II. How personal data is used for the Adloox SOLUTION

The Adloox Solution serves both advertisers and online media sellers and buyers by providing independent, third-party verification measurement. 

Adloox’s clients are companies that run online advertising campaigns and are using the Adloox Solution in order to increase protection from ad fraud, non-viewable impressions and non-brand safe content, or to measure the quality of their advertising (for example to better understand how their campaigns have been interacted with or where a certain campaign has featured on a website) ("Clients").

By analyzing information about ad impression delivery and website traffic on behalf of our Clients, Adloox verifies whether the media where an ad was placed has met or failed Client expectations based on certain characteristics. Such characteristics include the brand safety of a webpage, the viewability of the ad placement, the existence of ad fraud, as well as additional contextual variables. 

Measurement is available across both browser and app environments for mobile and desktop devices. Adloox collects this data to increase trust and transparency for its Clients. The data collected can be used by Clients to proactively prevent advertising on undesirable and/or low-quality media, monitor overall quality performance, and make future media planning decisions. Adloox does not combine the collected data with any other data that would enable Adloox to personally identify individuals.

The Adloox Solution provides Adloox clients with reports containing only statistical information relating to such client’s advertising campaign performance. Such statistical information is aggregated, hashed and anonymised following a robust process preventing any and all identification of individuals before being provided to Adloox clients. Adloox therefore only processes personal data in connection with the Adloox Solution (see further below) for the short period of time required to apply such aggregation, hashing and anonymisation techniques.  

Data Collected. In order to provide the Adloox Solution to our Clients, we use JavaScript and other similar technologies that place a small piece of HTML code on a webpage or app to collect information.

The following categories of data (which may contain personal data) are collected when these technologies are deployed via the Adloox Solution:

  • Browser and computer environmental information. This information is necessary to determine the viewability of an advertisement, which includes information such as the ad’s location in the browser viewport, size of the browser viewport, ad size, size of the display, application in focus, the browser tab in focus, and other data.

  • Standard HTTP header information. This includes IP address, referring URL, user agent data (data transmitted by your browser about itself when submitting an HTTP request) and other data including browser configuration parameters, including browser type and language and session storage and local storage settings, and characteristics of your device such as the CPU class and time zone setting.

  • Information contained within an advertisement. This is known as an “ad tag,” that includes information used to identify the advertiser displaying the ad and the media property that sold the impression.

  • Mobile application and mobile device data. Examples include users’ App Identifier).


For the purpose of identifying and preventing online ad impression fraud and invalid traffic and determining if advertisers and publishers are in compliance with their agreements, our Adloox Solutions utilize the following additional technologies (in addition to the data described above):

  • Device identification technology, which analyzes device parameters collected as described above, including IP address and browser header information, to probabilistically identify a particular device.

  • Clickstream data including URLs and other data regarding the websites on which a particular browser has viewed advertising impressions we are analyzing.

  • Clickstream data including mobile application identifier and other data regarding the mobile apps on which a particular user has viewed advertising impressions.

  • Webpage (HTML and JavaScript) structure analysis.

Purpose of Collection and Use. 

We use the data we collect to deliver our Adloox Solution for our Client’s lawful purposes, which may include:

  • Examining impression data of advertising opportunities, using Adloox technology and client profile decisions, to determine if clients’ advertisements should or should not be displayed.

  • Detailing contextual information about advertisements displayed in order to ensure its compliance with terms of our client or partner’s contracts, insertion orders that detail client campaigns, and/or profile decisions that clients make in our systems.

  • Reporting viewability metrics of advertisements that indicate: qualified « Viewed Impressions » according to industry standards and/or clients’ criteria, time in which advertisements are displayed on consumers’ browsers, and properties of creative elements that are displayed on consumers’ browsers.

  • Website and mobile apps visitation characteristics such as visitor quality, fraud identification, invalid traffic detection, and other quality characteristics necessary to determine agreement compliance.

  • Our Adloox Solutions includes the detection and elimination of general invalid and sophisticated invalid traffic, including ad impression fraud, which we define in this policy as the management of ad serving, ad display, or traffic activity such that ad impression measurements are shown inappropriately because the ads cannot be viewed by a user, are not served within operationally viewable parameters or were displayed as a result of fraudulent machine-generated traffic. Our fraud and invalid traffic services are intended to address fraud for advertising measurement purposes.


Additionally, Adloox can use advertising impression information, mobile app information, and website traffic information including IP address and browser header information to:

  • Identify traffic sources by their geographic location and determine if the location is correct and located within the advertiser’s campaign parameters or traffic settings

  • Determine if traffic is being acquired is fraudulent, or if traffic acquisition practices that are out of compliance with an advertiser’s guidelines or contractual requirements.

  • Determine if a middleware is attempting to misrepresent its operating characteristics to prevent the identification of fraud or other invalid traffic.

  • Determine if traffic or ad impressions are originating from a server farm unlikely to be responsible for human-generated browsing activity.


Data Retention

Our clients’ main use of the Adloox Solution is to obtain statistical information relating to the broadcasting of such clients’ advertising campaigns. As such, we aggregate, hash and anonymise any personal data following a robust process preventing any and all identification of web users before storing such data in our servers, and the reporting data sent to clients does not contain any personal data.  

We retain our clients reporting aggregated data (at campaign level) 24 months.

We retain raw data anonymized events 13 months (MRC minimum standards guidelines).


III. CONSUMER CONTROL AND Mobile device tracking opt-out.
