Business Privacy Policy

Effective: 01 September 2022

This Privacy Policy describes how the mobile advertising and data intelligence services (the “Services”) of Near Intelligence Holdings Inc. and its affiliates (“Near” “We” “Us”) collect, store, and use the information we collect from our partners about consumers.

For information on privacy practices for the website owned by Near, please see Site Privacy Policy and if you are interested in the privacy practices for the mobile app products owned by Near, please visit Mobile App Products Privacy Policy.

1. What Services does Near provide?

We provide Services which includes advertising optimization, data intelligence, analytics, visualization and measurement tools. Our technology uses various information collected to provide useful insights, reports, analytics and research information to our customers and partners.

Our customers and partners include publishers, advertisers, data partners, and third-party ad exchanges.

2. What information does Near collect about Users?

When individuals (“Users” or “you”) visit: (i) an App that uses the SDK of our partners; or (ii) a website that uses javascript tag of Near, Near or its partners will collect certain information about the Users which may include personal data or User’s device data. The information we collect are listed below along with the purpose for which this information is used.

Data Purpose
1. Device information such as:
  • Identifiers for advertising (IDFAs) for IOS and Android ad ids for Android (together known as “MAIDs”),
  • IP addresses
  • location data,
  • Browser type
  • Device type,
  • Time stamp,
  • Operating system information and version (e.g. iOS ver 10), and
  • Language preference.

For providing advertising and data intelligence services.

  • Gender
  • Age
  • Hashed email address (HEMs)
  • Mobile Apps used
  • Impressions

3. How does Near collect or receive User data?

  • Through Partners

    • Partner SDKs used in publisher apps. Near receives MAIDs, other User data from its partners that utilize their SDKs in various publisher apps.
    • API Connectors. Near’s APIs are connected to various partners APIs. Such partners share MAIDs, IP, location and other User data through these APIs.
    • Ad Network Providers. We receive MAIDs and other information about Users from the mobile ad network providers for targeted advertising purpose. For advertising targeted to Users in the EU, UK, and Switzerland, Near is an approved status vendor and participates in the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (see more at https://advertisingconsent.eu/about/). Legally sufficient consent is obtained using this framework from those publishers whose Apps utilize the framework. In addition, Users have the ability to withdraw consent at any time by contacting the publisher of the relevant App or Site and checking your privacy settings on your devices and with the Apps and Sites you visit from time to time.
    • Website Publisher Partner. Near receives device information and impressions from its website publisher partner for providing data intelligence services. Our Services may use persistent cookie-like tools such as javascript tag that enable us to measure the effectiveness of the ads served, and for data intelligence about the activities of Users on websites. Users are free to set their consents on the settings of their browser, operating system and device to de-activate the ability to identify their device persistently. Please refer to these settings for more information on how to disable the browser or operating system from receiving cookies and controlling your preferences, including to disallow sharing of device level information or to disable geolocation access.

While receiving data through its partners, Near does not directly interact with the Users. Our partners obtain consent from the Users and share the valid consent with us. Near only works with partners that agree to notify and seek consent of the Users informing them that their data will be captured and shared with third parties. Near only stores data that comes with a proof of valid consent from its partners.

4. How does Near use User information?

  • Our data intelligence services involve best estimate data information and reporting to customers. We use our proprietary tools to transform MAIDs collected, along with approximate geolocation information and other User data, into actionable insights for our customers. Our technology enables us to provide our customers with trend and statistical analyses, such as identifying patterns that will enhance the relevance of ads, providing advertisements to certain types of audiences, identifying and optimizing trade areas and business locations, and for helping our customers make informed business decisions about consumer behavior with trend and movement information. We provide actionable insights, patterns and commonalities to enable our customers understand trends, and evaluate the products and services they offer, such as enabling engagement with audience and enhancing customer experience for an ecommerce website or app.
  • The MAIDs we collect are stored in our systems for advertising purposes only. Much of the other information collected is further anonymized into aggregated files and use of data points without unique identifiers or only with a hashed identifier. The geolocation we collect is also randomly jittered as another step in making the data less personal. We sell cluster of information which includes hashed device identifiers with jittered geolocation information to customers that utilize our data intelligence services. This information is used in a number of ways to offer such customers, information about business trends, reports, patterns.
  • A part of the technology retains MAIDs to cater to our US specific customer’s request for targeted advertising, measurement and matching. This data is stored separately from the anonymized data.
  • Near provides audience curation for advertising, understanding trends etc., but does not create data segments that are based on sensitive personal information (for example, religion or credit worthiness). However, We may create health-related segments such as an inferred interest in diet and wellness, but not sensitive health data such as medical conditions or diseases. All of our customers who subscribe to our Services are required to conform to the applicable privacy laws and regulations as well as our contractual requirements. Near prohibits the use of its Services by others for (a) employment, credit or health care eligibility; (b) insurance eligibility, underwriting, or pricing; (c) unlawful tracking or surveillance of individuals or for generating personally identifiable information.
  • Our Services also include advertising services that allow us to help our advertising and publishing customers provide more relevant advertising and content on the Apps on our Network. In general, we use the User information collected from partners to enhance our advertising services by providing ad content that is more closely related to Users interests. For example, the information is used to create audiences that are grouped together based on shared preferences (e.g., Sports Fans, car enthusiasts, movie goers, travellers) and to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. Data used to create online audiences is de-identified, helping ensure that neither the ad server nor our cookies contain personal data. We may assign a Near ID in our internal systems for your browser, computer or mobile device when we serve an ad to it or we identify it on a publisher partner’s website or mobile app. The Near ID and other information collected via the Services can also help our advertising customers measure the effectiveness of advertisements delivered via the Services. They enable the Services to determine within a reasonable level of confidence that a computer or device is the same as one with which the Services has previously interacted. For instance, the Services can determine that a computer or device to which we served an ad on Monday may be the same computer or device for which we observed a purchase on Tuesday. In other words, in such cases we are able to infer that a device (e.g. your computer) and another device (e.g. your smartphone) are used by the same owner. Where we are able to make such inferences, we may use this information to deliver targeted ads across multiple computers or devices. This is sometimes referred to as cross-device advertising.

5. What are the basis for processing User information?

  • Near may collect your PI on the basis of the following:
    • your consent;
    • the need to perform a contract;
    • our legitimate interests or those of a third-party;
    • the need to comply with the laws; or
    • any other ground, as required or permitted by law.
  • We may transfer data from the EU into the United States for processing and will generally do so via the EU Standard Contractual Clauses through which we ensure that the level of protection guaranteed for your personal data by the European laws is not undermined by such transfer. Further, we may share consumer data with our Service Providers and such sharing may constitute a transfer outside of your home location, and even in all such transfers, we enter into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the respective Service Providers.

    Where Near receives from an EU data subject a request to cease processing of data via one of the choice mechanisms listed above, Near will stop all data processing with respect to the opted out browser or mobile device unless such processing is required by law.

6. Who do we share User Information with and purpose for sharing this information?

Near shares derived intelligence over data collected with customers, partners third-party service providers, affiliates of Group Companies, prospective acquirer, for the following purposes:

  • Customers and partners

    When customers need MAIDs for targeted advertising, measurements and matching, we sell unhashed MAIDs only for this purpose. We ensure our customers do not use MAIDs for any other purpose except for the purposes mentioned immediately above. All other information is sold in an aggregate and anonymized manner which cannot identify you. It is essentially to provide segments, trends, patterns, reports and insights to the customers.

  • Third-party service Providers

    With those entities that help us make the Services available and functional, like technical agents, payment processing vendors, other subcontractors, and our affiliates and consultants under contract and with safeguards. These functions include, for example, web site hosting, maintenance, data analysis, customer support, email delivery services, infrastructure services, technical agents, analytics and metrics services. These third parties will be restricted in the way they can use PI and will need to keep your information confidential and secure.

  • Affiliates of Group Companies

Por favor, consulte la política de privacidad del sitiopara obtener información sobre las prácticas de privacidad del sitio web propiedad de Near y si usted está interesado en las prácticas de privacidad de los productos de aplicaciones móviles propiedad de Near, por favor, consulte la política de privacidad de los productos de aplicaciones móviles.

1. ¿Qué servicios presta Near?

Prestamos servicios que incluyen herramientas de optimización de publicidad, inteligencia de datos, análisis, visualización y medición. Nuestra tecnología utiliza varios tipos de información recopilada para proporcionar conocimientos, informes, análisis e información de investigación útiles a nuestros clientes y socios.

Nuestros clientes y socios incluyen editores, anunciantes, socios de datos e intercambios externos de anuncios.

2. ¿Qué información recopila Near sobre los usuarios?

Cuando los individuos ("usuarios" o "usted") visitan (i) una aplicación que utiliza los SDK de nuestros socios o (ii) un sitio web que utiliza la etiqueta de JavaScript de Near, Near o sus socios recopilarán cierta información sobre los usuarios que podría incluir datos personales o datos de los dispositivos de los usuarios. La información que recopilamos se indica a continuación junto con el fin para el cual se utiliza esta información.

Datos Fin
1. Información sobre el dispositivo tal como la siguiente:
  • Identificadores de anuncios para IOS e identificadores de anuncios para Android (conocidos en conjunto como "identificadores de anuncios móviles")
  • Direcciones IP
  • Datos de ubicación
  • Tipo de navegador
  • Tipo de dispositivo
  • Marca de tiempo
  • Información y versión del sistema operativo (por ejemplo, iOS versión 10) y
  • Preferencia de idioma

Para prestar servicios de publicidad e inteligencia de datos.

  • Género
  • Edad
  • Dirección cifrada de correo electrónico
  • Aplicaciones móviles utilizadas
  • Impresiones

3. ¿Cómo recopila o recibe Near los datos de los usuarios?

  • A través de los socios

    • Los SDK de los socios utilizados en las aplicaciones de los editores. Near recibe los identificadores de anuncios móviles y otros datos de los usuarios de sus socios que utilizan sus SDK en las aplicaciones de varios editores.
    • Conectores de API. Las API de Near están conectadas a las API de varios socios. Tales socios comparten los identificadores de anuncios móviles, las direcciones IP, la ubicación y otros datos de los usuarios a través de estas API.
    • Proveedores de redes de anuncios. Recibimos los identificadores de anuncios móviles y otra información sobre los usuarios de los proveedores de redes de anuncios móviles para fines de publicidad dirigida. En el caso de la publicidad dirigida a los usuarios de la Unión Europea, el Reino Unido y Suiza, Near es un proveedor aprobado y participa en el Marco de Transparencia y Consentimiento de IAB Europe (vea más en https://advertisingconsent.eu/about/). Utilizando este marco se obtiene el consentimiento legalmente suficiente de aquellos editores cuyas aplicaciones utilizan el marco. Además, los usuarios tienen la capacidad de retirar el consentimiento en cualquier momento poniéndose en contacto con el editor de la aplicación o el sitio relevantes, y verificando la configuración de privacidad de sus dispositivos, y de las aplicaciones y los sitios que usted visite de vez en cuando.
    • Socio editor de sitios web. Near recibe información e impresiones sobre los dispositivos de su socio editor de sitios web para prestar servicios de inteligencia de datos. Nuestros servicios podrían utilizar herramientas persistentes similares a las cookies, tales como la etiqueta JavaScript, que nos permitan medir la efectividad de los anuncios servidos y para la inteligencia de datos sobre las actividades de los usuarios en los sitios web. Los usuarios son libres de establecer su consentimiento en la configuración de su navegador, sistema operativo y dispositivo para desactivar la capacidad de identificar persistentemente su dispositivo. Por favor, consulte esta configuración para obtener más información sobre cómo deshabilitar las cookies en el navegador o sistema operativo y controlar sus preferencias, incluyendo la denegación del uso compartido de la información a nivel del dispositivo o la deshabilitación del acceso a la geolocalización.

Near no interactúa directamente con los usuarios mientras esté recibiendo datos a través de sus socios. Nuestros socios obtienen el consentimiento de los usuarios y comparten el consentimiento válido con nosotros. Near solo trabaja con socios que acepten notificar a los usuarios y buscar su consentimiento informándoles de que sus datos se capturarán y compartirán con terceros. Near solo almacena los datos que vengan con una prueba de consentimiento válido de sus socios.

4. ¿Cómo usa Near la información de los usuarios?

  • Nuestros servicios de inteligencia de datos implican la información de datos de estimación óptima y la presentación de informes a los clientes. Utilizamos nuestras herramientas patentadas para transformar los identificadores recopilados de anuncios móviles, junto con la información de la geolocalización aproximada y otros datos de los usuarios, en información procesable para nuestros clientes. Nuestra tecnología nos permite proporcionar a nuestros clientes análisis estadísticos y de tendencias, tales como la identificación de los patrones que mejorarán la relevancia de los anuncios, la provisión de anuncios a ciertos tipos de audiencias, la identificación y optimización de las áreas comerciales y las ubicaciones de las empresas, y la prestación de ayuda a nuestros clientes para tomar decisiones comerciales informadas sobre el comportamiento del consumidor con información sobre las tendencias y los movimientos. Proporcionamos información procesable, patrones y puntos en común para permitir que nuestros clientes comprendan las tendencias, y evalúen los productos y servicios que ofrecen, posibilitando el compromiso con la audiencia, y mejorando la experiencia del cliente en relación con un sitio web o una aplicación de comercio electrónico.
  • Los identificadores de anuncios móviles que recopilamos se almacenan en nuestros sistemas solo con fines publicitarios. Gran parte de la otra información recopilada se anonimiza aún más en archivos agregados, y mediante el uso de puntos de datos sin identificadores únicos o con solo un identificador cifrado. También jitterizamos aleatoriamente la geolocalización que recopilamos como otro paso para hacer que los datos sean menos personales. Vendemos clusters de información que incluyen identificadores cifrados de dispositivos con información jitterizada de geolocalización a clientes que utilizan nuestros servicios de inteligencia de datos. Esta información se utiliza de varias maneras para ofrecer a tales clientes información sobre las tendencias, informes y patrones comerciales.
  • Una parte de la tecnología conserva los identificadores de anuncios móviles para atender las solicitudes de publicidad dirigida, medición y coincidencia de nuestros clientes específicos de Estados Unidos. Estos datos se almacenan separadamente de los datos anonimizados.
  • Near ofrece servicios de curaduría de audiencias para la publicidad, la comprensión de las tendencias, etc., pero no crea segmentos de datos basados en información personal sensible (por ejemplo, la religión o solvencia). Sin embargo, podríamos crear segmentos relacionados con la salud, tales como un interés inferido en la dieta y el bienestar, pero no datos sensibles de salud, tales como las condiciones médicas o enfermedades. Todos nuestros clientes que se suscriben a nuestros servicios están obligados a cumplir con las leyes y los reglamentos aplicables de privacidad, así como también con nuestros requisitos contractuales. Near prohíbe el uso de sus servicios por parte de otros (a) para determinar la elegibilidad para un empleo, un crédito o la atención médica, (b) para determinar la elegibilidad para un seguro, o para suscribir o fijar el precio de un seguro, y (c) para el seguimiento o la vigilancia ilegales de individuos, o para generar información de identificación personal.
  • Nuestros servicios también incluyen servicios de publicidad que nos permiten ayudar a nuestros clientes publicitarios y editoriales a proporcionar publicidad y contenido más relevantes en las aplicaciones de nuestra red. En general, utilizamos la información de los usuarios recopilada de los socios para mejorar nuestros servicios de publicidad, proporcionando contenido de anuncios que esté más estrechamente relacionado con los intereses de los usuarios. Por ejemplo, la información se utiliza para crear audiencias agrupadas sobre la base de las preferencias compartidas (por ejemplo, los fanáticos de los deportes, los entusiastas de los automóviles, los cinéfilos y los viajeros) y para medir la eficacia de las campañas de anuncios. Los datos utilizados para crear audiencias en línea se anonimizan, lo que ayuda a garantizar que ni el servidor de anuncios ni nuestras cookies contengan datos personales. Podríamos asignar una identificación de Near para su navegador, computadora o dispositivo móvil en nuestros sistemas internos cuando le sirvamos un anuncio, o lo identifiquemos en el sitio web o la aplicación móvil de un socio editorial. La identificación de Near y otra información recopilada a través de los servicios también pueden ayudar a nuestros clientes publicitarios a medir la eficacia de los anuncios entregados a través de los servicios. Las mismas permiten que los servicios determinen dentro de un nivel razonable de confianza que una computadora o un dispositivo es el mismo con el que los servicios han interactuado previamente. Por ejemplo, los servicios pueden determinar que una computadora o un dispositivo al que le servimos un anuncio el lunes podría ser la misma computadora o dispositivo para el que observamos una compra el martes. En otras palabras, en tales casos podemos inferir que un dispositivo (por ejemplo, su computadora) y otro dispositivo (por ejemplo, su teléfono inteligente) son utilizados por el mismo propietario. Cuando podamos hacer tales inferencias, podríamos usar esta información para entregar anuncios dirigidos a través de varias computadoras o dispositivos. A esto se hace referencia a veces como publicidad en todos los dispositivos.

5. ¿Cuáles son las bases para procesar la información de los usuarios?

  • Near podría recopilar su información personal sobre la base de lo siguiente:
    • Su consentimiento;
    • La necesidad de cumplir con un contrato;
    • Nuestros intereses legítimos o los de un tercero;
    • La necesidad de cumplir con las leyes; o
    • Cualquier otro motivo, según lo exija o permita la ley.
  • Podríamos transferir datos de la Unión Europea a Estados Unidos para su procesamiento y por lo general lo haremos mediante las Cláusulas Contractuales Estándar de la Unión Europea a través de las cuales nos aseguramos de que el nivel de protección garantizado para sus datos personales por las leyes europeas no se vea afectado por tal transferencia. Además, podríamos compartir datos de los consumidores con nuestros proveedores de servicios y tal uso compartido podría constituir una transferencia fuera de su ubicación de origen, e incluso en todas esas transferencias celebramos las Cláusulas Contractuales Estándar de la Unión Europea con los respectivos proveedores de servicios.

    Cuando Near reciba de un sujeto de datos de la Unión Europea una solicitud para dejar de procesar los datos a través de uno de los mecanismos de elección enumerados anteriormente, Near detendrá todo el procesamiento de datos con respecto al navegador o dispositivo móvil excluido, a menos que la ley exija tal procesamiento.

6. ¿Con quién compartimos la información de los usuarios y el fin de compartir esta información?

Near comparte inteligencia derivada de los datos recopilados con los clientes, los socios, los proveedores externos de servicios, las filiales de las compañías del grupo y un posible adquirente para los siguientes fines:

  • Clientes y socios

    Cuando los clientes necesiten los identificadores de anuncios móviles para la publicidad dirigida, las mediciones y las coincidencias solo venderemos identificadores no cifrados de anuncios móviles para este fin. Nos aseguramos de que nuestros clientes no utilicen los identificadores de anuncios móviles para ningún otro fin, con la excepción de los fines mencionados inmediatamente arriba. Toda la otra información se vende de manera agregada y anonimizada que no puede identificarle. Esto es esencialmente para proporcionar segmentos, tendencias, patrones, informes y conocimientos a los clientes.

  • Proveedores externos de servicios

    Con aquellas entidades que nos ayudan a hacer que los servicios estén disponibles y sean funcionales, como los agentes técnicos, los proveedores de procesamiento de pagos, otros subcontratistas, y nuestras filiales y consultores bajo contrato y con salvaguardas. Estas funciones incluyen, por ejemplo, el alojamiento de sitios web, el mantenimiento, el análisis de datos, la atención al cliente, los servicios de entrega de correo electrónico, los servicios de infraestructura, los agentes técnicos, y los servicios de análisis y medición. Se restringirá la manera en la que estos terceros puedan usar la información personal, y los mismos tendrán que mantener la confidencialidad y seguridad de su información.

  • Filiales de compañías del grupo

    Near compartirá su información dentro del grupo de compañías de Near para garantizar que Near pueda prestar servicios a sus clientes.

  • Gobierno, organismos del orden público u organismos reguladores

    Near compartirá su información con los organismos gubernamentales, legales o reguladores aplicables con el fin de cumplir con las leyes aplicables y las investigaciones, o para responder a una orden judicial, o a una citación judicial u otra citación gubernamental.

  • Adquiriente o entidad fusionada

    Near podría transferir información, incluyendo cualquier dato personal, a una entidad sucesora en relación con una fusión, consolidación, venta de activos o quiebra corporativa, u otro cambio corporativo.

  • Otro

    Near podría compartir sus datos personales con su consentimiento o si cree que esto protegerá a Near, a usted o a cualquier otra persona o tercero, o para hacer valer cualquier derecho legal.

7. Seguridad

La seguridad de su información es importante para nosotros. Near ha implementado medidas razonables de seguridad para proteger la información bajo nuestro cuidado, tanto durante la transmisión como una vez que haya sido recibida. Esto incluye pero no se limita al uso de firewalls y el cifrado. Ningún método de transmisión por Internet ni método de almacenamiento electrónico es 100% seguro. Por consiguiente, aunque nos esforzamos por utilizar medios comercialmente aceptables para proteger su información, no podemos garantizar la seguridad absoluta.

8. ¿Recopilan ustedes información sobre niños?

Near no recopila a sabiendas datos personales de ninguna persona menor de 13 años de edad a través del sitio. Si usted cree que su hijo le ha proporcionado a Near información personal, tal como al inscribirse en una de nuestras aplicaciones sin el consentimiento de los padres, y le gustaría que se eliminen los datos, por favor, comuníquese con nosotros utilizando la información de contacto a continuación.

9. ¿Durante cuánto tiempo se almacenan los datos de los usuarios?

En el caso de los datos personales, solo conservamos sus datos mientras los necesitemos para nuestros fines comerciales legítimos. Por ejemplo, cuando recopilamos información sobre su interacción con un anuncio servido a usted, conservamos esa información durante 180 días y luego la eliminamos. Conservamos otra información, como las identificaciones de los dispositivos, para nuestros actuales servicios. Conservaremos su información mientras los servicios estén activos y, después de eso, durante un período que nos permita manejar o responder a cualquier queja, consulta o inquietud relacionada con los servicios. Revisaremos periódicamente los datos personales que tenemos y los eliminaremos de forma segura, o en algunos casos los anonimizaremos, cuando ya no haya una necesidad legal, comercial o del consumidor de conservarlos.

10. ¿Qué derechos tienen los usuarios?

Si usted proporciona su información personal y desea actualizar, corregir o eliminar errores en esa información, puede comunicarse con nosotros enviando un mensaje de correo electrónico a privacy@near.com. Responderemos a su solicitud antes de haber transcurrido un período razonable de tiempo. Por favor, consulte la página "Opciones del consumidor" para obtener más detalles.

(A) En el Espacio Económico Europeo, el Reino Unido o Suiza

(B) En California

  • Para el acceso a la información personal, las solicitudes de exclusión y eliminación con respecto a cualquier información personal procesada por Near, y para los datos personales de los interesados en el caso de los residentes de la Unión Europea, el Reino Unido y Suiza, usted puede seguir las instrucciones en nuestra página de Opciones del consumidor. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que necesitaremos la identificación del anuncio de su móvil para identificar su dispositivo en nuestros sistemas.
  • Aunque la Ley de Privacidad del Consumidor de California solo cubre a los residentes de California, extenderemos voluntariamente sus derechos básicos de que las personas controlen sus datos a todos nuestros usuarios de todo el mundo y no solo a aquellos que vivan en California.

11. Cambios a esta política de privacidad

Esta política de privacidad está sujeta a cambios de vez en cuando. Le recomendamos que revise periódicamente esta página para obtener la información más reciente sobre nuestras prácticas de privacidad.

12. Resolución de disputas

Esta política de privacidad se regirá e interpretará de acuerdo con las leyes de Singapur aplicables a los acuerdos que hayan sido celebrados y con los que se haya cumplido en Singapur, excluyendo la aplicación de las disposiciones sobre el conflicto de leyes.

Mobile App Products Privacy Policy

Effective: 18 July 2022

This Privacy Policy describes how Near Intelligence Holdings Inc. (“Near” “we” or “us”) collects, stores and uses information about users of our websites (“Sites”) and mobile applications (“Apps”) owned by Near Intelligence Holdings Inc. (collectively, the “Products”). By using our Products, you agree to Near’s collection, storage, use and disclosure of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with anything in this Privacy Policy, please do not install or use Our Products.

Background

Our Products support users’ experience with Twitter including the social apps Echofon, UberSocial, and Plume. To use these Apps, users (“Users”) need to log in in using their Twitter credentials.

WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

We collect the following types of information from our Users:

  • Information You Provide: When you set up your account, provide us with an email, or share information with us in any other way, such as a customer support request, we collect and store the information you share. This will include your Twitter handle, but not your password which is retained by Twitter. You do not have to share information with us, but without it you may not be able to access certain content or features of the Products.
  • Automatic Collection: Like many technology providers, we use common internet technologies such as cookies on Sites and persistent tools on Apps to keep track of users’ interactions with the Products. These tools will collect general device and browser information, including device type and model, browser type and version, app type and versions, as well as information related to your use of the Products. We also contract with third party providers who use similar tracking tags on the Products via SDKs, to collect information about your use of the Products, for advertising, analytics, and measurement purposes. More about this is discussed below.
  • Publicly Posted: If you post information on public areas via the Products (or elsewhere on the internet), that information is public and may be collected, stored and used by anyone, including us. We use a Twitter API to pull up your posts and timeline information; such information is stored by Twitter and is not stored by us.
  • Use of Social Media Applications: The Products utilize certain API “feeds” or other mechanisms provided by third parties, notably Twitter (“Third Party Apps”), to access your accounts as authorized by you when you use of the Products. Those Third Party Apps may share information about you with us, depending upon the privacy settings you have set within your account for such Third Party Apps. The Third Party App settings enabled by you do not allow us to access content, data or information not authorized by those privacy settings. Please refer to the privacy settings in your Third Party Apps account to manage your public profile and other aspects of your account with those Third Party Apps.
  • Mobile Location Information: If you consent to allow access to your geo location on the Products, and the Products are location enabled, we will collect and store information related to your mobile device location including over time to help provide a better experience with our Products and in connection with advertising, analytics, and measurement. Some functional use of the Products may be dependent on the data related to geolocation information (such as when you post a tweet from or about a location). If the settings on your device allow us to receive location information, we may also associate location information with other information we have about you. You are always free to turn off geolocation on your device (or limit it to certain Apps).

Some of this information may identify a particular device and may be “personal information” under some jurisdictions. Personal Information, as the term used in the United States, or Personal Data as referred to pursuant to the European Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC (EU General Data Protection Regulations Legislation, also known as “GDPR”) (hereinafter “PI”) has different definitions. Different regulations around the world may use different terminology and apply a different description of what information is considered personal information, so we encourage you to visit our jurisdictional specific pages as applicable (i.e. GDPR Notice).

The information we collect from devices that may be considered PI are:

  • your Twitter handle
  • mobile advertising device IDs (MAIDs): these are IDFAs for iOS, and Android Ad IDs for Android
  • Information about a User’s activities or actions on the Products and interaction with advertising that run on the Products (session start/stop time, and advertising click-stream information)
  • IP addresses and general location data that can be extrapolated from an IP address level (city or postal code)
  • Latitude and longitude geolocation information if a User has provided consent from the relevant Product and enabled the mobile device to share location information. You are always free to turn off geolocation (or limit it to certain mobile applications) or to adjust your advertising settings on your device.

For clarity, and without limiting the above, we do not collect information that directly identifies a natural person, including the following information, among other information: names, email addresses, cell phone or home phone numbers, login passwords, social security, drivers licenses. We also do not collect financial or other sensitive information.

Advertising on the Products

The Products display advertisements (“Ads”) which are delivered by Near’s services and through third party providers. When Ads are served, information regarding interaction with the Ads shown to you is collected by the third party advertising exchange partners and us. The Ads that are served on the Products include targeted, behavioral advertising based upon information compiled about users to provide more relevant advertising content. Near and third parties operating the ad serving platforms we use, collect and utilize interest, contextual, demographic, geolocation information, and device-related information (i.e. device ID and browser type, date and time stamps) and information related to Ads served (such as preferences, content viewed, clicks and views) in connection with delivering and measuring advertising. This data is used to help choose which Ads to deliver and to enhance our advertising and analytics capabilities, as well as to offer analytics measurement and data enhancement services to our partners for their marketing and advertising purposes. When the Products are location enabled, and you have consented to enabling access to geolocation data on the Products, Near will collect and process geolocation data over time and use this data in connection with the advertising, measurement, and attribution services as described herein. To the extent Near makes available geolocation to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, it will be provided without identifying you personally.

The Products are enabled with tools to support the services of third parties performing advertising and analytics on the Products. The third party service provider tools implemented on our Products are for the purposes of: advertising services, analytics and crash reporting services, Emoji (in UberSocial/Android and UberSocial/iPhone), Facebook (to enable cross-posting and showing timelines); an Android-file logger (to allow Users to share app logs with us). To enable these services, those tools will collect and transmit devices ID, device-related and application-related information to those providers.

HOW INFORMATION WE COLLECT IS USED

We use the information we collect for a variety of business purposes in connection with the Products, which include the following purposes:

  • Providing Our Services: Generally we use the information we collect about Users to inform about our products (including advertising) as described in this Policy and to fulfill your requests and validate your User rights; contact and communicate with you; and as otherwise described in this Policy.
  • Serving Ads: To allow us to offer advertising inventory in the Products and to fill that inventory with relevant ads.
  • Performance Analytics: To analyze ad performance, such as tracking views of ads, as well as click-through rates to websites or app stores and/or installs of apps that have been advertised.
  • Service Usage and Support: To calculate usage levels, to help diagnose server problems, and administer the Products.
  • Use for Our Services Business (as described in our Business Services Privacy Policy)
  • As we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside a User’s country of residence; (b) to comply with subpoenas, warrants, or other legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside an User’s country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, Users, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

WHERE WE SHARE INFORMATION

  • Anonymous/Aggregated Information. Anonymous or aggregated information that does not identify you personally, like usage and metrics information, may be shared with others, including partners, developers, potential investors, marketers, and business partners. Anonymous information helps us understand trends and user needs so that we can better design new products and services and refine existing products and services to serve our customers better.

PI May Be Shared As Follows:

  • during due diligence or in preparation for or after a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation. If Near or its assets is purchased, all associated data and information will be transferred.
  • with those entities who are helping us make the Services available and functional under contract and with safeguards. These include third-party vendors, technical agents, subcontractors, and our affiliates and consultants who assist us in performing functions to operate our Services. These functions include, for example, website hosting, maintenance, data analysis, customer support, infrastructure services, technical agents, analytics and metrics services. These third parties will be contractually restricted in the way they can use PI.
  • As in any transaction, if you provide your credit card information for purchases on Product, our credit card processor and your credit card company will be provided with all relevant information about us, item(s) purchased, cost and other information necessary to process the transaction. We use a third party service provider to process payments made on our Sites, so your credit card information is not collected and retained by us.
  • when permitted or required by law or where we believe such action is necessary in order to protect or defend our interests or the interests of our users or business partners.
  • We may disclose PI to the extent required by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that we need to disclose it in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings (whether initiated by governmental/law enforcement officials, or private parties). If we have to disclose PI to governmental/law enforcement officials, we may not be able to ensure that those officials will maintain the privacy and security of PI.

WHAT ARE MY CONSUMER CHOICE/DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS/OPT OUT

For personal information access, opt out and deletion requests with respect to any PI processed by Near, and for personal data of Data Subjects for residents of EU, UK and Switzerland, you can follow the instructions on our Consumer Choices page. Please note that we will need your Mobile Ad ID in order to identify your device in our systems.

As discussed more fully in our Privacy Policies, most of the information we collect and use is de-identified and aggregated information, such as de-identified categories of app use and jittered geolocation information associated with a de-identified device id. We also provide partners with de-identified device id information, except in the case when the actual device id is needed, such as for targeted advertising and for matching and measurement of advertising. De-identified and aggregated information is not Personal Information, and we use such information in a number of ways for our business intelligence services as we discuss in our Privacy Policy, including for marketing and targeted advertising and data analytics.

We do not use your twitter handle other than to authenticate your use on our Twitter-based Apps.

Your Rights And Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Information Request

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Information about you over the past 12 months. To provide this information we need your mobile advertising device id (which is a unique id number assigned to each device). We ask you to complete a form and then follow the instructions to provide us with a legible image of your mobile advertising device id. Once we receive and confirm your consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
  • If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, we will also identify the categories of Personal Information we shared by such sale.

Access Right

CCPA provides consumers with rights to request access of the Personal Information about them when the consumer can verify that they are the rightful owner of the information requested. We need your mobile ad id in order to identify any device in our systems but we don’t have a way to confirm that the device mobile ad id actually belongs to the particular person making the request. That’s because we do not collect the information that would match the device id to the actual owner (such as a name or account information) to allows us to confirm that the consumer requesting the information is the same consumer that owns the device. It would require us to actually collect more Personal Information to try to verify who the device owner is, such as requesting a full name, address, and receipt of purchase of the device. Additionally we want to avoid the potential risk of providing a requestor who provides a mobile ad id with the Personal Information that belongs to another individual. For example, a requestor can take a snapshot of the device id of his/her friend and request her Personal Information without her consent. Accordingly, in a matter of caution, we are not able to provide the particular file associated with any particular mobile advertising device id. If you are uncomfortable with our having any Personal Information about you, please send us a request to opt out or to delete your information.

Opt Out Of Sales And Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we opt out your Personal Information from any sales. You also have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will honor your request (and direct our service providers to as well).

We may deny your deletion request if we cannot verify the device id or it meets one of the exemptions under CCPA. We will also retain a copy of our records related to processing your request.

Exercising Access, Opt Out, And Deletion Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please visit our Consumer Choices pages. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your mobile device identity to confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to process the request and to a retain a record of the request.

Response Timing And Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or unfounded.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to amend this notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the update information on our website.

  • Mobile advertising device id
  • IP Addresses and general (city or postal code) location data that can be extrapolated from an IP address
  • Latitude and longitude points
  • Timestamps with local dates and times and time zones

DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION

CCPA ensures that Users are provided with the right to opt-out from their personal data being sold. If you would like to opt out of all sales of any personal information we may have associated with your device, please click here to complete a form to OPT OUT OF SALES. The information you supply to us for this request will only be used for the purpose of identifying the personal information about the device which you are requesting and responding to your request (including a record of our efforts).

DELETION REQUEST

If you would like us to DELETE the personal information we have associated with your device, please click here to complete a form to request DATA DELETION. The information you supply to us for this request will only be used for the purpose of identifying the Personal Information about the device which you are requesting and responding to your request (including a record of our efforts).

ACCESS

Certain jurisdictions also provide consumers with rights to request access (correction or portability) of the personal information held about them. We are not able to provide you with the particular file about any particular device because we are not able to confirm who the actual device owner is. We need your manufacturers’ advertising device id (the IDFAs for iOS, and Android Ad IDs for Android, “MAIDs”) in order to identify the device in our systems but we don’t have a way to confirm that the device MAID belongs to any particular person. We do not retain information that would match the device id to the actual owner, so we do not have a way to confirm that the consumer requesting the information is the same consumer that owns the device. It would require us to actually collect more personal information to try to verify who the device owner is, such as requesting their full name, address, and receipt of purchase of the device. Additionally we want to avoid the potential risk of providing a requestor who provides a MAID with the personal information that could belong to another individual. For example, the requestor takes a snapshot of the device id of his fiancée to request her personal information without her consent. If you are uncomfortable with our having any personal information about you, please complete the form to request a DATA DELETION.
