PRIVACY & ADVERTISING

Your data and your choices.

This notice explains the information Ident.ink and its advertising provider may process, the technologies involved and the controls available to visitors.

Last updated: 16 July 2026

Ident.ink account data

Ident.ink processes the account, security, project, communication and billing identifiers needed to provide the service. Complete payment-card and recipient bank details are processed by Stripe and are not stored by Ident.ink. Security records may include hashed network addresses, browser information, login events and audit records.

Where Google advertising can appear

Google advertising code is limited to substantial, publisher-authored public pages such as the homepage, About page, Transparency page and individually reviewed Ident.ink news articles. It is not loaded on dashboards, account or billing pages, authentication screens, support, tools, private pages, user profiles, professional-network content or user-published websites. Paid, trial, partner, founder and administrator accounts do not receive the advertising code.

Advertising cookies and identifiers

Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies, use web beacons, process IP addresses or use other identifiers when serving and measuring ads. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on visits to Ident.ink and other sites, subject to the visitor’s consent choices and Google’s applicable privacy controls.

Learn how Google uses information from partner sites at Google’s partner-sites notice.

Consent and personalised advertising

Ident.ink requires a consent message configured through Google’s certified Consent Management Platform and current IAB Transparency and Consent Framework integration before advertising is enabled. For visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, and anywhere else consent is required, advertising choices must be collected before personalised advertising is served. Similar privacy messages or restricted-data-processing controls may be presented where other regional rules apply.

You can review or opt out of personalised Google advertising through Google Ads Settings. Browser settings may also block or remove cookies, although doing so can affect some site functionality.

We do not send account identity to advertisers

Ident.ink does not intentionally send names, email addresses, private messages, payment details or other directly identifying account data to Google through ad requests. Advertising eligibility is reduced to a local yes-or-no decision after the Ident.ink billing API confirms that an account is anonymous or on the Free plan.

Access, deletion and questions

Signed-in users can manage communication and security preferences from Settings and request an account-data export or deletion through the available account controls. Advertising and privacy questions can be sent through Ident.ink Support or to security@ident.ink.
