MultiBrain INC. ("MultiBrain") is committed to protecting consumer privacy and providing transparent information about the collection and use of personal data. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") outlines how MultiBrain collects, processes, and shares personal information when delivering mobile advertising automation technology and solutions to advertisers, buyers, app developers, and publishers of mobile apps and websites (collectively, "Clients"). Our practices are designed to ensure market quality and transparency, aligning with regulations on data privacy.
This Policy applies specifically to information gathered through MultiBrain’s Ad Services, which may include advertising, measurement, data validation, fraud protection, and related services. The Policy also explains your choices regarding the processing of your information within these services. It does not apply to personal information collected through MultiBrain’s website; please refer to our Website Privacy Policy for information about data processing related to website interactions.
For purposes of this Policy, "Personal Information" refers to data that identifies or can be reasonably linked directly or indirectly to you or your household. This Policy does not cover anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated information as defined by applicable law.
MultiBrain collects various types of information to optimize ad delivery and provide a personalized advertising experience for End-Users. This section describes the types of information we collect through our Ad Services and how it may be used.
2.1 Information You Provide
We collect Personal Information when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you give us feedback or request information. This Personal Information will only be used to respond to your feedback or fulfill your request.
2.2 Device Identifiers
To deliver relevant ads, MultiBrain may identify your device using unique identifiers, including:
Operating System-Supplied Identifiers: Such as Google’s Advertising Identifier (GAID), or randomly assigned identifiers.
Device-Related Identifiers: Including IP addresses, device type (e.g., smartphone), device model, operating system (e.g., Andorid), device language, carrier (e.g., Verizon), network connection type (e.g., WiFi or cellular), and hashed MAC addresses (MD5 format).
App-Related Identifiers: Such as the device’s Identifier for Vendor (IFV), an identifier unique to an app publisher.
These identifiers help us ensure ad relevance, perform frequency capping, and optimize ad delivery based on device and operating environment.
2.3 Location Data
To enhance ad relevance, MultiBrain may use precise location data linked to your Device Identifier, such as GPS coordinates, which may be obtained from apps and websites where you have opted to share your location. Additionally, we may use data about device movement, proximity to other devices, and other available system data. Location data is used for:
Ad Targeting: To deliver ads based on relevant geographic areas or locations.
Performance Metrics: To analyze impressions, clicks, and other ad performance indicators to evaluate marketing impact.
If you prefer not to share precise location data, you can opt out using your mobile device’s settings. Ads will still be served based on broader location data, such as location inferred from IP addresses.
2.4 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
When you access our services through mobile websites or apps, we automatically collect certain information using "cookies" and other tracking technologies, including:
Cookies: Small data files stored by your device’s web browser that help us recognize your device, track user interactions, and personalize the experience. We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted) for tracking and analytics.
Log Files: We collect data such as IP address, browser type and language, device type, timestamp, amount of data transferred, referring page, and the type of content delivered.
You may adjust your browser settings to block or remove cookies; however, doing so may impact your experience with our services. This information helps us optimize ad content, track engagement, and improve the quality of our services.
2.5 Web Beacons and Pixels
MultiBrain may permit publishers and advertisers to use web beacons or "pixels" – tiny graphics similar to cookies – within advertisements to collect non-personal information or aggregate data. Pixels help us track ad engagement, such as views or clicks, and optimize the delivery of content.
2.6 Information from Third Parties
Our partners may collect additional information via cookies, similar trackers and share it with MultiBrain. This data, including app or website usage details, is combined with the information we collect to enrich our insights and improve ad targeting. You may have the option to modify or disable data collection in your device’s settings.
2.7 Data Shared with SSPs and Advertisers
For effective ad delivery, we share relevant data with our SSP partners and advertisers, including:
Device Information: Such as device type, manufacturer, model, operating system, carrier, and network type.
Geolocation Data: Town-level data (or more precise data with opt-in) is used by SSPs for targeted advertising. Users can opt out of precise location tracking if desired.
User Interaction Data: Information on ad views and clicks to assess ad performance.
Authentication-Derived Identifiers: Hashed identifiers (e.g., email or phone number) created using methods like SHA-256 or MD5 are used by DSPs to personalize ads. Note that no authentication-derived identifiers are collected from EU-based users.
By understanding how users interact with ads and gathering relevant device and location data, MultiBrain ensures optimized and relevant ad delivery for improved user experiences.
MultiBrain uses the information we collect to provide, optimize, and improve our advertising services, and to deliver relevant, personalized ads to users. The information we gather is essential for the functioning of our Ad Services, including ad targeting, reporting, and analytics. Below are the key ways we use the information collected:
3.1 Providing and Improving Ad Services
We use the information we collect to deliver and enhance our Ad Services, including the optimization of ad delivery and ad targeting. This includes:
Device Identification: Using automatically transmitted device characteristics and identifiers (e.g., Device ID, IP address, operating system) to uniquely identify and link different devices used by the End-User.
Precise Geolocation: With user consent, we may collect and use geolocation data to serve location-based ads and to track ad effectiveness.
This data helps ensure ads are displayed to the right audience at the right time, improving overall ad performance.
3.2 Delivering Ads
MultiBrain works with publishers and app developers to offer advertising inventory, while advertisers and buyers (DSPs) bid on and place ads in that inventory. We use the data collected to:
Tailor Ad Content: Select and display relevant ads based on user behavior, interests, and device information.
Ad Placement: Ensure that ads are placed in the appropriate environments, whether on websites or within apps.
3.3 Behavioral Targeting
We may use the information collected to help our advertising partners predict future user behavior and interests. This allows advertisers to select highly relevant ads for the right users, based on data from multiple devices or specific devices. This process, known as behavioral targeting, helps improve the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Opt-Out Option: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to opt out of behavioral targeting. If you wish to opt-out, you can do so through the settings on your device or by directly contacting MultiBrain. For third-party publishers or advertising clients using our Ad Services, you will need to opt-out directly with them according to their privacy policies.
3.4 Reports and Analytics
We collect data on ad performance, including impressions, clicks, and conversions, to:
A). Track Ad Effectiveness: Measure the success of ad campaigns, including metrics like click-through rates and app installs.
B). Generate Reports: Provide detailed performance reports to our clients, helping them assess the success of their campaigns and make data-driven decisions.
3.5 Data Validation and Fraud Prevention
To ensure the quality and integrity of the data used in our Ad Services, we use the information collected to:
A). Validate Data: Match End-User information across devices and platforms to ensure the accuracy of data.
B). Prevent Fraud: Identify and filter out invalid impressions, clicks, installs, or ad queries, reducing the risk of fraudulent activities in our Ad Services.
3.6 Legal Compliance and Protection
We may use the information we collect for several essential purposes, including:
A). Compliance with Legal Requirements: To comply with legal obligations or respond to requests from government authorities, including those from the End-User’s country of residence.
B). Protection of Rights and Safety: To protect our business, our subsidiaries, our clients, and user privacy and safety.
C). Audits and Security: To conduct internal audits and assessments related to security, accounting, or corporate processes.
D). Enforcement of Terms: To ensure compliance with our terms and conditions, preventing misuse of our services.
3.7 International Data Processing
Your Personal Information may be processed in the country where it was collected, as well as in other countries, including the United States, where data protection laws may be less stringent than those in your country of residence.
3.8 Opt-Out and Data Management
You have the option to opt out of certain data processing activities:
A). Limit Ad Tracking: You can limit ad tracking on your device through its settings, which will prevent ads from being selected based on your activities across different websites or apps. However, you will still see ads, but they may not be as relevant.
B). Opt-Out Cookies: For services using cookies, we offer opt-out cookies that allow you to decline ad targeting across the websites you visit.
By using the information we collect, MultiBrain ensures that ads are more relevant, helps improve our advertising services, and provides transparency and control to users over how their data is used.
