Adsterra personnel will never ask you to disclose your password. Any message you receive or website you visit that asks for the password, other than on the Application, should be reported to Adsterra.
  • It is advisable to change your password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your Account. Adsterra also advises you not to choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or a password that has a meaning. You must never allow anyone to access your Account or watch you accessing your account.
  • You must take reasonable care to ensure that your e-mail account(s) are secure and only accessed by you, as your e-mail address may be used to reset passwords or to communicate with you about the security of your Account.
