AmberAds Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 1, 2025

1. Introduction

This document outlines the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy governing the use of the AmberAds platform.

By accessing or using any part of the AmberAds platform, you automatically accept and agree to the provisions set forth herein. If you do not agree to these terms, you are not authorized to use the service.

2. Platform Description

AmberAds is a platform designed to facilitate advertising within the Telegram audience. Advertisers initiate campaigns by defining targeting, budget, and content. Based on this input, the AmberAds platform autonomously generates offers and distributes them to selected Telegram publishers based on criteria such as audience size, category, engagement metrics, and other internal parameters.

The platform itself is accessed via web or Telegram-based interfaces. However, all advertisements are published exclusively within the Telegram platform.

3. User Roles and Registration

AmberAds operates with two distinct user roles:

  • Advertisers: Entities or individuals that create advertising campaigns to promote their own or third-party products or services.
  • Publishers: Owners of Telegram channels who agree to publish sponsored content as part of the platform’s offer system.

To register an account, users must provide a valid and verifiable email address. By registering, users confirm they are at least 16 years of age and that the information provided is accurate and complete.

4. Offer Mechanism and Financial Terms

Once a campaign is created by an advertiser, the platform processes the campaign data and generates offers to eligible publishers. Publishers may choose to accept or ignore these offers.

Upon acceptance of an offer by a publisher:

  • The corresponding budget amount is frozen and cannot be refunded under normal conditions.
  • Funds are held until the advertisement is executed in accordance with the platform's guidelines.
  • Refunds will only be issued in cases where the publisher demonstrably violates posting conditions, such as:
    • Failing to publish the ad,
    • Modifying the content without authorization,
    • Removing the ad prematurely before the end timestamp,

All other cases are considered final, and the platform retains the right to determine refund eligibility solely at its discretion.

5. Publisher Requirements

To enable offer delivery and ad publishing:

  • The publisher must add the official AmberAds Telegram bot and the official AmberAds Telegram user account as administrators of the channel intended for ad placement.
  • These admin permissions must be restricted to the minimal level required for offer validation and post verification.
  • The channel may be public or private. However, administrative access for both bot and platform account is mandatory for participation.

In order to operate the AmberAds platform and validate advertisement delivery, the official AmberAds Telegram bot may perform the following actions within a connected Telegram channel:

  • Publish and remove advertisement posts
  • Collect engagement metrics (such as views, reactions)
  • Validate post presence and timing

    These actions are strictly limited to platform-related operations. The bot does not perform any unrelated administrative or content functions.

6. Data Collection

AmberAds collects and processes the following categories of data:

Data Provided by Users:

  • Email address (for registration and communication purposes)
  • Role (advertiser or publisher)

8. Use of Publicly Available Data

AmberAds may collect and process data from public sources, particularly public Telegram channels and user profiles, to improve its internal analytics and algorithms.

This information is collected in accordance with the source platform’s public access policies.

9. Audience Analysis of Connected Channels

When a publisher connects a Telegram channel to the platform, AmberAds may automatically analyze:

  • Follower counts and growth trends
  • Post reach and interaction levels
  • Content consistency and category alignment

AmberAds may analyze information accessible to the administrator of a connected Telegram channel (such as audience metrics, activity levels, or posting history) in order to assess channel performance and improve service quality. This analysis is limited to data legitimately available to the publisher through the Telegram interface.

Such analysis is used solely for offer qualification and pricing calibration. No direct communication is made with the channel's followers or audience

10. Third-Party Services

AmberAds may integrate with third-party services such as:

  • Google Analytics
  • Yandex Metrica

These services may collect data through cookies and tracking scripts. By using AmberAds, users agree to the processing of their data by such providers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

11. Data Retention Policy

AmberAds retains personal data only for as long as it is needed to fulfill its operational and legal requirements, including:

  • Active account management
  • Campaign history logs
  • Platform analytics

Inactive or unverified accounts may be deleted after 12 months of inactivity. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained for longer periods for analytical purposes.

12. Data Security

AmberAds implements commercially reasonable measures to safeguard user data, including:

  • Encrypted data storage
  • Network and server security controls
  • Access control and authentication policies

While reasonable efforts are made, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed as completely secure.

AmberAds reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or revoke access to any user account at its sole discretion in cases where suspicious or potentially fraudulent activity is detected.

The platform may conduct investigations for an unspecified duration, and during such investigations:

  • Account access may be limited or temporarily disabled
  • Campaign participation may be suspended
  • Platform funds may be frozen until investigation is concluded.

    If fraudulent activity is confirmed, AmberAds may return affected balances to the advertiser, at its discretion.

If it is determined that a user is under the age of 16, AmberAds reserves the right to immediately freeze the account and all associated balances. Refund of the remaining balance will only be made to a verified legal guardian, upon provision of sufficient documentation and identity verification.
