Introduction
CompetitionAds.com ("we," "our," or "us") is owned and operated by adyntel. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and Google Chrome extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Information We Collect
Chrome Extension Data
Our Chrome extension is free and does not require an account. It surfaces publicly available reach data from the Meta Ad Library and turns it into an estimated ad spend figure. The extension:
- Runs only on Meta Ad Library pages you open yourself (facebook.com/ads/library)
- Reads data that Meta already publishes publicly under the EU Digital Services Act
- Displays estimated ad spend directly on the Meta Ad Library interface
- Stores computed estimates in a local cache on your own device, so revisits are instant
- Sends no data to our servers while you browse the Ad Library
The extension does not read your Facebook account, your own ad accounts, your browsing history, or any site other than the Meta Ad Library.
Extension Identifier (only if you link an account)
If you choose to visit CompetitionAds.com to link an account, the extension generates a device identifier and sends it to us so we can associate your browser with your account. This identifier is derived from general browser characteristics and a random value. It is created and transmitted only when you visit our own website — never while you are using the Meta Ad Library. If you never link an account, it is never sent.
