AdGyde's Services
AdGyde's Services enable advertisers and developers (our "Clients") to attribute and track the performance of their advertising campaigns and applications, including their effectiveness, usage, installations and downloads. Our Services also enable our Clients to analyse data regarding their campaigns, applications and their prospective and actual end-users ("End users"), including additional data received from AdGyde's business partners ("Partners"), as further described below.
AdGyde has no direct relationship with its Clients' End Users, or with any other individuals whose personal data we may process on our Clients' behalf. Our Services may be used by our Clients to collect and analyse such personal data, and accordingly, we process such data under the direction of our Clients.
Client and Partner Data
In order to receive the AdGyde Services, or to integrate and partner with AdGyde, Clients and Partners will be required to register and provide us with certain data, including personal data such as their email address, first and last name, and their company's name and website, as well as technical data referring to their usage of our Services, their internet connection, device, systems and software used to access and use our Services.
AdGyde use information to improve their products and services. We might use your information to customize your experience with us. This could include displaying content based upon your preferences. It is each Client's and Partner's voluntary decision whether to provide us with any such personal data, but refusal to provide any required data may result in us not being able to register the Client or Partner and enable them to receive or integrate with our Services.
End Users Data received from our Clients
AdGyde's Clients use our Services to track and analyse the characteristics and activities of the End Users, and for such purpose upload to AdGyde's platform and servers certain data regarding their End Users. Such data is provided to AdGyde by the Client, by the Client's integration and implementation of AdGyde's SDK and APIs into the Client's own application or services (that are being used by the End Users). The data we receive from Clients refers to downloads, impressions, clicks and installations of their mobile applications, mobile device use and data regarding in-app events.
Our Clients may use our services to collect and analyse the data parameters, (i) unique identifiers and technical data, such as IP address, User agent, IDFA (Identifier For Advertisers) or Android ID (in Android devices); (ii) technical data regarding the End User's operating system, device attributes and settings, applications, advertising opt-out signals, Google Advertiser ID, in-app events, device motion parameters and carrier.
Any other data should not be provided to AdGyde, unless specifically agreed in writing by us and in accordance with applicable law.
Once such data parameters are uploaded by our Clients to the Services, they enable us to provide the Services to our Clients and enable the Clients to analyse their campaigns and performance, as well as their End Users' habits and characteristics.
End User Data received from our Partners
On certain instances, our Clients may choose to use our Services to integrate and connect with AdGyde's third party Partners, or may, to the extent available, otherwise choose to customize or enable certain optional features on our Services, for the analysis of the data collected in connection with the Clients' campaigns or applications (such as data segmentation, install attribution, audience-building, re-targeting, creating or supplementing End User or inventory profiles, creating, supplementing or amending interest categories, or syndication or other distribution to third parties).
In order to process such data via our Services, our Clients have to actively set parameters that allow for such customization, integration or measurement. Specifically, we permit our Clients and Partners to upload the data parameters
Similar to the provision of the services, AdGyde is acting as a third party processor on behalf of our Clients/ Partners and process such data only on their behalf.

By analysing the data, we receive, we may compile aggregate and anonymized data ("Aggregate Data"). Aggregate Data is anonymous and is not linked to any personal data. Aggregate Data helps understand trends and client needs so that new services can be considered, and so existing products and services can be tailored to client desires.
