  1. The Purposes of Using Personal Data

Skydeo collects and uses personal data as part of its Services for the following purposes:

  1. Interest-Based Advertising

We help companies serve personalized advertising across the Internet, including web browsers and mobile applications, in a variety of ways such as banner and video ads. Some of the online ads you are served may be based on the content of the webpage you’re visiting; others may be based on registration or other information you provide to us and our partners; and other ads may be customized based on predictions about your interests generated from your visits to other websites. This practice of customizing and providing online ads is often called interest-based advertising, or targeted advertising, or cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

Some examples of our interest-based advertising activities include:

  • Helping Customers identify and target ads to online audiences based on common demographics and/or disclosed (actual or inferred) interests or preferences (e.g., consumers interested in winter apparel). When we do this, we handle information provided by our Customers (for instance, their own consumer files) and “match” their information through pseudonymization techniques (such as through coded data “hashing”) with online cookies and other identifiers. We then use these cookies and identifiers to target and measure ad campaigns online across various display, mobile and other media channels.
  • Assisting clients by creating “identity” graphs, to help locate users across various channels, such as connecting identities based on common personal, device-based, or network-based identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, IP address, or hashed email address).
  1. Data for Marketing and Analytics Purposes

Skydeo collects personal data from the sources identified above and infers personal data to create Consumer databases. Skydeo’s Consumer databases help companies get a full view of their customers and prospective customers to help them predict future buying behaviors and to help them build brand loyalty. Skydeo’s Consumer databases enable marketers to connect with new and existing consumers in both digital and offline channels, such as direct mail and online advertisements. Additionally, Skydeo’s Consumer database can be used by companies for analytics purposes to provide insights on trends in the marketplace or business intelligence related to the company’s industry.

Some examples of the use of our data for marketing and analytics services include (which may overlap with interest-based advertising activities, above):

  • Providing marketing information to our Customers, generally regarding their marketing, fundraising, customer service and engagement, and outreach activities.
  • Providing information to companies about customers and prospective customers in order for the companies to provide better service, improved offerings, and promotions.
  • To build Data Segments.
  • Assisting in targeting and optimizing of direct mail and email campaigns, display, mobile and social media marketing.
  • Measuring the effectiveness of online or offline ad campaigns by determining which messages are most likely to be seen or opened by which types of consumers, or which types of ads are most likely to lead to purchases.
  • Analyzing and optimizing our clients’ (or their service providers’) proprietary databases, or helping clients to identify and mitigate potential fraud.
  • Creating trend reports and business intelligence to be used by companies in the development of new products or financial projections

To find out more about interest-based advertising in the web environment, and how to opt-out of information collection for this purpose by companies that participate  the Digital Advertising Alliance,  DAA’s Consumer Choice Page. EEA and Swiss residents, please refer to www.youronlinechoices.com.

H. Right to opt-out of the use of Device Data.

As described above, Skydeo may use or transfer Device Data that it directly collects or that it receives from Skydeo’s Customers, who may use cookies or non-cookie technologies, to enable advertising that is more tailored to Consumers’ inferred interests, preferences, and locations. This practice is known as interest-based advertising. Skydeo may also collect, use or transfer Device Data collected from one device for interest-based advertising on other devices that may be linked to the device where data was collected. This is known as cross-device linking.

Skydeo, and some of Skydeo’s Customers, provide the ability for Consumers to opt out of the collection and use of mobile app data across apps over time on a device, for interest-based advertising purposes, through the DAA’s AppChoices tool. To opt out of Skydeo’s collection, use, and transfer of such app usage data and of Device Geolocation Data, for interest-based advertising purposes, Consumers can download AppChoices onto the relevant mobile device and exercise choice through the app. When such choice is exercised on a device, Skydeo will also stop using and transferring Device Data from that device for interest-based advertising on other linked devices, and will stop using Device Data from other linked devices for interest-based advertising on the device from which choice was exercised. AppChoices is available at the links below:

DAA AppChoices iOS
DAA AppChoices Android
DAA AppChoices Amazon

Please note that Consumers who use more than one mobile device should renew their opt-out choices on each device. Consumers who opt out from use of their Device Data as part of Skydeo’s Services may continue to receive interest-based advertising from other companies.

This will opt you out of many –but not all- of the interest-based advertising activities in which Skydeo or its third party partners engage. Opting out via AppChoices will opt the User out of all Skydeo Targeting Segments that are created immediately and any subsequent Segment distributions. However, there will be a lag for the User’s ID to be removed from previously distributed Targeting Segments that are already active at the time when the opt-out is exercised.

If a User wants to end all targeting immediately, s/he can turn on “Limit Ad Tracking” in his/her device settings. To limit Ad Track on an Apple device, see instructions at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074.

To limit Ad Tracking on an Android device, see instructions at: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922.

Please note, however, that opting-out will not block general advertisements that are sent at random, and not tied to the perceived interest of the User of a particular device.

Consumers who have downloaded Skydeo’s applications, but who no longer wish to provide information to Skydeo for interest-based advertising purposes, should opt out through AppChoices as described above.

I. Do Not Track.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

J. Right to opt-out of automated decision making and profiling

Your state/province/country may provide you with the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated decision making, including profiling, where the decision would have a legal effect on your or produce a similarly significant effect. If the state/province/country in which you reside provides you with the right to opt-out of automated decision making and profiling, you may opt-out of the processing of your personal data for profiling and other automated decision making by visiting online requestform or by calling us toll-free at 512-900-8390.

K. Right to limit the use of your sensitive personal data

If the state/province/country in which you reside provides you with the right to limit the use of your sensitive personal data, you may request that we limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal data by visiting online requestform or by calling us toll-free at 512-900-8390We may deny your request in part or in full under uses authorized by applicable law.

L. Right to withdraw your consent (Canadian residents)

To do so, you may select deletion request by visiting online requestform or by calling us toll-free at 512-900-8390Please note this may affect our ability to communicate with you and we may retain certain data points if permitted by law.

XV.  Authorized Agents:

“Authorized agents” may submit opt out requests on a consumer’s behalf. The authorized agent may do so through our online consumer portal found here.   Before Skydeo will accept requests from an authorized agent, the authorized agent must provide certain information.

The CCPA allows California consumers to use “authorized agents” to submit requests to Skydeo on their behalf. If you have elected to use an authorized agent, or if you are an authorized agent who would like to submit requests on behalf of a consumer, the following procedures will be required prior to acceptance of any requests by an authorized agent on behalf of a California consumer.

For the safety and security of the consumer’s information, “requests to delete” and “right to know” requests submitted to Skydeo by an authorized agent will require a direct method of communication with the consumer, preferably a valid email address, to fulfill the request.

All authorized agents will be required to successfully establish the minimum requirements for qualification as stated prior to being authorized by Skydeo to submit requests on behalf of a consumer.

AGENT AUTHORIZATION REQUIRMENTS & VERIFICATION

  • Valid email address for the consumer for Skydeo’s direct correspondence with the consumer, including an identity verification process to be conducted by Skydeo directly with that consumer.

XVI. California Privacy Rights

  • California Do Not Track Policy

California law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the website or online service that a User visits, indicating that the User does not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signal.   Users may also turn on “Limit Ad Tracking” which will zero their advertising IDs as a means of opting out of tracking.

  • Additional California Privacy Rights

California residents may request and obtain once a year, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. California residents may also choose to opt out of such disclosures, if any. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year. California residents may make such a request in writing by emailing Skydeo with your name and address, and noting “California Shine the Light Request” in the subject line of the email.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“the CCPA”) provides you with certain rights relating to the data that Skydeo has collected about you. Those rights include:

  • The right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you, the categories of sources from which we collected your personal information, our purposes for collecting or selling your personal information, the categories of your personal information that we have either sold or disclosed for a business purpose, and the categories of third parties with which we have shared personal information.
  • The right to opt out of our sale of your personal information.
  • The right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected directly from you. We use a two-step process for online requests to delete. You will be asked to clearly submit your request to delete and to separately confirm your choice.
  • The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA.
  • Skydeo is a registered data broker with the State of California here.
