Please note that due to technical limitations inherent in the ad tech ecosystem, we are unable to authenticate the identity of many individuals whose device level data we process. As a result, we are unable to fulfill some requests that we receive from individuals (for example, access requests). In such circumstances, our customers (which may be the platform where you saw the advertisement, the company that is the subject of the advertisement, etc.) may be able to authenticate your identity and pass your authenticated request to us.
If you would like to exercise any of your other rights listed above, please click here and follow the instructions provided. Alternatively, you can email us at [email protected] and provide us with the identifier you believe we may process about you (for example, IDFA, IP address, or another identifier). You may also contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws.
To protect your privacy, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests submitted under applicable privacy laws. These steps may involve asking you to provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. Examples of our verification process may include asking you to provide the device ID or IP address that your request relates to.
Some laws may allow you to appeal our decision if we decline to process your request. If applicable laws grant you an appeal right, and you would like to appeal our decision with respect to your request, you may do so by informing us of this and providing us with information supporting your appeal.

These countries may or may not have adequate data protection laws as defined by the data protection authority in your country.
If we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws, one of the safeguards we may use to support such transfer is the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
For more information about the safeguards we use for international transfers of your personal information, please contact us as set forth below.
