This Privacy Policy explains how BidMachine Inc. receives and processes user’s personal information (“Users PI”). BidMachine receives Users PI that has been provided to it by publishers (“Supply Side Partners”) as well as Supply Side Platform Partners (“SSP Partners”), and shares this Users PI to advertisers (“Demand Partners”) in order to provide various services including personalized advertising and related adtech services (“Services”). BidMachine’s Supply Partners and SSP Partners provide User PI to BidMachine so that BidMachine can provide ad monetization Services by sharing such User PI with Demand Partners who serve personalized ads to Users.
BidMachine has no direct engagement with Users. BidMachine’s Supply Partners download a Software Development Kit (“SDK”) on their mobile site(s). The SDK facilitates the transfer of User PI to BidMachine so that BidMachine can provide ad monetization Services to the Supply Partner including the placement and serving of personalized ads to the mobile site(s) for viewing by the User. For example, if a User uses a mobile application where the Supply Partner has embedded BidMachine’s SDK, then the SDK will provide to BidMachine only the User PI that Supply Partner has enabled BidMachine to receive for the business purposes of providing the Services.
SSP Partners provide BidMachine with User PI for the business purposes of providing the Services. Supply Partners and SSP Partners are responsible for ensuring that Users PI has been collected in accordance with applicable law.
