Built around platform rules and advertiser control

How ClicksArmor uses advertising-platform authorization, respects each network’s exclusion methods, and keeps protection decisions with the advertiser.

Where we operate within each network

We design reads and writes around what Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Microsoft Advertising allow—not a single exclusion model for every channel.

Google Ads

When connected, ClicksArmor is designed to use Google Ads account authorization and supported APIs to read campaign and performance context for analysis, and to apply IP exclusions only where Google Ads allows—subject to account permissions, API access, and campaign-type rules.

Meta Ads

Meta does not provide Google-style IP exclusion lists. When a Meta connection is enabled and eligible identifiers are available, ClicksArmor is designed to sync custom audience exclusions. Platform ads data and site-tag signals are distinct inputs; matching depends on Meta policies and account permissions.

Microsoft Advertising

When connected, ClicksArmor is designed to support Microsoft Advertising campaign analysis and IP exclusion management at campaign level, within Microsoft’s formats, caps, and account permissions.

OAuth, permissions, and revocation

Access is granted by your team and can be removed in the ad platform.

OAuth authorization

Connections are designed to use each platform’s authorization flow. Available actions depend on the scopes and roles you grant—not unrelated marketing APIs. Confirm which connections are live for your workspace with sales.

Account permissions

The connected user must have sufficient permissions for the selected advertising accounts and the actions you enable. Agency manager or Business Manager access must include the client account.

Revocation

When a platform connection is active, you can remove ClicksArmor from that platform’s connected apps anytime. Exclusions already pushed remain until you clear them in-platform.

Detect, diagnose, and exclude by channel

Suspicious or invalid patterns are for review. Exclusion methods differ by platform.

Detection

We flag invalid and suspicious traffic patterns for review. Risk indicators are not automatic proof of fraud or a legal determination.

Diagnosis

Where available, we show reasons and campaign context so your team can decide what to act on—rather than relying on a silent score alone.

Exclusions

Supported exclusions follow each network’s rules: Google and Microsoft IP methods where allowed; Meta custom audiences when identifiers are eligible. Details live on Integrations.

Principles that point to Privacy

This page summarizes operating boundaries. Full collection, use, retention, and rights language is in the Privacy Policy.

Data handling

We process account, detection, and configuration data needed to operate protection and support. Categories, retention, and rights are described in our Privacy Policy.

Credentials

We do not store your Google, Meta, or Microsoft login passwords. When platform connections are enabled, they are designed to use OAuth tokens under each provider’s rules.

Cookies on the marketing site

Marketing-site cookies and similar technologies are managed separately from product detection. See our Cookie Policy; consent preferences on clicksarmor.com are managed with Cookiebot.

What we do not over-claim

Clear limits protect buyers as much as feature lists do.

Advertiser control

You choose which accounts to connect, when to enable sync, and how strict thresholds should be. Protection stays under your team’s control.

Platform limits

Ad networks can change APIs, permissions, and exclusion formats. ClicksArmor cannot override platform rules or guarantee every exclusion is accepted.

No fake certifications

ClicksArmor is not an official Google, Meta, or Microsoft certification program. We do not claim “API-approved” partner badges or invented awards.
