Privacy Policy

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to adwiz.co.uk, ads.adwiz.co.uk, the advertiser, publisher and referrer portals, the launch-notification form, support communications, payment administration, referral tracking, ad-serving scripts, reporting, diagnostics and fraud prevention.

Publisher websites and advertiser destination websites have their own privacy practices. Their operators are responsible for their own notices and lawful use of personal information.

3. Information we collect

• Account information: name, email address, role, login credentials, verification status and account preferences.
• Business and campaign information: websites, domains, ad spaces, campaign names, budgets, creatives, destination URLs, approval records and reports.
• Financial administration: wallet transactions, campaign allocations, payment references, provider transaction identifiers, publisher earnings, referral earnings, payout requests and UK bank payout details. Bank payout details are encrypted before storage and restricted to authorised payout administration. Card details are normally handled by the payment provider rather than stored by AdWiz.
• Launch and marketing information: name, email, area of interest, referral code, source page and communication status.
• Ad-serving and technical information: page and referrer URLs, zone and format identifiers, browser and device information, viewport and slot measurements, visitor tokens, IP-derived or hashed identifiers, timestamps, visibility measurements, clicks, fraud indicators and error diagnostics.
• Communications: support requests, email delivery records, complaints and administrative correspondence.

4. Why we use information and our lawful bases

5. Advertising, visibility and fraud data

A raw ad request is not automatically billable. AdWiz may record a short-lived raw serve, then use browser visibility information, timing, visitor caps and fraud checks to decide whether an impression or click is valid.

Known automated traffic may be counted only in aggregated daily bot summaries instead of receiving a detailed event record. Emergency house adverts and technical fallbacks are not treated as advertiser-billable events.

AdWiz does not intend to build profiles of sensitive personal characteristics. Technical identifiers are used to operate, secure, measure and cap advertising activity.

6. Cookies, local storage and similar technologies

AdWiz uses limited required-service cookies for navigation, secure sessions, registration, account protection, requested payment functions, account preferences and referral attribution. Referral information is used so the person who introduced a new member can be credited correctly.

AdWiz cookies are not used to build behavioural advertising profiles or sell browsing information. The required-cookie notice must be acknowledged before login or registration can proceed.

Publisher websites may load AdWiz advertising technology that supports advert delivery, visibility measurement, repeat-charge protection, frequency caps and fraud prevention. Publishers are responsible for their own website notices and any consent required before loading third-party advertising technology.

Full details, storage names, purposes and typical durations are provided in the Cookies and Storage Policy.

7. Who we share information with

Information may be shared only where necessary with:

• hosting, infrastructure, email and security providers;
• payment providers such as Stripe, PayPal or banking services;
• professional advisers, accountants, insurers or legal advisers;
• public authorities where required by law;
• advertisers and publishers through reports, normally in aggregated or role-appropriate form rather than exposing another user's private financial details.

Service providers are expected to use information only for the agreed service and to protect it appropriately.

8. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, AdWiz will use an appropriate legal safeguard, such as UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual protections or another lawful transfer mechanism.

9. How long information is kept

• Launch-interest details: until you unsubscribe, the purpose ends, or normally no longer than 12 months after the launch campaign concludes.
• Active account and operational records: while the account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward for disputes, security and administration.
• Financial, billing, earning and payout records: for the period required by UK tax, accounting and legal obligations, and normally up to six years where needed.
• Unconfirmed raw serve records: normally up to 72 hours where no linked impression exists.
• Zone-health diagnostics: normally up to 90 days.
• Aggregated daily bot summaries: normally up to 180 days.
• Valid impression, click and anti-fraud records: for as long as reasonably required for billing, disputes, fraud prevention and legal obligations.

Information may be kept longer where a dispute, investigation, legal hold or statutory obligation requires it.

10. Security

AdWiz uses access controls, password hashing, verification, fraud screening, restricted administration, provider verification, event caps and operational monitoring. No system can guarantee absolute security, but reasonable technical and organisational measures are maintained and reviewed.

11. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, receive portable data, and withdraw consent. You may also object to direct marketing at any time.

Requests can be sent to email@adwiz.co.uk. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.

12. Children

AdWiz is a business advertising service and is not intended for children. Accounts should not be created by anyone under 18.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the service, law or business model changes. The current version and update date will be published on this page. Material changes may also be notified through the portal or by email.

14. Contact and complaints

Contact AdWiz first so concerns can be investigated promptly:

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office. Information is available at ico.org.uk.
