Our staff has been trained in privacy matters and responsibly handling personal data and information to which they gain access.
Please be aware that should you contact us via email, the confidentiality of the information therein may not be ensured. Third persons may have access to the contents of emails.
For Apptribute to execute its business processes in a convenient and optimal manner, it may be necessary for certain data to be processed by trusted third parties and reliable partners. These third parties may:
- Process payments
- Fulfill orders
- Send emails
- Manage communications (e.g., newsletters, security notifications, chat, etc.)
- Host websites
- Conduct other related activities
on behalf of Apptribute . However, Apptribute only shares data that is needed to serve the specific purpose for which the third parties are engaged. Apptribute ensures that these third parties are under similar obligations to maintain privacy and confidentiality as Apptribute’s own employees and that they will handle your information in the way and to the extent Apptribute is permitted to. Apptribute does not allow any third party to use your information for any purposes for which the information was not collected.
Apptribute will only disclose your personally identifiable information (PII) outside the country you live in if it is necessary for the intended purpose of processing. However, as a member of the worldwide Apptribute group of companies, each local Apptribute entity may maintain or perform data processing operations in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or in countries without an adequate level of data protection if doing so is required for the fulfillment of our obligations or the underlying contract with you. Furthermore, subcontractors of Apptribute, which Apptribute engages to act on its behalf concerning the processing of your PII, may be domiciled in such areas.
To secure the transfer and processing of PII under chapter 5 of GDPR, Apptribute has implemented and requested the required technical and organizational measures and has entered into the appropriate contractual frameworks with Apptribute and subcontractors, which ensure that the data recipient has implemented an adequate level of data privacy in its organization as required by GDPR. This includes the signing of Data Processing Agreements and European Union standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission. These precautions are appropriate safeguards as stipulated by Article 46 GDPR and local data protection laws in effect, ensuring that your information will be treated securely, confidentially, and under the applicable data protection laws.
If Apptribute is acquired by or merges with a third party, we reserve the right, in either of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from you as part of such a merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your information is treated, transferred, or used.
7. Transfer to Third Countries
Data is transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area. We only transfer personal data to third countries where the EU Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we can ensure the careful handling of personal data by employing contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees, such as certifications or proven compliance with international security standards.
8. User Rights
You have the following rights concerning our processing of your personal data:
· The right to access
· The right to rectification
· The right to erasure
· The right to restrict processing
· The right to data portability
· The right to object (on grounds related to your particular situation) if your personal data is processed based on our legitimate interest
· The right to withdraw your consent at any time in the event of any consent-based processing of your personal data without affecting the lawfulness of processing said data based on consent before your withdrawal
· The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
You may exercise your legal rights by contacting us via email at partner@apptributeads.com.
If you are registered as a publisher or an advertiser on our website, you may access your account and correct or delete some of your data by yourself.
While observing applicable privacy legislation, we will erase your data without any action required by you if retention of your data is no longer necessary for the purpose pursued or retention is no longer allowed for any legal reason. We may restrict processing instead of erasing your data where it is legally not allowed to erase (e.g., legal obligations to maintain your personal data).
