Purpose

This Yieldify data collection policy sets out the type of data Yieldify may collect in the provision of its Services to Customer, how it processes such data and the purposes and duration of such processing. Capitalised terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the agreement between Yieldify and Customer which references this policy (“Agreement”):

1. Type of data we collect

As part of Yieldify’s service we may collect the following information about end users:

  • Technical data such as:

    • IP address

    • device identification information (such as user agent, MAC address, IMEI, and device time)

    • name

    • email address

    • telephone number

    • address

    • additional fields as defined by Customer

    • Website browsing activity information such as:

      • pages viewed on the website

      • referring URL

      • time spent on pages

    • Transactional information such as:

    • Error logs.

  • Content information

    • Content and settings information about the campaigns to which the user has been exposed (impressions) as well as the variant they have seen in the case of A/B tests.

2. How we collect it

Part of the integration process between Yieldify and the Customer is the placement of a Javascript tag (either by the Customer or Yieldify) in the header on every page of the Customer’s website. The Javascript tag can be installed in a Tag Manager such as Google Tag Manager, or directly on the Customer’s site.

Once the Javascript tag is installed and activated it will collect personal data from users of the Customer’s website, place cookies to uniquely identify users, and send this data to Yieldify’s data collection servers as HTTPs requests.

3. Why we process the data

  • Yieldify processes the data for the purposes of providing Services to Customers.

  • Anonymised/de-identified personal data is processed by Yieldify for the purposes of improving the Services and benchmarking activities.

4. How the data is processed

Yieldify processes the data in various ways depending on the specific and desired functionality of the Services purchased by the Customer. Some use cases are as follows:

  • Aggregation for the purpose of campaign performance metric reporting

  • Event deduplication attribution for the purpose of generating A/B Testing Results

  • Filtering and presentation of lists of email addresses (lead generation)

  • Aggregation of pageviews in real time for the purpose of social proof campaigns

  • Data is sent via Connector Engine (subcontractor) to Email Service Providers (ESPs) so that the Customer can utilise its existing ESPs

  • Data events are sent to the Customer’s Google Analytics so that the Customer can visualise end user interaction data within their existing analytics tool.

5. Where is the data processed

  • The data is processed both inside and outside the European Economic Area

  • The Customer's data will not be processed outside the European Economic Area unless one of the adequate safeguards outlined under the Applicable Data Protection Laws have been ensured in relation to such data transfer

6. Storage duration of the data

  • We process the personal data of the Customer for the Term of the Agreement and for the period of 90 days thereafter at which point the Customer data is anonymised or aggregated.

  • The anonymised / aggregated data is kept indefinitely.

7. List of sub-processors current as at date of this policy
