Information you give us
You may provide us with information through the Sites, by email, over the phone or otherwise communicate or are in contact with us as a business customer or business contact, when you:
The categories of personal information you provide may include:
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal information (also known as “special categories of personal data”) through our Sites. Sensitive personal information is information relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership; health or sex life, sexual orientation; genetic or biometric information. If we do collect sensitive personal information, we will ask for your explicit consent to our proposed use of that information at the time of collection.
Information we collect from you
AudienceView collects, stores and uses information about your visits to the Sites and about your computer, tablet, mobile or other device (“device”) through which you access the Sites. This includes the following information:
referred to together as “Technical and Usage Data” in this Privacy Policy.
We collect and process personal information on behalf of our clients in the provision of our services. In these circumstances, AudienceView is acting as a data processor and our clients remain the data controller in respect of personal information they provide to us. To the extent that we are acting as data processor, we will process such personal information in accordance with our customer’s instructions and any agreement in place with our customers. AudienceView will only use such personal information for the purposes of providing the services for which our clients have engaged us.
Our clients are responsible for ensuring that the privacy of individuals whose personal information they are processing is respected, including communicating to these individuals in their own privacy policies with whom the individual’s personal information is being shared and by whom it is being processed.
As a data processor, AudienceView may share personal information where instructed by our clients (the data controller). With our client’s specific or general authorisation, we may also share personal information with third party service providers (sub-processors) who work for AudienceView and who are subject to security and confidentiality obligations.
Details of all sub-processors engaged by AudienceView from time to time can be viewed here: www.AudienceView.com/subprocessors
Moreover, AudienceView may provide personal information to comply with a subpoena, warrant or other court order, government institution requesting the information upon lawful authority, or as may be otherwise required by law.
Where AudienceView is acting as a data processor, we will refer any request from an individual for access to personal information which we hold about them to our clients. AudienceView will not respond directly to the request.
AudienceView will retain personal information which we process on behalf of our clients for as long as needed to provide services to our customers and in accordance with any agreement in place with our clients.
Personal information does not include information that is aggregated or anonymized in such a manner that it cannot be connected to any individual. We may anonymise and aggregate the personal information we process in such a way as to ensure that individuals cannot be identified from it. We may use this anonymised and aggregated information for our own purposes including for testing our systems, research, data analysis, developing new services and improving the Sites and our services. We may share this anonymized and aggregated information with third parties.
As a data controller, AudienceView will only use your personal information if we have a legal basis for doing so. The purpose for which we use and process your information and the legal basis on which we carry out each type of processing is explained in the table below.

AudienceView will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you in a timely manner and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so or seek your consent for using your personal information for the new purpose.

We may share your personal information with our group companies and affiliates as necessary to carry out the purposes for which the information was supplied or collected (i.e. to provide the services you have requested).

In addition, AudienceView may disclose information about you:
To deliver services to you, it is necessary for us to transfer your personal information outside of the UK and European Economic Area (“EEA”) to our affiliates/group companies and our service providers and business partners located outside the UK and EEA. This includes the USA and Canada.
The UK government and European Commission have each decided that Canada provides adequate levels of data protection.
Where personal information is transferred to and stored in a country not determined by the European Commission or UK government as providing adequate levels of protection for personal information, we take steps to provide appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including by entering into standard contractual clauses with recipients, obliging them to protect your personal information.
If you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of the UK or EEA (as applicable), please contact us using the details set out above.
AudienceView uses appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information both online and offline from unauthorized use, loss, alteration or destruction. We use industry standard physical and procedural security measures to protect information from the point of collection to the point of destruction. This includes but is not limited to: encryption, firewalls, access controls, policies and other procedures to protect information from unauthorized access.
Only authorized personnel and third party service providers are permitted access to personal information, and that access is limited by need. Where data processing is carried out on our behalf by a third party, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized disclosure of personal information.
Despite these precautions, however, AudienceView cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet or that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to personal information. In the event of a data breach, AudienceView have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where required to do so by law.
If you have any questions about security on our Sites, you can contact us as set out in “Contacting Us” above.
Your personal information will not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and processed. We will retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as defined below, or as needed to provide you with services you have requested.
The criteria we use for retaining different types of personal information, includes the following:
You have the right to access information which we hold about you (“data subject access request”).
You may also have the right to receive personal information which you have provided to us in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another data controller (“data portability”). The right to data portability only applies where your personal data is processed by us with your consent or for the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means.
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Where you provide consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time and free of charge, but without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Direct marketing
You have the right to object at any time to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Where we process your information based on our legitimate interests
You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal information which is based on our legitimate interests. Where you object on this ground, we shall no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You also have the following rights under data protection laws to request that we rectify your personal information which is inaccurate or incomplete.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to:
Please note that the above rights are not absolute and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or partly, where exceptions under the applicable law apply.
For example, we may refuse a request for erasure of personal information where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. We may refuse to comply with a request for restriction if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
You can exercise any of your rights as described in this Privacy Policy and under data protection laws by contacting us as set out in “Contacting Us” above.
Save as described in this Privacy Policy or provided under data protection laws, there is no charge for the exercise of your legal rights. However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either: (a) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the action requested; or (b) refuse to act on the request.
Where we have reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the person making the request, we may request additional information necessary to confirm your identity.
