passwords.

The PrivAdSpy authentication token is stored using Chrome storage. Depending on the user's Chrome configuration, Chrome may synchronize this storage between browsers connected to the same Google account.

Temporary Meta session information, when available and required for a user-requested feature, is processed temporarily and is not retained on PrivAdSpy servers.

Technical and security logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention and legal compliance.

Following an account deletion request, certain information may remain temporarily in secured backups or when retention is required by law. It will not be used for other purposes.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

PrivAdSpy may transmit or disclose information only in the following circumstances:

• to PrivAdSpy hosting, infrastructure, email, payment and security providers when necessary to operate the service;
• to Meta or Facebook when the user explicitly requests a Meta Ad Library search;
• to Google when the user explicitly requests a Google Ads Transparency Center search;
• to AliExpress when the user explicitly requests an AliExpress product or image search;
• when required by applicable law, regulation, court order or legal process;
• when necessary to investigate fraud, abuse or security incidents;
• as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

Third-party platforms process requests according to their own privacy policies and terms of service.

PrivAdSpy does not sell, rent or transfer personal or sensitive user data to data brokers, advertising networks or unrelated third parties.

6. Chrome Extension Permissions

The PrivAdSpy extension uses Chrome permissions, including storage, scripting and access to supported websites, only when necessary to provide its declared advertisement research, product research and store-analysis features.

The scripting permission is used to display the extension interface and to retrieve public advertisement, store or product information required for a feature explicitly activated by the user.

These permissions are not used to monitor unrelated browsing activity, read private communications or display personalized advertisements.

7. Data Security

PrivAdSpy uses HTTPS to protect information during transmission and applies reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. User Choices and Rights

Users may:

• review or update their PrivAdSpy profile information;
• sign out to remove the active PrivAdSpy session from the extension;
• remove the Chrome extension at any time;
• request access to, correction of or deletion of their personal information;
• request deletion of their PrivAdSpy account and associated information.

Privacy and deletion requests can be sent to contact@privadspy.com. We may need to verify the requester's identity before processing a request.

9. Children's Privacy

PrivAdSpy is not intended for children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to PrivAdSpy, they may contact us at contact@privadspy.com to request its deletion.

10. Chrome Web Store Limited Use

PrivAdSpy's use and transfer of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

User data is used only to provide or improve the user-facing features described in this Privacy Policy and in the Chrome Web Store listing.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when PrivAdSpy's functionality, data practices or legal obligations change. Updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
