Consumers Or Other End-Users Of Yieldmo’s Service

Types of Information Collected

Yieldmo partners with numerous companies to provide online advertisements to end users of mobile websites, mobile applications (“Apps) and other online media (“End Users”). As an End User browses the mobile Internet or uses Apps that include references to the Service, the End User’s browser or device may request advertisements from Yieldmo’s system. When Yieldmo receives these requests, and/or when Yieldmo delivers advertisements to such browser or device, we may collect information about these interactions (as well as any further interaction with the advertisements provided by the Service such as views, clicks, conversions, etc.). This may include, for example: IP address; unique identifiers sent to us from mobile devices, network carriers or data providers; information contained in HTTP headers or other internet transfer protocol signals; ‘hashed’ information (such as email addresses or usernames that are pseudonymized so as to be no longer associated with an individual’s name or email address); demographic information such as a user’s gender, age, and income range; attributes of computer or device usage, such as advertisements clicked, websites and content areas visited; date and time of advertisement request, and advertisement delivery and interaction activities; browser type and version; operating system; language setting; information about or from the presence or use of Apps on a mobile device; and location. Such information is stored on Yieldmo’s servers. We may also collect the GPS location of your device if you have opted to provide it to Yieldmo or to one of Yieldmo’s publisher or third party data provider partners. On occasion, we may also receive information from third-parties that enables advertisement optimization, independently of or in combination with the information collected by Yieldmo, such as audience interest segments and product categories. From time to time, advertisements served by Yieldmo may contain functionality that enables an End User to enter personal information into such advertisements, in order to allow the End User to sign-up for or receive information regarding a product or service offered by an advertiser. In the event that an End User elects to provide personal information under such circumstances, we may collect such information on behalf of such advertiser or its agency. We may use and share such information as described under “How Information is Used” below.

How Information is Used

The information collected pursuant to this Policy may be used to provide purchasing opportunities and aggregate reports to advertisers, agencies and publishers who participate in the Yieldmo Service, to schedule, deliver and optimize advertisements, to create audience interest segments and categories, to limit the number of times a specific advertisement is presented to the same browser or device (frequency capping), to provide advertisements only to certain types of mobile devices, to anonymously track sales and conversions, to detect and eliminate fraudulent activity, to administer and enhance the Service, and to help Yieldmo display, optimize, target and/or customize advertisements to the interests or preferences of End Users.

Personal information received pursuant to this Policy may be shared solely with the applicable advertiser or its agency on behalf of whom such information was collected. The End User should review the advertiser’s privacy policy to understand how the advertiser will process such personal information.

Yieldmo may use certain general health-related information in delivering advertisements based on inferred End User interest in these topics based on sites or ads with which the End User previously interacted. This may include information related to general health, wellness, common ailments and illnesses, beauty and fitness, but will not include sensitive health information (such as a user having a certain medical condition like cancer or diabetes). For example, a user who views content related to parenting might later be shown an ad for children’s clothing or accessories. Similarly, a user who views content related to fitness might later be shown ads related to exercise-related apps. We may also utilize non-sensitive health-related targeting data segments provided by third party data companies. As an example, Yieldmo may use health-related segments from those third parties such as “Beauty, Health & Fitness > Health, Diets & Nutrition” (Click here for a representative list of such health segments). We may share this information with our affiliates, third party partners and agents. For example, we may share information to analyze the performance of advertisements, provide reporting to advertisers and clients, improve advertisement targeting on our platform, improve our products and services, and enable third party partners (such as Google) to improve advertisement targeting across their respective services and platforms and otherwise use the information for their lawful business purposes.
