Privacy policy

Who we are

distribution.dev is an ad network for developer publishers, built and run by daily.dev. This policy covers this website, the forms on it, and the ads we serve on publisher and partner sites. In it, "we" and "us" mean Daily Dev Ltd. (9 Derech HaTikva, Ganei Tikva 5591252, Israel), the company behind daily.dev that runs distribution.dev.

Questions or requests: collin@distribution.dev.

When you visit this site

• Server logs. Our hosting provider, Vercel, records standard request data such as IP address, browser and the pages requested, to run and secure the site.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how people find us. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland it runs without analytics cookies. Elsewhere it sets first-party analytics cookies. It is never used for advertising.
• We don't use advertising or retargeting cookies on this site.

When you fill in a form or book a call

Our publisher application is hosted by Typeform, which collects your answers for us. That can include your name and role, your email, your site or newsletter and its size, your topics and where your readers are. Typeform may save an answer as you go, so we can follow up if you don't finish. The form also passes along where you came from (the referring page and any campaign tags), so we know which pages bring applications.

Advertisers and agencies book a call through Cal.com, which collects your name, your email, the time you pick and anything you add to the booking, and passes on any campaign tags in the link.

We use your answers to reply, to review your site or plan your campaign, and to work with you if we go ahead.

When we show an ad

• We choose ads by what is on the page, in the issue or in the task: topic, surface, country and device type. We don't build profiles of individual readers.
• We record impressions and clicks to count and bill them, to filter invalid traffic such as bots and duplicates, and to keep any one ad from showing too often.
• Our ad server and dashboards are daily.dev's own ad technology.
• We use publishers' traffic and earnings only to serve, measure, report and pay for ads, and we never sell them.

When an advertiser uses our conversion pixel

Advertisers can add our pixel to their own site to count signups from their ads. After a visitor gives consent on that site, the pixel stores a click ID in a first-party cookie on the advertiser's domain for 30 days, so a signup can be credited to the ad click that led to it. Conversion events are kept for 30 days. The pixel doesn't use third-party cookies. The advertiser is responsible for asking for consent on their site.

Advertisers, agencies and publishers

When we work together, we keep the business contact details, billing details and correspondence we need to run campaigns, pay publishers and meet our tax and accounting duties.

Why we're allowed to use it

• To work with you: replying to your form, running a campaign or paying you.
• Legitimate interests: running and securing the site, measuring how it is used, serving and counting ads, and preventing fraud.
• Consent: the conversion pixel on advertisers' sites.
• Legal duties: keeping financial records.

Who we share it with

Only the providers that run things for us: Vercel (hosting), Typeform (forms), Cal.com (call booking), Google (analytics), and daily.dev (ad serving and dashboards). Each handles the data on our instructions. We don't sell personal data, and we share it with anyone else only when the law requires it. Some of these providers process data outside your country; where that happens, they use the safeguards the law requires.

How long we keep it

• Form answers: while we work together, and for a reasonable period afterwards if we don't.
• Conversion events: 30 days.
• Billing and payout records: as long as tax and accounting law requires.
• Server logs: for the short period our hosting provider keeps them.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, delete it, limit how we use it, or send you a copy. You can object to uses based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to collin@distribution.dev and we'll reply within the time the law allows. If you're unhappy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority.

This site and our services are for businesses and professionals, not for children.

Changes

When we change how we handle data, we update this page. Significant changes are also announced to the advertisers and publishers we work with.
