LoopMe is committed to protecting consumer privacy and respecting your
right to choice as it relates to advertising and the data used to help
serve interest-based advertising.
This privacy notice (“Privacy Notice”) explains who we are, how we
collect, share and use personal information about you, and how you can
exercise your privacy rights. This Privacy Notice applies

The information provided in this Privacy Notice applies to all applicable LoopMe entities, except where stated otherwise (e.g. where a provision is said to apply only to Chartboost, or only to LoopMe Ltd). We partner with publishers and marketers across the globe.
LoopMe is a member of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (“EDAA”) and the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) (US) and adheres to the EDAA guiding principles. LoopMe Ltd, the ultimate parent of the LoopMe business subsidiaries including Chartboost, was also awarded the ePrivacy seal for EU data protection, following an in-depth audit of LoopMe’s business, products and third party commercial relationships against high technical and legal standards relating to GDPR and other applicable legislation. ePrivacy is a leading independent body specialising in European data protection and privacy.
LoopMe Ltd also follows the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Principles and is a member of the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) in the UK. LoopMe Ltd participates in the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework and complies with the Policies and Specifications of this framework.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, please get in touch using the details in the “How to contact us" section below.
LoopMe is an outcomes-based video platform closing the loop
on brand advertising.
We work with a number of businesses helping advertisers to
promote their products and services to interested audiences
by connecting them with websites and apps with space to
offer for advertising (these we refer to as publishers).
LoopMe helps advertisers to deliver relevant online
advertising to visitors (i.e., you) to publisher websites
and apps.
At LoopMe, we understand the advertising technology
ecosystem and its many acronyms may be complex to
understand. To help, we have produced a glossary of the

3. What cookies and similar technologies we use in our services?
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect
and use personal information about you:
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are created on
your device through your web browser for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies are used to identify a User and store a
randomly generated identifier to identify his or her browser
across visits. LoopMe drops cookies if you are using a web
or mobile browser in order to identify you as a unique
User.
LoopMe uses cookies and other technologies for advertising,
including serving and personalising ads based on users’
interests. Our ‘viewer_token’ advertising cookie is used for
recording which adverts have been displayed on the page you
visited and enables us to ensure you are not shown the same
ads too many times. We can also use the data in this cookie
to report on effectiveness of the ads for the advertiser.
The viewer_token cookie is set to expire after 90
days.
In addition to the above, certain LoopMe advertisers may
implement the LoopMe pixel, their own pixels and or their
partner’s pixels on their websites (collectively, the
“Pixels”). Pixels are utilised for the purposes of providing
analytics to advertisers with regards to the advertiser’s
campaign (for example, to see how many users viewed the
advertiser’s campaign). We require our advertisers to
disclose the use of third-party pixels and/or cookies to end
users via their website. As these cookies and/or pixels are
added at the sole discretion of our advertisers you will be
subject to that advertiser’s privacy notice and/or privacy
policy.
We may access advertising IDs generated by your mobile
device, such as a Google Advertising ID or Android
Advertising ID on Android devices, an ID For Advertising
on Apple iOS devices and an Amazon Advertising ID on
Amazon devices. These advertising IDs are resettable
persistent identifiers generated by Android, iOS or Amazon
that allow online advertising companies like LoopMe to
recognize a device across apps, for advertising purposes.
You can control whether these will be shared by the mobile
device operator by changing the settings on your
device.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA and UK user only)
In the EEA or UK we must satisfy a "legal basis" for
processing your information. Our legal basis for collecting
and using the personal information described above will
depend on the personal information concerned and the purpose
for which we use it.
Consent
We process information for the purposes described below
when you have given us your consent to do so. The categories
of information used and why and how it’s processed are set
out below:
Legitimate interests
We rely on our legitimate interests or the legitimate
interests of a third -party where they are not outweighed by
your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms
("legitimate interests"), as follows:
Compliance With A Legal Obligation

7. How we keep personal information secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. |
8. International Data Transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to, and
processed in, countries other than the country in which you
are resident. These countries may have data protection laws
that are different to the laws of your country.
Specifically, our primary servers are located in the Netherlands, Europe, and our group companies and third party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and UK equivalent) for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA or the UK in accordance with European Union and/or UK data protection law. As mentioned above in Section 4, in very limited circumstances, LoopMe Ltd’s US subsidiary LoopMe Inc. acts as joint controller with LoopMe Ltd, e.g. transfers to US DSPs which have contracted with LoopMe Inc. |
9. Data retention
LoopMe retains personal information based on how long the
specific data is required for legal or business purposes.
LoopMe deletes all event level data (ad views, clicks
etc.) after 13 months. User profiles (against which the
event level data is stored) are classified as active or
dormant. If a profile has had an event within the last 60
days it will be classed as Active. If there has been no
event data the profile will become Dormant after 60 days.
Dormant profiles are deleted where there has been no
activity on the profile for a period of 13 months. Chartboost retains personal data in relation to Users
for a maximum of 365 days, after which it is either
anonymised or destroyed.
When we no longer need personal data, we securely delete
or anonymise it, or if this is not possible (for example,
because your personal information has been stored in
backup archives) then we will securely store your personal
information and isolate it from any further processing
until deletion is possible. Aggregated data, which cannot
identify a device/browser (or individual) and is used for
purposes of reporting and analysis, is maintained for as
long as commercially necessary.
If you have any questions about LoopMe's data retention
policy, please do get in touch using the contact
information in Section 12 (How to Contact Us).

10. Children
None of our services are directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a personal data belongs to an individual under 16, we will not use or maintain his/her personal data. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal data from a child under the age of 16, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records. |
