  1. INTRODUCTION

MAGGOMEDIA is committed to respecting and protecting individuals’ privacy rights. This Privacy Policy explains how MAGGOMEDIA, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, “MAGGOMEDIA” or “we”, “us”, “our”) collect, use, secure, and/or disclose end users’ (“you” or “your”) device-related information when (i) you view ads served by MAGGOMEDIA on third party websites or mobile apps (see the section below labeled “MAGGOMEDIA Ad Network”), and (ii) you visit the MAGGOMEDIA website at www.maggomedia.com (see section below labeled “MAGGOMEDIA Website”).

Any content aggregation services or features (such as displaying of stories, articles, pictures, blogs etc.) (whether through an app or other software integration) provided by MAGGOMEDIA on a device it is not, and will not be covered under the terms of this Privacy Policy, except to the extent the app or software promotes any interest based advertising by MAGGOMEDIA. We urge you to refer the applicable privacy policies of such services, separately, as and when such policies are made available by the respective issuers.

  1. MAGGOMEDIA ADVERTISING

2.1 WHAT IS THE MAGGOMEDIA AD NETWORK?

MAGGOMEDIA is a global ad network with a suite of ad tech products. MAGGOMEDIA partners with third-party mobile website publishers and mobile app developers to serve ads, on their respective sites and/or apps.  MAGGOMEDIA may also serve ads on sites and mobile applications owned or partially owned by MAGGOMEDIA. These ads may be customized to meet their respective users’ interests and geographic locations, which we may be obtained, derived or inferred from information that MAGGOMEDIA collects form users. Such information may include, among others, the patterns in which those users interact with such sites and apps (this type of advertising is often called “interest-based advertising” or “targeted advertising”). This enables MAGGOMEDIA’s partnering publishers and developers to provide content-rich services that are more relevant to the users, often utilizing the advertising revenues the ads generate to offer services free of charges or at subsidized prices. Further, MAGGOMEDIA may also obtain user data from its data partners, advertisers and/or advertisers’ partners to optimize digital advertising and/or for analytical purposes; including but not limited to, the provision of relevant advertising and reporting. Please note that collection, use or storage of such data is governed by the privacy policy of the issuing third party partners and/or advertisers.

MAGGOMEDIA may engage in cross-device data collection, which refers to the process of collecting data from devices that have been determined through statistical analysis to be linked or related. MAGGOMEDIA, or third parties engaged by MAGGOMEDIA to provide the cross-device data collection service, may use cross-device data to provide interest-based advertising services and deliver tailored ads to users across multiple devices.

2.2 WHAT INFORMATION DOES MAGGOMEDIA COLLECT?

When you view a MAGGOMEDIA ad on a site or app, MAGGOMEDIA may collect information about your device on which you have viewed the ad. This information enables MAGGOMEDIA to improve its services; including its ability to recognize your device when you use other sites and apps that are partnering or have partnered with MAGGOMEDIA.

(a) Information about your device

MAGGOMEDIA may collect some or all of the following information about your device: device type (e.g. smartphone, tablet, etc.),operating system (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry), network provider, mobile browser used (e.g. Safari, Internet Explorer etc.),platform, SDK version, timestamp, API key (identifier for application), application version, iOS Identifier for Advertising, iOS Identifier for Vendors, model, manufacture of device, OS version of device, User-agent string of the device, mac_address (ID associated with the WiFi or Ethernet interface adapter of a device), mac_address_md5 (MD5 hashed value of the mac_address), mac_address_sha1 (SHA1 hashed value of the mac_adress),  session start/stop time, locale (specific location where a given language is spoken), time zone, network status such as WiFi, the geo-location of your device (using GPS or other geo-location data) and the Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) or the Google Advertising ID (AAID) etc. In some countries, MAGGOMEDIA may also collect information such as international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), Internet (IP) addresses or geo-location data, which may be considered to be personal information and, in which case, MAGGOMEDIA ensures compliance with applicable laws in its collection or use of the same, to the extent applicable in such jurisdictions.

MAGGOMEDIA may collect the geo-location of your device only when an app or site, which leverages MAGGOMEDIA’s offerings through integration of MAGGOMEDIA’s technology/software (whether SDK, API or other integration) is active on the device. One way MAGGOMEDIA derives a device’s location is by collecting the device’s latitude and longitude coordinates through GPS. MAGGOMEDIA may infer the geo location of a device based on data collected through a WiFi identifier to which the device may be connected to, subject to country specific laws and/or industry guidelines related to such collection or inference practices. e.g: In the U.S. and UK, MAGGOMEDIA may infer geo-location through WiFi identifiers pursuant to obtaining user consent through applicable apps or sites.

(b) Information about ads presented on your device

MAGGOMEDIA also collects some or all of the following information about an ad presented on your device: (i) the content type of the ad (what the ad is about, e.g. games, finance, entertainment, news); (ii) the ad type (e.g. whether the ad is a text, image, or video based ad); (iii) where the ad is being served (e.g. the address of the site on which the ad appears); and (iv) certain information about post-click activity in relation to the ad including user interaction with such ad.

On occasion, MAGGOMEDIA’s partnering mobile publishers or app developers may also disclose to MAGGOMEDIA certain information, such as email addresses of users in a hashed format (not in raw format) that they have separately collected about you so that MAGGOMEDIA may improve the relevance of the ads served to you on their behalf. MAGGOMEDIA’s partnering mobile publishers or app developers do this in accordance with their own specific privacy policies and subject to their own applicable legal requirements. MAGGOMEDIA does not use the received aforementioned information for any purpose other than to serve you with interest-based ads or for reporting or analytical purpose(s).

2.3 HOW DOES MAGGOMEDIA USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED?

MAGGOMEDIA uses the information collected from your device to display advertising on your device, which may include interest-based advertising customized to individuals’ inferred interests, preferences and locations and to perform analysis aimed at improving MAGGOMEDIA‘s services.

The information collected from your device also helps MAGGOMEDIA to provide filtering options for publishers and developers to manage ads appearing on their sites and in their apps, and to provide targeting options for advertisers. This helps MAGGOMEDIA’s publishers and developer clients, among other things, avoid presenting you ads that you have already seen, and hence serve advertisements that are more likely to be of interest to you.

2.4 WHO DOES MAGGOMEDIA SHARE INFORMATION WITH?

(a) Publishers, Developers, Advertisers, Data Partners and Measurement Companies

MAGGOMEDIA may share the information it collects or receives regarding you as described in this Policy with its publishers, developers, data partners, measurement companies and advertisers. These partners may use this information to show you relevant ads, measure your ad/site interaction, identify your interest areas, better understand the site and app traffic usage or users’ behavior in order to refine and improve their services. Such partners’ use of the information shared by MAGGOMEDIA will be governed by their respective privacy policies.

(b) MAGGOMEDIA Affiliates

MAGGOMEDIA may also share your information with MAGGOMEDIA’s affiliates so that it can better provide advertising that is relevant to you.

(c) Third parties such as advisors and law enforcement authorities

From time to time, MAGGOMEDIA may also need to disclose your information to other third parties, such as law enforcement authorities or MAGGOMEDIA’s legal advisers, where such disclosures are necessary to: comply with the law or regulations; enforce or apply MAGGOMEDIA’s users’ terms and conditions; protect MAGGOMEDIA’s rights, or; preserve the safety of MAGGOMEDIA’s users. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.

MAGGOMEDIA may also share your information in connection with any merger, a sale of MAGGOMEDIA’s assets, or a financing transaction or acquisition of all, or a portion of MAGGOMEDIA’s business interest to a third party.

2.5 HOW DOES MAGGOMEDIA KEEP INFORMATION SECURE?

MAGGOMEDIA uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information it collects about you and your device. MAGGOMEDIA may anonymize the information it collects using one-way hashing technology before sharing it with any third parties. MAGGOMEDIA also seeks appropriate contractual protection from its partners regarding the treatment of user data.

2.6 HOW LONG DOES MAGGOMEDIA KEEP INFORMATION FOR?

MAGGOMEDIA may retain the information relating to your device collected from partnering mobile publishers or app developers for a period of up to thirteen (13) months, unless otherwise required by law or applicable contract. After the 13-month period, MAGGOMEDIA may retain and use such data in an aggregated format, as necessary for internal analytical purposes, to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

2.7 OPTING OUT OF INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING, SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES. RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN.

If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising from MAGGOMEDIA, you may opt out of interest-based advertising at any time by going to the MAGGOMEDIA Opt Out page and submitting your device ID.

Please note that if you opt-out of interest-based advertising you will continue to receive “generic” ads from MAGGOMEDIA.

To effectively opt-out of MAGGOMEDIA’s cross-device data collection activities, you must opt-out on every device browser and device using the appropriate opt-out methods.

The right to opt out in the California Consumer Privacy Act gives consumers the ability to direct MAGGOMEDIA not to sell their personal information to a third party. This provision does not stop MAGGOMEDIA from distributing the data within the organization that collected it (even to different business units). It also does not stop all transfers to third parties as MAGGOMEDIA can continue to provide personal information to their service providers pursuant to a written contract that meets the law’s requirements. Further, MAGGOMEDIA can continue to provide data that does not meet the definition of personal information.

If you prefer to prevent MAGGOMEDIA from selling your personal information to third parties, you may opt out of having your personal information sold to a third party at any time by going to the MAGGOMEDIA “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” page and submitting your device ID.
