| Information Type | Description |
| Automatically collected information | Identifiers: Demand Matic online identifier, (UUID) advertiser ID and IP address. The Demand Matic UUID and / or advertiser ID a sequence of numbers and/or letters. This UUID attaches itself to your device and varies depending on which browser you use. In other words, Demand Matic records a different UUID depending on which device and/or which browser you use when accessing publisher sites. For example, this means that you will have one UUID when you visit a site from your mobile phone using the browser Safari, and a different UUID when you visit a site from your iPad using the browser Safari. Demand Matic will combine and consolidate a UUID from a mobile device (handheld or tablet) from a browser that then accesses an application (or vice versa) from that same device. |
| Internet or other electronic network activity information |
● Page URL ● Browser Information (e.g. Safari or Chrome) ● Device Information (e.g. Macbook) Network carrier information (e.g. Wifi, 4G or Wired connection) ● Mobile application information (e.g. Application name or IDFA) ● User Interactions with ads served by Demand Matic (e.g., the user interacted with mainly travel content) |

(b) What cookies and other similar technologies we use.
Cookies
Cookies are a short string of characters which Demand Matic uses to uniquely identify browser and a device. Demand Matic syncs these cookies with its partners in order to identify users across environments and know which segments our partners identify our users with. Please see this Cookie Table under "Demand Matic Users" for a detailed list of the first party cookies Demand Matic uses when you interact with sites where Demand Matic One is used.
Pixel Tags
Pixel tags are transparent images or short snippets of Javascript that Demand Matic's partners and clients use to understand how their users interact with their properties online, including websites and mobile apps.
Demand Matic advertisers may implement the Demand Matic pixel on their websites. The Demand Matic pixel determines whether the user reaching the page where the pixel is installed has a Demand Matic UUID. If there is a UUID associated with such end user, Demand Matic allows advertisers to retarget those UUIDs and/or provides advertisers with the total number of UUIDs that reached such page. If there was no Demand Matic UUID on the page, the Demand Matic pixel does not collect any information about the user.
We encourage advertisers to disclose use of the Demand Matic pixel on their own websites. Demand Matic does not combine pixel information with a UUID's profile.
Mobile Advertising Identifiers
Mobile advertising IDs (like IDFA) are unique IDs associated with individual mobile devices. Users can reset them by instructing their device to do so.
General Web Analytics
Demand Matic integrates with its client and partner's Web Analytics software in order to observe how users behave after clicking on ads. Any data collection via web analytics software is governed by such client's and/or third party's privacy policy.
Demand Matic Customer Technology
Demand Matic's clients and other third parties who use Demand Matic services may use their own tags, pixels cookies or other technology (or those of their other affiliates) within their advertisements and on certain websites. In such cases you will be subject to their privacy policy.
(c) How we may share information
Demand Matic may share some personal data (e.g., Demand Matic UUID, device ID and IP address) with certain partners for the purpose of cookie syncing or based on technical requirements. Third parties may be able to ascertain you identity by using information we disclose to them in conjunction with other information they have.
Demand Matic may share some personal data with the following categories of trusted third party:
Supply side platform;Data management platform;
Exchanges; and/or
Ad networks.
For a more detailed description of the above categories please see our Glossary.
(d) Your rights
Demand Matic Opt-Out
You may opt out of Demand Matic's personalised recommendations at any time. Opting-out means that Demand Matic will cease to collect data while you remain opted-out. You can opt out of personalisation on your desktop and mobile web here.
Note that opting out of personalised recommendations in applications is through the settings on your device (e.g., by following instructions for iOS devices and for Android devices.).
IMPORTANT – even though you have opted out of Demand Matic:
You will still see advertisements. Opting out of Demand Matic tracking does not mean you will no longer receive advertisements. Instead, it means that the advertisements will not be interest-based or targeted based on your browser cookies.
The opt out is cookie based and device/browser specific.If you browse the web from several devices and/or browsers, you will need to opt out from each device and/or browser to ensure that we prevent personalization tracking on all of them. For the same reason, if you buy a new device, change browsers or delete (or clear) the opt out cookie, you will need to opt-out again. Opting out of personalization tracking is not the same as blocking cookies.
To ensure deletion of the profile tied to your UUID, do not opt in to Demand Matic for at least 21 days. Your opt out is effective immediately. However, if your browser permits local storage and you opt into Demand Matic's personalized recommendations within 21 days of your opt out, it is possible your prior profile will be reconnected to your UUID. If you do not opt in within 21 days, your profile will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
As with most opt out cookies, the Demand Matic browser opt out relies upon a cookie. The opt-out cookie is intended to be persistent to honor the user's preferences. However, the "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" feature in iOS11 may impact the persistence of cookies across websites post a 24 hour window. We suggest using another browser or considering blocking all 3rd party cookies from the browser so that you are "opted out" without needing to rely on any company's actual opt out methodology.
Additional Opt-Out Options.
You may also opt out of receiving personalized ads served by us or other advertising companies through industry powered tools such as the NAI and/or EDAA www.youronlinechoices.eu). Visiting the NAI or EDAA consumer choice pages allows you to opt out of all some or all of the participating members' services. Like Demand Matic's opt out, these opt outs do not mean you will no longer receive any advertising – the advertisements will just not be tailored to you. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the EDAA consumer choice pages, your opt out may not be effective.
How We Keep Information Safe, Transfers Outside the EEA, Sharing and Retention Security
Demand Matic has a dedicated security team. We maintain tight controls over the personal data we collect, retaining it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights, to ensure it is secure. We have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the Information we collect about you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and any other form of unauthorized processing.
Business Partners have access to certain password-protected features of the Demand Matic service. They are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please remember that unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. A common Internet scam is known as "spoofing" or "phishing." This occurs when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting personal data from you. Please be aware that we will not send you any emails requesting you to verify credit card, bank information, or any other personal data. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information from you, do not respond to it, and do not click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to us at [email protected], as we will investigate instances of possible Internet fraud.
Data Transfers Outside the EU/EEA
When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to other countries in which applicable laws do not offer the same level of data privacy protection as in the European Territories, we take measures to provide an appropriate level of data privacy protection. In other words, your rights and protections remain with your data. For example, we use approved contractual clauses and other measures designed to ensure that the recipients of your personal data protect it.
Sharing
In addition to the description of how we may disclose your personal data for each user type, we may also disclose personal data as follows:
Within the family of companies controlled by Demand Matic Inc (Demand Matic Inc's parent company) for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes;
If we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data will likely be among the assets transferred;
When legally required to do so (e.g., to cooperate with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings); and/or To respond to a genuine emergency.
In addition, we combine your personal data with those of other users in order to share trend information and aggregate user statistics with third parties, always in aggregated and anonymized form.
Data Retention
The retention period for each of the cookies Demand Matic uses (whether its own or on our behalf by third parties) is stated on the Cookie Table.
Demand Matic also maintains a Data Retention Policy that details the retention period for personal data based on our analysis of how long the specific data is reasonably required for legal or business purposes. When we no longer need personal data, we securely delete or destroy it. Aggregated data, which cannot identify a device/browser (or individual) and is used for purposes of reporting and analysis, is maintained for as long as commercially necessary.
How This Privacy Policy May Change
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will place a prominent notice that will be visible to you as a Site Visitor or Business Partner, but we do not have a means of advising Users of an update. You should check back here periodically to see if the Privacy Policy has been updated. We will always show the date of the latest modification of the Privacy Policy at the top of the page so you can tell when it was last revised.
