Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 18, 2025

Explosive Brains Ltd. (“Zero Ad Network”, “we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, share, and protect your information when you visit our websites (including https://zeroad.network), use our browser extension, sign up for services, or otherwise interact with us.

By using our services, installing our browser extension, subscribing to a plan, or enrolling a site as a Publisher, you agree to the practices outlined below.

1. What Information We Collect

1.1 Visitors Without Accounts

• We do not collect personal information from casual visitors browsing our site.
• No cookies or tracking technologies are used until you sign up or log in.

1.2 Registered Users

When you sign up or log in:

• Account Information: email address and authenticated identity details.

• Usage Telemetry (anonymized): from the browser extension only for subscribed users, including:
• Partner site hostname(s) you visit.
• Total time spent on partner sites.
• Page view counts per partner site ID.
  This telemetry is used only to fairly distribute subscription revenue to creators and is not linked to personal identifiers.

1.4 Cookies & Tracking

• We do not use cookies for tracking visitors without accounts.
• Cloudflare may set security‑related cookies for site protection and performance.
• After login, session cookies help maintain your authenticated session (expire after 7 days).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for:

• Service Delivery: to provide and improve ad‑free browsing and publisher revenue sharing.
• Payment & Subscription Management: processing payments via Stripe and maintaining subscription records.
• Support & Communication: sending account notices, support responses, or platform updates.

We do not sell or share personal data for third‑party marketing purposes.

3. How We Share Your Information

We share data only when necessary:

• With Stripe: to process subscription transactions.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (encryption, firewalls, secure storage) to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning your personal data:

Our services are not directed to children under the legal age in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we learn that personal data of a minor has been collected without consent, we will delete it.

7. International Data Transfers

By using our services, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to service providers or third parties in countries without the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure adequate protection for your data in accordance with applicable law.

8. Third‑Party Links & Services

Our platform may contain links to third‑party sites (e.g., Stripe, CDNs, support tools). We do not control their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle personal data.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined here, comply with laws, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Session cookies expire after 7 days; telemetry is retained to calculate monthly revenue distributions and cannot be linked back beyond what is necessary.
