Privacy at UGC Briefs

You can browse campaigns without an account.

Site activity

We count page views, clicks to campaign platforms, broad traffic sources, and page-performance ratings to improve the site. We collect the page path, not its query string or fragment. We do not record the text you type into forms.

To estimate daily visitors, the server briefly uses your network address and browser information to create a daily identifier with a secret salt. Raw addresses and browser strings are not saved in the analytics database. Identifiers change every day. On each recorded visit, identifiers older than yesterday and aggregate counts older than 90 days are removed. These estimates can combine people on a shared network or count someone again when they change networks or browsers.

No advertising cookies or persistent visitor IDs are used for the basic daily counters. A browser tab can retain a broad source category for up to 30 minutes, without an identifier. Known bots and browsers sending Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are excluded from our analytics. This filtering cannot identify every bot. Normal network requests still reach the server.

Where visits come from

We record the public referring website’s domain, not its full URL, subdomain, path or query. We also recognize approved source, medium, campaign and placement tags in shared links; arbitrary tags and search terms are discarded. A tab keeps its entry page and attribution for up to 30 minutes. These details are aggregated with page views, campaign clicks and signup steps for up to 90 days. If analytics collection is allowed when you sign up, validated attribution is saved with the subscription for up to 90 days so a later confirmation can be attributed correctly, including on another device. Deleting the subscription removes that saved attribution; anonymous totals remain subject to the analytics retention period. Privacy signals and owner exclusions still apply.

Approximate country

We use a country database on our own server to estimate the country of a visit from its network address. We store only country codes and aggregate views, campaign clicks and daily visitor estimates. Raw addresses are not saved in analytics or sent to a geolocation service. Country data is approximate: VPNs and mobile networks can report a different country. We do not collect GPS location, age or gender. The same analytics exclusions and retention periods apply. IP Geolocation by DB-IP, using its Lite database under CC BY 4.0.

Optional journey analytics

If you choose “Allow analytics,” we use PostHog to understand browsing journeys and repeat visits. A random browser cookie lasts up to 90 days. We send public page paths, broad traffic source, campaign clicks, signup steps, filter categories and search result-count ranges. We do not send email addresses, search text, form contents, private links, raw network addresses or browser strings. Session recording is off. Only visitors who allow this measurement appear in PostHog funnels and return-visit reports, so those reports do not represent all visitors. You can turn it off below; this deletes the browser cookie and stops future optional events. Existing events are not retroactively removed by changing this choice. PostHog processes the optional events in its US region. Basic on-site counters remain separate.

Private dashboard

The owner dashboard uses a secure sign-in cookie lasting up to seven days. Signing in also sets a one-year preference cookie to exclude that browser’s activity from analytics. Neither cookie is used to track public visitors.

Saved campaigns

Your saved campaigns are stored in your browser, without an account. A list link contains the public campaign references you chose. Anyone you give that link to can open the list. It is a snapshot, not automatic account syncing. Opening the list asks our server for current public campaign details; we do not create a saved-list account or database record. The list page is excluded from site analytics.

Campaign emails

If you subscribe, we store the details needed to deliver and manage the emails you request. Read the campaign email privacy notice for retention, delivery, and deletion details.

Google search data

We import aggregate search performance from Google Search Console. It reports searches, impressions, clicks, and average positions; it does not identify individual visitors to us.
