This Privacy Notice is meant to give you information about what personal data we collect about you, how we use it, why we use it, and how you control the data processing.

Certain data protection laws, including the laws in the EU, differentiate between a party that determines why and how personal data is processed (called a "controller") and a party that processes personal data solely on the controller's behalf and according to the controller's instructions (called a "processor"). We are the controller with respect to the processing described in this Privacy Notice.
Certain jurisdictions only allow the processing of personal data where a legal basis has been established. Under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the possible legal bases include, but are not limited to: your consent; the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you; the processing is necessary to fulfill our legal obligations; or a company has a legitimate business interest to process your personal data.
Below is a description of the types of personal data we collect, how we use it, and the reason why we consider each use lawful. You have no legal obligation to provide us with personal data, but if you don't provide us with certain information, we may not be able to provide you with the associated services.

Through our services, we enable third-party publishers to display online advertisements to end users who use or otherwise interact with certain websites, mobile apps and connected TV applications of the publishers. In the course of providing the services, we collect or receive the following personal data from such end users: IP address, device ID, user agent, and browsing history (e.g. the sites you visited before visiting the publisher's site). We also process geo-location data from such end users' devices (derived from IP address), which may include end users' location to a relatively precise degree, depending on the device settings.
How we use this data: We use this data to: (i) facilitate real-time auctioning of ad inventory to advertisers and their platforms, including by matching visitors across sessions for frequency capping (limiting how often you see the same ad), attribution (measuring ad effectiveness) and to identify visitors' interests to match relevant advertisements; (ii) detect and filter bot traffic, invalid traffic or other fraudulent or malicious activities, to protect our interests and assets and those of publishers and partners; and (iii) derive aggregated and anonymized insights based on the foregoing data to analyze trends and insights, to improve ad delivery and optimize our services.
Legal basis: When we process this data to provide advertisements to you, we do so based on your consent, as obtained by the relevant publisher. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the publisher directly. Additional information regarding Marketing Services is provided in Section 3 below. When we process this data for fraud detection, security purposes, and service optimization, we do so on the basis of our legitimate interests to maintain and improve our services, and to maintain the integrity of our, the publishers' and our partners' assets.
As described above, we may use personal data we collect for advertising and marketing purposes as part of the services we provide to our customers (publishers). In the digital advertising ecosystem, visitor data flows between multiple parties to facilitate real-time advertising. When a visitor interacts with a publisher digital asset where our services are implemented, we collect the data described above and share it with partners and participants in the real-time bidding (RTB) process. This includes supply-side platforms (SSPs) that represent publishers' ad inventory, demand-side platforms (DSPs) that represent advertisers' buying interests, ad exchanges that facilitate the auction process, and ultimately advertisers and their advertising agencies who bid on and purchase ad placements. We also share such data with our partners who provide data enrichment services (such as adding demographic or interest-based insights to user profiles), identity synchronization services (to match user identifiers across different platforms for consistent ad experiences), and advertising technology solutions that support ad delivery and measurement. Each of these parties acts as a controller of the data and processes such data in accordance with their respective privacy notice and applicable legal requirements. A list of our current main partners, including identity resolution and data enrichment providers, is available in Annex B to this Privacy Notice.
We serve online ads based on the activity data we collect using cookies. You can change the way your browser manages cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser, as explained in Section 9.5 (How to Adjust Your Preferences).
Each mobile device is given a unique string of letters and numbers called a "Device ID". Device IDs are retrieved by apps and used to perform various functions, such as to communicate with servers. We use Device IDs to serve you with ads. Device IDs can be used to track which apps were downloaded by the particular device as well as in-app activity on that device. This information, especially when combined with other identifying information, gives us insights into the preferences and interests of the owner of a given device and allows us to serve you with ads that we believe will appeal to you.
We collect Android's advertising identifier (AAID) from your device for advertising and user analytics only. We do not connect AAIDs to persistent device identifiers for advertising purposes. When we connect AAIDs to other personal data, we do so based on your explicit consent. When we use AAIDs for analytics purposes, we do not connect them with any other personal data. We use AAIDs in accordance with Google Play's Ads Policy.
We share your personal data as follows:
Data that is collected through publishers' assets as part of our provision of the services may be shared with the relevant publisher or advertisers placing advertisements on such assets. As part of our advertising services, we also work with identity resolution providers, such as ID5, to match user identifiers across different platforms and devices for a consistent advertising experience. For details on the main partners we work with, please see Annex B below. Advertisers, publishers and other partners are able to combine the personal data they collect independently with personal data we share with them and are considered separate, independent controllers of such data. For more information about how these parties process your personal data, please contact them directly.
Below are the types of service providers we use, the service each provides, and the types of data shared with each. All service providers have agreed to confidentiality restrictions and have undertaken to use your personal data solely as we direct.
If we are looking to sell our company, liquidate assets, or merge with another, we may share your personal data with other interested parties as part of negotiations toward that transaction. In such case, or where we do sell our company, your personal data shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Privacy Notice.
We may share your personal data with government agencies or other relevant parties, such as a law office or independent auditor: (i) if we believe that such disclosure is appropriate to protect our rights, property or safety (including the enforcement of this Privacy Notice) or those of a third party; (ii) if required by law or court order; or (iii) as is necessary to comply with any legal and/or regulatory obligations, such as audit requirements.
Some of our service providers are located in countries other than your own. When we transfer your personal data internationally, we will do so safely and securely and in accordance with applicable law.
If you are located in the EU, when we share your personal data with third parties based outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), we will ensure that they sign agreements that require them to comply with applicable law, keep your data secure at levels similar to the level described in this Privacy Notice, and make sure that your data protection rights are protected. We will also implement the following safeguards:
Please contact us at contact@smartivi.ai if you would like further information on the specific mechanism we use when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
The security of your personal data is our highest priority. We work hard to make sure that your personal data will be held securely and that it will not be shared or lost accidentally. However, it is impossible to guarantee absolute security. The security of your data also depends on the security of the devices you use and the way in which you protect your user IDs and passwords. Our measures include:
The electronic safeguards we employ to protect your personal data include secure servers, firewalls, expiration mechanisms, and antivirus protections. If you are a visitor to a publisher digital asset on which our services are implemented, we encrypt your IP address, user IDs and similar data in transit using secure TLS 1.3 protocols, and implement pseudonymization techniques such as IP masking and hashing identifiers.
We limit access to your personal data only to authorized personnel who have a need to know, including account managers, customer support staff, and software developers. We review these permissions regularly and revoke an employee's access immediately after their termination. We require employees to sign non-disclosure agreements according to applicable law and industry customary practice.
Depending on which laws apply, you have certain legal rights over your data. Below is some general information about rights that may apply to you, but we recommend checking the law or consulting with a lawyer to understand what applies in your specific case. To exercise your rights, please contact us at contact@smartivi.ai. If you want to exercise your rights regarding your personal data held by other controllers, you can contact the applicable controller directly. We may ask for reasonable evidence to verify your identity before we can comply with any request.
A cookie is a small piece of text that is sent to your browser by a website you visit. This piece of text acts as a sort of tag, letting the website know that it's you (really, your device) that's visiting. There are other technologies that act similarly, like web beacons, pixel tags, and Device IDs for apps, but for simplicity's sake we'll refer to them all as "cookies".
Websites can place their own cookies (called "first-party cookies") but can also place cookies from other sites (called "third-party cookies"). If your browser holds both first and third-party cookies for a given website, both the website and the third party are notified when you visit the site. We may place both first and third-party cookies on our site.
While the specific names and types of cookies we use on our site may change from time to time, they generally fall into one of the categories listed below.
Third-Party Cookies. In addition to our first-party cookies, we place cookies from the following third parties:
In the course of providing services to our customers, we place advertising cookies on publisher assets. These cookies help advertisers show you ads. When we place advertising cookies, they help us track the efficiency of advertising campaigns. Advertising cookies may track your browsing habits and activity when visiting the publisher's assets and those of third parties, and help us serve ads that are relevant and meaningful to you and your interests.
Most web browsers are initially configured to accept cookies, but you can change the settings so your browser refuses all cookies or certain types of cookies. In addition, you are free to delete any existing cookies at any time. Please note that some features of the services may not function properly when cookies are disabled or removed. For example, if you delete cookies that store your account information or preferences, you will be required to input these each time you visit.
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices on our site at any time by clicking Cookie settings, which is also available at the bottom of every page.
By changing your device settings, you can prevent your device's ad identifier from being used for interest-based advertising, or you can reset your device's ad identifier. This means that you won't be shown ads that relate to your browsing activities. Typically, you can find the ad identifier settings under "privacy" or "ads" in your device's settings, although settings may vary from device to device. Adjusting your preferences does not mean you will no longer receive ads; it only means the ads that you do see may be less relevant to your interests.
You may have access to third-party services through our services. Please note that all use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to such third party's terms and privacy policies. We do not take any responsibility for the performance of other services.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for whom parental consent would be needed for such collection. In the event that you become aware that an individual for whom parental consent is needed has visited our site and/or used the services, please advise us immediately. The relevant age varies per jurisdiction and is usually between 13 and 16 years.
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to keep it up to date with legal requirements and the way we operate our business. We will place any updates on this webpage. Please come back to this page every now and then to make sure you are familiar with the latest version.
