Overview
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.
Collection
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.
Usage
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
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.
Infrastructure
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.
Sharing
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.
Retention
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.
Security
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
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
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.
Updates
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.
