This Privacy Policy applies to personal data that we collect, use and disclose about you in the course of providing our Services. Personal data means any information which allows us to identify you directly or indirectly, including “cookies” and other electronic data. Some information may not be personal on its own but may become personal data if associated with or if the sum of the information allows us to identify you.
If you click through to links to third parties’ websites, applications, or services from our Services, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of personal data by such external services. These linked websites and applications have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use. We do not have any control over such third parties’ websites and applications, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites and applications may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal data. It is always a good idea to read their privacy policies to understand what they do with your personal data!
For example, if you see an advertisement using our Ad Products while navigating a publisher website or application, the publisher may also collect personal data about you. When you interact with an advertisement in the form of an offer, coupon, contest or sweepstake for example, you may be redirected to the website or application of the Advertising Client offering the product, service or promotional offer. In these cases, we do not control the data collection and other privacy practices of these third parties. If you have questions about how they process your personal data, you should contact them directly.
We may collect your personal data to provide our Services, and conduct statistical performance analysis. Depending on how you use our Services and the features with which you interact, we may collect different categories of personal data.
