I. Global Privacy Disclosures

1. Who Is AdsWizz?

AdsWizz is an advertising technology company that facilitates the delivery of audio ads across digital content like podcasts, music streaming, and radio. We operate both a Supply Side Platform (SSP) and a Demand Side Platform (DSP), meaning we connect publishers who have ad space (“supply”) with advertisers and agencies who want to reach listeners (“demand”).

We may process personal data when:

• You listen to a podcast or music on a publisher’s site or app
• You interact with ads inserted via our platform
• Your data is shared with us by one of our third parties we have a relationship with (e.g., advertisers or data providers)

2. Types of Data We Process

We primarily process pseudonymous data about your devices and interactions, including:

• Cookie and device identifiers
• IP addresses
• Browser and operating system info
• General or approximate location (e.g., city-level)
• Audio ad playback logs (e.g., what was played, when, where)
• Ad-related metadata (e.g., ad ID, campaign ID)
• Interest or demographic data from partners or inferred by our systems

We do not collect data that directly identifies you (like your name or email) unless it is explicitly provided through a separate mechanism (e.g., consent opt-outs).

3. How We Collect Data

We receive personal data:

• Through bid requests and integrations with publishers and advertisers
• From third-party partners like data management platforms (DMPs)
• Via technologies such as cookies, SDKs, pixels, and mobile ad IDs

Legal bases for processing include:

• Consent (collected by publishers or partners)
• Legitimate interest (for analytics, security, or core ad delivery)
• Contractual necessity
• Legal obligations

To manage your preferences, visit our Cookie Policy.

4. Purposes of Data Processing

We process data to:

• Deliver and personalize digital audio ads
• Enable targeting by publisher- or advertiser-defined segments
• Improve ad relevance based on context and pseudonymous signals
• Measure and report on ad delivery and performance
• Prevent fraud and invalid traffic
• Operate and improve our technology and services
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We may combine data from different sources to improve accuracy and consistency.

5. Data Disclosure and Transfers

We may share your data with:

• Publishers and advertisers using our platform
• DSPs, agencies, and ad networks
• Measurement and analytics providers
• Technology vendors and cloud hosting providers (e.g., AWS Ireland)
• Regulators or legal authorities when required

For users in the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure lawful data transfers.

6. Your GDPR Rights

If you are in the EU/EEA/UK, you may:

• Access your data (Art. 15)
• Correct inaccuracies (Art. 16)
• Request deletion (Art. 17)
• Restrict processing (Art. 18)
• Request data portability (Art. 20)
• Object to certain uses (Art. 21)
• Withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3))
• Lodge a complaint with your Data Protection Authority (Art. 77)

We also support IAB Europe’s Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) (Vendor ID: 507) and the Global Privacy Platform (GPP).

7. Security and Retention

We retain pseudonymous data for up to 90 days, after which it is deleted or anonymized. We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Data is hosted on AWS Ireland. For more, see AWS Security and Compliance.

II. U.S. State-Specific Rights

If you reside in a U.S. state that has adopted a comprehensive privacy statute—including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Utah, and Virginia, you may have rights under state privacy laws, such as:

• Access or obtain a copy of your personal data
• Correct inaccuracies
• Request deletion (with exceptions)
• Opt-out of targeted advertising or data “sales”
• Appeal decisions regarding your privacy request

You may submit requests to: dpo@adswizz.com

AdsWizz does not sell your data for money but may share identifiers for advertising purposes, which may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some laws. See our Cookie Policy for opt-out tools.

III. Podcast Consent Management Tool for US and Canada (excluding Quebec) Listeners

To support publisher compliance with U.S. privacy laws and to promote user choice, AdsWizz has developed a Podcast Consent Management Tool (“PCM Tool”).

This tool allows listeners in the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec) to:

• Opt out of targeted advertising within supported podcast environments
• Manage preferences in real time (processed within 48 hours of submission and confirmation email once the opt-out is active)
• Make informed choices about the use of pseudonymous data for ad personalization

You may still receive ads, but they may be less tailored to your interests. Your opt-out applies to the specific publisher or podcast platform where the tool is offered and may not affect ads on unrelated properties.

AdsWizz does not use this tool to collect directly identifiable information. Your preferences are stored using pseudonymous identifiers or device-level data, and shared with relevant parties for compliance and ad delivery purposes.

If you have questions or need support, contact us at dpo@adswizz.com.
