• Custom Audiences: Retargeting is limited to users who have explicitly interacted with Aevum News content or opted into marketing communications.
• Ad Review Compliance: All ads pass through Meta's automated and manual review systems before deployment. Aevum News reserves the right to reject ads that fail Meta's Community Standards.
• Data Minimization: We collect only analytics necessary for reporting. User tracking adheres to GDPR, CCPA, and Meta's Data Policy frameworks.
