Introduction
This is Real Time Local Advertising’s* privacy policy and applies to our websites, and any services that we provide to you through our website (including the Real Time Local Advertising DSP, and the Real Time Local Advertising Ad Server). It is effective as of September 15, 2014 (“Effective Date“).
This policy is incorporated into, and subject to, Real Time Local Advertising’s Terms of Service.
By using the Real Time Local Advertising site, or any product or service offered by Real Time Local Advertising, (collectively, the ‘Services”), you acknowledge that you have read, and agree to, this policy.
What Information does Real Time Local Advertising collect, and how does it use it?
Registration
In order to use the Services, you must first complete the registration form, and choose a password. During registration, you must provide contact information, such as your name, phone number, company name and website. We use this information to create your account, and to contact you in regards to the Services.
Orders
If you wish to fund your account, you must provide your address and financial information (e.g. credit card number; expiry date; etc). We use this information for billing purposes, and to process your order. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use the information we collected to contact you.
Surveys or Contests
From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, and to process and analyze survey results.
We use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company is prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Other Sources
We collect usage data about you whenever you interact with our Services. This may include which of our pages you visit, what you click on, when you performed those actions, and so on. Additionally, like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses.
We collect data from the device and application you use to access our services, such as your IP address and browser type. We may also infer your geographic location based on your IP address.
If you arrive at our website from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us.
We use third party tracking services that employ cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect aggregated and anonymized data about visitors to our websites. This data includes usage and user statistics, but not personally identifiable information.
Uses of Information
In addition to the above-noted reasons, we use the information we collect to provide you with the Services. This includes providing you with customer support, which requires us to access your information to assist you (such as with campaign creation or technical troubleshooting).
We also use your information for the following purposes:
What communications can I expect from Real Time Local Advertising?
Special Offers and Updates
We will occasionally send you information on products, services, special deals, and promotions (if you opt-in on our registration page). If you no longer wish to receive this type of communication, you can opt-out through the link in the email communication.
Newsletters
Real Time Local Advertising publishes a number of newsletters (including the RTB Zeitgeist). If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. If you no longer wish to receive this type of communication, you can opt-out through the link in the email communication.
Service-related Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is undergoing temporary maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password, as well as a number of on-boarding emails intended to familiarize you with Real Time Local Advertising. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you through our ticketing system, via email, and by phone.
Supplementation of Information
In order to provide certain services to you, we may supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources, including in respect of credit worthiness and verification of any information provided.
Does Real Time Local Advertising share my information?
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregate information about our users for marketing purposes. We also share aggregate information with third party providers, in order to provide the services (as noted above).
We do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.
Personally identifiable information
We share personally identifiable information (PII) with certain third parties, in order to provide you with the Services. For example, we use a credit card processing company to bill you for the Services, and share PII with them in order to do so. They do not retain, share, store or use PII for any other purpose. In certain instances, we may share PII with our suppliers (data and inventory exchanges). Finally, we share PII with our parent company and subsidiaries, for record-keeping purposes, billing purposes, and for general business purposes.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your PII as required by law, and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with any applicable judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

Cookies cannot view or retrieve data from other cookies, nor can they capture files or data stored on your computer. We do not link the information that we store in cookies to any PII that you submit while on our site.

In order to opt-out you must have cookies enabled: In order for the opt-out process to work correctly on your computer, the browser must be set to accept third party cookies. If you use a different computer, change web browsers or delete this cookie, you will need to opt-out again.
Does Real Time Local Advertising use web beacons (aka clear GIFs or web bugs)?
Yes. “Web beacons” are small images (generally a single transparent pixel) with a unique identifier, served to you as part of a web page or other document. Web beacons may be used in parts of our Services for purposes such as site traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising auditing and reporting, and personalization. In certain instances, we may tie the information gathered by web beacons to PII.
Through our partners, we use web beacons in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
