The Short Version
If you don’t have time for the whole thing, here are the four things that actually matter:
- We collect what we need to run a placement and bill you. Not more.
- We do not sell your data. Ever. To anyone.
- We share data only with the tools we use to run our business (Stripe, email, time tracking, our CRM) and only as much as those tools need.
- You can ask us what we have on you, and you can ask us to delete it.
The rest of this page is the detail behind those four points.
1. Who’s Responsible for Your Data
Ad Snipper is the data controller for everything collected through adsnipper.com and through our client onboarding process.
Office: 770 Market St, Farmington, MO
Data contact: contact@adsnipper.com
If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you have specific rights spelled out lower on this page.
2. What We Collect
We collect three kinds of information.
Information you give us directly
When you fill out a contact form, book a call, or sign an agreement, you give us things like:
- Name, email, phone number
- Company name and role
- The role you want to fill and how many hours
- Billing details (handled through Stripe, not stored on our servers)
- Whatever else is in your signed agreement
Information we collect automatically when you visit our site
Standard web stuff:
- IP address and rough location (country and city, not your house)
- Browser type, device type, operating system
- Pages you visited, how you got there, how long you stayed
- Cookies and similar tracking technology (see Section 6)
Information from working together
Once you’re a client, we hold things like:
- Invoices and payment history
- Communication with your account manager
- Time tracking reports from your assigned associate
- Any briefs, SOPs, or materials you share with us to do the work
3. Why We Collect It
Each piece of data has a job. We don’t collect things “just in case.”
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Contact details | To respond to inquiries, send proposals, and run your account |
| Billing details | To invoice you and process payments |
| Site analytics | To understand which pages help and which don’t |
| Communication records | To resolve disputes and improve service |
| Time tracking | To bill accurately and show you what hours were worked |
If we ever want to use your data for something not listed here, we’ll ask first.
5. Where Your Data Lives
Ad Snipper is based in Pakistan with administrative operations in the United States. Our placed associates also work from Pakistan. Some of our service providers (Stripe, Google, the email platform we use) store data in the US, EU, or globally distributed servers.
By working with us, you understand that your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including Pakistan and the United States. We use providers that maintain industry-standard safeguards.
7. How Long We Keep It
The honest answer is: as long as we need to, then we delete it.
- Active client data: Kept for the duration of the engagement plus seven years (tax and audit requirements).
- Prospect data: Kept for two years from last contact, then deleted unless you ask us to keep it.
- Marketing list: Until you unsubscribe, plus a short period to honor the unsubscribe request.
- Site analytics: Aggregated after 26 months.
You can ask us to delete sooner. Some records (invoices, tax documents) we’re legally required to keep regardless.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your data. We honor them regardless of where you live, because it’s the right way to operate.
You can ask us to:
- Show you what we have on you
- Correct anything that’s wrong
- Delete what we hold (within legal limits)
- Stop using your data for marketing
- Export your data in a portable format
- Object to certain kinds of processing
To make any of these requests, email contact@adsnipper.com. We’ll respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity first, so we don’t accidentally hand your data to someone else.
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA. EU and UK residents have rights under GDPR. Both are covered above. If you feel we’ve mishandled a request, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
9. How We Protect It
We do the basics seriously:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the site
- Access to client data limited to staff who need it
- Two-factor authentication on internal tools
- Background checks on placed associates
- NDAs signed by every team member
- Regular review of who has access to what
No system is unbreakable. If something does go wrong and your data is exposed in a way that creates real risk, we’ll tell you and the relevant authority within 72 hours, in line with GDPR.
10. Children
Our services are for businesses. We don’t market to anyone under 18 and don’t knowingly collect data from minors. If you think we have data about a child, email us and we’ll delete it.
11. Changes to This Policy
We update this page when our practices change or the law changes. The date at the top tells you when. For material changes, active clients get an email. For minor changes (typos, clarifications), we just update the page.
If you keep using our service after a change, that counts as acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Contact

Email: contact@adsnipper.com
