Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What This Policy Covers

RejectedByAdSense.com is a site audit tool that helps website owners find out exactly why Google AdSense rejected their site — and what to fix. This policy is plain language: it tells you what we collect when you use the tool, why we collect it, who else sees it, and what control you have over it. We are a small independent team, not a data company. We collect what is necessary to run the service and nothing beyond that.

What We Actually Collect

If you run a free audit without an account, the only thing we receive is the URL you submit. Our backend fetches and scans that URL across 79 checks in 11 categories — content, policy & legal, technical, UI/UX, SEO & indexability, traffic quality, domain & hosting, ad implementation, E-E-A-T, Core Web Vitals, and AI content detection — then returns your results. That is the whole exchange for guest users. If you create an account, we collect your name and email address. Passwords are hashed before storage — we never hold your password in plain text. If you sign up via Google OAuth, we receive only your name and email from Google. For paid Plus or Pro plans, billing is handled entirely by Paddle; we never see or store your card number, CVV, or any raw payment details. Paddle processes the transaction and confirms it to our backend via a webhook. We also receive standard technical data automatically — your IP address, browser type, and device type — through normal server logs.

Why We Use Your Information

Your email and name are used to manage your account, send you a verification email when you sign up, and contact you about your subscription if something needs attention — such as a failed payment or plan change. The URLs you submit for auditing are used solely to run the scan. We do not index submitted URLs publicly, build profiles from them, or share them. Technical data like your IP address helps us enforce the free plan's daily scan limit, detect abuse, and keep the service stable. We do not use any of this to build advertising profiles or track your behaviour across other websites. We will never sell your personal information to anyone.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use two categories of browser storage. Essential storage keeps the site working: your login token and basic account data are held in your browser's localStorage so you stay signed in between sessions. Your cookie consent choice is also saved locally so we do not ask you again on each visit. Optional analytics storage is currently reserved but not yet active — we have built a consent gate so that if we ever introduce analytics scripts in the future, they will only load if you have opted in. Right now, no third-party analytics scripts are running on this site. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer, or by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.

How the Service Is Built

Our backend API runs on Render.com, a cloud hosting platform based in the United States. When you submit a URL, your request is sent to our backend server, which runs the 79-check audit and returns your scored report. Paddle handles all subscription billing — if you are a paying user, your billing data lives on Paddle's servers and is governed by Paddle's Privacy Policy. Transactional emails such as account verification and password resets are sent via an email delivery provider. If you sign up with Google, Google's OAuth service handles that authentication exchange. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and may only use your data for the specific purpose of providing the service we engaged them for.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or broker your personal data. The only parties that ever receive your information are the infrastructure providers above — Render for backend hosting, Paddle for billing, our email delivery provider for transactional messages, and Google if you use OAuth to sign in. Each of these receives only the minimum data needed to do their job. We may also disclose data if required by law — for example, in response to a valid court order. Where we are permitted to do so, we would notify you before complying.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Account data — your name, email, and saved audit history — is kept for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or ask us to remove your data, we will do that promptly, and your saved audit results go with it. Billing records may need to be retained for a period after account closure to meet legal or tax obligations. If you used the tool as a guest with no account, we do not retain any identifiable record of your session once the scan is complete.

How We Protect Your Data

All communication between your browser and our backend is encrypted over HTTPS. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes — we never hold the plain-text version. Authentication uses short-lived JWT tokens. Payment details never reach our servers at all; they go directly to Paddle. No internet system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot make an unconditional guarantee. If we ever became aware of a breach that affected your personal data, we would notify you as quickly as possible.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You can ask us to show you the personal data we hold, correct anything inaccurate, or delete your account and everything attached to it. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing, and to receive your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe — typically within a few days, and never more than 30.

Children's Privacy

This tool is built for website owners and publishers. It is not directed at, or intended for, anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has created an account or submitted data through this service, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

If we make meaningful changes to this policy — such as adding a new third-party service or changing how we handle your data — we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify account holders by email. Continuing to use the site after an update means you have accepted the revised terms. We will always keep this page as a plain-English description of what is actually happening, not a document designed to hide things.

Questions About Your Privacy?

If you have questions about this policy or want to request access to or deletion of your data, reach out and we'll respond promptly.
