A. Public Ad Library Query Data
When you input a Facebook Ad Library URL or numeric Ad ID into our research bar, this input is processed solely to retrieve and format the publicly available advertising snapshot from Meta's public Ad Library. We do not correlate your queries with personal user identities.
