Use of Content
CMI Marketing, Inc., d/b/a Raptive (“Raptive”) has a service provider agreement with the website from which you linked (the “Site”) for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site. This Advertising Privacy Statement explains how Raptive uses your data and supersedes any other language on the Site (if any) with respect to the data privacy practices of Raptive.
We Collect Personal Data for Online Advertising
We publish interest-based advertisements on the Site; that is, ads that are tailored to reflect your interests. To help understand your interests, Raptive, Google and our other advertising partners will track your behavior on the site from which you linked and on other websites across the Internet using data available from your web browser, including cookies. We may also combine some of this information with information we obtain from third parties in order to create advertising profiles. These profiles enable us and our partners to include you in audience segments, i.e., groups of users with similar interests. We share audience information with ad buyers and their technology partners via an automated bidding process operated by third parties that allows ad buyers to bid for the opportunity to display advertisements on the Site that you may find more relevant and accurate. We take reasonable and industry-standard measures to de-identify your personal information before including it in an advertising profile or sharing it with ad buyers, including “hashing” the information or encrypting it.
How We Collect Personal Data
Raptive uses standard and widely-available tools for the placement and serving of ads, which allow us to collect data like your IP Address (a unique address that identifies your device), geolocation, web browser type, device information, and operating system. By using the Site from which you linked, you consent to the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, and the sharing of data captured by such technologies with Raptive, Google, and our site’s other third-party partners.
Automated Information Collection.
- Log Information. Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available when you visit the Site, including the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
- Usage information: We collect information about your usage of the Site. For example, we collect information such as page views, Site searches, and interactions with the Site content, along with information about your device (e.g., screen size, name of cellular network, and mobile device manufacturer).
- Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit the Site from certain geographic regions. .
- Information from cookies & other technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. We use cookies, pixel tags and other types of local storage to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for the Site. We may also use these technologies to track and understand email campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads. Most browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored – either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly. Also, if you disable cookies, other local storage technologies like pixel tags may still load onto your browser, though their functionality will be restricted. To find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org. For more details on your choices regarding use of your web browsing activity for interest-based advertising you may visit the following sites:
- Privacy-enhancing Technologies. Some browser software offers the capability to have advertising profiles created within the browser, so that less information is shared with third parties. In this case, the provider of the browser software still makes certain information available to Raptive, such as ad clicks and views. Also, Raptive may use technologies to identify your browser with a unique pseudonymous identifier (also known as fingerprinting), which could enable the ad clicks and views to be associated with your browser software.
On a mobile device, you may also be able to adjust your settings to limit tracking.
Information You Provide to the Site or to Us..
- Contact info. If you voluntarily provide your contact information, such as your name or email address, the Site may share that information with us.
- User Credentials. Depending on what features of the Site you use, you may be asked to create a username, password and/or similar account credentials (including contract information), which may be shared with us, or directly collected by us if we provide the feature as a vendor to the Site.
Use and Sharing of Data for Advertising
We use the information you provide to the Site to enhance the information shared by your web browser software for the purpose of building advertising profiles as described above. An advertising profile could include information such as the Site content you have viewed and other interests, your other online activities, demographic data about you, and your interactions with advertisements on the Site. Raptive’s advertising partners and their activities are further described below in “Third Party Partnerships.” With respect to information that could readily identify you, such as your email address or phone number, we take reasonable and industry-standard measures to de-identify the information before including it in an advertising profile or sharing it with ad buyers, including “hashing” the information or encrypting it.
