Drive-Buy Ads

Privacy Policy

How Drive-Buy Ads handles personal information for advertisers, drivers, and partners.

1. Introduction

Drive-Buy Ads ("Drive-Buy Ads," "we," "us," or "our") operates a digital platform that connects advertisers with independent drivers for vehicle-based advertising placements (for example, magnetic signs, decals, or wraps, depending on the campaign). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). It applies whether you are an advertiser, driver, administrator, print installer, or visitor. By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy together with our Terms of Service.

2. Information we collect

Account and profile information

We may collect identifiers and profile details such as:

  • Name, email address, and phone number where you provide them
  • Authentication and session data when you sign in (including through third-party sign-in methods you choose)
  • Business or organization details you submit for advertiser onboarding and approvals

Campaign, creative, and commercial data

For advertisers and campaign workflows, we may process:

  • Campaign configuration (markets, schedules, vehicle counts, materials, pricing, and related rules)
  • Uploaded marketing materials (for example, PDFs, images, or other files you submit for production or review)
  • Records of approvals, edits, status changes, and internal notes needed to operate reviews and fulfillment
  • Billing and payment-related information as processed by us or our payment partners

Driver, vehicle, and verification data

  • Identity, license, insurance, registration, or other documents you submit where required for verification
  • Install proofs, dispute messages, and payout-related records associated with your account
  • Location, mileage, or activity signals where enabled to verify campaign requirements (for example, GPS-based verification)
  • Payment account identifiers needed to pay you (for example, information required by our payout provider)

Communications and support

If you contact us or use in-product messaging, we collect the content of those communications, metadata (such as timestamps), and information needed to respond and maintain service quality.

Automatically collected information

We may automatically collect:

  • IP address, device type, browser type, and operating system
  • Usage data, diagnostics, performance metrics, and security logs

3. How we use your information

We use information to:

  • Process payments, payouts, fees, credits, and related accounting
  • Communicate with you about the Service (including transactional notices, support, and policy updates)
  • Analyze usage in aggregate to improve reliability and product design
  • Comply with law and enforce our agreements

4. How we share information

We may share information when:

  • To operate a campaign, such as sharing limited advertiser or creative details with matched or prospective drivers, and sharing limited driver or vehicle details with advertisers or fulfillment partners where needed to complete installs
  • With your consent or at your direction, including when you request introductions or share materials through the Service
  • With service providers who process data on our behalf (for example, hosting, authentication, payments, payouts, email delivery, storage, analytics, maps, or security vendors)
  • For legal reasons, if we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
  • In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets
  • To protect rights and safety, including to protect Drive-Buy Ads, our users, or the public

5. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party services that may collect or process information under their own policies. Categories may include:

  • Cloud hosting, databases, and application infrastructure
  • Object storage or content delivery for uploaded files and images
  • Authentication and account security providers
  • Payment processing and payout providers
  • Email and notification delivery providers
  • Maps, geocoding, or location-related APIs where used
  • Product analytics or reliability monitoring tools

We encourage you to review the privacy notices of services you interact with directly (for example, your bank or wallet provider when making a payment).

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure performance, reduce fraud, and improve the Service. You can control some cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may impact functionality (such as staying logged in).

7. Data security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary based on the type of data, the nature of our relationship with you, and whether a record is needed for safety, accounting, or compliance reasons.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as:

  • Access: Request access to certain personal information we hold
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of certain information, subject to exceptions (such as records we must retain by law)

  • Objection or restriction: Object to or ask us to restrict certain processing, where applicable

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
