Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is protected โ€” in plain English, not legal jargon.

Last updated: 1 April 2025

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your email address and display name (if provided). We use Firebase Authentication โ€” your password is never stored by us directly.

Ad Content

When you post an ad, we store the content you provide: title, description, category, phone number, email address, PIN code, city, district, and state.

Payment Information

Paid plan payments are processed entirely by Razorpay. We do not store your card details. We only retain the payment ID, order ID, and amount for our records.

Usage Data

We may collect basic usage data such as page views and clicks to understand how users interact with the platform. This data is anonymised and never sold.

How We Use Your Information

To operate the platform

Your account details and ad content are used solely to provide the StickMyAd service โ€” publishing your ads, managing your account, and processing payments.

To communicate with you

We may send transactional emails related to your account, such as ad approval or rejection notifications. We do not send marketing emails without your consent.

To prevent abuse

We may use account and activity data to detect spam, fraudulent listings, or violations of our Terms of Service.

What Is Publicly Visible

Ad listings

Your ad title, description, category, location (city, district, state), and contact details (phone/email) are publicly visible to anyone browsing StickMyAd. Please only share contact details you are comfortable making public.

What is not visible

Your account email (used for login), internal user ID, payment details, and IP address are never shown publicly.

Cookies & Local Storage

Authentication

Firebase Authentication uses browser storage to keep you logged in between sessions. This is essential for the platform to function.

No advertising cookies

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. We do not serve behavioural ads.

๐Ÿ”

Data Security

Storage

All data is stored on Google Cloud (Firebase / Firestore), which provides enterprise-grade encryption at rest and in transit.

Access control

Access to your data is restricted. Only you can edit or delete your own ads. Admin access is limited to authorised personnel only.

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Data Retention & Deletion

Ad expiry

Ads are automatically expired after 30 days from approval. Expired ads are archived and removed from public view.

Account deletion

To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact us at support@stickmyad.com. We will process your request within 7 business days.

๐Ÿ”—

Third-Party Services

Firebase (Google)

We use Firebase for authentication and data storage. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed through Firebase.

Razorpay

Payments are processed by Razorpay. Razorpay's privacy policy governs how your payment data is handled.

Postal PIN API

When you enter a PIN code, we call the India Post API to auto-fill your district and state. No personal data is sent โ€” only the PIN code itself.

Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The 'Last Updated' date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of StickMyAd after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
