Privacy Policy

 

Effective Date: February 19, 2024

“BIDINFLUENCE LTD, its subsidiaries, and affiliated entities (collectively referred to as “BIDINFLUENCE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are dedicated to safeguarding and appropriately managing your personal information (referred to as “Personal Information”). As an international digital marketing company, BIDINFLUENCE provides a comprehensive range of digital and programmatic advertising solutions (referred to as the “Service”) to advertisers, agencies, publishers, and application developers (collectively referred to as “Customers”).

This document (referred to as the “Policy”) outlines our commitment to privacy regarding the processing of Personal Information within BIDINFLUENCE’s advertising solutions and platforms, as well as on BIDINFLUENCE’s official website (referred to as the “Site”). Your Personal Information is treated in accordance with the terms outlined in this Policy.

This Policy is applicable to the information we may handle:

– Concerning visitors who access, use, or interact with the Site, as well as individuals who communicate with us for inquiries;

– Regarding Customers and personnel (including contractors or other points of contact) associated with our Customers; and

– Concerning individuals who explore the websites and/or applications of our Customers (“End Users”). (collectively referred to as “you” or “users”).

 

1. THE SERVICES

BIDINFLUENCE provides customized digital and programmatic advertising solutions to its Customers, supported by proprietary platforms and optimization technologies. As a result, BIDINFLUENCE does not have direct interactions with individuals who visit Customers’ websites and/or applications.

The Personal Information collected by BIDINFLUENCE is predominantly utilized within the realm of Real-Time Bidding (RTB) — an advanced technological framework that enables advertisers to bid in real-time for the opportunity to display online advertisements whenever an End User accesses a webpage, app, or any other digital media source.

We gather data that you furnish to our Customers, in addition to information regarding your device, as elaborated upon in the Policy. In situations where we process Personal Information concerning End Users, obtained from our Customers through the provision of our Services, BIDINFLUENCE functions as an independent controller of said Personal Information. Our Customers also assume the role of independent controllers for this Personal Information.

Data Collection by Clients and Vendors:

As outlined in this document, our clients, contractors, and our clients’ contractors may utilize our technology and deploy it through tags, pixels, cookies, or similar technologies for their business operations. We do not assume responsibility for the manner in which our clients or our clients’ contractors use your personal information or any tracking technologies.

2. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

BIDINFLUENCE is involved in the processing of personal data acquired from our Customers, yourself, or a representative acting on your behalf (such as your employer) as part of our business operations. Moreover, to fulfill our Service obligations and comply with contractual, policy, and other commitments, we may process personal information obtained from publicly accessible sources.

The term “Personal Information” pertains to any information that identifies an individual or makes their identity discernible. This category does not encompass data that has been modified to remove identity details, referred to as “anonymous data.”

2.1. Visitors to Our Site and Individuals Contacting Us with Inquiries

We, or designated third parties acting on our behalf, gather and employ personal information that may encompass:

• Personal Information belonging to visitors of our Site, particularly when they establish communication or engage with the Site;
• Details pertaining to your queries and/or general aspects of your interest in our Service;
• First and last name, email address, contact number, or any other details shared by visitors during interactions conducted via email, facsimile, telephone, or alternate means.

Upon visiting our Site, our servers register specific “traffic/session” particulars originating from your device, such as your user agent and Internet Protocol (IP) address.

While utilizing our Site, we may amass information related to your activities, encompassing log-in and log-out times, session durations, accessed web pages, specific content within web pages, activity metrics, and the geographical location of your device.

The Site also incorporates links to third-party social media platforms such as Facebook®, Twitter®, LinkedIn®, accompanied by associated social media features and scripts, like the Facebook® “like” button and widgets. These elements and scripts are designed to collect your IP address, determine the page you are visiting on the Site, and establish a cookie to facilitate their proper functionality. Social media features and widgets are hosted either by the relevant third-party social media platforms or directly on the Site.

Your interactions with these social media features, widgets, and the social media platforms themselves are subject to the privacy policies of the respective social media sites. If you provide Personal Information in a comment on a blog post or on any related social media platform, it’s important to recognize that this information may be read, gathered, or used by others, potentially leading to unsolicited messages or unauthorized contact without your consent or intent.

It’s important to note that the submission of Personal Information in these forums is your responsibility, and we are not accountable for the Personal Information you choose to disclose.

During your interactions with us, whether initiated by you or by us, any Personal Information you provide will be received and processed.

In addition to other endorsements, we showcase personal testimonials from contented Customers on the Site. With your consent, we may publish your testimonial accompanied by your name. Should you wish to modify or remove your testimonial, please reach out to us at: support@bidinfluence.net

2.2. Customers and Personnel (Contractors or Other Contacts) of Our Customers (including Prospective Customers)

We, or authorized third parties on our behalf, gather and utilize personal information that may encompass:

• Your first and last name, contact number, company name, and email address for purposes related to Service registration and communication;
• Information you furnish when engaging with us via email, fax, telephone, or other means of communication with our customer service.

2.3. End Users

We, or designated third parties acting on our behalf, gather and utilize personal information, which may include:

• Personal Information provided by the End User to our Customers, encompassing attributes like age or gender;
• Details concerning the End User’s device, comprising device specifications, model, manufacturer, operating system version, connection type, and device identifiers such as mobile advertising IDs (such as Apple’s iOS Identifier for Advertising or Google’s Android Advertising ID). This category also covers geographic location data if location services are enabled for an app integrated with our Service on the End User’s device, and the IP address used by the device to access a Customer’s website or app;
• Personal Information regarding the End User’s interactions on our Customers’ websites or apps, including data about activities, actions, and session commencement and conclusion times;
• Insights regarding advertisements served, viewed, or interacted with, such as ad type, placement, user interaction (clicks), frequency of exposure, and actions following exposure, such as visiting the Customer’s website or app store, purchasing products or services advertised, or installing advertised apps.

We employ digital identifiers to automatically gather specific information, some of which might identify a particular computer or device and may be considered Personal Information. This information is acquired through the use of digital identifiers. Additional details about our digital identifiers can be found below:

• Beacons, Pixels, and Tags: These elements facilitate data collection, advertising delivery, and related services like measurement or fraud prevention on websites. They enable communication between a web browser and a server and are implemented as small transparent images (beacons) or computer code segments (tags) that operate within a web browser.
• Mobile SDK: The mobile SDK, akin to beacons and tags, is a code embedded in mobile apps. It supports ad display and associated services such as measurement and fraud prevention by collecting and analyzing data accessible through the installed mobile SDK.
• Cookie: Cookies are modest text files retained in a web browser by websites or ad servers. They store information to facilitate preference retention or browser recognition between visits or across websites.
• Non-Cookie Technology: In a diverse online landscape with varied devices, software platforms, and services, cookies might not always be applicable. Consequently, alternative approaches, such as unique IDs provided by platforms like Apple’s iOS and Google’s Play Services for Android, are used for advertising distinction. Many mobile devices possess unique identifiers that can also serve as distinguishing marks. Furthermore, mathematical techniques can be employed to intelligently infer device recognition.
