Privacy Policy
SUPERADS INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and its affiliate companies (“we”, “us”, “our” or “SUPERADS”) respect your privacy. This privacy policy explains who we are, how we collect, use and share personal information through SUPERADS Services and our corporate website www.superads.cn, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
1. INTRODUCTION
SUPERADS is an ad network providing a technology platform (“Platform”) for Clients who want to advertise and/or monetize their applications, games, and other products. Our “Clients” include “Advertisers” that wish to distribute ad content through the SUPERADS Platform, and “Publishers” of applications and/or websites that want to display relevant ads to end users (“End Users”) of third party applications (“apps”) and/or websites that use our Software Development Kit (“SDK”), Application Programming Interface (“API”), hosted video advertising platform and/or any of our related advertising tools (collectively, the “SUPERADS Services”).
2. PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE SUPERADS SERVICES
This Section describes how SUPERADS collects and uses information we receive form End Users (“you” or “your”) of apps and/or websites that use the SUPERADS Services.
2.1 Information We Collect
When you visit an app or website that uses SUPERADS Technology, we may collect certain device information including the following: The SUPERADS SDK version; IP Address; the Google Advertising ID on Android devices (“GAID”); ID For Advertising (“IDFA”); International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI); Device make and model; Device properties related to screen size & orientation, audio volume and battery, device memory usage; Time zone and timestamp; Network connection type and speed; the name and version of the app to which the ad is served; Limit ad tracking status; Operating system name and version; Timestamp; The name of the manufacturer of the device; The language of the operating system; The name of the mobile carrier; Internet browser user-agent used to access the Service; An indication if you viewed or clicked on an ad.
Some of this information (including for example, your IP address and certain unique identifiers), may identify a particular device and may be “personal data” in some jurisdictions. Note, however, that SUPERADS Services do not collect any information that that enables us to identify End Users personally (such as your name, address, or email address).
We may also combine, merge, and/or enhance the information we collect about your device, including the personal data, with information we may collect about your interactions with other Publisher Client's Apps and ads served through SUPERADS's Platform, or with information collected from our Clients and third parties (such as data providers). This may include, for example, mobile device IDs, demographic or interest data, and content viewed or actions taken on an app to help make the ads served to you more relevant while limiting your exposure to less relevant ads. We (or our third party partners) may also use this additional information to undertake “user matching”, which means that in addition to the ID an End User has been assigned in our system, we may also receive a list of unique IDs our external partners or Clients have assigned to an End User.
2.2 How We Collect Your Information
Depending on the nature of your interaction with the SUPERADS Services, or any service provided by SUPERADS's Clients, we may collect information directly from such User or from our business partners (e.g. mobile application developers, Ad Exchange platforms, and advertisers).
We may collect User's Information while Users: (i) view ads served by the SUPERADS Services;(ii) interact with the SUPERADS Services; or (iii) interact with platforms, applications, websites or other services provided by SUPERADS's business partners (e.g. app publisher, advertiser).
We collect information as described in this privacy policy for SUPERADS's own purposes, as a data controller under data protection law where relevant, except ads otherwise indicated herein.
2.3 How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect (sometimes in combination with information provided and sourced by independent validation partners) for a variety of business purposes. For example, we use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
Serving Ads – We use the Information collected from your device to serve ads on app developers’ apps, and technically enable the delivering of ads to your device.
Reporting, billing and attribution – We use your Information to generate reports for our publishers and bill advertisers and publishers, including for ensuring that if you interacted with our ads, we will receive payment for our service.
Internal Operations – We use your Information for internal operations, such as debugging, support, security, and improving our services.
Fraud detection and prevention – We use your Information for detecting and preventing fraud, and for ensuring viewability of our ads.
Optimization and frequency capping – We use your Information for optimizing advertising campaigns, including for limiting the number of times you view a specific campaign across our network, or the number of ads you view in a specific app.
Personalized advertising – Our corporate affiliates and advertisers may use your Information for personalized advertising (i.e. ads that are based on your interest or profile).
Optimizing advertising campaigns – We optimize campaigns for our advertisers based, for example, on events that happen in their app or indications of installs received from other apps.
Suppression – We use Advertising IDs of users of an advertiser's app in order not to serve advertising campaigns of such advertiser to such users, as they already have the advertiser's app.
Whitelisting/blacklisting – We allow advertisers to upload lists of device IDs to include/exclude in their advertising campaigns.
2.4 How do We Use Tracking Technologies to Collect Information
We use standard tracking technologies to collect information automatically from your device so that our backend operations can use it to perform many of the functions described in Section 2.3 above. To opt out of our use of such technologies, please follow the instructions for opting out in the apps, as described in Section 2.5 below.
2.5 Your Opt-Out Choices
You can opt out of having your information being used by SUPERADS for performance-based advertising by accessing your mobile device settings. Please following the below instructions:
iOS devices – go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising > enable Limit Ad Tracking. Please note that if you use more than one device, you need to opt-out separately in each device.
Android devices – Please follow the instructions set forth at:https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en. Please note that if you use more than one device, you need to opt-out separately in each device. Note that if you reset your advertising ID through your device's platform settings, you should follow the steps above to reset your opt-out choice. In addition, opting out may not stop data from being collected from your device or transferred for other, non-personalized advertising purposes such as optimization, reporting, frequency capping, internal operations, and fraud prevention. If you become aware of any third party that received your Ad Network Information from us, and that does not respect your choices, please let us know by contacting us via email privacy@superads.cn.
If you limit ad tracking, you will still see advertisements (even ones sourced from SUPERADS's network), but SUPERADS will no longer be able to use the personal information described above in Section 2.1 to serve you with more relevant ads. In addition, the advertising identifier (along with any information collected about that identifier) that was previously assigned to you will also be disassociated. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt back in, we will not be able to use any of your past information, and you will for all practical purposes be a new user to our system. You may also stop the collection of location information by particular apps by changing the preferences on your mobile device.
2.6 Privacy Practices of SUPERADS Clients.
SUPERADS is not responsible for the information practices of our Clients. We require our Clients to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and to provide End Users with notice of the collection of data for advertising purposes as outlined in this Notice. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of apps you visit for information about those apps’ data collection and use practices.
2.7 Children
Our Clients are responsible for ensuring that their mobile apps comply fully with applicable children's data privacy protection legislation, such as the United States’ Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), including where relevant by obtaining parental consent prior to the collection of personal information. With respect to COPPA specifically, we rely upon our Publisher Clients to confirm whether or not their app is subject to COPPA. As required by COPPA, SUPERADS will enable a flag in our system such that the End User's device history is disassociated, and the only End User “personal information” used by the SUPERADS Services would be Publisher-specific unique digital identifiers (e.g., IP address and device identifiers) to support SUPERADS's internal operations.
We do not collect or otherwise process personal data from individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland whom we know to be under 16 years of age, except to comply with law or to support our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of our app developers as described above.
If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should promptly contact us via email at privacy@superads.cn. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is deleted from our files.

4.5 How do We Keep Your Personal Information Secure
We use appropriate administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information and to help ensure that your data is safe, secure, and only available to you and to those you provided authorized access. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so you should take care in deciding what information you send us in this way.
4.6 Data Retention
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements, to enforce our agreements or comply with our legal obligations). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such data or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If you are an End User, we typically store the personal information we collect about you, such as your IP address and other information described above, for 13 months from the date of collection before we delete, overwrite, or anonymize that data, unless we are required to keep it to comply with a legal or audit obligation.
