3 Categories and Sources of Personal Data and Purposes and Lawful Basis for Processing

Datapoint Technologies is a technology company operating in the digital advertising ecosystem. We use data analytics to help our clients (advertisers, media agencies, brands) to advertise their ads on various websites that allow third party advertising, so called ‘publishers’. We develop insights into the browsing behavior of website users for our clients or for publishers in order to develop targeted digital advertising campaigns for our clients that create a better user experience.

We participate in various industry schemes that are designed to ensure that any user-level personal data we process for these purposes is collected and processed on the basis of the user’s consent.

We also collect and process personal data about visitors to our own website (https://datapoint.tech/), as well as business contact data relating to the account representatives of our customers and vendors, and visitors to our physical premises.

We may source, use and otherwise process personal data in different ways in regard to each of these data subject categories, as explained in the following sections:

3.1 Visitors to publishers’ websites

The following content is prohibited: hate speech, defamation, tobacco, explosives and weapons, nudity, pornography, obscenity, references to sex or sexuality, illegal and recreational drugs, illegal pharmaceuticals or paraphernalia, illegal activities, violence, profanities, morally reprehensible content, piracy, misappropriation of copyright, trademark, trade secret, or patent, counterfeit goods, government forms or services, dangerous or derogatory content, shocking content, sensitive events, animal cruelty, malware, spyware, autodownloads, auto-redirect, content that interferes with navigation or with other ads, unusual CTR, deceptive content that intends to, or does, induce user action through misleading appearance or behavior, fake hyperlinks, content resembling Windows, Unix or Mac dialogue boxes, fake interactivity, free gifts, links to quizzes and surveys, misleading claims, content enabling dishonest behavior, content which attempts to reveal a user’s sensitive characteristics and/or attempts to exploit these, or which could be viewed to discriminate, embarrass, offend or otherwise cause a legal or significant impact on a user.

 A – Sources of personal data

 B – Personal data that we collect and process

 C – Why do we collect your personal data and what are our lawful bases for it?

 D – How long do we keep your personal data?

Datapoint Technologies analyses web browsing usage in order to provide our clients (advertisers and media agencies) with the ability to improve returns on their digital advertising spends by enabling them to serve ads that are relevant to website visitors. We use cookies and similar applications to develop marketing insights about user preferences, sometime in combination with other data sets, in order to better match ad content with user interests.

A – Sources of personal data

The websites that users visit may allow third parties, such as Datapoint Technologies, to set cookies or similar applications on user devices or browsers when they visit the websites. We collect and analyze the data obtained via these applications. We may combine this data with aggregate data obtained from social media companies and market research firms, and user-level data from other advertising technology companies that support our services in various ways, such as fraud prevention through the detection of “bots.”

B – Personal data that we collect and process

Datapoint Technologies collects various categories of personal data at the user level, including the following:

IP address, which helps us to understand the broad location of a user

Device ID (when users access websites on mobile devices), such as IDFA, AAID, SHA1

User ID stored in a cookie placed on a user’s browser

Latitude-longitude location data

Timestamp on accessing the website and the website URL

Enrichment data collected about you from third parties.

Tweets & Twitter handles, made publicly available via the Twitter platform

User interactions with the ad placed, i.e. we will know if a user clicks on it or the user’s browser & operating system type. Sometimes advertisers may provide us with information on what users have previously purchases from them and when, in order to make our predictions more accurate.

Cookie technology is placed on devices to assist with the ad delivery process. This includes:

  1. A user ID cookie to support ad personalization, which lasts for 90 days
  2. An opt-out cookie to store you opt-out and consent preferences, which lasts for 90 days
  3. A session cookie to see if a browser supports cookies, which lasts for 1 browsing session
  4. A cookie which limits the number of ads which a given user sees, which lasts for 90 days
  5. A cookie which denotes whether a user ID is synced with other partners in the ad-serving chain
  6. A cookie which supports billing and reporting.

Although we do not collect information that directly identifies individual users by name or physical address, we collect your IP address and other information about you which may make this information personal data. For example, based on a user’s historic browsing behavior, we may map an IP address to a city or a geographical region and other information such as weather in that region, in order to predict users’ future buying decisions.

However, we never make decisions or predictions based on the characteristics of one individual. Instead, we usually only target population segments or groups of individuals. These segments involve aggregated user data of no less than 1,500 users, but more typically hundreds of thousands of users who may share common characteristics, such as demographics and specific interests, such as preferences for particular types of cars.

C – Why do we collect your personal data and what are our lawful bases for it?

We collect user-level personal data so that users can see ads displayed on the websites they visit which we think are most relevant to them based on their browsing behavior and interests. This enhances the user experience while at the same time making our clients’ advertising campaigns more efficient and effective.

We use data analytics to predict user interests based on machine-learning techniques involving the use of algorithms. Our data scientists regularly review the algorithms that we use in order to ensure they are properly adjusted and error-free. Datapoint Technologies has approved an “Pixel Implementation” policy which provides, among other things, that we will not target children or vulnerable adults or collect any special categories of personal data about users. Datapoint Technologies’ “Creative Guidelines” prohibit any discriminatory messages and place restrictions on advertising related to gambling, health & politics.

Consent

Datapoint Technologies has joined a number of industry schemes including the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (http://advertisingconsent.eu/) and Your Online Ad Choices (http://www.youronlinechoices.com) that have been developed to ensure that users are in a position to decide whether and how they want their web browser data used for digital advertising purposes. Datapoint Technologies’ Vendor Identification number within the transparency and consent framework is 101.

As a result, Datapoint Technologies will not process personal data unless it can be evidenced that their publisher & advertiser partners have first obtained the users’ permission to do so. This is usually done by means of a pop-up window that enables users to manage their preferences in regard to cookie application and related data processing.

When a user visits a website with which Datapoint Technologies is associated, they will see a message asking them if they agree to allow the website publisher’s and third-party cookies to be set on their device and collect information from it when they first visit it. If the user agrees to the application of cookies, they will then be asked whether they consent to the processing of the information collected for each of the following purposes:

Ad personalization

The personal data We collect is used to personalize ads that you see over time on other sites. We will use the personal data We collect to infer your interests and place ads that we believe may of interest to you.

Ad selection, reporting and delivery

We collect information about what ads were shown, how often and when and where they were shown, whether the user clicked on them and made a purchase. This information is used to measure the effectiveness of the ads presented.

Content delivery, selection and reporting

We collect and analyze information about the user’s interests and what content was shown, how often, when and where, and whether the user clicked on what was shown. This is done to adjust the content displayed to the user to be most relevant.

Measurement

We collect information on web visitors’ use of content in combination with previously collected information. We use this data to understand and report on their use of content to our advertising clients or for Datapoint Technologies’ internal quality assurance purposes.

In the process of using data for the above purposes, Datapoint Technologies also employs the following technical features: i) matching data to offline sources, ii) linking devices and iii) precise geographic location data.

When a user agrees to the placement of cookies by Us and one or more of the identified processing activities, we will receive a message from the website where the visitor’s selection has been made, notifying Us that We have permission to set a cookie, collect information on the user’s device and use it for the agreed purposes. A user may withdraw consent at any time on the websites visited or by changing their preferences on www.youronlinechoices.eu. They can do this by finding the reference to Datapoint Technologies and withdrawing their consent.

Datapoint Technologies’ legitimate interest in preventing fraudulent website traffic

We also process personal data in order to detect the use of internet “bots” or similar functionality intended to distort the popularity of websites and digital ads by simulating human browsing activity. If a user agrees to the placement of a cookie and accepts the processing of their personal data for one or more of the purposes described above, our ability to detect this type of fraudulent behavior is important to ensure that the data we rely on to cater to user preferences is not distorted by false inputs. We therefore use a third-party vendor to assess whether the IP addresses that we are processing are associated with fraudulent activity.

Datapoint Technologies’ legitimate interest in analyzing social trends

We also process personal data in order to analyze trends in social media activity. This involves analyzing common keywords that appear in public posts made available on the Twitter platform and producing aggregated insights from these to inform our advertisers about current social trends. We may use Twitter handles to identify trends relating to companies and popular personalities.

Should a user wish to object to our processing of their personal data for these purposes, they may do so by contacting our DPO as indicated in Section 2 above.

D – How long do we keep your personal data?

Datapoint Technologies minimizes the personal data it collects about users and retains the data for only limited periods.

Raw data that Datapoint Technologies collects about user online activities is kept for no longer than 180 days from the date collected and is stored in a secure environment. The user-level data is either anonymized or aggregated after 180 days, which means the information is expressed only in a summary form about user behavior representing large groups of individuals. Anonymous data may be kept at Datapoint Technologies for 2 years and aggregated information relating to financial performance stored for up to 7 years for accounting and audit purposes. During the initial 180-day period, the information about user online behavior is used to better target the ad campaigns and adjust the audience to ensure the ad is displayed to user groups that may be most interested in the product or service advertised. The data collected as part of the ad campaign may be used to develop insight reports for Datapoint Technologies clients concerning advertising trends and campaign results. These reports are based on data that is provided in an aggregated form and does not allow for the identification of individuals.

Some browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) preferences. Most of these features, when turned on, send signals to the website you are visiting that you do not wish to have information about your online searching and browsing activities collected and used.

However, you may refuse or delete cookies or use the “opt out” option available through the DAA or NAI. If you refuse or delete cookies, some of our website functionality may be impaired. If you change computers, devices, or browsers, or use multiple computers,

devices, or browsers, and delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer, device, or browser. Please refer to your browsers’ Help instructions to learn more about how to manage cookies and the use of other tracking technologies.
