This Privacy Notice describes the types of information collected through the IPG Mediabrands (“we, our or us”) website (at ipglab.com) (“Site”) and through the advertising services provided by its division Mediabrands Data & Technology (“MBD&T”). This Notice also describes how such information is used, shared with others, retained and protected, and how individuals can contact us about our privacy practices and to exercise their rights.

Information Collection and Use

Personal Information You Provide to Us through our Site

We may collect and store personal information that you choose to voluntarily provide to us when you email us by clicking our email address hyperlinks on our Site. We use the information you provide to respond to your request or question.

Information We Collect by Automated Means

Through the Services offered by MBD&T: MBD&T provides specialized analytics services and tools that help make online advertising more relevant and for ad delivery and reporting services, such as audience discovery, measurement and activation abilities, campaign performance analytics and the creation and review of digital audience data, social media insights and audience insights. In providing its services, MBD&T receives pseudonymized personal information of consumers. Pseudonymized data is information from which identifying characteristics have been replaced with a pseudonym (a value that does not allow the individual to be identified directly).

MBD&T licenses pseudonymized demographic and behavioral information from third parties (e.g., data sellers) to assist clients serve online advertisements to their existing customers or to consumers who have particular demographic or behavioral characteristics similar to existing client customers. Such third parties are responsible for determining the legal basis for their processing if required by applicable law. This demographic and behavioral data is sent to a third party service provider who hosts the data on behalf of MBD&T, and who matches the data with personal information sent by clients about their customers to the third party host. The third party host sends randomly generated unique identifiers corresponding to match consumers to MBD&T (“MBD&T IDs”), together with some contextual information. For example, grouping the MBD&T IDs into existing owners of a client product and those who are not.

MBD&T matches the MBD&T IDs against pseudonymized demographic and behavioral data to evaluate and build audience segments and create a refined set of MBD&T IDs. These audience segments will be used to deliver relevant advertising tailored to Consumers’ interests, making recommendations and analyzing users. MBD&T then sends the refined MBD&T IDs to the third party host who converts the refined MBD&Ts to identifiers that it sends to technology partners (such as advertisement distributors, media companies, advertising agencies and advertising sponsors) to serve online advertisements.

MBD&T also receives pseudonymized personal information relating to consumers from business partners (e.g., ad servers and demand side platforms) to enable MBD&T understand consumers’ engagement with an online advertisement (if they viewed it or clicked on it) or other relevant interactions (e.g., products purchased), to help measure and report on the digital campaigns run by clients.
