Privacy policy

Adverts runs this website, advertsio.com, and is the controller of the personal data described here. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean Adverts.

You can reach us at create@advertsio.com or on +92 300 5571814.

When you use the contact form we collect the details you type in:

• your name and email address
• your company, if you give it
• what you need from us
• your message

We add a lead ID, the time you sent it and the page it came from, so we can find it again.

If you email, message or call us, we keep what you send us and the contact details you used.

Our host, Vercel, processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time, so the site can be delivered and kept secure. The contact form also limits how often one address can submit it; that count is held in memory for about ten minutes and is not saved.

This site does not set cookies and does not use analytics, advertising or social media tracking scripts. We serve our fonts from our own server.

Some pages show photographs hosted by Unsplash. Your browser asks Unsplash for those images directly, so Unsplash can see your IP address and browser details under its own policy.

If we add analytics or cookies later, we will update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

• to reply to your enquiry and talk about your project
• to prepare proposals and agreements you ask for
• to keep a record of our conversations
• to keep the site secure and stop abuse

We do not sell your personal data. We do not send marketing emails unless you ask us to.

We use a small number of service providers to run the site and handle enquiries:

• Vercel hosts the website and the service that receives contact form submissions.
• Google Sheets stores each enquiry in a spreadsheet, and our email provider, SpaceMail, delivers the notification email to us. The next section explains exactly how.
• Unsplash serves some photographs, as described above.

These providers handle data only to provide their service to us. We may also share data when the law requires it.

When you send the contact form, two things happen:

• Google Sheets. A service account owned by Adverts adds the enquiry as a new row in a spreadsheet that Adverts owns, through Google’s Sheets API. The service account can only reach the spreadsheet we have shared with it.
• Email. Our contact service sends one notification email from Adverts’ own mailbox, hosted by our email provider SpaceMail, to create@advertsio.com. The email contains what you wrote in the form, so we can reply to you.

Visitors do not sign in with Google or connect any account to this site, and we do not access your Google account or anyone else’s.

The service account key and the mailbox login are kept as protected settings at our host, Vercel, and are used only by the service that handles contact form submissions. They are never sent to your browser. We do not use enquiries for advertising and we do not sell them. Only the Adverts team reads them.

We keep an enquiry for up to 24 months after our last message, then delete it, including its row in the spreadsheet and the notification email in our mailbox. If you become a client, we keep what we need for the work, our records and legal obligations for as long as they require.

You can ask us to:

• tell you what personal data we hold about you
• correct anything that is wrong
• delete your data
• stop using your data for a purpose you object to

Email create@advertsio.com and we will answer within 30 days. We aim to meet the data protection rules that apply to you, including the GDPR if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, and you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Our providers run servers in several countries, so your data may be processed outside the country where you live. We choose providers that protect data in transit and at rest, and we keep access to enquiries limited to the people who need it.

No system is completely secure. Please do not send passwords, payment card numbers or other sensitive information through the contact form.

This site is for businesses and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top.
