We may collect and process the following information about you:

Information we automatically collect:

  • We and our third-party service providers (including any third-party content, and analytics providers) automatically collect certain information from your device or web browser when you interact with the Services to help us understand how our users use the Services and to target advertising to you.

We may contract with third parties (such as Google Analytics or others) to collect this information on our behalf for analytics purposes.
  • Cookies and local storage may be set and accessed on your computer. Upon your first visit to the Services, a cookie or local storage will be sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. “Cookies” and local storage are small files containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer’s browser and stored on your device when you visit a website. Many major Web services use cookies to provide useful features for their users. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, if you reject cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the Services or take full advantage of our Services. Additionally, if you clear all cookies on your browser at any point after setting your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent, you will have to again reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.

    We classify Cookies according to whether they are “Essential”“Functional”“Improved Performance”, or “Marketing”, depending on the function that the Cookies serve in connection with our Services.
    • Essential Cookies are necessary to allow the technical operation of our Services. We use these Cookies to:
      • Authenticate you,
      • Run your session securely while you’re logged in,
      • Help detect and prevent fraud, and
      • Provide you with our Services, (e.g., they enable you to move around on a website and to use its features).
    • Functional Cookies are Cookies that:
      • Evidence your use of our Services to meet our compliance obligations and contractual commitments to partners,
      • Monitor and improve the performance of our Services,
      • Remember your choices (e.g. login information, and so on), and
      • Offer enhanced functionality when using our Services (e.g. ‘stay logged in function’).
    • Improved Performance Cookies are Cookies that:
    • Collect data to track the use of our Services,
    • Assess the effectiveness of campaigns, and

How We Store and Share Your Information

Adlistics uses cloud-based software hosting providers to run its Services. These run at Tier III, SOC1, SOC2, or ISO 27001 compliant data centers located in the United States. Adlistics shares your name and business contact details with these providers for the purpose of operating the Services and our website, and the information is used strictly for the purposes described above. Adlistics uses additional hosted or cloud-based software solutions in the USA to facilitate internal processes.

As a matter of routine business, we don’t disclose the Personal Information that we collect to Third Parties (defined below) except to:

  • Counterparties you choose to do business with through our platform; and
  • Our contracted sub-processors as described above. 

We may also disclose your Personal Information to Third Parties if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our customers or others with whom we are under a contractual obligation. Third Party data recipients with whom Personal Information may be shared for this reason include accountants, auditors and external legal counsel.   If we have to disclose on this basis, we will ensure that the Third Party is obliged (by law or contract) to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by our privacy policy and by applicable laws (unless the disclosure is legally required, such as tax reporting or responding to a judicial subpoena).  We will obtain your consent before disclosing Personal Information to a Third Party (other than disclosure to an agent or contractor processing the data solely on our behalf, or disclosure required by law). 

The Services are operated in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, please be aware that information you provide to us will be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States. By using the Services or providing us with any information, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws are not as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen such as the European Union. You understand that the U.S. government can obtain access to the Personal Information you submit if necessary for investigative purposes (e.g., terrorism investigation). We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We use appropriate and suitable safeguards for transferring your Personal Information to the U.S.

We retain your Personal Information as long as you maintain an Adlistics user account.  These policies define retention rules based on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is required.  We destroy or dispose of all Personal Information securely when it is no longer needed.

In the event we go through a business transition (such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process), your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred. By providing your Personal Information, you agree that we can transfer such information in those circumstances without your further consent. Should such a business transition occur, we will make reasonable efforts to request that the new owner or combined entity (as applicable) follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information. If your Personal Information would be used contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will request that you receive prior notice.

How We Keep Your Information Secure

All information you provide to us is stored in secure cloud solutions as described above. Where you have chosen a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website or to use Adlistics applications, you’re responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we’ll do our best to protect your Personal Information, we can’t guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we’ll use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

Logical access tools have been put in place to ensure that access to Personal Information is appropriately restricted. Administrative access to the information is restricted to authorized personnel. Physical and network security measures are in place to restrict access to the computing equipment. The security measures that we have in place to protect Personal Information are certified annually.  We also obtain security reports from our cloud service providers to ensure that they are adhering to the required standards.

Third Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We do not control these websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you provide to those websites or that is collected by those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party website that you visit before providing any information to the owner of that website.

Important Information for California Residents: Your California Privacy Rights

We have a duty as the holder of certain personal information to verify your identity when making requests to know or delete personal information and to ensure that dissemination of that information would not cause harm to you if it were distributed to another person. To verify your identity, we will request and collect additional personal information from you to match it against our records. In no event will we disclose, if we have collected it, your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, or security questions and answers.

Right to Opt-Out
