Third-Party Access
Who can see your data outside of RateAds and why.
We share as little data as possible with outside services. Here is the full list of third parties we use and what they see.
Service Providers
We use vendors for hosting, payments, email, and abuse detection. Each one signs a strict data agreement and only sees what they need to do their job.
Analytics and Ads
Our analytics tool runs on our servers and does not share data with third parties. We do not run paid ad networks on the site, so no ad-tech firms see your activity.
Legal Requests
When law enforcement sends a valid request, we may share specific data. We post the count of requests in our transparency report. We push back on overbroad requests.
