Privacy Policy: Rev. May 10, 2018
Effective as of May 10, 2018
This privacy policy applies to www.conviva.com (the “Site”) and our services accessed through the Site, which are all owned and operated by Conviva Inc. (“Conviva”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”). This policy tells you about our practices and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information we receive through our website, or through services provided to our business customers (media companies, broadcasters and operators of online video sites) (“Customers”). The policy explains how we use that personal information in order to provide our Customers with data analytics regarding the quality of video engagement by their end-users (the “Services”) and, if you are using the Services, how we use information when you access our Services through our user interface or otherwise. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information. To learn more about how our Customers use the information provided through our Services and the choices and requests you can make about your information, please refer to our Customers’ privacy policies.
If we make material changes in the way we use personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our website or sending you an email to the email address you provided when you submitted your personal information on the site prior to the change becoming effective. Users are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when they use the website after such changes have been first posted.
Conviva Inc. is the data controller of all personal information collected through the Site and of certain personal information collected as part of the Services provided to our Customers. Conviva Ltd. is Conviva’s EU-based representative and represents Conviva with regard to Conviva’s data protection obligations under this privacy policy.
1. WHAT IS AND ISN’T PERSONAL INFORMATION?
“Personal information” is information from which you can be personally identified. This includes your name, email address, location, job title and company or employer, your user ID and password when you access the Services, and other information you tell us about yourself if such information is tied to other information that identifies you. In the European Union, personal information also includes other information that identifies you, including your subscriber ID and your IP address.
Personal information does not include “anonymous information”, which is data collected as part of the Services from which we cannot identify an individual or from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed. It may include information that has been aggregated.
2. INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
Information Collected by Conviva
Conviva collects personal information when you use the Site, including IP address, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages (where you go from our Site), date/time stamp, clickstream data (how you came to our Site) as well as your browser and operating system types.
As part of the Services provided to Customers, Conviva also automatically computes and records anonymous information from the Conviva-enabled media player on your computer, cellphone, tablet or other mobile device, such as internet service provider (ISP), information about content being viewed on the Customer’s platform, viewing device type, service quality and statistics, non-specific geolocation information browser and operating system types. Customers may also decide to provide other personal information, such as viewer ID numbers, unique device identifiers and specific geolocation information. Conviva cannot identify individuals using this information.
We store the information described above in log files and provide this to our Customers.
Information collected for administrative and contact purposes
Conviva may keep a record of your contact information if you have contacted us via our Site. Conviva may require our Customers to provide certain personal information of their employees when they become Conviva’s Customers, so we may have received your personal information directly from your employer, if they are a Conviva Customer. If you wish to contact our site or file a support request, we will collect personal information such as your first and last name, email address and phone number.
