Privacy

Statement on Privacy

We think that everyone has a fundamental right to privacy. We also believe that respect for privacy rights & consumer choice can coexist within an advertising ecosystem that accounts for consumer’s relevant and personalized interests and behavior. This data-driven ad ecosystem supports millions of small, medium, and enterprise-sized publishers that create valuable content and monetize it through advertising. The more relevant that advertising is, the more revenue these publishers generate, and the more free content they can create. Further, this advertising ecosystem creates highly skilled jobs not only at publishing & media companies, but also data & technology companies, and brands. If executed well, there is a clear path for the ad ecosystem to benefit consumers, publishers, and brands, in a privacy-centric way.

We were excited to build our business when the Mobile Advertising ID (MAID) was first introduced because it offered a privacy-safe way to map data to consumers. It gave consumers the flexibility to stop ad tracking or reset their MAID anytime they wanted. It was a needed and positive evolution from the privacy-fraught cookie infrastructure of web browsers.

As part of our commitment to privacy rights, TrueData welcomes the new crop of privacy regulations that started in Europe, US states, and that are now moving across the globe. We are advocates for national comprehensive privacy regulations, especially for the United States. Improved privacy regulations create a brighter future for those who create and consume content online. Consumers will be better informed about and have more control over how information about them is used. With clear and uniform privacy regulations, companies also benefit from shared rules of the road for operating and planning their businesses.

6. DATA SHARING

  1. HOW TO CONTROL DATA COLLECTED ABOUT YOU

We recognize that your privacy is important to you, so we offer the following ways to give you control over the data that we collect from you.

Opting out of Tailored Advertising:

We recognize that your privacy is important to you, so we offer the following ways to give you control over the data that we collect from you.

Opting out of Tailored Advertising:

We use and share information we collect from both online and offline sources to inform the advertising you see online and to tailor it to your interests. This may include using information collected across the online applications you use (such as on mobile devices, web browsers, or internet-connected televisions), or information associated with hashed email addresses or other hashed identifiers.

The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) maintains a site with tools and instructions for how to opt out of Tailored Advertising by NAI member companies. TrueData is a member of the NAI and adheres to the NAI Code of Conduct. To opt out of Tailored Advertising by TrueData and other NAI member companies, please visit:

https://optout.networkadvertising.org

If you are interested in CTV opt-out, please use the following link to visit NAI’s CTV opt-out page:

https://www.networkadvertising.org/internet-connected-tv-choices/ 

Further, we also uphold our own TrueData Opt-Out process. If you use multiple devices or multiple email addresses, make sure you apply the opt out or data control mechanisms provided to all of the web browsers, internet-connected devices, and email addresses you use for a complete opt-out. Opting out using a single browser, device, or email address will not automatically opt out all browsers, devices, or email addresses you use.

Other companies’ opt outs or data control mechanisms may function differently than ours. Note that when you opt out of Tailored Advertising, you may continue to receive contextual ads which are ads based on the content of the web page or app on which they appear.

You may have additional rights in connection with the data we collect about you depending on the state where you reside. To learn more about these rights and how to exercise them, please refer to Section 11 (Additional Information for Certain Jurisdiction).

9. SECURITY MEASURES

TrueData uses security controls designed to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. TrueData has mature incident handling procedures to respond to any breach of our security controls.

10. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page. If we make a material change to our privacy practices, we will provide notice on our Site or by other means as appropriate. If we are required by applicable data protection laws to obtain your consent to any material changes before they come into effect, then we will do so in accordance with law.

11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CERTAIN JURISDICTION

The CCPA’s broad definition of  “sale” may include using services to deliver targeted advertising on other sites or applications. This means that if you make a request to opt out of TrueData’s “sales” of personal information, it will likely have a direct impact on the types of advertisements you see online. TrueData will honor requests to opt out of “sales” of your personal information. 

There are two ways to submit a “request to opt-out of the sale or sharing” of your personal information. First, submit a request at DO NOT SELL OR SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION PAGE. Second, you can submit your request through the email at privacy@truedata.co.  In the subject line, include “CCPA Consumer Request,” and note in the body of the email that you would like to opt-out of sale.

There are two ways to limit the use of your sensitive personal information. First, submit a request at DO NOT SELL OR SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION PAGE. Second, you can submit your request through the email at privacy@truedata.co.  In the subject line, include “CCPA Consumer Request,” and note in the body of the email that you would like to limit the use of your sensitive personal information.

VIRGINIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT AND UTAH

  1. Right to Delete

You have the right to delete personal information that you have provided by or that we have obtained about you. Please note that we may deny such a request if the requested deletion falls under an exception to this right set forth in Data Privacy Laws.

  1. Right to Opt Out of Selling or Sharing

You have the right to opt out of the processing of the personal information for purposes of: (i) targeted advertising; (ii) the sale of personal information; or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (provision or denial of financial or lending services, housing, insurance, education enrollment or opportunity, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health-care services, or access to essential goods or services; decisions that have a foreseeable risk of unfair or unlawful treatment, financial or physical injury or other substantial injury).

For Colorado and Connecticut residents, if we decline to take action regarding a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reason for declining to take action and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. In the event that we do not respond to a request that you make pursuant to one of the privacy rights set forth in this section, you have the right to appeal our refusal to take action within a reasonable period of time after you receive our decision. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, we will also provide you with an online mechanism, if available, or other method through which you may contact your state attorney general’s office to submit a complaint.

GDPR AND SIMILAR LAWS

If you are a resident of one of many European countries, including the United Kingdom, an important European privacy law (or an equivalent counterpart to it) the General Data Privacy Regulation (the “GDPR”) provides you with certain rights, and places certain obligations on companies regarding how your “personal data” (as the GDPR uses that term) is used. We describe those rights and obligations below, and how and in what circumstances we honor them.  

You may have similar rights in countries that have adopted statutes similar to the GDPR, such as Brazil and Turkey.

We set out our compliance with the GDPR and, to the extent applicable, those other laws, in this section.

Legal Basis

The GDPR requires us to tell you about the legal ground we’re relying on to process any “personal data” (as the GDPR uses that term) about you. The legal grounds for us processing your personal data for the purposes set out in Section 5 above will typically be because:

Your Data Subject Rights

  1. Right to Delete, Restrict. or Object to the Processing and Rectify

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data (or where applicable, withdraw your prior consent to our processing of your data). You may also request that we correct (“rectify”), restrict, or delete your personal data.   

You may exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy+international@truedata.co  or through our website privacy portal located at  INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS REQUEST. If you request that we delete your personal data, or withdraw your consent, we will customarily retain a copy of your data sufficient to suppress it from our active databases in the future:  but if that is not what you wish, you may indicate that to us (in which case your information may be added to our database later, because we will not have “suppressed” it).

Moreover, when we delete your personal data, we may retain it (to the extent legally permissible) for certain important (but narrow) internal purposes such as legal, compliance, accounting or auditing purposes, and in some cases, for security purposes.  

  1. Personalized Online Advertising Opt-Outs

You may object to profiling by online advertising platforms with whom we sometimes partner to help generate (and measure or analyze) “personalized” online advertising.  These platforms are generally separate third party “controllers” of your data.  You may visit industry websites provided at [https://optout.aboutads.info) (by the Digital Advertising Alliance) and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ (by the Network Advertising Alliance) or https://www.Youronlinechoices.eu/ (the European Digital Advertising Alliance) to do so, as to many of the largest platforms involved in personalized online advertising.

You may unsubscribe from marketing and other communications that we may send (on behalf of ourselves or others) by clicking the “opt-out” or “unsubscribe” link in the footer of those emails. 

  1. Your Right to Access 

In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to request access to a copy of your personal data.  You may request access to the personal data we hold about by visiting the web page at INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS REQUEST. 

When you exercise your privacy rights to access, delete, rectify, or object to your information processing, we are required — for privacy and other important compliance reasons — to verify your identity in a legally sufficient manner: if we cannot do so, we will not be able to satisfy your access request.

Please note that as part of the verification process, we may not be able to sufficiently “verify” your identity in a manner sufficient to safeguard against the potential adverse privacy effects on disclosure of personal data to the wrong individual (or a person who is purposefully seeking the information of another). Because such improper disclosure would likely adversely affect the privacy rights and freedoms of a relevant data subject / consumer, we limit certain personal data we make available. In particular, we believe that in most cases we cannot verify to a sufficiently high degree that precise location data we have collected pertains to the person who has submitted the request, or whether either the person in possession of a device or the person requesting the information is the actual device owner. (For instance, some people may be temporarily in possession of another person’s phone – e.g., a partner, friend or work colleague – whether consensually or not, and many phones are not password-protected.) Where that is the case, we may provide a subset of the data that we hold.

Questions or Concerns

If you have a complaint or concern or question about how we handle your personal data, please contact us as at the below mentioned contact address, and we will seek to address any concerns you may have. If you are not happy with how we have attempted to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant data protection authority.

When We are a Processor

EU data protection law (and certain other data protection laws) makes a distinction between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). TrueData sometimes acts as a data controller (for instance, when we make decisions about the data that comprises our own datasets) and sometimes acts as a processor (for instance, if we ingest information that belongs to a customer, such as to analyze it solely for their benefit and at their direction). We generally are only able to help data subjects exercise their rights as to data we are a data controller of. If you have a question or request as to data we’re a processor of, you should generally address that to the relevant Data Controller.

12. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

This provides for instructions on how you can exercise your rights as a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah.

 

  1. How to Exercise your Access, Correction and Deletion Rights

There are two ways to submit a request to access or delete your personal information. First, you may submit a request at INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS REQUEST. Second, you can submit your request via our toll-free number: (888) 868-5427. 

We are unable to process faxed requests at the toll-free number provided; if you would like to submit your request to us using our toll-free number,  please use a telephone to submit your request verbally. After the tone please very slowly state your name and email address and please also leave your telephone number as well, and we will contact you with the instructions on how to proceed with your request. When you finish recording you may hang up or press the pound key for more options. 

To protect the privacy and security of your personal information, we will attempt to verify your identity before acting on your request. We may also ask for proof of residency, which may include a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose personal information is the subject of the request. Your request must include details sufficient for us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request.   

Please also note that as part of the verification process, we’re required to consider:

(a) the difficulty of verifying whether data that we hold and data we have linked to it truly and solely belongs to the data subject making the request, along with; and

(b) the potential adverse effects on disclosure of personal data to the wrong individual (or a person who is purposefully seeking the information of another) because such improper disclosure would likely adversely affect the privacy rights and freedoms of the relevant data subject/consumer, we limit certain personal data we make available.  

In particular, we believe that in most cases we cannot verify to a sufficiently high degree that precise location data we have collected pertains to the person who has submitted the request, or whether either the person in possession of a device or the person requesting the information is the actual device owner. (For instance, some people may be temporarily in possession of another person’s phone – e.g., a partner, friend or work colleague – whether consensually or not, and many phones are not password-protected).  

  1. Use of an Authorized Agent

For California, Colorado, and Connecticut consumers, an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf — may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. If you are making a request through an authorized agent, you must provide the authorized agent with written permission to do so, and a power of attorney that fulfills the requirements of the Data Privacy Laws. TrueData may request more information from the authorized agent (or from you) if needed to verify the authorized agent’s identity or to avoid any breach of security or instances of fraud.

  1. Minors

We do not knowingly collect personal information of minors under the age of 16, nor are our Sites or Services developed for, offered to, or directed at children under the age of 16. If you believe that we have collected information of a child under the age of 16, please contact us and we will take appropriate action. 

  1. TrueData as a Service Provider

Sometimes we act as a “Service Provider” to other companies — for instance, when we help other businesses use their own customers’ information for marketing, analytics, or other services. As to personal information that we hold as a “Service Provider,” you would generally need to reach out to the business (our customer) to exercise your rights stated here.

13. CONTACT TRUEDATA
