CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE WEBSITE.
ABOUT US
FieldTest, Inc. (“FieldTest”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a Delaware corporation located in the United States of America. On the Website, we provide information about our advertising products and services that enable brands, agencies, and retailers to leverage targeting advertising to place their message in front of consumers using programmatic display advertising (“Service”).
The Service is designed to display the ads of our clients to consumers who are likely to find those ads interesting. Our goal is to make advertising more relevant and useful to consumers by showing them ads that are based on their specific interests. These ads are displayed on websites and applications which rely on advertising revenue to support the free content we consume every day.
The Website is hosted in the United States, and is not directed to individuals under the age of sixteen (16). FieldTest does not knowingly collect information from individuals under sixteen (16) years of age without prior parental consent or consistent with applicable law.
CROSS BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
The Website may be available worldwide. If you access the Website from outside of the United States of America, data about you may be transferred to, stored and processed wherever we, our corporate affiliates, or the third parties with whom we may share information about you as described in this Privacy Policy, operate in connection with the Website. You authorize us to use the information collected in connection with the Website as explained below, which may involve transferring and storing such information across and outside your country to a country (such as a country outside of the European Economic Area) that may provide a different level of protection for such information.
TRANSPARENCY AND CHOICE
People have different privacy concerns. We believe you should have tools to control information about you and manage your experience with us. For example, with respect to any ads that may be served on the Website, you may opt out of interest-based or targeted advertising at:
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/66/managing-your-account-and-privacy-settings-overview
Please note that if you opt out of receiving interest-based or targeted advertising, you will continue to see the same number of ads, but they will be generic and may not be as relevant or useful to you.
Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising: Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices/ or www.youronlinechoices.com.
You can also learn more about interest-based or targeted advertising and ad serving companies and opt-out capabilities at the Network Advertising Initiative Website, Digital Advertising Alliance Website, Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, TrustArc, and European Interactive Advertising Digital Alliance. Please note that these opt-outs operate by placing an opt-out cookie on your device that is unique to the browser and device you used to opt-out. They may not function properly if you configured your browser to reject certain cookies. If you change browsers or computers, or delete the cookies on your computer, you will need to opt-out again. You also may be able to set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set and to block most cookies. Your mobile device may give you the ability to opt-out of interest-based advertising (“Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS devices or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android devices).

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or applications or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or from the Website, or for the privacy practices of advertisers. Once you click on an ad or link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the applicable website or application to determine, for example, how they will handle the information they collect about you.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION (EEA residents only)
If you a resident located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above depends on the type of information concerned, and the specific context in which we collect it.
We may rely on our legitimate interest to collect information from you, except where such interests are overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Where we rely on our legitimate interests to collect and process information about you, they include the interests described in the section above headed “How We Use the Information Collected”.
However, in some cases, we may rely on your consent or have a legal obligation to collect the information about you, or may otherwise need the information to protect your and/or our vital interests or those of another person or entity. If we rely on your consent to collect and/or process information about you, we will obtain such consent in compliance with applicable laws.
If you have questions about or want further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use information about you, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Information” section below.
EUROPEAN DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
If you are a resident of a country in the EEA, you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the collection, processing, and use of information about you. As set forth above, the information that we collect about you when you use the Website may include certain digital identifiers that are considered “personal data” under European law. We primarily process and store this data in the United States of America either as necessary to further our legitimate interest and/or pursuant to your consent. We transfer, process and store personal information outside of the EEA, to wherever we, our Affiliates, or the third parties with whom we may share information about you as described in this Privacy Policy, operate in connection with the Website.
As a resident of a country in the EEA, you have the right to: (i) request access to and obtain a copy of the information we collect about you; (ii) request rectification or erasure; (iii) restrict the processing of such information; and (iv) if applicable, data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of such information.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Information” section below. Please note that because most of the information we collect and maintain about you can only identify a particular browser or device, and cannot identify you individually, you may need to provide us with additional information to enable us to identify the information we have about you and ensure that we accurately fulfill your request. Although we use good faith efforts to respond to your request, we may not be able to provide and/or correct the requested information in all situations. For example, we may not be able to provide the information requested if it imposes an undue burden or expense, requires us to release confidential commercial information, or requires the disclosure of information relating to another person.
Finally, as a resident of the EEA, you have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of personal data with a European Data Protection Authority. For contact details of your relevant local Data Protection Authority, please review the information located at: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm.
DELETING INFORMATION (non-EEA residents)
Our goal is to delete the information collected about you within 30 days of receiving your written request. Please note that because most of the information collected can only identify a particular browser or device, and cannot identify you individually, you may need to provide us with additional information to enable us to identify the information we have about you and ensure that we accurately fulfill your request. Although we use good faith efforts to respond to your request, we may not be able to provide and/or correct the requested information in all situations. For example, we may not be able to delete the information requested if it imposes an undue burden or expense, requires us to release confidential commercial information, or requires the disclosure of information relating to another person.
However, as permitted by applicable law, we retain and may use information about you as necessary to comply with our legal and/or financial obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and other legitimate purposes (including, for document retention and security purposes). Please contact us using the details in the “Contact Information” section below to request changes or modification of the information you previously provided to us, or request deletion of other information collected about you.
DO NOT TRACK
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your browser that requests that websites and technology companies not collect certain browsing data. Currently, the standards regarding DNT and appropriate responses are not well defined. As such, FieldTest does not currently honor DNT settings in your browser.
SECURITY
FieldTest uses industry-standard physical, electronic, and procedural measures designed to safeguard the information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. However, please note no transmission of information via the Internet or electronic storage solution can be guaranteed to be completely secure, although we take reasonable precautions to protect against security incidents.
RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We store information we collect about you where we have an ongoing legitimate business purpose to do so (such as to provide you with requested information, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). For example, if you request information on the Website about our products and services, we will retain the data you provide for as long as we think you may have an interest in receiving information from us. Similarly, we retain log files for as long as it is necessary for our legitimate business purposes.
When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business purpose to use the information collected, we will either delete, anonymize, or aggregate it, or if not commercially reasonable (for example, because such information has been stored in our backup archives), we will securely store the information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.
The cookies set via the Website expire no later than 366 days after they were last accessed, while certain cookies that are not used for tracking purposes may be refreshed for as long as such cookies are necessary for our legitimate business purposes. We typically store the information we collect, such as IP address and other information described in the section above headed “Information We Collect” for up to 90 days before that data is anonymized and aggregated into summary reports. When we no longer need the information we collect, it is deleted from either the cookies or our servers (as applicable).
In some cases, we may keep some information for longer periods of time where required under certain laws or to comply with law enforcement or regulatory requests, which for example may include, those relating to corporate governance, taxation, money laundering, and financial reporting legislation.
