Use of our Services – SSP

Through our SSP Services, the following cookies are dropped onto our clients’ customers’ devices:

Cookie Name	Cookie Type	Notes
UID	Persistent. This cookie is always set.	This is a unique, anonymous browser-identifier that allows us to know that the browser has been seen before. The cookie is used in the provision of the Services and to help generate statistics to show how many people may have seen particular advertising. The cookie is valid for one month and may be deleted but will be re-issued when another advertisement is requested from the system.
SessionID	Session. This cookie is always set.	SessionID tells the system that the request is part of a single session by a user. Advertisers would prefer not to show too many of the same ads to the same user in a single session. This cookie helps prevent that. The cookie expires at the end of the session and should be removed by the browser. It may be deleted but will be re-issued when another advertisement is requested from the system and deletion may result in repeat showing of otherwise restricted advertisements.
OA*CAP and OA*BLOCK cookies	Persistent. These cookies are only set when required.	These types of cookies tell the system to limit the number of times a browser may see a particular advertisement. The cookies can be valid for different time periods, depending on the limits of individual advertising campaigns, but are generally valid for between 30 days and 1 year. The cookies are removed when the campaigns to which they are attached are completed. If the cookies are rejected or deleted then the limitations on seeing individual advertisements may not be applied correctly. If the cookies are deleted the limits are re-set and a browser may see more of the advertisements that intended by the advertiser.
Uid-bp-	Persistent. These cookies are always set.	We connect customers to other advertising systems (buying partners) who buy video advertising space. Many of our buying partners need to know their unique identifier for a browser before they place an advertisements. Generally, this prevents buyers from showing the same video too many times to a single user across multiple websites. In order to match a buyer’s identifier to our system a synchronization process will set a cookie (beginning uid-bp-) which contains a user/browser identifier from the buying partner. This identifier can then be used in the advertising process. The cookies are valid for 1 year. These cookies may be deleted but will be re-set when the buyer is encountered again. The cookie contains an identifier set by the buyer’s system. Details of the cookies from our buying partners can be found on their websites. This data may be used by buying partners to target advertisements. We have no access to this data.
Dp-	Persistent. This cookie is only set when a marketplace has activated a third-party data service.	If our publisher partner uses an external provider of data (also known as a Data Management Platform, DMP) they may provide some of the data to our system to help when selling of advertisements. Our customers can set their own expiration period for this cookie from 30 days to 1 year. It may be deleted but will be re-issued when a request is made to our system. The data contained is controlled by the marketplace & data management platform who will be able to provide more details about the type of data referenced. This data is used to target advertisements.

Notice of California Consumer Data Collection and Sharing Practices

This Privacy Policy includes descriptions of our data collection practices, including the personal information we collect, the sources of that information, the purposes for which we collect information, and whether we sell or disclose that information to external parties. We may use any and all of the information for any of the purposes described in the privacy policy, unless limitations are listed. The categories we use to describe the information are those enumerated in the CCPA.

For Consumers:

• Personal Identifiers: We collect IP addresses and unique identifiers (such as account identifiers, cookie identifiers, and device IDs).
• Commercial Information: We collect purchasing tendencies or histories from third parties and connect that data to the categories of personal information listed here.
• Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information: We collect information about your internet service provider, as well as information regarding your interactions with websites and advertisements.

For individuals who provide data directly to Freewheel:

• Personal Identifiers:
  • We may collect your name, employer, job title, telephone number, email address, and postal address. If you create an account, you will be asked to create a username and password to access our Services.

The categories of service providers with whom we share information and the service they provide are described in this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose information to other external parties who are not listed here when required by law or to protect FreeWheel or other persons, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

On certain occasions, we sell information to third parties. The categories of these third parties are identified above in the section marked “Sharing Information”. An external party may be considered a third party either because the purpose of sharing is not an enumerated business purpose under California law, or because our contract does not restrict them from using personal information for other purposes. To “sell” information means to disclose it to an external party for monetary or other benefit. We sell the following information:

• Identifiers: We provide unique personal identifiers, online identifiers, internet protocol address, or other similar identifiers to our advertising partners.
• Internet or other Electronic Network Activity Information: We provide information regarding your interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement with our affiliates, advertising partners, data analytics providers, and audience measurement companies.

You have the right to opt-out of this sale of your personal information. To do so, please submit a request to us by either calling us at (888) 930-6228 or sending an email to FW_California_Consumers_CCPA_Data_Requests@freewheel.com.

Please note that, in relation to data that we process as part of our services, it is usually the case that we cannot respond to your request or provide you with your personal information because we cannot reasonably verify your identity or authority to make the request, because this data only contains identifiers which are not linked by us to your name, email or residential address or other information which allows us to verify your identity. Therefore, in relation to data that we process as part of our services, your request should be submitted directly to our customers.

Our Services to Customers

We are an application services provider, and host a software application that our customers access online. Although end users have a right to access their personal data collected by our customers, we have no direct business relationship with the end users of our customers. If you are a customer of one of our customer and would no longer like to be contacted by one of our customers that use our Service, please direct your requests to our customer that you interact with directly. We will transfer personal data to companies that help us provide our service. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our customers.

An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct his query to the FreeWheel’s customer (the data controller). If requested to remove data we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

We also have no control over the content of the advertisement, including any cookies and web beacons set by advertisers on our customers’ Sites. Each customer understands that in the course of providing Services to it, we collect or receive information from the web browsers of individuals that are either visiting such customer’s web property or viewing content that is owned or displayed by such customer. This information includes frequency of ads delivered and other delivery statistics, time, browser type and version, visitor’s operating system, device type, referral URL, visitors’ IP addresses, visitors’ countries inferred from their IP addresses, and cookie data, including user IDs. We require our customers to obtain consent for our use of such information and we use it for our provision of Services and enforcement of our rights as described in the applicable customer contract, to improve our Services, and to compile aggregated statistics for internal or marketing purposes.

We do not possess or have access to information that could match IP addresses or user IDs to the identity of individuals. We do not allow visitor information collected and stored for one customer to be accessed by any other customer. Further, we may use and retain such information only as provided in its agreement with our customer. We require each of our customers to abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations that are applicable to their use of our Services, and we promise each customer that we will do the same with respect to our provision of Services. We ask each customer to post a privacy policy that covers our Services and to maintain all necessary rights to allow us to provide the Services, including without limitation to receive the information that we collect and store on such customer’s behalf. We also require each customer to prevent personal data to be sent to us (other than IP addresses, device IDs and user IDs). An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct his query to our applicable customer (the data controller) which has transferred such data to us for processing. If requested to remove data we will respond to such request within a reasonable timeframe.
