Privacy Policy

Last updated version: July 3, 2023

Simulmedia (“Simulmedia”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a TV and video game advertising company that provides optimized content and analytics to its customers projected from a data set based on tens of millions of television viewers (“TV Viewership Panel”). This policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information through our digital advertising technology platform (the “Platform”) and our corporate website at www.simulmedia.com (“Site”).

Simulmedia does not independently collect any data directly from consumers, nor does it sell any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Instead, Simulmedia licenses data from reputable third-party sources (“Data Vendors”) pursuant to agreements which ensure that all of the data provided to Simulmedia, including data in its TV Viewership Panel, is provided on an anonymous and deidentified basis, and does not contain personally identifiable information such as an individual’s name, date of birth, postal address, email address, telephone number, passport number, or social security number. Each Data Vendor represents and warrants that it has complied with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as its own privacy policies, in the collection and the provision of such data to Simulmedia.

Simulmedia associates unique household identifiers with its TV Viewership Panel. Simulmedia uses external, independent third-party safe havens to match different datasets, such as demographic attributes or purchase information, to its TV Viewership Panel. Because of its strict procedures preventing reidentification, and the use of third-party safe havens, Simulmedia has no way of ascertaining what data relates to any particular household or consumer. Simulmedia also maintains technical safeguards that prohibit and prevent any data from being decompiled, reidentified, reverse engineered or otherwise so as to identify the particular household in its Viewership Panel. Simulmedia’s policies and procedures are also designed to prevent any inadvertent release of deidentified information.

For video game content and ad delivery, Simulmedia acts as a data processor for its game publisher partners. It does not control consumer data and only collects and retains data for limited purposes and time periods as required for data processing in strict accordance with its agreements with publisher licensors and their user licenses.

From time to time, Simulmedia may receive internet protocol addresses from third party clients (“IP Addresses”). These IP Addresses are not associated with any personally identifiable information and do not identify or link to any particular consumer or household. Simulmedia maintains these IP Addresses for a limited period of time in a privacy compliant manner solely for the purpose of measuring the impact of an advertisement on web traffic on behalf of third-party clients. Simulmedia promptly deletes the IP Addresses following the completion of these client analytics.

In order to ensure transparency and give you more control over your personal data, this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs how we, Simulmedia, and its affiliates, including PlayerWON, use, collect and store personal data we collect or receive from or about you (“you”) such as in the following use cases:

• When you browse or visit our website, https://www.simulmedia.com/ (“Site”);
• When you make use of, or interact with, our Site
  • When you subscribe to our newsletter;
  • When you download case studies or other informational materials;
  • When you contact us (e.g. customer support, need help, get in touch, and submit a request);
• When you are a Publisher or Advertiser and you create an account, log in and make use of the TV+ Platform or PlayerWON Platform portal user interface and/or any other software that we provide for its intended use;
• the Simulmedia API or SDK is initiated by the Publisher's game on a User device;
• When you attend marketing events and provide us with Personal Data and/or exchange business cards with us;
• When we use the Personal Data of our service providers and suppliers;
• When we use the Personal Data of the Advertisers;
• When we use the Personal Data of the Publisher and Partner;
• When you interact with us on our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn); and
• Any in-person interaction with you.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, so you can fully understand our practices in relation to personal data. “Personal Data” or “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you.

It is important that you read this privacy notice together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

Information Simulmedia Collects

Client Analytics Based on Simulmedia Licensed Data

All TV data analytics provided by Simulmedia to customers (through Simulmedia or through a Simulmedia partner) that are based on data received from our Data Vendors are provided in a deidentified form, and do not contain any personally identifiable information, nor is any household level TV viewing information ever provided to Simulmedia customers. As an added protection, Simulmedia also requires that its clients represent and warrant that they will not associate any personally identifiable information with data analytics provided by Simulmedia.

Information the Simulmedia Platform Collects

As a consumer of a Digital Property integrated with our digital advertising Platform

When you (an internet user) interact with a Digital Property that has integrated our Platform or that uses technology that integrates with our Platform, we collect certain information about your visit. This policy refers this information as “Platform Data”, and includes the following:

• Information about your instance of the publisher software running on the Digital Property including: the type of game, game engine, game language, game settings, and player information but not your name, email address, or other information that personally identifies you. This may include data about you related to bid requests and ad impressions, collected when we decide to show you an ad on a Digital Property and when we deliver an ad.
• Information about your device including device operating system version, connection type, device make, device model, device Identifiers such as your IDFA or AAID, and the IP address from which the device accesses a client’s Digital Property.
• Location information, including precise location information when location services have been enabled for an app on your device that has integrated our technology or that sends that information to our Platform.
• Information about your activity on a Digital Property such as session history, viewing history, search history and information regarding an individual’s interaction with an internet website, app, or advertisement, including the time web pages or apps were visited or used, including in-game or online viewing activity (e.g., videos viewed, pages viewed).
• Inferences or audience segmentation derived from Platform Data, such as individual profiles, preferences, characteristics, and behaviors.
• Information about ads served, viewed or clicked on, including the type of ad, where the ad was served, whether you clicked on it and whether you visited the advertiser’s website or downloaded the advertiser’s app.

The information we collect about you does not reflect your name, email address, or “Other Information” that directly identifies you, and we take care to ensure that we do not collect any information that tells us who you are. However, the information listed above could be combined with Other Information to identify or reveal information about you, so it may qualify as personal information or personal data under applicable law.

As described in further detail below, we may collect the categories of personal information listed above from other sources, such as our affiliates.

Simulmedia’s Platform allows D.igital Properties, advertisers, and others to buy and sell data to help make the ads that you see more relevant. Advertisers may share with us information about your interests or demographic information (your age or gender) that they have collected directly from you and from third parties, and they may use that information on our Platform to help make the ads served to you more relevant or for other purposes.

In accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we do not knowingly request, solicit, access or receive personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 or, in respect of other jurisdictions under the applicable age limit, if higher. Our partners who use our Platform to provide advertising media for customers and store personal data may, however, collect personal data from individuals under the age of 13 (or other applicable age) and we may then receive this data via our Platform. Such partners are the “operators” of the respective media (as defined by COPPA) or “controllers” as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018 or GDPR. While it is our partners’ responsibility, not ours, to ensure compliance with COPPA or other applicable data protection laws in relation to the collection of such data, in the event we have actual notice that a partner has collected personal information in violation of COPPA, Data Protection Act 2018 or other applicable law, we will require such partner to take measure to comply with the applicable legislation.

The Sources from which Simulmedia Collects Platform Data and Other Information, and the Process for that Collection

Cookies and other online tracking technology. When you visit a Digital Property, we may assign a random unique identifier (a “Simulmedia ID”) to your browser or device, which allows the Platform to automatically recognize your browser or device the next time it visits the same Digital Property that has continued to use our integrated technology. This allows our clients and partners to sync their own unique identifiers against this ID so that they can use their own data on the Platform that they may have associated with you (collectively “Digital Identifiers”).

The Platform uses cookies, beacons, pixels, tags, mobile SDKs, and similar technologies to collect this information.

Other Information

We collect other information, including without limitation personal information, from other companies as further described below (collectively “Other Information”).

Other companies. We collect information from other companies such as analytics providers, advertising and marketing firms, information suppliers, and other promotional and strategic partners.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use, and allow our clients to use, the information we collect for the following purposes:

• For our legitimate business interests to provide services to advertisers and owners of Digital Properties, including providing and operating our services which includes:
  • Compiling statistics about the advertising transactions occurring through our Platform and conducting research and development for our own internal business purposes, such as analyzing campaign forecasts and conducting machine learning to help our clients improve their sales of ad space and delivery of ads to you;
  • Analyzing and reporting on campaign and ad performance, such as reporting to advertisers about when and how you have been exposed to ads or clicked on ads, and reporting to Digital Properties information about when and how ads were shown on their Digital Properties and whether they were clicked on;
  • Investigating, protecting against and deterring malicious activity, fake traffic or fraudulent, unauthorized or illegal activity on the Platform and on the internet; and
  • Debugging errors in systems.
• Allowing our clients to use Platform Data for the following advertising-related purposes:
  • Interest-Based Advertising: Using Platform Data to infer what you may be interested in and to serve ads to you based on these inferred interests. Our clients may use their Platform Data to create interest profiles about you;
  • Frequency Capping: Limiting the number of times you see an ad and to limit the same ad or type displayed to you;
  • Showing Ads in Sequence: Showing you ads in a particular order to provide a better user experience;
  • Geo-Targeting: Customizing ads shown to you based on your current or prior location;
  • Contextual Ads: Showing ads to you based on the content you are viewing;
  • Ad Measurement: Understanding how users respond to ads (e.g., completing an ad, or scanning a QR code);

• Cross-Device Mapping: Enabling Cross-Device Mapping (grouping the devices that are owned by an individual or household) in order to serve or measure advertising on related devices on behalf of our clients.

Typically, companies using the Platform own the data that they provide to and get from the Platform. While we take care to obtain assurances from our clients and partners that their use of Platform Data will comply with applicable laws, when clients remove data from the Platform, their use of that data is governed by their own privacy policies and applicable laws, rules, or regulations.

How and Why We Share the Information We Collect

We share Platform Data, in some instances together with Other Information, with third parties as follows:

• Clients and Third-Party Providers: When you visit a Digital Property and that Digital Property wants to show you ads, and to show you those ads the Digital Property may allow certain third parties to access your device or receive and use the information noted above under “What Information do we collect and use.”

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA” (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.) applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information” collected from California residents (as those terms are defined by the CCPA). CCPA Personal Information (CCPA PI) is defined by California law as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with California consumers or households. The CCPA requires us to disclose to California consumers the categories of personal information (as defined in the CCPA) we collect, our business and commercial purposes for collecting, using, or selling such personal information, the categories of sources from which we collect personal information, the categories of personal information we have disclosed or sold for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding 12 months, and the categories third parties with whom we share personal information.

Deidentified household data used by Simulmedia in providing data analytics to clients will only include households from Data Vendors comprising the Simulmedia TV Viewership Panel. Simulmedia cannot determine whether it maintains data on any particular household or individual because of the deidentified manner in which TV Viewership Panel data is licensed to Simulmedia.

Information for Residents of European Countries

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (the “European Countries”), you have certain rights and protections under applicable law regarding the processing of your “personal data” as defined under applicable law. Some of the Platform Data that Simulmedia maintains in its Platform may constitute “personal data” under these laws.

Role of Simulmedia as a Controller or Processor

If you are located in one of the European Countries, Simulmedia may act as a “controller” as defined under applicable law when processing your personal data. Simulmedia may also act as a “processor” as defined under applicable law to the extent that it processes your personal data on behalf of and at the instruction of another party, for example a Simulmedia client.

Legal Basis for Processing

Simulmedia’s legal basis for processing your personal data depends upon the specific context in which we collect or use it. We normally rely on our legitimate interests to collect and use personal data, except where our interests are overridden by your data-protection interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests are described in greater detail in the “How We Use the Information We Collect” section of this policy. These legitimate interests include the operation of our Platform and business and the provision of our online advertising technology services to our clients as required by our agreements with them. In some cases, we may rely on your consent which is obtained for us by the operator of the Digital Properties that use our technology or use technology that interacts with our Platform. If we rely on consent to process your data, we will obtain such consent in compliance with applicable laws. Additionally, we may have a legal obligation to process personal data.

Your Rights

If you are located in one of the European Countries, you may be entitled to exercise certain data-subject rights available under applicable laws. These rights may include the right to request access to personal data we hold about you. You may also have the right to object to, or request that we restrict, processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to ask that your personal data be corrected, erased, or transferred to another party. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you may do so as explained in the Your Choices and Rights section above.

Data Transfers

When Simulmedia transfers your personal data to group companies or third-party service providers outside of the European Countries, we ensure that appropriate protections are in place under European data protection legislation (which includes Model Clauses). For example, to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected when transferred outside of the European Countries, Simulmedia has entered into intercompany “model clause” and “standard contractual clause” agreements and other adequacy arrangements with other various entities located outside the European Countries with whom we share your information.
