00 Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Adpurgez ("Adpurgez", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our TikTok advertising management dashboard and related services (the "Service").
Adpurgez is a tool that lets businesses connect their own TikTok ad accounts and manage their advertising. We access TikTok data only on your behalf and only to provide the features you use. We do not sell your data.
01 Who we are
The Service is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], located at [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. For any privacy-related question you can reach us at purge@adpurgez.com.
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Adpurgez acts as a data controller for account and billing information, and as a data processor for the advertising data we handle on your behalf when you connect a TikTok ad account.
02 Data we collect
We collect only what we need to operate the Service:
Account information
- Your name and email address.
- A hashed password (if you sign in with email and password) or an identifier from your chosen sign-in provider.
- Workspace and team details, including the email addresses of users you invite.
Billing information
- Plan and subscription status.
- Billing contact details. Card and payment details are handled by our payment processor — Adpurgez does not store full payment card numbers on its servers.
TikTok advertising data
When you connect a TikTok ad account, we access advertising data through the official TikTok Marketing API, including:
- Ad account identifiers, names, currency, and balance information.
- Campaigns, ad groups, ads, and their settings (objectives, budgets, schedules, targeting, placements).
- Creatives you upload or reference, and creative metadata.
- Identities, instant forms, instant pages, and pixels associated with your accounts.
- Performance and reporting metrics such as spend, impressions, clicks, and conversions.
Technical & usage data
- IP address, browser type, device information, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Log data such as pages viewed, actions taken in the dashboard, and timestamps.
- Diagnostic data needed to keep the Service secure and reliable.
03 TikTok OAuth tokens
When you connect a TikTok ad account, TikTok issues Adpurgez an access token (and, where applicable, a refresh token) that allows the Service to act on your behalf via the TikTok Marketing API.
We handle these tokens as follows:
- Purpose-limited. Tokens are used only to perform actions you initiate in Adpurgez — for example, reading your campaigns or creating an ad — within the scopes you authorized during connection.
- Encrypted at rest. Tokens are stored encrypted in our database and are never exposed in our front-end code, URLs, logs, or to other customers.
- Never sold or shared. We do not sell tokens or share them with third parties except infrastructure providers strictly necessary to run the Service.
- Revocable at any time. You can disconnect an ad account from within Adpurgez, which deletes the associated tokens from our systems. You may also revoke access directly from your TikTok account settings.
We request the minimum set of API permissions (scopes) needed for the features you use. If a feature requires additional scopes, you will be asked to re-authorize before it is enabled.
04 How we use your data
| Purpose | Data used |
|---|---|
| Provide and operate the dashboard | Account info, TikTok advertising data, OAuth tokens |
| Authenticate and secure your account | Account info, technical data |
| Process subscriptions and billing | Billing info |
| Display reporting and performance metrics | TikTok advertising data |
| Provide support and respond to requests | Account info, usage data |
| Improve reliability and prevent abuse | Technical & usage data |
| Meet legal and tax obligations | Account & billing info |
We do not use your advertising data to build advertising profiles of you, and we do not sell your data to anyone.
05 Storage & security
Your data is stored on our hosting infrastructure and protected with industry-standard measures, including encryption of sensitive fields (such as OAuth tokens), encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls limiting who on our team can access production systems, and routine backups.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and to limit the data we retain to what is necessary.
06 Sharing & disclosure
We share data only in these limited circumstances:
- With TikTok, through the Marketing API, to carry out the advertising actions you request.
- With service providers who help us operate the Service (for example, hosting and payment processing), bound by confidentiality obligations and only for the purpose of providing their service to us.
- For legal reasons, where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Adpurgez, our users, or others.
- In a business transfer, if Adpurgez is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify affected users.
We never sell your personal information or your advertising data.
07 Data retention
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
- Account data is kept while your account is active.
- OAuth tokens are kept while the corresponding ad account is connected, and are deleted when you disconnect the account or close your account.
- Advertising data cached for reporting is retained for a limited period and refreshed from TikTok; it is removed when you disconnect the account or on request.
- Billing records may be retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws.
- Logs and diagnostic data are retained for a short, rolling window for security and troubleshooting.
When you close your account, we delete or anonymize your data within [NUMBER] days, except where we are required to retain certain records by law.
08 Deletion requests
You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing purge@adpurgez.com from the address associated with your account, or by deleting your account from within the dashboard.
On a verified deletion request we will:
- Disconnect any connected TikTok ad accounts and delete the associated OAuth tokens.
- Delete your account information, workspace data, and cached advertising data from our systems.
- Confirm completion to you, typically within [NUMBER] days.
Deleting your data within Adpurgez does not delete the underlying campaigns or assets in your TikTok ad account — those remain in TikTok and are managed under TikTok's own policies. You can also revoke Adpurgez's access directly in your TikTok account settings.
09 Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact purge@adpurgez.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
10 Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and keep the Service secure. We do not use third-party advertising cookies on the dashboard. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect functionality.
11 Children
The Service is a business tool intended for users aged 18 and over. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
12 Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
