This Privacy Policy pertains to the Division-D Website at https://www.divisiond.com (the “Website”) as well as the Agency. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated. This policy may change periodically to reflect any changes in legal requirements, company procedures, company products, service offerings and/or technology.

 

Privacy Practices for the Website

 

The Website is used for providing business information to prospective clients and business partners. It is not directed to consumers. We do not sell consumer data as part of our business operations including via the Website. The Website serves as a marketing vehicle for Division-D. Division-D is committed to respecting your privacy and conducting business matters that follow all policies as required by law.

 

 

Collection and Use of “PII” (Personally Identifiable Information) on the Website

 

 

 

Collection and Use of “Non-PII” (Non-Personally Identifiable Information)

Privacy Practices for the Agency

 

Division-D functions as a leading direct-to-publisher digital media agency (the “Agency”) which facilitates digital media buys between top brands and publishers. The Agency directs 3rd party technology platforms, including other third party advertising networks and consumer data providers (our “Partners”) to help advertisers (our “Clients”) find the right digital audience and to help website and mobile application publishers (our “Publishers”) do a more effective job monetizing their content. The Agency does not physically store any data. Rather, we purchase media on behalf of our Clients and engage our Partners to serve the ads and provide additional services pursuant to ensuring the media we buy for Clients from our Publishers. We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance Code to the extent that it is applicable to our business.

 

 

Collection of Information via the Agency

 

The Agency doesn’t physically store information directly. Rather, information is collected and processed by our Partners pursuant to their privacy policies. We encourage you to read our Partners’ privacy policies. Generally, these partners collect Non-PII including but not limited to browser type, operating system, Internet Service Provider, IP address, and basic ad serving information such as the time and date an ad is served, the name of the mobile app or URLs from the web page visited. Some Partners work with us and our Clients to enable our Clients to bring their offline data into our systems for use by our technology. The business purpose(s) this data is used includes delivery and reporting of targeted advertising, measurement, attribution and market research – working generally with the types of pseudonymous personal data described above.

 

 

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 

Our Partners generally use cookies, mobile advertising IDs and similar tracking technologies in order to more effectively run ad campaigns on our behalf. Division-D does not generally use cookies in connection with the Agency.

California Data Subjects

 

Starting January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides additional privacy protections for California data subjects and users, including: a) the right to see what data we have about you, your computer or device (i.e., the right to know), b) the right to delete the data we have about you, your computer or device (i.e., the right to delete) and c) the right to opt-out of the sale of data about you, your computer or device to certain third parties (i.e., the right to opt-out from sales of your information). We do not discriminate against you if you exercise any of the above rights. Moreover, we may not be able to honor a right if doing so would violate applicable law.

 

You may access those rights with respect to Division-D by scrolling up and reading the section entitled “Data Subject Access Rights” or by sending us an email at

 privacy@divisiond.com. As a California data subject, if you make a subject access request as set out in this policy, you are entitled to see and delete the personal information that we have about you. We will confirm your request within 10 days and make a good faith attempt to fulfill your request within 45 days. In 2020, Division-D did not directly receive any requests to know, delete or opt-out from California consumers.

 

Under the CCPA, your request to see the personal information that we have about you may include: (1) specific pieces of personal information that we may have about you; (2) categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you; (5) categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose under the CCPA; and (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

 

We may take reasonable steps to verify your request. We will fulfill requests we are able to verify so long as we are not prohibited from doing so by applicable law and/or the information is not essential for us for billing, fraud prevention or security purposes. We will share our reason(s) for denying your request in the event that we are unable to fulfill your request.

 

You may make an access or deletion request via an authorized agent by having such agent follow the process below. Please note that we will request any authorized agent demonstrate that they have been authorized by you to make a request on your behalf. And we will attempt to verify your request. We require any authorized agents to provide us with contact details such as an email address and phone number so that we may ensure a timely response.

 

 

European Economic Area

 

The General Data Privacy Regulation (“GDPR”) affords additional data protection rights to EU data subjects. For example, with respect to EU data subjects, the definition of personal data includes pseudonymous data such as an IP address, a mobile advertising ID or a cookie ID. EU Data subjects have the right to complain to EU Supervisory Authorities and the right to access, port, correct and delete certain personal data processed by Division-D (e.g., via the Website) and those Partners that serve ads on our behalf to EU data subjects via the Agency. You may access those rights with respect to Division-D by scrolling up and reading the section entitled “Data Subject Access Rights” or by sending us an email at privacy@divisiond.com.

 

While Division-D does not physically store personal data in the context of the Agency, we do have Clients located in the EU and we do place media buys on behalf of Clients which may collect data from data subjects located in the EU. Our Clients and Publishers direct us to process data under their general instructions, but we may direct our technology Partners to adjust advertising campaigns where we feel appropriate. We rely on the consent of the individual to process personal data in some instances (for example, when the user inputs personal data onto a web form of our Website). On other occasions, Division-D may process personal data when needed to fulfill a contract with a Client or partner or where required to do so by law.

 

We may also process data when it is in our or our Clients’ legitimate interests to do this and when these interests are not overridden by the individual’s data protection rights (which may vary based on an individual’s jurisdiction). Certain Publishers, Clients and Partners choose not to operate in the EU and/or collect data from EU data subjects – and each has a process to ensure they are not collecting personal data from the EU in relation to the Agency.

 

To the extent that our processing activities require the transfer of personal data from EU data subjects to a jurisdiction that does not have an adequacy designation from the EU, we will find a suitable data transfer mechanism such as the Standard Contractual Clauses. If you have questions about this, or want to understand your rights in more detail, please feel free to contact us at privacy@divisiond.com.

Division-D is not responsible for the methods by websites or applications that contain links on the Website or are linked to its website nor the contact and information presented therein. Third-party Internet websites and services accessible through Division-D have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Division-D. Division-D has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. The collection and use of that data is governed by the privacy policy and legal terms of the data collector and the website using the data; it is not governed by Division-D.
