    About Cordless Media’s Products and Services

    Cordless Media does not provide products or services directly to consumers. Instead, Cordless Media has products and services that help businesses – marketers, advertising agencies and publishers – engage in interest-based advertising. Interest based advertising is the practice of delivering relevant content and advertising to people based on their interests, activities, and behaviors. Note that when providing interest-based advertising services to its clients, Cordless Media does not use information that we deem to be personal information, which is information that identifies you as a specific person (such as your name, address, email address, or phone number), but we may use de-identified personal information as further described below.

    Cordless Media has the following products and services, which are collectively our “Services”:

    1. Online Advertising Products and Services. Some of Cordless Media’s services allow Cordless Media clients to reach the right online audiences for their products and services. To provide these services, Cordless Media licenses online data from third party data providers (including website owners, app owners, data aggregators, and SmartTV manufacturers) and makes this data available to its clients. This data is called “Third Party Data”. Cordless Media’s clients use this Third Party Data to create data segments associated with certain interests, behaviors, and attributes (for example, an interest in travel or an interest in sports). These data segments are associated with cookies and advertising identifiers, so that clients can send relevant advertisements to consumers on their computers, phones, and other mobile devices.
    2. SaaS Products and Services. Cordless Media has software as a service products, including the Mobi.One platform, that Cordless Media licenses to clients. These products assist those clients in collecting and organizing information about their customers from their own sources – including client websites, mobile applications, advertising campaigns, CRM systems, and data partners – and then using this information for digital advertising purposes. Cordless Media provides the tools that facilitate our clients’ collection and export of this data (called, “First Party Data”) and Cordless Media acts as a service provider in processing this data at the direction of those clients.
    3. Marketing Technology Services. Cordless Media has additional products and services that help clients use data to deliver personalized content and advertising to users both online, via computers, phones, and other mobile devices, and offline, via more traditional marketing methods. For example, Cordless Media helps clients to bring data that was collected offline into the online space, where it can be used for digital advertising purposes; and Cordless Media helps clients to identify relationships across computers, phones and other mobile devices, so that a user can benefit from targeted advertising across multiple devices.

    Data Collection and Use

    Cordless Media collects information directly. Cordless Media also collects and receives information on behalf of its clients and receives information from third parties for use in its Services. Cordless Media collects information via many methods, including cookies, pixel tags, SDKs (software development kits), secure file transfers, and server to server connections.

    Information Collected by Cordless Media

    The following information is collected and used by Cordless Media to provide its Services:

    Demographic Information, such as:

    • Age
    • Gender
    • Income Range

    Online Behavioral Information

    Cordless Media collects information on your online browsing activity to determine what types of activities and products you may be interested in and how you interact with certain content and advertisements. This information includes:

    • Inferred behavioral data
    • Websites and content viewed
    • Mobile applications used
    • Date and time of visits to a website
    • Search terms used on a website
    • Frequency of visits to a website
    • Engagement with an advertisement

    Technical Identifiers

    These can be used to identify your device and typically include:

    • Cookies
    • Mobile advertising identifiers (Apple IDFA and Google AAID)
    • IP address
    • Non-personal data inferred from an IP address, such as non-precise geo-location data

    Client and Partner IDs

    Clients and partners may provide Cordless Media with proprietary IDs, which are IDs that identify a customer or consumer to the client or partner. These client and partner IDs may correspond to personal information of the client or partner but Cordless Media does not see the personal information connected with these IDs.

    Personally Identifiable Information That Has Been De-Identified

    Cordless Media may use personal information that has been de-identified, typically by using a mathematical process (commonly known as a hash function) to convert information into a code. We use that de-identified data to provide our services (including to connect your activity and interests). We may provide the hashing service to our clients. In such instances, we will delete or destroy the original, personal information after the hashing process has been completed, retaining only the de-identified data. We do not use the non-hashed personal information for any purpose other than to create the hashed version of the data on behalf of our client.

    Use of Information Collected by Cordless Media

    Cordless Media analyzes the information it collects and receives, and organizes it into user groups and audiences, based on factors such as age, gender, geography, interests and online actions. Our clients and partners then use the Cordless Media-created user groups and audiences, along with information about the possible relationships among different browsers and devices, to design and deliver customized advertising campaigns or other relevant content to users on their computers, phones, and other mobile devices. Clients have the ability to combine this Third-Party Data with their own First Party Data when using Cordless Media’s SaaS and Marketing Technology Services. Our clients and partners may also analyze and organize the underlying data to create custom user groups and audiences.

    Cordless Media uses the information it collects and receives to:

    • Identify relationships between different browsers and devices
    • Analyze the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns
    • Provide aggregated information about user interests
    • Attribute user interests to browsers and devices
    • Test the accuracy of certain products, including cross-device matching
    • Determine the overlap in First Party and Third Party data sets
    • Create pre-packaged audience segments

    Cordless Media clients generally use First Party Data, along with Third Party Data provided by Cordless Media, to:

    • Deliver targeted advertising campaigns to users across devices
    • Serve targeted content to users across devices
    • Improve the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns
    • Create data-driven marketing products, including models

    At the request of clients, Cordless Media also shares First and Third Party Data with other companies that are responsible for the actual display and targeting of online advertising – including demand side platforms, advertising networks, advertising exchanges, and social media networks.

    Cordless Media does not create or share audience segments through its Online Advertising Products and Services that are classified by the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) as Sensitive Information (as defined in the NAI Code of Conduct).

When we transfer your information to the U.S., we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy.

    Cordless Media complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework Principles (the “Privacy Shield Principles”).  Cordless Media has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the collection, use and transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area to the U.S.  When Cordless Media discloses personal data to third parties, after the transition period allowed by the Privacy Shield Framework, it will do so only when those third parties have provided contractual assurances that they are committed to processing personal data in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles.

    Cordless Media’s commitment to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework covers personal information about residents of all nations in the European Economic Area (EEA), which comprises the European Union (currently including the United Kingdom), Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway (collectively, “EEA residents”).  The program also will be extended to personal information from Switzerland if and when that country adopts the necessary decision to do so.
