Privacy Policy

Introduction

This is AdCritter, LLC's ("AdCritter" or "we") privacy policy. It applies to any of our websites, any ads we display on other websites or properties, and any services we provide through our platform, our website or any other technology we use. By using AdCritter's website or any of our products or services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this policy.

Opt-Out Options

AdCritter believes you should be empowered to make informed choices if and when you choose about the kinds of ads that get delivered to you online. Therefore, we provide you to opportunity to opt out of ads delivered to you by AdCritter based on your interests, websites you've visited and other information we may use to tailor ads specifically for you.

If you choose to opt out, you will still see online ads, but they will no longer be tailored to you based on the information AdCritter has collected. In this case, any information we have collected will be dissociated from your device, thereby preventing its use. If you opt out in this way, you will continue to see ads, but they will likely be much less relevant to you and your interests. If your device is in the European Economic Area and you opt out, we will consider that a request for AdCritter to cease processing your personal data and will accommodate that request. Clearing your browser's cookies is an effective opt-out procedure for desktop and laptop environments included in re-marketing advertising campaigns. For mobile devices, opt out requests must be submitted to optout@adcritter.com and include your full name and the advertising identifier(s) of the personal device(s) you wish to be excluded. If your device acquires a new advertising identifier, this process must be repeated for the new identifier. Because advertising identifiers and related settings can be managed by the device user, AdCritter does not accept opt-out requests from third parties.

What is AdCritter?

AdCritter is a technology platform that allows advertisers, advertising agencies and media buyers (heretofore: "Advertisers") to place digital ads on websites, mobile sites and aps. Advertisers use AdCritter to place these ads using various standard online marketing practices, such as location-based advertising, interest-based advertising, real-time ad bidding, contextual advertising, and retargeting. AdCritter also makes it possible for Advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their advertising.

  • cookie data,

The payment integration has been implemented so that card data is never visible or accessible to us and, therefore, AdCritter is fully PCI compliant.

EUROPEAN UNION DATA SUBJECTS

The General Data Privacy Regulation ("GDPR") affords additional rights to EU data subjects. Those rights include the right to complain to EU Supervisory Authorities and the right to access, correct, port to another party and delete certain personal data processed by AdCritter.

With respect to EU data subjects, personal data includes pseudonymous information such as an IP address, a mobile advertising ID or a cookie ID. Where AdCritter is a controller of data the legal basis will be both legitimate interest and consent depending on the type of information subject to processing and the information we receive from upstream partners. Where we rely upon legitimate interest, we have assessed the processing is not high risk and will not violate fundamental human rights of EU data subjects.

When AdCritter receives from an EU data subject a request to cease processing of data via the mechanism(s) listed above, AdCritter will stop all data processing with respect to the opted out browser or device unless such processing is required by law.

If you're an EU data subject and believe AdCritter is processing your pseudonymous information or your contact information and you wish to exercise your right to access, delete, port or remove such information, please send an email to optout@adcritter.com and we will respond to your request within 30 days.
