Classification of Information
The information collection and use policies described in this Privacy Policy refer to two types of information that may be collected from
natural people: (i) Non-Personal Data and (ii) Personal Data, defined as follows:
Non-Personal Data
Non-Personal Data is any information that is not, on its own, used to contact, identify or precisely locate an individual. Examples of
Non-Personal Data include browser type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), operating system (e.g., Macintosh or Windows).
Personal Data
Personal Data generally considered to be information that can be used to directly or indirectly contact, identify or precisely locate
an individual, however, the explicit definition of what constitutes Personal Data may vary depending on where you live. Examples of
Personal Data may include: name, email address, postal address, telephone number, social security number, precise device location
data, government issued-identifier, unique user ids, and credit card or other financial account numbers. To the extent that the
Personal Data of an individual is collected, stored or used, that individual is known as a "Data Subject". In some jurisdictions,
the IP Address from which a Data Subject accesses an online service may be considered Personal Data.
Technologies Related to Information Collection and Storage
To assist readers with understanding some of the information collection technologies referred to in this Privacy Policy, brief
descriptions are included here, along with links to resources for more information. This list may not be complete and some of
these collection technologies may not apply to you. Details on how these technologies are used to collect information may depend
on whether you are (i) a Platform Customer, (ii) a Site Visitor, or (iii) an Ad Viewer, while some of the below details apply to
all individuals. These details are described in following sections:
Html Forms
Html Forms are input fields where individuals may enter information that is collected by the host application. Html forms may request
Personal Data, and it is up to the individual whether or not to enter such information. For example, Html forms are often used for
user registrations and "Contact Us" information requests, where the individual supplies contact information in order to be contacted
by email, telephone or other means.
Http Cookies
Http Cookies (also known as browser cookies, or simply cookies) are small files that are stored on a user's computer via a web browser.
They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular browser (e.g. Firefox) and website (i.e. domain). Cookies are
used because they are a convenient way of carrying information from one session on a website to another, or between sessions on related
websites. A cookie consists of (i) a name, by which it is referenced, (ii) the domain to which it is attached, i.e. facebook.com or
tr.clipcentric.com, (iii) a number of key/value pairs, such as loggedin=yes or gender=male, and (iv) its duration, or how long before
the cookie is deleted, e.g. when the browser window is closed, 90 days or forever. You can view or delete any cookies that are stored by
your browser using browser tools.
Server Log Files
Server Log Files contain a list of requests received by a webserver or delivery network. Almost all the websites you visit, or any of
the applications you access online generate log files that may include visitor IP Addresses, operating systems, browsers type,
referring/exit pages, ISP and device information. This information is typically used to monitor site/application traffic, usage patterns
and trends, timestamps and clickstream data, as well as to troubleshoot errors and problem areas.
IP Address
An IP Address is a fundamental identifier used for communication over the internet. It is a number that is usually
automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your internet service provider (ISP) or by another
organization. When your browser makes any request over the internet, your IP Address must be included with the request
so that the server processing the request knows where to send the reply. Upon the server receiving such a request, the
related IP Addresses are commonly stored in Server Log Files. While an IP Address, by itself,
cannot in most cases identify you personally, when combined with other information, your IP Address could be used to
identify the computer you are using. Your IP Address may also be used to estimate your
Imprecise Device Location. In some jurisdictions, your IP Address alone may be
considered Personal Data, while in other jurisdictions, it may be considered
Non-Personal Data.
User Agent Strings
User Agent Strings are a series of characters automatically sent with your internet requests that provide information
designed to enable effective internet communications such as the operating system and browser you used. User Agent
Strings also commonly include information the webpage you were on when the request was made. User Agent Strings are
commonly stored in Server Log Files. Similar to an IP Address,
a User Agent String, by itself, does not identify you personally. However, when combined with other information, a User
Agent String might be used to construct a Unique Id, which could be used to identify the computer
originating a request.
Unique IDs
Unique IDs are identification numbers or strings that are used to identify a particular user or device. Unique IDs may be created from
elements of Server Log Files, including IP Addresses and User Agent Strings, or be passed directly from one party to another. Unique IDs
may be truly unique to a user, browser, device or platform, or may rely on statistical methods to correlate users, browsers, devices or
platforms with user activity.
Tracking Pixels
Tracking Pixels (also known as Clear Gifs, Web Beacons) are invisible 1x1 pixel images that are requested from a remote server via a url
that typically contains small strings of encoded information, which may in part be determined by Embedded Scripts and Http Cookies. When
a Tracking Pixel is requested from a server, that server may decode and process this information, for example, storing it to Server Log Files
for future analysis.
Embedded Scripts
Embedded Scripts are programming code snippets that, in addition to other functionality, may be designed to collect information about
your interactions with a website or website component (including advertisements), such as the links you click on. Embedded Scripts may
set or read Http Cookies, use Tracking Pixels or employ virtually any other information collection technology. Embedded Scripts may be
temporarily downloaded onto your device from an application's web server, or the server of a third party provider. An Embedded Scripts
is active only while you are connected to the website containing the Embedded Scripts, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Local Storage
Local Storage is another method of storing information locally on a user's computer, via a web browser. Storing
information using Local Storage is similar to using a Http Cookie, but allows for the storing
of a greater amount of data with improved performance and increased security, as no information is transferred from the
browser to a web server. Local Storage may be cleared at the end of a browser session (Session Storage), or be stored
indefinitely (until removed by an application or end-user). Like Http Cookies, Local Storage is
per origin (per domain and protocol). All pages, from one origin, can store and access the same data. Therefore, the
concepts of First Party Local Storage and Third Party Local Storage exist, just like with Http Cookies.
For more information, please refer to https://www.w3.org/TR/webstorage/.
Local Shared Objects
Local Shared Objects, also known as Flash® cookies, is a method of storing information utilizing the Adobe Flash® player. Flash cookies
are different from Http Cookie because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. For example, Local Shared Objects can be stored
or retrieved for a particular domain whenever a user accesses a page containing a Flash application. While this "same domain restriction"
is similar to that of Http Cookie, Local Shared Objects are persistent across sessions using different browsers (e.g. Chrome and MSIE).
Local Shared Objects are commonly used to store preferences, track application data (such as game stats) or track a user's activity
within the domain.
Click-through Redirects
A Click-through Redirect is a method for a third party to track a click on an advertisement. Rather than the ad click immediately
resulting in your browser opening the target webpage, your request is "relayed" or "redirected" through an intermediary webserver, which
can then store information pertaining to the click-through in Server Log Files. The intermediary webserver may set a Http Cookie during
a Click-through Redirect.
Iframes
Iframes are a web technology that enable a nested browsing context, effectively enabling one HTML page to be embedded in another HTML
page (see
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/semantics-embedded-content.html#the-iframe-element). When an individual visits a webpage, it may
not be obvious that some of the content on that webpage is contained in an Iframes, and that such content may be requesting and receiving
information from servers operated by a party other than that of the parent webpage ("Third Party Servers"), using their own domain. This
is important because some information collection and use methods are restricted to exchanging information only on the same domain, e.g.
Http Cookies or Local Storage, and Iframes may allow these methods to be used by both the parent webpage domain and the Third Party
Servers domain. Additionally, technologies, such as Web Messaging (see
https://www.w3.org/TR/webmessaging/) exist where information can
be shared between domains, effectively circumventing 'same domain' restrictions. In fact, if a third party is serving
content to an Iframe, especially 'friendly iframes' or iframes that have unrestricted access to the content of the parent webpage, they may technically employ
virtually any information collection method.
Precise Device Location
Precise Device Location of an internet connected device is available via the W3C Geolocation API Specification (see
https://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html).
Common sources of location information include Global Positioning System (GPS) and location inferred from network signals
such as IP Address, RFID, WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses, and GSM/CDMA cell IDs, as well as
user input. While no guarantee is given that the API returns a device's actual location, the availability of accurate
location information may be sufficient for your Precise Device Location to be considered Personal Data.
In addition to default operating system and/or browser restrictions, it is the policy of Clipcentric that your Precise
Device Location will not be determined without your explicit consent, e.g. responding "yes" to a prompt asking permission
to use your current location.
Imprecise Device Location
Imprecise Device Location of an internet connected device may be estimated by comparing the device
IP Address with a database of IP Addresses correlated with geographic
location (also known as an IP Geolocation Database). The accuracy of Imprecise Device Location is typically at the postal
code level or less. For example, one of the more popular commercial IP Geolocation Databases claims to
provide as high as a 90% success rate for city-level location within 50km of the actual device location.
Policy for Platform Customers
Clipcentric's policy for the collection and use of information regarding (i) Platform Customers and (ii) the employees and agents
that Platform Customers authorize to use the Clipcentric Platform and Clipcentric Services on their behalf ("Authorized Users")
is, in part, governed by a Platform Agreement executed between Clipcentric and the Platform Customers.
To the extent that Platform Customers provide Clipcentric with Personal Data of Authorized Users or other individuals, the Platform Customer is the Data Controller of this Personal Data, and Clipcentric is a Data Processor as authorized by a Platform Agreement. Examples of the types of data that Clipcentric may process on behalf of Platform Customers include an individual's name, address, phone number, email address, user id and job title.
As a Data Controller, Clipcentric may also automatically collect and store other Personal Data from Authorized Users as they access the Clipcentric Platform and Clipcentric Services (i) as required to operate the Clipcentric Platform and Clipcentric Services, (ii) to analyze usage patterns and improve our service, and (iii) to detect and troubleshoot technical errors. This Personal Data may include IP Addresses, Unique IDs, elements from User Agent Strings and other Non-Personal Data that may be correlated with Personal Data, including Personal Data for which We are a Data Processor and have the authority to use in this manner.

Policy for Site Visitors
Information Collection Methods and Use by Clipcentric
Personal Data
Automatically Collected Data
As is the case for most websites, when you visit the Clipcentric Site, We gather certain information automatically and store it in
Server Log Files. This information includes IP Addresses, which in some jurisdictions
may be considered Personal Data, and therefore may be subject to Data Protection Legislation. After collection, We
only use your IP Addresses for the internal purposes of detecting and preventing fraud or unauthorized access
and maintaining the security of our systems. Access to Server Log Files containing
IP Addresses is restricted to authorized employees and agents of Clipcentric. After an initial period not to
exceeding 24 hours, Server Log Files containing IP Addresses are protected by encryption
technologies and archived to secure storage facilities.
Data you Knowingly Submit
Clipcentric does not collect any other Personal Data of Site Visitors before, during or after your visit to the Clipcentric Site
other than what you voluntarily supply to Us via Html Forms (e.g., submitting information through the Contact Us and/or
registration forms). This information may include name, address, billing address, email, phone number and company information. When
Personal Data is provided by you directly to Us in this manner, Clipcentric is the Data Controller of the
Personal Data, which We use solely for the purposes identified at the point of contact, such as to convey requested product or
service information, assess the needs of your business to determine suitable products, respond to customer service requests and improve the
Clipcentric Site. We may store this information in email files, both on Our server and on the local computer file systems of authorized
Clipcentric employees. We may transfer this information to Data Processors who have a contractual obligation to protect the information and
adhere to applicable Data Protection Legislation. For example, We may transfer this information into customer relationship management platforms.
Non-Personal Data
We also collect other information automatically from Site Visitors and store it in
Server Log Files, including User Agent Strings. We use this
information, which We do not link to Personal Data or otherwise use to identify individual
users, to analyze trends, to administer the Clipcentric Site, to track users' movements around the Clipcentric
Site and to gather aggregated demographic information about Our user base as a whole.
Clipcentric Ads are displayed in the Clipcentric Site for demonstration purposes to prospective Platform Customers so that they may learn the types of ads our products and services allow them to create and distribute. If you view portions of the Clipcentric Site that contains these Clipcentric Ads, you will also be subject to our Policy for Ad Viewers.
We do not link any of the Non-Personal Data described in this section to any Personal Data unless you are logged in as an Authorized User of a Platform Customer, operating under a Platform Agreement, in which case you are also subject to our Policy for Platform Customers.

Information Collection Methods and Use Third Parties
Analytics Partners
We may use third party analytics partners (such as Google Analytics) to inform us of traffic patterns, so that we may improve the
effectiveness of Our Clipcentic Site content ("Site Analytics Partners"). We do not pass any Personal Data to Site Analytics
Partners, however, Site Analytics Partners may employ Tracking Pixels or Embedded Scripts,
which results in Site Analytics Partners receiving the IP Address of Site Visitors. We only utilize Site Analytics
Partners where IP Address Anonymization techniques are employed, such as setting the last octet of IPv4 user IP Address
and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses. Note that IP Address Anonymization techniques only affect the storage and processing of
IP Addresses, not the transfer.
Site Analytics Partners may also use Http Cookies and/or Local Storage. For a description of how our current Site Analytics Partner, Google Analytics, uses Http Cookies, please refer to the website "Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites" at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage. For more general information about Google Analytics, including how you can control the information collected by Google, please refer to the website, "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Links to Third Parties
The Clipcentric Site and Clipcentric Services may include links to other web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of
Clipcentric. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies.
We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any web sites you visit.
Policy for Ad Viewers
Information Collection Methods and Use by Clipcentric
Personal Data
Automatically Collected Data
In the course of delivering a Clipcentric Ad to you, Clipcentric automatically collects and stores your
IP Address in Our Server Log Files. Clipcentric is a
Data Controller of such automatically collected information. Platform Customers and their Customer
Distribution Partners where you encounter Clipcentric Ads may also be considered Data Controllers of this
information, as their respective agreements and policies may indicate. Clipcentric utilizes third party
hosting companies to store and process this automatically collected data, and Clipcentric requires such
Processors to comply with all applicable Data Protection Legislation.
In some jurisdictions, your IP Address may be considered Personal Data, and may therefore be subject to Data Protection Legislation. After collection, We only use your IP Address for anonymously aggregating the imprecise geolocation of requests, and for the internal purposes of detecting and preventing fraud or unauthorized access and maintaining the security of Our systems. Access to Server Log Files containing IP Addresses is restricted to authorized employees and agents of Clipcentric. After an initial period not to exceeding 24 hours, Server Log Files containing IP Addresses are protected by encryption technologies and archived to secure storage facilities.
We may also use your IP Address on-the-fly to estimate your Imprecise Device Location. In this case, your IP Address is passed directly from your internet browser or application to Our server's temporary memory by an Embedded Script. We do not store your IP Address when collected in this manner, or link it to any other information other than comparing it to a geolocation database after which the IP Address is promptly deleted from temporary memory.

Data you Knowingly Submit
Some Clipcentric Ads may request your Precise Device Location, for
example, when displaying your location on a map relative to nearby stores. If you provide your explicit
consent, your Precise Device Location is passed directly from your
internet browser or application to Our server's temporary memory by an
Embedded Script. Our servers may respond to this information by returning a
customized ad experience.
Non-Personal Data
Other than your IP Address, and in some cases your
Precise Device Location received after your explicit consent (both as
described above), We do not collect or store any Personal Data from Ad Viewers. However, We do
collect certain Non-Personal Data regarding your exposure to a Clipcentric Ad, such as your
browser type, the server your computer is logged into, the type of computer operating system you use, and whether
and how individuals using your internet browser or similar applications have responded to the ad delivered. The
Non-Personal Data that We collect is used for the purpose of customizing the ads delivery
and measuring the effectiveness of these ads on behalf of Our Platform Customers.
We collect your User Agent String and store it in Our Server Log Files. We use this information to control how Clipcentric Ads are served to particular devices or platforms, and to provide Our Platform Customers with information on the device types and platforms Ad Viewers used while viewing Clipcentric Ads.
We may use Embedded Scripts to generate and use other anonymous information, which may be passed to Our servers by Tracking Pixels where it is then stored in Server Log Files. We use this information to anonymously measure the efficacy of Clipcentric Ads and to create Clipcentric Ad campaign performance reports.
At the discretion of Platform Customers. Clipcentric Ads may use Cookies and/or persistent Local Storage to keep track of how many times an Ad Viewer has seen a particular Clipcentric Ad in a particular timeframe. This information may be used to customize how Clipcentric Ads are rendered to Ad Viewers. For example, We may display an alternate ad experience to Ad Viewers based on whether or not Ad Viewers have already seen the same Clipcentric Ad. We do not store any Personal Data in these Cookies or Local Storage, nor do We link the information We store in Cookies or Local Storage to any Personal Data. If a Platform Customer elects for their Clipcentric Ads to use Cookies or Local Storage, they may also determine whether to use first party or third party Cookies or Local Storage. Third party Cookies and Local Storage allows Clipcentric to keep track of how many times an Ad Viewer has seen a Clipcentric Ad across multiple publishers or publish domains. When Cookies are used in this way, they will expire within 2 years. When Local Storage is used, it may remain in your browser for an extended period of time. Clipcentric Ads include a consent mechanism, where Platform Customers or their Customer Distribution Partners, acting as Data Controllers, may indicate to Clipcentric whether or not using Cookies and/or Local Storage is authorized. Below is an example of the type of anonymous information that is stored in Cookies and Local Storage for these purposes:
We use Click-through Redirects to allow Us to track click activity on Clipcentric Ads, or to allow Our Platform Customers and their analytics partners (or their clients and their client's analytics partners) to track such activity. Click-through Redirect activity is stored in Our Server Log Files, and is analyzed in conjunction with other information to produce reports on the effectiveness of Clipcentric Ads for our Platform Customers.
We collect your User Agent String and store it in Our Server Log Files. We use this information to control how Clipcentric Ads are served to particular devices or platforms, and to provide Our Platform Customers with information on the device types and platforms Ad Viewers used while viewing Clipcentric Ads.
We may use Embedded Scripts to generate and use other anonymous information, which may be passed to Our servers by Tracking Pixels where it is then stored in Server Log Files. We use this information to anonymously measure the efficacy of Clipcentric Ads and to create Clipcentric Ad campaign performance reports.
At the discretion of Platform Customers. Clipcentric Ads may use Cookies and/or persistent Local Storage to keep track of how many times an Ad Viewer has seen a particular Clipcentric Ad in a particular timeframe. This information may be used to customize how Clipcentric Ads are rendered to Ad Viewers. For example, We may display an alternate ad experience to Ad Viewers based on whether or not Ad Viewers have already seen the same Clipcentric Ad. We do not store any Personal Data in these Cookies or Local Storage, nor do We link the information We store in Cookies or Local Storage to any Personal Data. If a Platform Customer elects for their Clipcentric Ads to use Cookies or Local Storage, they may also determine whether to use first party or third party Cookies or Local Storage. Third party Cookies and Local Storage allows Clipcentric to keep track of how many times an Ad Viewer has seen a Clipcentric Ad across multiple publishers or publish domains. When Cookies are used in this way, they will expire within 2 years. When Local Storage is used, it may remain in your browser for an extended period of time. Clipcentric Ads include a consent mechanism, where Platform Customers or their Customer Distribution Partners, acting as Data Controllers, may indicate to Clipcentric whether or not using Cookies and/or Local Storage is authorized. Below is an example of the type of anonymous information that is stored in Cookies and Local Storage for these purposes:
We use Click-through Redirects to allow Us to track click activity on Clipcentric Ads, or to allow Our Platform Customers and their analytics partners (or their clients and their client's analytics partners) to track such activity. Click-through Redirect activity is stored in Our Server Log Files, and is analyzed in conjunction with other information to produce reports on the effectiveness of Clipcentric Ads for our Platform Customers.
Information Collection Methods and Use by Third Parties
Customer Custom Content
At the sole discretion of a Platform Customer, Clipcentric Ads may include content developed by or on behalf of the Platform
Customer or otherwise included within a Clipcentric Ad ("Customer Custom Content"). For example, Platform Customers may
include full Html documents within an Iframe embedded in a Clipcentric Ad, load a remote Embedded Script, direct the
Clipcentric Ad to set an Http Cookie, use a third party Tracking Pixel, or utilize Click-through Redirects.
Clipcentric is largely unaware of a Platform Customer's use of Customer Custom Content, and We do not handle, process, monitor or control any information collected as a result of Customer Custom Content ("Customer Custom Content Data Proceeds"), which may contain Personal Data, nor does Clipcentric know in advance or control the Customer Distribution Partners of a Platform Customer. Platform Customers are bound by their Platform Agreement with Clipcentric to adhere to applicable Data Protection Legislation with regards to Customer Custom Content Data Proceeds, and alone or in conjunction with their Customer Distribution Partners, have taken responsibility as independent Data Controllers of such information.
Platform Customers may pass information into Clipcentric Ads for the purposes of displaying customized ad experiences to Ad Viewers. In some cases, this information may be transferred to Clipcentric servers for processing. Platform Customers are obligated by their Platform Agreements to comply with applicable Data Protection Legislation with respect to information transmitted to Clipcentric in this manner. In this instance, Clipcentric is the Data Processor, and processes such information only as authorized by the applicable Data Controller.

Transfer of Information to Third Parties
In some cases, We may pass an individual's Precise Device Location (see
Policy for Ad Viewers » Information Collection Methods and Use by Clipcentric » Personal Data » Data you Knowingly Submit)
directly from Our server's temporary memory to a third party in order to provide the Clipcentric Services. For example, We
may pass this information to Google Maps in order to display nearby stores by means of the Google Maps API. In this
example, Clipcentric and Google act as independent Data Controllers of the information, each individually determining the
purposes and means of its processing.
Except for this use, and otherwise as described in Other Clipcentric Information Collection and Use Policies » Sharing of Information, We do not collect any Personal Data on behalf of third parties, nor do We transfer any of your Personal Data to third parties.

Clipcentric has further committed to refer unresolved DPF Principles-related complaints to a U.S.-based independent dispute resolution mechanism, BBB NATIONAL PROGRAMS.
