Rules & privacy
The exact promises, restrictions and measurement boundaries behind every placement.
Placement rules
- Submit a direct public website or X profile.
- Whole-dollar position values run from $5 to $999,999.
- Query strings and fragments are removed when identities are stored.
- Every outbound link is marked sponsored and receives Bidline UTM attribution.
Prohibited destinations
No malware, phishing, impersonation, unlawful or sexual content, hate or harassment, deceptive redirects, chat invitations, private groups, or URL shorteners. Moderators may hide or reject a placement and keep an audit record.
Measurement
A click is counted at most once per hashed network visitor and listing each hour. Counts are directional, not a promise of unique humans or business outcomes. Automated or abusive traffic may be filtered.
Privacy
First-party analytics stores page paths, broad source/campaign values, referrer host, country, browser and device category. Visitor and session cookies are HttpOnly; identifiers are HMAC-hashed before storage. Raw IP addresses and complete User-Agent strings are not stored in first-party analytics. Bidline also uses DataFast for traffic, acquisition and privacy-safe funnel reporting; its default tracker uses browser storage and cookies and receives page, referrer, campaign, device and network metadata. Custom goals may include a listing's internal ID, type and rank, checkout stage, and charge amount. Listing form contents, destination URLs, payment credentials and unverified payment-return signals are not sent as custom goals.
Verification & reports
DNS verification shows control of a domain at one point in time; it is not an endorsement. Anyone may submit a rate-limited report, and reports enter a human moderation queue rather than removing content automatically.
Non-payment terms
Rankings may change whenever another valid placement is accepted. Availability is not guaranteed. Payment, refund, tax and jurisdiction-specific purchase terms must be reviewed separately before enabling a payment provider.
