(b) What cookies and other similar technologies we use.

• Cookies

Cookies are a small string of characters that Zemanta uses to uniquely identify a browser and device. Zemanta synchronizes these cookies with its partners to identify users in all settings and to know in which segments our partners identify our users. Please look at thiscookie tableSee "Zemanta Users" for a detailed list of the first-party cookies used by Zemanta when you interact with the websites that use Zemanta.

• Pixel-Tags

Pixel tags are transparent images or short Javascript snippets that Zemanta partners and customers use to understand how their users interact with their online properties, including websites and mobile apps.

Zemanta advertisers can implement the Zemanta pixel on their websites. The Zemanta pixel determines whether the user accessing the page where the pixel is installed has a Zemanta UUID. If a UUID is associated with this end user, Zemanta allows advertisers to redirect these UUIDs and/or provide advertisers with the total number of UUIDs that landed on this page. If there is no Zemanta UUID on the page, the Zemanta pixel will not collect any information about the user.

Advertisers are encouraged to advertise using the Zemanta pixel on their own websites. Zemanta does not combine pixel information with a UUID profile.

• mobile advertising identifiers

Mobile advertising IDs (e.g. IDFA) are unique IDs assigned to individual mobile devices. Users can reset them by instructing their device to do so.

• General web analysis

Zemanta integrates with its client and partner web analytics software to monitor how users behave after clicking ads. Any data collection by web analytics software is subject to that customer's and/or third party's privacy policy.

• Zemanta-Client-Technologies

Zemanta's customers and other third parties using Zemanta's Services may use their own tags, pixel cookies or other technologies (or those of their other affiliates) in their advertisements and on certain websites. In such cases, you will be governed by their privacy policy.

(c) How We May Share Information

Zemanta may share some personal data (e.g. Zemanta's UUID, device ID and IP address) with certain partners for cookie synchronization purposes or due to technical requirements. Third parties may determine your identity by using the information we disclose to them together with other information in their possession.

Zemanta may share some personal information with the following categories of trusted third parties:

• supply-side platform;
• data management platform;
• Exchange; me
• ad networks.

For a more detailed description of the above categories, see our glossary.

(d) Your Rights

• Zemanta Exclusion

You can unsubscribe from Zemanta's personalized recommendations at any time. Deactivation means that Zemanta will no longer collect data as long as you remain deactivated. You can turn off personalization on your desktop and mobile webhere.

Please note that you can disable personalized in-app recommendations via your device settings (e.g. by following the instructions for iOS devices and for Android devices).

IMPORTANT– even if you have unsubscribed from Zemanta:

• You keep seeing ads.Opting out of Zemanta tracking does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising. Rather, it means that ads are not interest-based or targeted based on your browser's cookies.
• The opt-out is cookie-based and device/browser specific.If you surf the Internet with multiple devices and/or browsers, you must disable each device and/or browser to ensure that personalization tracking is prevented on all devices. For the same reason, you will need to opt out again if you buy a new device, change your browser, or remove (or delete) your opt-out cookie. Disabling personalization tracking is not the same as blocking cookies.
• To ensure that the profile associated with your UUID is removed, please log out of Zemanta for at least 21 days.Your deactivation will take effect immediately. However, if your browser allows local storage and you opt-in to Zemanta's personalized recommendations within 21 days of opting out, your old profile may be reconnected to your UUID. If you do not cancel your subscription within 21 days, your profile will be deleted and cannot be restored.
• As with most opt-out cookies, opting out of the Zemanta browser is dependent on a cookie.The opt-out cookie is intended to be persistent to respect user preferences. However, the Smart Tracking Prevention feature in iOS11 can affect the persistence of cookies on websites after a 24-hour period. We recommend using a different browser or blocking all third-party cookies from your browser so that you can "opt-out" without having to rely on a company's actual opt-out method.
• Additional Opt-Out Opportunities.

You may also opt out of receiving personalized advertising served by us or other advertising companies through industry tools such as NAI and/or EDAA.www.youronlinechoices.eu🇧🇷 If you visit the NAI or EDAA consumer choice pages, you may opt out of some or all participating member services. As with Zemanta's opt-out, these opt-outs do not mean that you will no longer receive advertising; The ads just don't suit you. You may still receive ads, for example based on the specific website you are viewing (i.e. contextual ads). If your browsers are set to refuse cookies when you visit EDAA's consumer choice pages, opting out may not be effective.

3. How We Secure Information, Transfers Outside the EEA, Sharing and Retention

security

Zemanta has a dedicated security team. We maintain strict controls over the personal information we collect and store it in firewall-protected databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights to ensure its security. We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect about you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction and any other form of unauthorized processing.

Business Partners have access to certain password-protected features of the Zemanta Service. You are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please remember that, unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. A common online scam is known as "spoofing" or "phishing". This happens when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting your personal information. Please note that we will not send you emails asking you to confirm your credit card, bank details or any other personal information. If you receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information, please do not reply to or click on any links in the email. Forward the email to us insteadlegal@outbrain.com, as we will investigate cases of possible fraud on the internet.

Data transfers outside the EU/EEA

When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area to other countries where the applicable laws do not provide the same level of data protection as in the European territories, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection. In other words, your rights and protections remain with your data. For example, we use approved contractual clauses and other measures to ensure that recipients of your personal information protect it.

Exchange

In addition to describing how we may disclose your personal information to each type of user, we may also disclose personal information as follows:

• Within the group of companies controlled by Outbrain Inc (parent company of Zemanta Inc) for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes;
• When we go through a business transition, such as B. a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information will likely be among the assets transferred;
• When required by law (for example, to cooperate with a police investigation or other legal process); me
• To respond to a real emergency.

In addition, we combine your personal information with that of other users to share trend information and aggregated user statistics with third parties, always in an aggregated and anonymous manner.

data retention

The retention period of each of the cookies used by Zemanta (own or third party) is indicated in thecookie table.

Zemanta also maintains a data retention policy which details the retention period for personal data based on our analysis of how long certain data is reasonably required for legal or business purposes. When we no longer need personal information, we securely delete or destroy it. Aggregated data that does not identify a device/browser (or person) and is used for reporting and analysis purposes is retained for as long as commercially necessary.

4. Kinder

None of our Services are directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If, upon collection, we determine that a website visitor, user or business partner is under the age of 16, we will not use or store their personally identifiable information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information from our records. If you are a child, please go play in the garden, please do not use or interact with Zemanta!

5. Citizens of European territory

• under certain circumstances, the right to request the restriction of the processing of personal data.
• You can revoke your consent to the processing and use of your data in whole or in part at any time upon further request.
• You have the right to receive your personal data in a common, structured and machine-readable format.
• Please contact our data protection officer if you have any questions, comments, complaints or inquiries about our data protection declaration and the processing of your personal data.
• the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the law.

In addition, in this privacy policy we refer to certain rights of citizens of the European territory.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “European Territories” continues to include the United Kingdom even after the United Kingdom has left the European Economic Area following Brexit.
