Privacy Policy

 

YOOSE is a Singapore based company, serving clients all over the world, including the European Union. As such, we are bound by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a ​Data Processor and as a ​Data Controller. Even without the new regulation, which goes into effect on May 25th, 2018, YOOSE takes your privacy, and the integrity of your data seriously.

Here are some key changes that YOOSE has made to become more secure:

  1. We have already been tightening our systems and safeguarding our data, through the enforcement of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and HTTPS (Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol, for encrypted web pages) across all of our websites, databases, and internal systems.
  2. We have migrated our Dashboard AWS server instance to a location in Frankfurt, Germany.
  3. We have worked to limit avenues of access to our data, through consolidation of systems. The logic is: the less
    spread out our data is, the more control we have, and the less opportunities a breach can occur.
  4. We have implemented a ​request to delete feature on our platform that will allow owners of the data we hold to
    instruct us to remove it from our servers.
  5. We have made our data retention policy more transparent (see ‘Data Retention Policy’ below.)
  6. We have researched the compliance of our suppliers, ensuring that we only work with companies that are serious about GDPR. To request documentation of a supplier’s compliance, please ​contact us at info@yoose.com.

GDPR defines managers of personal data into two groups: ​Data Processor​, and ​Data Controller​. What is the difference?

Article 4 of GDPR defines data controllers and data processors as below:

(7) ‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

(8) ‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

YOOSE, in the relationship with our clients, is a ​Data Processor, we process advertising data on behalf of our client, designated as a ​Data Controller​.

YOOSE, in the relationship with our suppliers, is a ​Data Controller​, our suppliers, who process data on our behalf, are Data Processors.

 

1. What Personal Data does YOOSE collect and store?

Advertising Data

This data is used to target users on specific types of mobiles advertising campaigns, called ‘retargeting campaigns’. In these cases, YOOSE may collect Advertising IDs, or Device IDs, and Cookies. These identify the user of a mobile device, and allow advertisers to track a user’s interactions with ads, for the purpose of targeting them with more personalised campaigns.

YOOSE will also append meta data: IP addresses, GPS coordinates, gender, sex, and other contextual information, as well as click and impression data as the users interact with ads. ​YOOSE does not and cannot collect the name, email, home address, identification numbers, or any directly identifiable information of these device owners.

Contractual Data

YOOSE collects name, address, phone, email, and bank data on its customers and suppliers for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations.

  • Any customer who requests advertising from us may specify and authorise the retention period of their choice in

We transparently disclose how we handle our client’s ​Contractual Data on each Insertion Order. When the client signs this order, they give us this consent.

YOOSE and its suppliers screen these publishers for compliance.
