Privacy Policy

exA-Arcadia PTE., LTD. and its group companies (“exA-Arcadia”, “we” or “us”) respect your privacy. This privacy notice (“Notice”) explains who we are, how we collect, use and share personal information about you, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

This Notice covers personal information we collect:

  1. when providing the exA-Arcadia Ad Services (see Section 2); and
  2. when you visit one of our Websites, and in the usual course of our business, such as in connection with our events, sales and marketing activities (see Section 3).

 

1. WHO WE ARE

exA-Arcadia ADCELERATE is an ad network providing a technology platform (“Platform”) for Clients that want to advertise and/or monetize their coin operated products. Our “Clients” include “Advertisers” that wish to distribute ad content through the exA-Arcadia Platform, and “Advertisers” who want to display relevant ads to end users (“End Users”) of third party applications (“apps”) that use our SDKs, APIs, hosted video advertising platform and/or any of our related advertising tools (collectively, the “exA-Arcadia Ad Services”).

Advertising revenue helps keep arcades running. We work hard to ensure that the ads that pay arcade location’s  bills are interesting, relevant, and safe for End Users.

2. PRIVACY FOR THE exA-Arcadia AD SERVICES

This Section describes how exA-Arcadia uses information we receive from End Users (“you”) of apps that use the exA-Arcadia Ad Services.

2.1 What information do we collect?

When you visit an app that uses exA-Arcadia technology, we use and deploy “tracking technologies” (see Section 2.3, below) to automatically collect certain information about your device. Some of this information (including for example, your IP address and certain unique identifiers), may identify a particular computer or device and may be “personal data” in some jurisdictions, including the EU. We collect this information the first time exA-Arcadia’s SDK is initialized on a coin operated machine. Note, however, that exA-Arcadia’s Ad 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 coin operated machines and ads served through exA-Arcadia’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.

There may also be situations where exA-Arcadia’s SDK is not incorporated into the coin operated machine, but we still receive some of the same data listed above in order to respond to an Ad request from a coin operated machine.

2.2 How do 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: To allow Publishers to offer advertising inventory in their apps, and Advertisers to bid on and display ads in that inventory.
  • Ad Reporting and Conversions: Reporting to Advertisers information about when and how End Users have been exposed to their ads, clicked on their ads, or visited their website.
  • Frequency Capping: Preventing End Users from seeing the same ad too many times.
  • Customizing Ads: To customize and more effectively tailor the ads we display to you and to optimize the display of ads (including limiting your exposure to less relevant ads).
  • Performance Analytics: To analyze ad performance, such as tracking views of ads, as well as click-through rates to websites or app stores and/or installs of apps that have been advertised.
  • Fraud Detection and Prevention: Identifying invalid clicks, installs, or ad queries, and protecting us and our Clients from fraudulent behavior.
  • Providing and Improving the exA-Arcadia Ad Services: Auditing, researching, and analyzing data in order to provide, protect, and improve the exA-Arcadia Ad Services and to ensure that our technologies function properly.

2.3 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 “How do we use your information?” above. To opt out of our use of such technologies, please follow the instructions for opting out in the apps, as described in “Opt-Out Choices” below.

2.4 Your Opt-Out Choices.

You can opt out of having your information being used by exA-Arcadia for performance-based advertising by accessing your mobile device settings and following the most recent published instructions. If you limit ad tracking, you will still see advertisements (even ones sourced from exA-Arcadia’s network), but exA-Arcadiawill 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.

2.5 How Do We Share Information?

Please see Section 4.1, below for information concerning how exA-Arcadia shares the information collected.

2.6 Privacy Practices of exA-Arcadia Clients.

exA-Arcadia 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 Advertising Clients to confirm whether or not their app is subject to COPPA. As required by COPPA, exA-Arcadia 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 exA-Arcadia Ad Services would be Publisher-specific unique digital identifiers (e.g., IP address and device identifiers) to support exA-Arcadia’s internal operations.
