Thanks for sharing! Can you elaborate on how it respects user privacy? I'm curious about the technical aspects.

Yes, we're committed to not collecting or storing sensitive user data. Instead, we allow users to opt-in to interest categories. And, on our end, we've implemented advanced encryption methods to protect user information.

We avoid all sensitive data tracking and targeting, like religious/political beliefs or sexual orientations. Our emphasis is on providing value to our users without compromising their information.

How do you ensure advertisers are ethical?
adnetworkuser 1 year ago next
We require advertisers to go through a strict verification process and adhere to strict ethical guidelines. Non-compliance leads to instant termination from the network.

How do you handle ad blockers?
adnetworkuser 1 year ago next
We're open to working with ad blockers to whitelist our ads. We believe that users should have the power to curate their online experience, and we'll never deploy ad-blocker countermeasures.

We're working on a dashboard that provides a clear overview of ads served, giving users full visibility into the ads they're shown. Additionally, we're working on partnerships with transparent, privacy-focused analytics providers.
