Privacy Policy 

Tidok Media Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Tidok”, “we”, “Us” or “Our”) put great efforts in making sure that we secure your personally identifiable information and use properly.

Tidok is an international digital marketing company providing advertisers, agencies, publishers and application developers (“Customers”) with a wide range of digital and programmatic advertising solutions (“Service”).

This policy explains our privacy practices for processing personally identifiable information on Tidok’s advertising solutions and platforms (the “Service”) and Tidok’s Websites (the “Site”). We process your personally identifiable information subject to the terms of this policy.

 

The Service

Tidok provides Customers custom digital and programmatic based advertising solutions supported by large data analytics, proprietary platforms and optimization technologies. As such, Tidok has no direct interaction with the individuals that visit Customers’ websites (“Users”).

The personally identifiable information Tidok collects is typically used for Real-Time Bidding: complex technological tools or platforms that enable advertising buyers to bid in “real time” for the opportunity to show an online advertisement when a web page is loaded, or an app is used by the User.

Customers are required, according to Tidok’s agreements with Customers, to provide an appropriate notice to Users about this Privacy Policy.

 

The Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect

Tidok collects personally identifiable information in several ways (as described below) to provide the Service and for other specific purposes, as described in this policy. Please note that you are not required by law to provide us personally identifiable information.

Data collected through Customers’ websites and ads

When Users engage with Customers’ website or Customers’ ads, we will obtain the following types of personally identifiable information through our engagement with Customers:

1. Data that User provides to the Customers, including registration details, age, gender and geo-location;
2. Data about User’s device, including device dimensions, model, manufacturer, operating system and the origin of the data (the application or website that User used);
3. IP address and connection type;

We obtain such information by using digital identifiers. You can find more information on our digital identifiers below:

• Beacons, Pixels and Tags: Beacons (also sometimes referred to as web beacons or pixels) and tags enable online advertising companies to collect data, serve advertising, and provide related services, such as measurement or fraud prevention, on websites by allowing communication between a web browser and a server. A beacon is a small transparent image that is placed on a web page.
• A tag is a small piece of computer code that is run by the web browser.
• Mobile SDK: A mobile SDK is the mobile app version of a beacon or tag (see Beacons and Tags above). The SDK is a piece of computer code that publishers include in their apps to enable ads to be shown and to enable related services, such as measurement or fraud prevention, including by collecting and analyzing data which is available through the device on which the mobile SDK is installed.
• Cookie: A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a web browser by a website or ad server. By saving information in a cookie, websites and servers can remember preferences or recognize browsers from one visit to another or from one website to another.
• Non-Cookie Technology: Today’s online world is becoming increasingly complex, with a proliferation of new devices, software platforms, online services and other technology. As such, cookies are not always available. Therefore, companies are using alternative methods to distinguish devices. For example, some platforms, such as Apple’s iOS and Google’s Play Services for Android, provide unique IDs to be used for advertising. Most mobile devices are assigned unique identifiers that also may be used to distinguish devices. Additionally, it is possible to use mathematical techniques to make intelligent guesses about recognizing devices.

 

Our Site and Blog

When you access our Site or Blog, our servers log certain ‘traffic/session’ information from your device, such as your user agent and the Internet Protocol (IP) address.

When you use our Site or Blog, we collect information about your activity, for example your log-in and log-out time, the duration of sessions, viewed web-pages or specific content on web-pages, activity measures and geo-location of your device.

If you register with the Service we will need information such as your name, your company name, email address and password, for registration and notice purposes and your payment details to process your payment for the Service.

The Site will also include links to third-party social media websites such as Facebook®, Twitter®, LinkedIn® and Google+®, as well as associated social media features and scripts, such as the Facebook® “like” button and widgets.

These features and scripts will collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Site, and will set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by the applicable third party social media website or hosted directly on the Site.

Your interactions with these social media features and widgets, as well as your interactions with the social media websites themselves, are governed by the privacy policies of the applicable social media websites.

If you submit personally identifiable information in a comment on a blog post or on any applicable social media website, you should be aware that the personally identifiable information that you submit can be read, collected or used by others and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise contact you without your consent or desire.

We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information that you choose to submit in these forums.

When you contact us, or when we contact you, we will receive and process any personally identifiable information that you provide us.

We display personal testimonials of satisfied Customers on the Site in addition to other endorsements. With your consent we will post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us at: privacy@tidok.com

 

What Do We Do with Personally Identifiable Information?

We use the personally identifiable information we collect and receive to provide the Service, to enable the Service’s tools and features, to study and analyze the functionality of the Service and Customers’ and Users’ activities, to provide support, to measure Service activity for pricing purposes, to maintain the Service, to make it better and to continue developing the Service.

We will use Customer’s email address to contact Customer when necessary, to send reminders and to provide information and notices about the Service. We will include commercial and marketing information.

We obey the law and expect you to do the same. If necessary, we will use personally identifiable information to enforce our terms, policies and legal agreements, to comply with court orders and warrants, and assist law enforcement agencies, to collect debts, prevent fraud, misappropriation, infringements, identity thefts and any other misuse of the Service, and to take any action in any legal dispute and proceeding.

We commit to process personally identifiable information solely for the purposes described in this policy.

 

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Others

We will share your personally identifiable information with service providers and other third parties, if necessary to fulfill the purposes for collecting the information, provided that any such third party will commit to protect your privacy as required under the applicable law and this policy.

We will also share personally identifiable information with companies or organizations connected, or affiliated with us, such as subsidiaries, sister-companies and parent companies, with the express provision that their use of such information must comply with this policy.

We will report and share user personally identifiable information, if we believe that we are required to do so by law. We will need to disclose personally identifiable information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Additionally, a merger, acquisition or any other structural change will require us to transfer your personally identifiable information to another entity, as part of the structural change, provided that the receiving entity will comply with this policy.

 

Aggregated and Analytical Information

We use standard analytics tools. The privacy practices of these tools are subject to their own privacy policies and they use their own cookies to provide their service (for further information about cookies, please see the ‘Cookies’ section in this policy).

We use the standard analytics tools of Google Analytics and we will use additional or other analytics tools, from time to time. The privacy practices of these tools are subject to their own privacy policies. See Google Analytics Privacy Policy at: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

We use anonymous, statistical or aggregated information and will share it with our partners for legitimate business purposes. It has no effect on your privacy, because there is no reasonable way to extract data from the aggregated information that we or others can associate specifically to you.

 

Your Choice

At any time, you can unsubscribe from our mailing lists or newsletters, by sending us an opt-out request to: privacy@tidok.com.

At any time, you can disable your account through your account page.

However, we will store and continue using or making available your personally identifiable information according with our data retention section in this policy.

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal. A DNT signal is a HTTP header field indicating your preference for tracking your activities on the Service or through cross-site user tracking. Our Service does not respond to DNT signals.

We retain different types of personally identifiable information for different periods, depending on the purposes for processing the information, our legitimate business purposes as well as pursuant to legal requirements under the applicable law.

To the extent necessary under EU privacy laws and regulations, we will implement data onward transfer instruments, such as the Controller to Processor SCCs, the Controller to Processor SCCs, the Privacy Shield Framework and a statement of compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, and such other lawful instruments to transfer personally identifiable information, as may be available from time to time.

 

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files that a web server sends to a user’s device, when the user browses online.

Your device removes session cookies when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies last for longer periods. You can view the expiry date of each cookie, through your browser settings.

We use both types. We use persistent cookies to remember your log-in details and make it easier for you to log-in the next time you access the Service. We use this type of cookies and Session Cookies for additional purposes, to facilitate the use of the Service’s features and tools.

Every browser allows you to manage your cookies preferences. You can block or remove certain cookies, or all of them through your browser settings. Please bear in mind that blocking or removing cookies will have an effect on your user experience with our Service/ For example, you will need to re-enter your log-in details, or even prevent you from using features of the Service.

We also use clear gifs which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier (but do not retain any personally identifiable information), which are used to count user or visitor visits/clicks to web pages while using the Service.

 

Information Security

We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your personally identifiable information, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information.

These measures provide sound industry standard security. However, although we make efforts to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee that the Service will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.

 

Dispute Resolution

We do periodical assessments of our data processing and privacy practices, to make sure that we comply with this policy, to update the policy when we believe that we need to, and to verify that we display the policy properly and in an accessible manner. If you have any concerns about the way we process your personally identifiable information, you are welcome to contact our data protection officer at: privacy@tidok.com.

We will look into your query and make good-faith efforts to resolve any existing or potential dispute with you.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

From time to time, we will update this policy. If the updates have minor if any consequences, they will take effect 7 days after we post a notice on the Service’s website. Substantial changes will be effective 30 days after we initially posted the notice.

Until the new policy takes effect, if it materially reduces the protection of your privacy right under the then-existing policy you can choose not to accept it and terminate your use of the Service. Continuing to use the Service after the new policy takes effect means that you agree to the new policy. Note that if we need to adapt the policy to legal requirements, the new policy will become effective immediately or as required by law.
