The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) requires us to have a valid and lawful legal basis for processing personal data. We rely on the following legal basis:

Consent: We may rely on your consent for us to use your personal information. When we rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing, we require you to consent to the collection and use of your personal data by us.

Our legitimate interests would include to run, grow, develop and deliver our website and services, enhance the security of information systems, and enhance, modify, or otherwise improve our services and communications (GDPR Article 6.1(f)).

Our role in processing Ad Data

Depending on the way we collect Ad Data, SilverMob will operate as an independent data controller or a data processor following Publisher’s instructions and directions, not having in any case direct relationship with the End Users whose information SilverMob will process.

How we use Ad Data

We may use Ad Data for the following purposes: 

All of the purposes mentioned in this section may collectively be referred to as “Permitted Purposes”.

How we share your information

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions:

Ways to Collect Information

SilverMob has developed different technological tracking tools to collect information from End User device, such as: 

Consent Control

SilverMob relies on SDKs of our partners and our own for consent management. We have implemented a Consent Management Platform in our own SDK that allows us to read and transmit information about the category or list of vendors and for which purposes an end user has consented to share personal data.

SilverMob will follow IAB standards and Consent Management Platform is compliant with IAB requirements in our own SDK in order to allow SilverMob to read and transmit information concerning for which purposes the end user has consented to.

Online Behavioral Advertising

We use third parties who collect data about their apps' and sites' visitors through their own cookies, web beacons, and other technologies regarding your online activities, in an effort to understand your interests and deliver you advertisements that are tailored to your interests.
These third parties include Publishers, Advertisers and ad networks that may collect information about when you view or interact with one of their advertisements and may collect information regarding your online activities over time and across different apps and websites.

Like most Advertisers, we place advertisements where we think they will be most relevant to the recipient. When an End User visits a third-party website or app on which that network advertising company has purchased ad space, the advertising company can then recognize the individual's interest and deliver one of our advertisements. 

End User choice and Opt-Out.

Ads delivered through SilverMob SDK will allow End Users to out-put with a mechanism that permits End Users to set their preferences.

If you wish to opt-out from SilverMob, you can contact us by writing to our email contact@silvermob.com

Data Retention and Access to Information

We may retain personally identifiable information we process on behalf of our Clients for  a period of up to twelve (12) months unless otherwise required by law or applicable contract. After this period, SilverMob may retain and use such data in an aggregated format, as necessary for internal analytical purposes, to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. We may adopt shorter retention periods if so directed by our Clients.

When we get requests of ads from advertising partners including user information we store it for a period of 3 months for the sole purpose of being able to resolve any claims with publishers or advertisers.

Please note that in most of the cases we have no direct relationship with the End Users. An End User who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information should direct his query to the relevant Publisher. If an End User requests us to remove any personally identifiable information relating to him or her, we will respond to their request within a reasonable timeframe.

Security

SilverMob has implemented reasonable security measures in order to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to information will not occur; we make good faith efforts to prevent such occurrences. We do not warrant or represent that your account or any of your information will be protected against, loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.

International transfers

We may transfer the information we collect about you to countries other than the country where we originally collected it for the purposes of storage and processing of information and operating our services. Those countries may not have the same information protection laws as your country. However, when we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy and take steps, where necessary, to ensure that international transfers comply with applicable laws. We ensure it is protected by making sure at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

Children’s Personal Information

SilverMob does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information (including persistent device identifiers) relating to children under the age of 13. In addition, we require our Publishers to certify to us that their services (such as their mobile apps) are not primarily directed to appeal to children under the age of 13, and to avoid sharing with us any personally identifiable information relating to children under the age of 13.

Please note that while we strive hard to ensure that our policies are respected, we cannot be held responsible for the practices of our Publishers. Our publishers are responsible to ensure that their privacy practices comply with applicable privacy laws and requirements.

If you have knowledge of any incident in which we may be collecting personally identifiable information relating to children under the age of 13, or that our SDK is included in any service (such as a mobile app) that is directed to or aimed to appeal to audience under the age of 13, please let us know immediately by contacting us at: contact@silvermob.com, and we will remove their personally identifiable information from our servers without delay.

  5. The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

  6. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
  7. The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
  8. The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
  9. Rights not to be subject to automated decision-making and profiling. 

For more information about your rights and how you can exercise them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.

If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority. We would, however, welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves. That is why we encourage you to contact us first, using the contact details indicated in this Privacy Policy.

Data Subject Access Requests

GDPR allows data subjects to request an access to their personal information held by data controllers. If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and request a copy of it. This is known as a “data subject access request”, or DSAR.

You can exercise your right to access your personal data by contacting us through any means. Nevertheless, we would welcome any data subject access requests in writing and sent to us via email address set out in this Privacy Policy. There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 15 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

Changes to Our Privacy Practices

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our privacy practices, from time to time, at our sole discretion. If we make any material changes we will post such amendment on our website, prior to the change becoming effective; material changes will become effective seven (7) days as of the date we posted the notice on our website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices (the last change will be reflected in the "last updated" date above).
