Why should I use Lunio?

What is invalid traffic?

Invalid traffic is clicks or impressions on ads that don't come from real people with genuine interest in what you’re advertising. All non-human and fraudulent traffic is invalid. Fraudulent activity includes the use of bots, click farms, and third party incentives to drive up click volumes for malicious reasons or financial gain. User agents that deliberately seek to misrepresent e.g. their location or device also fall under IVT. Not all IVT is out to get you. It includes benign actors such as website scrapers and spiders collecting information from your website. Mistakes made by ad platform algorithms in which the wrong targeting is applied is also invalid.

How does Lunio prevent false positives?

How is Lunio compliant?

Lunio is GDPR and CCPA compliant. It ensures compliance by adhering to industry regulations and best practices related to data privacy, security, and digital advertising standards.

Lunio acts as a processor when blocking fraudulent clicks. This is done by allowing our customers to fire scripts that detect fraudulent traffic. This can be done with or without consent on the basis of "legitimate interests" (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). This is reasonable as detecting fraudulent traffic is crucial to ensure the integrity of the controller's digital marketing activities, protect their resources, and prevent misuse of their services. The way in which the script operates, not collecting any other information or allowing for it to be used for other purposes, makes it have minimal impact and makes it's use valid without the need for consent

Moreover, Lunio follows strict security protocols to safeguard data integrity and ensures that any actions taken, such as updating exclusion lists or adjusting audiences, comply with the policies of ad platforms like Google Ads. This measured approach ensures Lunio remains compliant while helping clients mitigate invalid traffic risks.
