OVERVIEW

MadHive, Inc. (“We,” “Madhive,” the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business located at 225 Broadway, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10007 (United States). Madhive offers a fully integrated enterprise software platform for brands, advertisers, agencies, publishers, and technology companies to manage digital advertising campaigns. This Privacy Statement covers data that the Company collects, uses, shares, and retains from our website located at https://www.madhive.com/ (the “Website”), via our advertising platform (the “Platform”) and the services we provide in connection with the Platform (the “Services”). This policy also covers the information we process from customers and prospective customers (collectively, our “Customers”), partners and vendors pursuant to running our business. Our Website is directed at our Customers which are generally businesses.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect two types of personal information via our Website, the Platform, and the Services: Identifiable personal information, and pseudonymous personal information. Identifiable personal information is information that may be used to identify an individual and includes email addresses, telephone numbers or postal addresses. Pseudonymous personal information is information that does not enable us to identify anyone but may help us recognize a particular browser or device over time. Both identifiable personal information and pseudonymous personal information are considered personal data and/or personal information in many places. We believe that maintaining the distinction between what we consider “directly identifiable” and what we consider “pseudonymous” is helpful in describing our privacy practices but recognize that some privacy laws do not distinguish between the two types of data.

  • [.u]Advertiser Customers[.u]: We may receive information, such as IP addresses, directly from our advertiser Customers or their agents. This information is often collected directly from our Customers’ websites, mobile Applications and other digital properties. Often, it is collected with pixels that place our cookies onto a desktop which enables us to find visitors to Customer websites as they visit other websites. Advertiser Customers and their agents may collect this information themselves, which we store as ad targeting profiles and use on their behalf.
  • [.u]Media Supply Sources[.u]: The sources of Bid Request Data and Performance Data/Impression Data are media supply sources, such as publishers (i.e. organizations who operate digital properties) and supply side platforms (organizations who display ads on publisher’s digital properties.some text

Bid requests are sets of information that describe an ad space that is available to be filled. Our Platform is designed to help manage this process in order to help our Customers run their campaigns. We get these requests from the “supply” side of the advertising ecosystem, meaning websites, apps, smart TVs, and others, as well as their agents. We may receive IP addresses and device IDs, as well as information about the advertiser and ad space, through the bid request.
    • Performance Data: We may also receive performance data from publishers regarding the advertisements that are shown on their digital properties. In connection with that performance data, we may receive certain user information, including user agent strings, device IDs, mobile device advertising identifiers, and IP addresses.

We receive certain types of information, such as IP addresses, device IDs, mobile device advertising identifiers, or user agent strings from these cookies or pixels. When we collect information for the purpose of the delivery of personalized ads, it may lead to profiling.
  • [.u]Mobile Software Development Kits (“SDKs”)[.u]: Mobile SDKs contain code that some of our partners place on their mobile apps. This enables our partners to send us data about the mobile app in association with the mobile device ID, including imprecise location data.
