How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights and Choices


When you submit your rights requests, we will require your name and contact details to facilitate communication and processing of your request. To safeguard your privacy and security, and to deter fraudulent or harmful activities, we may request additional information to authenticate your identity as legally allowed. For requests involving specific personal information, we will verify your identity with a reasonably high degree of certainty. For requests concerning categories of information, corrections, or deletions, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty. It is essential that you provide accurate information that aligns with our records to enable us to locate the correct information within our systems and our service providers. The information we may request includes your name, mailing address, and either your mobile phone number or email address. Do not send us, directly or indirectly, any sensitive or special categories of Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers or other national or state identifiers, health information, biometric data or genetic characteristics, criminal background information, financial account numbers, payment card information, and so on) on or through the Website or otherwise.   We will assess and address your request as mandated by law (or at our discretion if the law does not require it), and in accordance with our contracts, confidentiality commitments, and relevant laws and regulations. We might not be able to disclose all the requested information due to certain exceptions outlined in other applicable laws. If we lack enough information to confirm your identity, we might be unable to identify you and thus, unable to process your request. We will strive to verify your identity by comparing the information you provide in your request with the information we have about you. We might need to ask for more information to adequately identify you.

Authorized Agents


Under specific conditions, you have the right to appoint an authorized agent to submit requests related to your privacy rights on your behalf. The process of verifying the authority of the authorized agent to act on your behalf is as follows:
  1. Opt-Out Requests: If you wish to opt-out of the “sales” or “sharing” of personal information, we may ask you to provide a signed permission. This document should clearly demonstrate that you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf.
  2. Other Requests: For all other types of requests, we may require you to provide adequate evidence. This evidence should show that you have given the authorized agent signed permission to act on your behalf. Additionally, you would need to verify your own identity directly with us, following the instructions outlined in our Privacy Policy. Lastly, you would need to confirm directly with us that you have granted the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf.
This process ensures that your privacy rights are respected and that requests are handled appropriately and securely. It is important to note that these procedures are in place to protect your privacy and security, and to prevent unauthorized access or potential misuse of your personal information. Please ensure that the information you provide is accurate and up-to-date, as this will facilitate the processing of your request.

How to Opt Out of Interest Based Advertising

We recognize that your privacy is important to you, so we offer the following ways to give you control over the data that we collect from you. Opting out of Tailored Advertising: We use and share information we collect from both online and offline sources to inform the advertising you see online and to tailor it to your interests. This may include using information collected across the online applications you use, or information associated with hashed email addresses or other hashed identifiers.

The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) maintains a site with tools and instructions for how to opt out of Tailored Advertising by NAI member companies. VentiveIQ adheres to the NAI Code of Conduct. To opt out of Tailored Advertising by VentiveIQ and other NAI member companies, please visit: https://optout.networkadvertising.org  https://optout.networkadvertising.org/optout/email

 

Further, we also support our own VentiveIQ Opt-Out process. If you use multiple devices or multiple email addresses, make sure you apply the opt out or data control mechanisms provided to all of the web browsers, internet-connected devices, and email addresses you use for a complete opt-out. Opting out using a single browser, device, or email address will not automatically opt out all browsers, devices, or email addresses you use.

Other companies’ opt outs or data control mechanisms may function differently than ours. Note that when you opt out of Tailored Advertising, you may continue to receive contextual ads which are ads based on the content of the web page or app on which they appear.

We honor the mobile device settings for Android and Apple iOS devices. To exercise this opt-out, please visit the privacy settings of your Android or iOS device and select “limit ad tracking” (Apple iOS) or “opt-out of interest-based ads” (Android). For devices where we are able to see that such a selection has been made, we will not use information collected from that device to deliver targeted advertising. Also, please visit  https://youradchoices.com/appchoices to download the AppChoices Tool to control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device and https://thenai.org/opt-out/mobile-opt-out/ for more information and instructions on opting out on mobile devices.

You also have options to change settings in your devices to opt out of interest-based advertising.  Opting out of interest-based advertising is optional and does not mean you will no longer see advertising on the content or applications. It means that you may not be shown advertisements that have been tailored to your interests. Interest-based ads may be blocked by your service provider(s) whenever possible but sometimes device settings or browser settings may prevent your service provider(s) from setting opt-out configuration. See below for instructions on how to opt out.

 


On Your Mobile Device (Mobile Ad IDs (MAIDs) Privacy Preference Management)

 

You can manage your privacy preferences on your mobile device by adjusting your advertising preferences within their device settings. For example:

  •  Device Data. Device data includes details about the device(s) you use, such as its manufacturer; model; registered country code; mobile carrier; operating system and version; crash data (if applicable); and what settings and permissions you’ve enabled. Your device and software settings affect what information your device makes available to us such as the language you prefer to use on your mobile device; mobile applications you install on your device and purchase you make in those mobile applications; bluetooth or wireless preferences; and the like. We may collect this information from mobile devices, internet-connected televisions, desktop and laptop computers, and/or other internet-connected devices.
  • Identifiers. We collect identifiers such as mobile advertising IDs, IP addresses, cookies, and other identifiers from your device, and clear or hashed email addresses, names, phone numbers, or other identifiers that you voluntarily provide when you register, checkout, or otherwise enter data into an online or app form.
  • App and Site data. We collect information about the specific apps & sites you may use and/or visit on your device(s), such as the names of those apps, sites, and other relevant metadata.
  • Geolocation Data. We collect location data such as latitude, longitude, and timestamps directly from your device or other sources as mentioned above and from our Providers.
  • · Demographic Data. We collect information such as your age or gender that you voluntarily provide when you register or make a purchase on an app, website, or other such event. In some cases, this may be considered information about “protected classifications” under the CCPA.
  • Inferences. We may draw inferences from the information we collect from mobile devices to create audience segments reflecting consumer preferences and characteristics. Note that some of our data may fall into more than one of the above categories. For example, an IP address is both a unique identifier and device data.

B. From Third Parties and Aggregated Public Sources:

C. In Our Corporate Capacity and From our Site

People who visit VentiveIQ’s Site are generally representatives of businesses (such as for our Providers or our clients) that are interested in VentiveIQ’s Services, not individual consumers. When individuals visit our Site, they may choose to provide information to us, such as when they create or log in to their account with us, to contact us to request or provide information, or apply for a job. In addition, when you interact with our Site, we (and third parties) may collect technical information from your browser or device by automated means such as pixels, cookies, web beacons, local storage, JavaScript, API, and other similar technologies. We may also collect this kind of information when you interact with email messages we have sent you.

  • To provide the Advertising Services and associated analytics.
  • To facilitate research and analysis of consumer habits.
  • To make inferences about consumer interests.
  • To perform Data Modeling for quality control on our data solutions.

For instance, when a user visits or logs in to a website (or engages in a particular type of transaction), we might use the information we collect to help a business send advertising or content to the user across a different channel or device (such as mobile, TV, email or direct mail).
  • Our internal business purposes such as the development, enhancement, improvement, and release of new products and services. This allows us to create technology products that we license or sell to Customers.

INFORMATION FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS

Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration (as such terms are defined under Nevada law). If you are a Nevada resident, you may submit a request to opt out of sales under Nevada law by filling out this “opt-out” webform. Opting out will ensure that the provided information and associated information will not be shared or made available in our products and services. Please note we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.

INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL RESIDENT

 

Individual Rights. Local laws in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and some other jurisdictions (such as Canada and Brazil) may permit you to: obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal information about them, and receive information about how it is used and disclosed; obtain a copy of the personal information, and in some cases, receive it in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or have it be transmitted to a third party in such form; update, correct or delete the information; object to the use or disclosure of the information; withdraw consent previously provided for the handling of the information (without affecting the lawfulness of prior use and disclosure of the information); and obtain a restriction on the use of the information.

Individuals whose personal information is subject to the GDPR also have a right to “opt-out” of our handling of their personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Data Transfers. We are headquartered in the United States, and recipients of the data disclosures described in this Privacy Policy are located in the United States and elsewhere in the world, including where privacy laws may not provide as much protection as those of your country of residence. Per applicable law, we will ensure that transfers of personal information to such recipients are subject to appropriate safeguards.

DATA RETENTION

 

We may retain data for use with the VentiveIQ Services for up to 30 months from the most recent date of receipt. We may archive and store backups of those data for up to 10 years.

SECURITY MEASURES

 

VentiveIQ uses security controls to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. We take steps to help ensure that the data we possess is housed and transmitted securely. We use multiple types and layers of physical and electronic security, including firewall protections, encryption of data during transfer, and strict access controls to personal information. While neither we nor any platform can guarantee 100 percent safety from hacks or illegal intrusion, and thus, VentiveIQ cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. We make substantial efforts to ensure that this does not occur.

Grounds of Processing

In technical legal terms we process personal data under the ground of “legitimate interest”. VentiveIQ’s legitimate business interest is the supply of commercial data (and the marketing of our business). The purpose of this processing is to enable businesses to manage their financial risks, protect against fraud, know who they are doing business with, meet compliance and regulatory obligations and better understand organizations, industries and markets.

Updates to this Privacy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, such as to describe new types of data we collect or services that we offer. If you are interested in our data collection, use and sharing policies, we recommend that you check back to review these updates, as they occur.
