Privacy Notice

Last updated: 16 August 2026

This notice explains what ComplyAds (“ComplyAds”, “we”, “us”, “our”) does with information when you use this site at complyads.com. ComplyAds is operated by ADVAITA OÜ (the “operator”), a private limited company (osaühing) registered in Estonia under registry code 17568302, with its registered office at Sepapaja tn 6, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Tallinn, Harju maakond, 15551, Estonia, contactable at [email protected]. The operator is the controller of any personal data described below.

1. The check runs on your device

The listing or post text you paste into the checker is processed entirely in your own browser using code that runs locally. It is never sent to us, stored, or logged — we never see it, and nothing about the text you check leaves your device. This is not just a policy; it is how the software works.

2. What we collect

ComplyAds is built to collect as little as possible:

• Listing or post text you check — never collected. All checking happens locally in your browser; the text is not transmitted anywhere.
• Analytics or behavioural data — none. We run no analytics, build no user profiles, and do not track you across websites.
• Cookies — ComplyAds itself sets no cookies. A third-party checkout (see below) may set its own cookies on its own pages when you start a purchase.
• Device storage — ComplyAds does not currently store anything in your browser’s local storage. The page checks whether a saved licence key is present, and today there is never one to find. When paid plans go live, activating a licence will save your licence key, plan tier and the time it was last verified on your device, so the plan stays unlocked there. Nothing in that store is used for tracking, and none of it is the text you check — that never leaves your device at all.
• Payment data — handled by our payment provider only if you buy a paid plan. We receive a plan or subscription status confirmation; we never see card numbers or full billing details.
• Email address — only if you contact us, or purchase a paid plan, in which case it is used to reply to you or to manage your subscription.
• Request metadata (IP address, user-agent, URL, timestamp) — processed by our hosting provider for security and routing, as described below. We do not log or store IP addresses ourselves.

3. Third-party services

• Cloudflare Pages — hosting and content-delivery network. Cloudflare processes request metadata (IP, user-agent, URL, timestamp) for security and routing, under its own privacy policy.
• Lemon Squeezy — if you purchase a paid plan, payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy handles billing, tax, and receipts under its own privacy policy.

No third-party requests. Every asset this site uses — including its typefaces — is served from complyads.com. Browsing the site and running a check make no request to any third-party server: no font CDN, no analytics, no tag manager, no embedded widgets. Nothing you do here is visible to another company. (Buying a paid plan navigates you to Lemon Squeezy’s own checkout, which is described in the Terms; that is a separate step you choose to take.)

4. How we use data

The minimal data we handle is used only to operate the service, to process and manage a paid subscription, to respond to support enquiries, and to comply with legal obligations.

5. What we do not do

• We do not sell your data to anyone.
• We do not share your data with third parties except as described in this notice.
• We do not run advertising networks or sell ad placements.
• We do not use analytics tools of any kind.
• We do not store the listing or post text you check.

6. Legal basis for processing (EU / UK GDPR)

• Contract — processing necessary to provide a service or subscription you requested.
• Legitimate interests — security, abuse prevention, and routing.
• Legitimate interests — replying to an enquiry you sent us.
• Legal obligation — where required by applicable law.

7. Your rights

If the EU or UK GDPR applies to you, you may ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your personal data, or to provide a copy of it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (under Article 77 GDPR) — in the EU/EEA, your national data-protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]; we will respond within one month.

8. Data retention

• Subscription data: retained for the duration of your subscription, then deleted within 30 days of cancellation.
• Support emails: retained for 12 months, then deleted.
• Payment records: retained as required by our payment provider and applicable tax law.
• Hosting logs: per Cloudflare’s own retention policy; we do not have direct access to them.

9. International data transfers

Because all checking happens locally in your browser, the text you check is never transferred anywhere. The only transfers that occur are payment processing (Lemon Squeezy) — which may involve transfers to the United States under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — together with request metadata handled by Cloudflare. See each provider’s privacy policy for details.

10. Children

ComplyAds is a business tool and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

We may update this notice occasionally. Material changes will be noted with an updated date at the top of this page.

12. Contact

Terms of Service

Last updated: 16 August 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using ComplyAds at complyads.com (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. The Service is operated by ADVAITA OÜ (the “operator”), a private limited company (osaühing) registered in Estonia under registry code 17568302, with its registered office at Sepapaja tn 6, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Tallinn, Harju maakond, 15551, Estonia. These Terms apply to all users, including free users, paid subscribers and visitors.

2. What ComplyAds is

ComplyAds is a browser-based tool that screens listing or post wording for phrases that may raise issues under advertising and consumer-protection rules in the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and the codified parts of US advertising law. It runs locally in your browser and returns flags alongside the rules they relate to. It is non-authoritative: it indicates potential issues and is not a determination of compliance or breach.

3. Not legal advice

ComplyAds is not a law firm, and its output is not legal advice and creates no lawyer-client relationship. It flags potential issues only; it does not certify that a listing is compliant, and a clean result is not a clearance. It cannot weigh your evidence or full circumstances the way a qualified adviser can. You remain solely responsible for your own listings. For anything borderline, or anything that matters, take advice from a qualified professional in the markets you sell in.

4. Licence and access

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service. Single-listing checks are free and unlimited. Paid plans grant the additional capabilities described for that plan in section 6 below, for both personal and commercial use, within the applicable plan limits.

5. Prohibited uses

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws;
• present the Service’s output as a legal certification, clearance or guarantee;
• attempt to circumvent plan limits or any access controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of the Service (except where permitted by mandatory law for interoperability);
• use automated scripts, bots or scrapers to interact with the Service;
• disrupt, interfere with, or place unreasonable load on the Service or its infrastructure;
• resell or sublicense access to the Service.

6. The service tiers

The Service is offered in four tiers. What each includes:

• Free (no charge) — unlimited single-listing checks. No account or sign-up is required. All supported platforms and markets are included, and every flag cites the rule and the platform policy it relates to.
• Day Pass (USD 19, 24 hours) — a single one-off payment, not a subscription. For 24 hours from activation: the full findings list with no cap, bulk checking of up to 100 listings per run (by pasting rows or loading a CSV), and downloadable flagged results. Access ends automatically when the 24 hours elapse; nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.
• Pro (USD 29 per month) — everything in Free, plus bulk checking of up to 100 listings per run (by pasting rows or loading a CSV), downloadable flagged results, and rule-pack updates.
• Enterprise (USD 69 per month) — everything in Pro, with bulk runs of up to 20,000 rows per run and priority support.

Every check — free or paid, single or bulk — runs locally in your browser. ComplyAds does not receive, store or transmit the listing text you check, on any tier. This is described further in the Privacy Notice above.

Flags are informational only, on every tier. A flag is a prompt to look more closely, not proof of a breach; a clean result is not a clearance or a certification; and nothing provided under any tier is legal advice. See section 3 (Not legal advice) and the Disclaimer below.

7. Plans, payment and refunds

Paid plans (for example Pro and Enterprise) are billed at the prices shown on the site. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period; you may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current period. Prices may be exclusive of VAT and local taxes. Lemon Squeezy acts as Merchant of Record and handles all tax calculation, collection and remittance.

Refunds are available within 14 days of a first subscription purchase, provided the paid features have only been used minimally in that period. To request a refund, contact [email protected]. This voluntary refund policy is separate from, and more generous than, the statutory withdrawal right described below.

By beginning use of paid features, you expressly consent to immediate performance of the digital service and acknowledge that, to the extent applicable, you waive the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content under Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU. This does not remove any mandatory consumer rights you have under the law of your country of residence.

8. Disclaimer of warranties & limitation of liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service is accurate or complete, that it covers every rule or jurisdiction, or that it is error-free.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including regulatory action, penalties or fines, lost sales or profits, or any loss arising from reliance on a flag, on the absence of a flag, or on a clean result. You are solely responsible for verifying your own listings and for obtaining professional advice. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or the listings or content you create or publish.

10. Intellectual property

The ComplyAds name, logo, design, codebase and underlying rule database are the intellectual property of the operator. You may not copy, reuse or redistribute them without permission. You retain all rights to the listings and content you create; we claim no ownership over the text you check.

11. Copyright

Because ComplyAds does not store or host the text you check, it does not host user content. If you believe the Service itself infringes your copyright, contact [email protected].

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections 8 (Disclaimer of warranties & limitation of liability), 9 (Indemnification) and 13 (Dispute resolution) survive termination.

13. Dispute resolution

If you have a dispute with us, please first contact [email protected] and allow at least 30 days to resolve it informally. Nothing in these Terms removes any mandatory consumer rights, or the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, where applicable law provides them.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Estonia, except where the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence apply.

15. Force majeure

Neither you nor the operator shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond reasonable control, including infrastructure or CDN outages, internet failures, or browser-vendor policy changes that affect the Service.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify active subscribers of material changes. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Disclaimer

Last updated: 16 August 2026

ComplyAds is an automated risk-screening tool, not legal advice. It checks listing and post wording against a limited set of common issues under EU, UK, Canadian, Australian and the codified parts of US advertising law, and flags what may warrant review. It does not certify compliance, does not cover every rule or jurisdiction, and a clean result is not a clearance. Flags are prompts to look more closely, not findings of breach — some will be fine on a second read.

ComplyAds is no substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Advertising and consumer-protection laws vary by jurisdiction; always consult a qualified professional in the markets you sell in. This disclaimer does not override any statutory or regulatory obligations that apply to you. You remain solely responsible for your own listings. Using ComplyAds creates no lawyer-client relationship.
