Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ONLINE BUSINESS GROUP INC operates Searchscope at https://keywordsandbanners.com. Contact admin@keywordsandbanners.com or write to 5716 Corsa Ave, Suite 207, Westlake Village, CA 91362, United States. This notice covers our website, accounts, research, campaigns and support, including information already held about earlier users. Paid services are for business use, with payment methods subject to location and bank eligibility.

2. Information we collect and use

Do not submit passwords, full card numbers, government identifiers, sensitive personal information or information about children in profiles, ads, research queries or support messages. Optional profile fields are not required to browse public pages. Account email and authentication information are needed for an account.

• Account and security information: email, optional name, password hash, sign-in/session records, verification and recovery records, encrypted authenticator secrets, hashed recovery codes and agreement records. We use this to provide accounts, protect access and record your choices.
• Business and service information: optional profile/billing contacts and addresses; search keywords, domains and URLs; cart and order choices; campaign budgets, banners, destinations, review messages and activity records. We use this to provide research, review and manage campaigns, and support your account.
• Payment and promotion information: payment references, amounts, status, receipts, confirmed balances, transfer reports, administrator verification records and promotional-credit activity. Bank transfers are initiated through your bank. We retain the information needed to reconcile payments, not online-banking passwords. Earlier test records remain distinguished from verified bank receipts.
• Technical and support information: IP addresses, request/error/security records, abuse-prevention identifiers and correspondence you send. We use these to operate and secure the service, answer requests, investigate problems and meet legal obligations.

3. Service providers and disclosures

Authorized staff and technical maintainers access information as needed for operation, support and security. We use OVHcloud hosting, our self-hosted email system, research-data providers and protected backup systems. Research queries send the keyword, domain or URL needed for the result to the data provider; avoid personal information or secrets in queries. Email delivery also involves the recipient's mail provider.

Banks and the selected transfer network process the payment information needed to execute your requested transfer. Approved ads and destinations are shared with delivery suppliers and displayed to audiences when campaigns run. We are responsible for the service sold to you; suppliers are not independent sellers collecting your payment through our platform.

Information may be stored or accessed outside your state or country through hosting, maintenance and backup operations. We may disclose necessary information to advisers, authorities when legally required, to protect rights/security, or in a business transfer with appropriate protections. We do not sell account information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in the current service.

4. Cookies and browser storage

We use an essential sign-in cookie and browser storage for cart selections and requested preferences. They support account access and keep your choices between visits. Sign-out ends the active session; browser controls can remove cookies and local storage, but doing so may sign you out or clear the cart. Removing browser data does not delete server records.

The current website has no installed advertising pixel, third-party behavioral analytics or cross-site audience tracking. Global Privacy Control does not disable necessary account/cart functions; there is currently no sale or cross-context sharing for it to stop. We will update the notice and implement any required choices before adding such processing. External destinations and payment-provider pages have their own practices.

5. Retention and security

We retain information for the account/service purpose, support, security, disputes and applicable recordkeeping. Financial and agreement evidence may need to remain after account closure. We review the purpose and applicable obligations when handling deletion requests; protected backup copies may remain until replaced under backup retention and are not used to reopen a closed account. We do not promise that closing an account instantly erases every copy.

We use access controls, password hashing, transport encryption and other safeguards appropriate to the service. No system can be guaranteed secure. Keep account credentials private and contact us promptly about suspected unauthorized access.

6. Your choices and requests

Email admin@keywordsandbanners.com to request access, a copy, correction, deletion or account closure, or to question a response. Account export is also available in Security & privacy. We verify identity proportionately, respond within applicable legal deadlines and explain any lawful reason we cannot fulfill all of a request. Where applicable, you may use an authorized agent, appeal a decision or complain to a regulator. We do not discriminate for exercising privacy rights.

The privacy rights available depend on applicable law and its scope; business contacts can also have privacy rights. This notice does not require a waiver of them. Account, security and enabled-campaign renewal funding reminders are service messages; accepting terms is not marketing consent. The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has supplied information.

7. Updates

We post updates with a new effective date and give additional notice when appropriate. A new purpose, recipient or tracking feature is assessed before use, with consent or choices where required.
