Guild Ads Privacy Policy

Guild Ads is designed to avoid cross-app tracking. The network measures publisher reach within each app rather than trying to build a network-wide profile of the same person across unrelated apps.

Publisher apps send an app-scoped user identifier that is hashed before storage. Guild Ads uses that hash to support weekly sticky assignments, per-app distinct user counts, and click/impression reporting inside the publisher app where the request happened.

Guild Ads stores serve attempts, impressions, clicks, and weekly unique-user assignments tied to the publisher app and placement. Those counts support delivery, reporting, fraud review, and publisher payout calculations.

Guild Ads does not attempt cross-publisher identity matching, does not build behavioral profiles across unrelated apps, and does not sell user-level audience segments to advertisers.

Guild Ads stores account, booking, payout, credit-ledger, and payment-provider references needed to operate the service. Payment card details are handled by Stripe rather than stored directly by Guild Ads.

Guild Ads keeps raw delivery and accounting rows long enough to support reporting, reconciliation, dispute handling, payout review, fraud analysis, and product operations. Retention periods may change as the system evolves.

Publishers are responsible for disclosing their use of Guild Ads inside their own app privacy materials where required by platform rules or local law.
