Data Collection through Amazon Ad Server Services
What does Amazon Ad Server do?
Through our services, our customers may collect and use information about your device to provide
you with a more tailored online advertising experience. Our customers use Amazon Ad Server’s tools
and services to create and deliver advertisements (also referred to as ad serving), to monitor the
success of and manage advertising campaigns, to detect and minimize advertising fraud and,ultimately, to present you with advertisements that are more likely to be interesting and relevant toyou. When providing these services to our customers, Amazon Ad Server acts as a service provider,
except with respect to providing cross-context behavioral advertising services (as defined by the
California Privacy Rights Act). This means that the customers are responsible for the processing of
personal data relating to you, while Amazon Ad Server processes such data based on the customer’s
instructions.
How does Amazon Ad Server deliver advertising on behalf of our customers?
Amazon Ad Server’s cookies and similar technologies (described below) are deployed on yourdevices, and through the third-party websites and mobile applications you use. The information wecollect is associated with your cookie identifiers and/or mobile advertising identifiers (if you are usinga mobile device), as well as your IP address. We never collect information about your actual identity.
As explained above, our technology employs cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies (likepixels and statistical device identifiers) to collect information about your browser or device, the sites it
has visited and the apps it has used, the advertisements served to it, interactions with those
advertisements, and, where available, the approximate geographic location of the device (“ad serving
information”).
We use the ad serving information we collect to deliver an advertisement to you from a company who
engages our services and to measure engagement with such advertisement. This information iscollected in the course of providing our customers with ad-serving and campaign management
services and is used for the purpose of helping our customers determine which advertisement issuitable to be delivered to you.
This ad serving information, which does not enable Amazon Ad Server to determine your actual
identity, may be shared with our customers and Amazon Ad Server’s and our customers’ partners forour customers’ advertising purposes. We use reasonable efforts to require our customers and partners
to treat the information we share with them in accordance with applicable laws, the terms of thecontracts we may have with them, and their own privacy policies.

Cross-device advertising
We use the term “device” or “devices” to refer collectively to computers and mobile devices, as wellas the internet browsers and other applications on your devices that interact with the internet. Amazon
Ad Server may engage in cross-device data collection, which refers to the process of collecting datafrom separate devices that have been determined through statistical analysis to be linked or related,on behalf of our customers. Amazon Ad Server, or partners that we employ to provide this service,use cross-device data to provide advertising services to our customers and to deliver tailored ads tousers across multiple devices.
Information Collected by Customers and their Partners
Please note that Amazon Ad Server customers sometimes include their own (or their partners’) adtags, pixels or similar technologies within advertisements that Amazon Ad Server serves to websites
for those customers. Amazon Ad Server does not control such collection or processing and we use
reasonable efforts to require customers to treat such information in accordance with applicable laws
and their own privacy policies.
In addition, if you visit a website or mobile application that uses Amazon Ad Server services, or clickthrough an ad to the website or online service of one of our customers, those customers may collectadditional information about your visit beyond the information described in this privacy policy. They
may also allow other companies (such as other ad networks or web analytics services) to collectinformation through mechanisms such as cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
Amazon Ad Server is not responsible for and cannot control the data collection and use practices of
its customers or their partners. You should read the privacy notices of the websites you visit and theonline services and interactive ads that you use to understand what information companies collect andhow they use that information.
On occasion, at the request and on behalf of a customer, Amazon Ad Server may collect personal
information supplied voluntarily by consumers through their interaction with data collection fields in the
body of advertisements or on websites (such as name, email, etc.). This personal information isprovided directly to the customer on whose behalf the information was collected, or the customer’s
service providers, and is processed by Amazon Ad Server only to the extent and as long as isnecessary to provide the advertising services for which the personal information was collected.
Amazon Ad Server is not responsible for its customers’ use of this voluntarily supplied data. Amazon
Ad Server does not distribute this personal information to any party other than those indicated within
the advertisement or, at the customers’ direction, their service providers. Amazon Ad Server neverassociates any of this personal information with any other data (such as ad serving information)gathered or used in the delivery of advertisements.

Links to Other Sites
Our site and the advertisements we serve on behalf of customers may contain links to other sites
whose information practices may be different from ours. In addition, there may be links to other sites
provided within the body of advertisements on other websites. We do not have control over the
information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. You should consult the privacy
policy of these other sites to learn how your privacy is protected.

Privacy Practices for Advertising and Content Served by Amazon Ad Server
We respect your right to privacy throughout all of the services we provide. In particular, Amazon Ad
Server adheres to the principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the European Interactive
Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) regarding our use of data for interest-based advertising purposes.
Delivering relevant ads, on behalf of our customers, that are tailored to users’ interests is known as“interest based advertising” (sometimes also referred to as “behavioral advertising” or “targeted
advertising”).
We also subscribe to the policies of the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework, as aregistered vendor on the Global Vendor List. For more information about these organizations, theirpolicies and interest-based advertising, please visit their websites by clicking on the following links:
DAA (here), EDAA (here), or the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (here).
Data Security and Retention
We have appropriate technical and organizational security measures in place to help protect thepersonal information that is submitted to us voluntarily through our website or collected throughinteractions with our services. However, no system can be completely secure, and we make noguarantees as to the safety or security of any information transmitted to or from this site or throughour services. Amazon Ad Server retains cookie information and information we receive from yourdevice in log files for up to 13 months from the time it is stored, after which time the information isdeleted.
Our Use of Advertising Technologies
This section provides additional information about the various technologies that Amazon Ad Serveruses to manage Amazon Ad Server Websites and to deliver ads to you and services to our customers,
including services that collect ad serving information when you interact with our customers’ ads or thesites and applications where their ads are provided.
Cookies
We use cookies to provide functionality to Amazon Ad Server Websites and also to deliver our
advertising services to our customers. A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on your computeror device when you view an advertisement or website relating to one of our customers. The cookie
does not contain your name, address, phone number, email address, or anything that enables us todetermine your actual identity. Instead, Amazon Ad Server uses cookies to collect information suchas a computer’s IP address, the type of the computer’s operating system, the type of internet browser
software, what web pages were viewed and at what time. A common use of cookies (on behalf of ourcustomers) is to determine if a particular ad has already been served to a specific device and to cap
the frequency at which that ad is presented to the same device.
To learn more about the cookies we serve (including how to opt-out of them), please visit the Opt-Out
Options and Additional Information section below.

Mobile Advertising Identifiers
Most mobile devices include an identifier that allows application publishers and marketers to track user
activity on mobile devices for advertising purposes (for example, Google’s Android Advertising
Identifier (AAID) and Apple’s Identifier for Advertising (IDFA)). Amazon Ad Server may use mobile
advertising identifiers for the same purposes for which we use cookies and statistical identifiers,
including serving ads on behalf of its customers.
Log files
Like most websites and advertising services providers, we gather certain information when you visit
or interact with Amazon Ad Server Websites and on our customers’ behalf when you encounter ourcustomers’ ads and websites. This information is collected automatically and stored in log files. This
information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information, which
does not allow us to determine your actual identity, is used for purposes such as administering the site
and the services, analyzing trends, and measuring user engagement with content.
Pixels (also known as Clear Gifs)
On behalf of our customers, we may employ advertising pixels (a.k.a. clear gifs) on websites andadvertisements that interact with some of our services. Pixels help our customers better manage
content and advertising on websites by informing as to what content is effective. Pixels are graphics
embedded invisibly in web and advertising content and are about the size of the period at the end of
this sentence. Pixels work with cookies to record the interactions of users with websites andadvertisements.
Statistical Identifiers and Cross-Device

Amazon Ad Server Like pixels, statistical identifiers help to better manage content and advertising on
devices by informing (without using cookies) as to the content with which users interact statistical
identifiers collect various information about a device, such as screen resolution, browser type, or
operating system. Devices may have unique, or near unique, device profiles and so collecting thisinformation helps to determine to a reasonable level of statistical accuracy the level of users’
engagement with our website or our customers’ advertisements and websites and to recognize thedevices of users who interact with our or our customers’ content. The information gathered throughthe use of statistical identifiers is not associated with any information that would enable us to determine
an individual’s actual identity. Our customers use Amazon Ad Server’s cross-device solutions to tailor
advertising experience across all devices, such as a computer, mobile phone and tablet. For example,
using cross-device solutions, advertisers can limit the number of times you see the same ad on
multiple devices, or serve you a follow-up ad on your computer after you have seen a related ad on
your mobile device.
Information Relating to Children
Our products and services are not designed or intended for children (as defined in applicable dataprotection laws). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children on the Amazon Ad
Server Websites or through our services. Please advise us if you are aware of our having received
personal information from a child, in which case we will take appropriate steps to delete it. For these
purposes, “children” and “child” refer to ages defined by applicable law in the countries where we
provide our services.

International Data Transfers and Privacy Shield Compliance
The personal information Amazon Ad Server processes may be transferred to, and processed in, any
country in which we, our group companies, or our service providers or partners operate, and this may
include countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have dataprotection laws that are different from the laws of your country. However, we have taken appropriate
safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with thisPrivacy Notice.
