Privacy and Anonymity
You decide what to do with your surfing history
We keep track of which pages you accessed at which point in time. This is your surfing history and you can look at it inside "Your Account". We need to keep this list until the end of the month because that's the moment when we distribute your money to all your visited sites. After that point, you decide what to do with it: Delete it (default setting) or keep it up to 6 months for your reference. When we delete, the information that pages have been visited is preserved, but any reference that it was you who visited the pages is definitively erased from the database.

Your credit card details and your surfing history are separated
We don't have access to your credit card numbers because you enter them at another company, PayPal. Since we won't give your surfing history to anybody and PayPal won't give anybody your credit card numbers, your anonymity is preserved.

We don't ask for your personal details
To open an account, you don't have to tell us anything personal if you don't want to.

Publishers don't know who you are
During the "automatic authentication" process, a publisher asks us if a certain user has paid and then displays him the selected page. Even though we tell the publisher whether you have paid or not, we never tell the publisher who you really are. All that the publisher can work with is an anonymous number.

Publishers can't track users
There would be a potential privacy threat if we always gave a publisher the same number: When you browse free webpages, you can stay anonymous by deleting all your cookies from time to time. Now with Ipaya, you couldn't stay anonymous anymore because in order to access information you would have to login to Ipaya and then all publishers would see your old number and find out who you are. In order to avert this privacy threat, the anonymous numbers are automatically changed every 24 hours.

Publishers can't track users among themselves
There is another potential privacy threat if your anonymous numbers would be the same for all sites, because malicious sites could synchronize their databases and create a complete surfing profile of you. Ipaya prevents this by using different temporary IDs for different sites.
