1. Who we are
This Privacy Policy describes how GAO ADS ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with GAO ADS (the "Service").
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), we may act as a "data controller" for certain data and as a "data processor" for data that we handle on behalf of our clients.
2. Information we collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Account information: name, business email address, login identifiers and similar details provided by you or your organization.
- Advertising data: metrics and insights retrieved from TikTok Ads or other ad platforms, such as costs, impressions, clicks, conversions, and campaign names.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device and operating system information, and basic usage logs.
- Support information: any information you voluntarily provide when you contact us for support.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data (such as health, biometric or financial account information) through the Service.
3. How we use information (legal bases)
We process data for the following purposes and legal bases:
- To provide and maintain the Service – including pulling advertising data from connected platforms and displaying reports and analytics to you (GDPR legal basis: performance of a contract / legitimate interests).
- To secure and improve the Service – monitoring for abuse, troubleshooting errors, and improving features (GDPR legal basis: legitimate interests).
- To communicate with you – sending important notices, updates, and responding to support requests (GDPR legal basis: performance of a contract / legitimate interests).
- To comply with legal obligations – accounting, record-keeping, and responding to lawful requests from authorities.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The Service may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain sessions, store preferences, and understand how the Service is used.
Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
5. How we share information
We may share data with:
- Service providers that help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics, or logging providers), subject to appropriate data protection agreements.
- Advertising platforms such as TikTok, only as needed to retrieve or sync data in accordance with your settings and their own terms and policies.
- Authorities or third parties when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights and the rights of others.
We do not sell personal information as "selling" is defined under the CCPA.
6. International transfers
Because we operate globally, your data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
7. Data retention
We retain data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
When data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it in a commercially reasonable manner.
8. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request deletion of your personal data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.

9. Children’s privacy
The Service is intended for use by business users and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.
10. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored using the Service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
