What Data We Collect
Account Information: Your email address and password (encrypted) are used for account creation, authentication, and communication.
Meta Ad Account Data: If you connect a Meta ad account, we access campaign performance data — including campaign names, objectives, budgets, spend, impressions, clicks, and conversion data — solely to provide analysis and auditing features.
Content You Create: Saved ads, remixed ad concepts, creative analyses, campaign audits, and similar content you generate or save through ArgoAds are stored in our database and are visible only to your account. We do not share this content with, or make it visible to, other users.
Payment Information: Payment card details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe. ArgoAds does not receive or store your full card number.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you use ArgoAds features to maintain, secure, and improve the service.
How We Use Your Data
Campaign Analysis & Auditing: Your connected campaign data is analyzed to provide performance insights, scoring, and optimization recommendations.
Competitor Intelligence & Creative Generation: Publicly available third-party advertising content is processed to power Voyage (discovery) and Remix (AI-generated creative concepts) for your account. See our Terms of Service for more on how third-party ad content is used.
Account & Billing Management: Your email and subscription status are used to manage your account, process payments, and enforce plan-based feature access.
Fraud & Abuse Prevention: We retain a one-way cryptographic hash (not the plain email address) of email addresses associated with deleted accounts, solely to prevent repeated free-trial abuse. This hash cannot be reversed to reveal your email and is not used for any other purpose.
Product Improvement: Usage patterns and feedback help us enhance ArgoAds features and reliability.
Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third-party service providers to operate ArgoAds. Each processes a limited scope of data solely as necessary to provide their function:
Supabase: Database hosting, authentication, and file storage.
Stripe: Payment processing and subscription billing. Stripe handles your payment details directly; ArgoAds does not store full card numbers.
Resend: Transactional email delivery (account confirmation, password reset, and related account emails).
Apify: Infrastructure used to retrieve publicly available advertising data for Voyage.
OpenRouter: Routes AI processing requests (used for Remix generation, Creative Analysis scoring, and related AI-powered features) to underlying AI model providers. Content you submit for AI-powered features may be processed by OpenRouter and its underlying model providers solely to generate your requested output.
Meta: If you choose to connect a Meta ad account, we access campaign data via Meta's API with your authorization.
We may add additional analytics or service providers (such as Google Analytics) in the future. If we do, we will update this policy accordingly.
Data Retention
We retain your account and campaign data for as long as you maintain an active ArgoAds account. This includes competitor ad information you save or generate through Voyage and Remix (such as ad copy, headlines, and metadata), which is retained until you delete the associated content or your account.
ArgoAds does not host or store the underlying video files for competitor ads. Video content is retrieved and displayed via links to the original hosting platform (such as Meta's ad delivery network), which controls its own access and expiration for that content independently of ArgoAds.
Historical campaign performance data may be anonymized and aggregated for product improvement purposes, in a form that does not identify you.
Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through your account settings. Upon deletion, we permanently remove your account, authentication credentials, and associated application data (campaigns, saved ads, remixes, analyses, and credit history) from our active systems.
As described above, we retain a one-way hash of your email address after deletion solely to prevent repeated free-trial abuse. This hash does not identify you and cannot be used to reconstruct your email address or any other personal data.
We may retain limited information where required by law (for example, billing records required for tax or accounting purposes).
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws — including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Canada's PIPEDA, and Australia's Privacy Act — to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
You can access and export most of your data directly through your account. To exercise any other privacy right, or if you have questions about how your data is handled, contact us at support@argoads.app. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
