US (CCPA) Privacy Notice

This section provides you with information specific to the United States of Americas in relation to your privacy. It supplements the General notice so as to reflect the requirements set out in the relevant US laws, e.g. the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). 

This US privacy notice also enables you to directly exercise the rights granted to you under the CCPA (see section 4 below).

Information we process, sources and retention period. To perform our Services, we may collect information from our publisher, advertiser and data partners, as described in detail in the section 4 of our General notice. 

Sale of Personal Information. Teads uses data for its business to serve clients and combines such data with other information to help enhance its products and services. Such use may be considered a “sale” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). As Teads uses and combines data it receives with other information to help enhance its products and services, Teads considers itself a third party for CCPA purposes. Advertisers (and their intermediaries) and publishers that work with Teads should include a “Do Not Sell” link on their website(s) to comply with the CCPA as interpreted by the California Attorney General.

Children’s Privacy. Our Services are not directed to children under the age of sixteen (16) in the United States or children under the age of legal majority in jurisdictions outside the United States, nor do we market products or services to such children. 

4.1 Choices for Access, Deletion, Opt-Out of Sale, and Right to Non-Discrimination for California.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, disclose, and “sell” about you (as that term is used in the CCPA). Additionally, you have the right to access, delete and opt-out from the “sale” of your personal information.

• How to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information: We offer an opt-out from the use of cookies and other tracking technologies in connection with our Services, which may in some cases constitute the sale of your personal information under the CCPA or other privacy laws.  To opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please click Do Not Sell My Personal Information or follow the browser setting instructions below.

4.2 Anti-Discrimination Right

You have the right to be free from discrimination in product quality, goods or services if you choose to exercise your privacy rights under the CCPA. 

4.3 Do Not Track Signals

Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. At this time, we stop running targeted advertising when we receive a “do not track” signal. For information about Do Not Track, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.
