Outbrain is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs Outbrain’s use of data collected by us, including any and all personal data. Personal data is information that relates to you and may identify you as an individual. We use your personal data in line with all applicable laws. To ensure compliance and to align with Outbrain’s values around Trust & Transparency, we have a team of privacy champions responsible for continuously implementing our global privacy program.
| 1. Who we are, What we do, How you can contact Outbrain, our DPO or the relevant authorities | + |
| Who we are: Outbrain means Outbrain Inc., a Delaware, USA corporation with headquarters in New York; and its affiliated subsidiaries (collectively, “Outbrain,” or “we“, “us“, “our“). We operate out of 12 global offices and we partner with publishers and marketers across the globe. What we do: Outbrain’s mission is to serve interesting recommendations to its Users based on their interests. To achieve our mission we enter into agreements with:
How to contact us: We regularly review our compliance with this Privacy Policy. Questions, comments and requests regarding this Privacy Policy are welcomed and should be addressed to PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com or by mail to Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, Attn: Privacy Questions. If Outbrain does not satisfactorily answers your questions or concerns, you may also contact the following for advice, support or complaints:
Self-Regulatory Bodies Outbrain adheres to the Self-Regulatory Principles set forth by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). We are members in good standing of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), an association dedicated to responsible data collection and its use for digital advertising. We adhere to the NAI Code of Conduct for Web and Mobile. Outbrain also adheres to the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, and the IAB Europe OBA Framework. |
| 2. Outbrain User Types (including Opt Out Options) | + |
| Much of this Privacy Policy is divided into sections based on the way you may interact with Outbrain. Please determine what user type you are. For each user type we’ve explained what information we collect and why, what cookies and other similar technologies we use, how we share such information, and your rights.
|
| 3. How We Keep Information Safe, Transfers Outside the EEA, Sharing and Retention | + |
| Security Outbrain has a dedicated security team. We maintain tight controls over the personal data we collect, retaining it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights, to ensure it is secure. Please see our security standards for more information. Business Partners have access to certain password-protected features of the Amplify or Engage service. They are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please remember that unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. A common Internet scam is known as "spoofing" or "phishing." This occurs when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting personal data from you. Please be aware that we will not send you any emails requesting you to verify credit card, bank information, or any other personal data. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information from you, do not respond to it, and do not click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to us at legal@outbrain.com, as we will investigate instances of possible Internet fraud. Data Transfers Outside the EU/EEA When we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to other countries in which applicable laws do not offer the same level of data privacy protection as in the European Territories, we take measures to provide an appropriate level of data privacy protection. In other words, your rights and protections remain with your data. For example, we use approved contractual clauses and other measures designed to ensure that the recipients of your personal data protect it. Sharing In addition to the description of how we may disclose your personal data for each user type, we may also disclose personal data as follows:
In addition, we combine your personal data with those of other users in order to share trend information and aggregate user statistics with third parties, always in aggregated and anonymized form. Data Retention The retention period for each of the cookies Outbrain uses (whether its own or on our behalf by third parties) is stated on the Cookie Table. Outbrain also maintains a Data Retention Policy that details the retention period for personal data based on our analysis of how long the specific data is reasonably required for legal or business purposes. When we no longer need personal data, we securely delete or destroy it. Aggregated data, which cannot identify a device/browser (or individual) and is used for purposes of reporting and analysis, is maintained for as long as commercially necessary. |
| 4. Children | + |
| None of our services are directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a Site Visitor, a User or a Business Partner is under 16, we will not use or maintain his/her personal data. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal data from a child under the age of 16, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records. If you’re a kid, please go play in the yard, don’t use or interact with Outbrain! |
| 5. European Territory Citizens | + |
| In compliance with European privacy laws, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Outbrain provides specific additional rights for citizens of the European Territories such as the right to access, rectification, right to object, to complaint, erasure and blockage. More specifically:
In addition to the above, we reference certain rights for European Territory citizens throughout this Privacy Policy. Pursuant to the GDPR, citizens from "European Territories" mean the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, the term "European Territories" shall continue to include the United Kingdom, even after the United Kingdom leaves the European Economic Area following Brexit. Please email PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com with any questions about exercising any of the above rights. |
| 6. California Privacy Rights | + |
| Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties or corporate affiliates' direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com or send to the following address: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011. Please allow 30 days for a response. |
| 7. “Do Not Track” Disclosure | + |
| Some browsers transmit Do Not Track (DNT) signals to websites. Because there is no common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, Outbrain does not currently alter, change, or respond to DNT requests or signals from these browsers. We will continue to monitor industry activity in this area and reassess our DNT practices as necessary. In the meantime, you can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt out of receiving personalized recommendations in the Users section. |
| 8. How This Privacy Policy May Change | + |
| We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will place a prominent notice that will be visible to you as a Site Visitor or Business Partner, but we do not have a means of advising Users of an update. You should check back here periodically to see if the Privacy Policy has been updated. We will always show the date of the latest modification of the Privacy Policy at the top of the page so you can tell when it was last revised. |

Outbrain ist dem Schutz Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten verpflichtet. Diese Datenschutzbestimmungen („Datenschutzbestimmungen“) gelten für die Verwendung durch Outbrain der von uns erfassten Daten, einschließlich aller personenbezogenen Daten, durch Outbrain. Personenbezogene Daten sind Informationen, die sich auf Sie beziehen und Sie persönlich identifizieren können. Wir verwenden Ihre personenbezogenen Daten entsprechend den geltenden Gesetzen. Im Sinne der Compliance und der Übereinstimmung mit Outbrains Werten rund um Vertrauen und Transparenz verfügt Outbrain über ein Team von Datenschutz-Champions, die für die kontinuierliche Umsetzung unseres weltweit gültigen Maßnahmenkatalogs zum Datenschutz verantwortlich sind.
| 1. Wer wir sind, Was wir tun, Wie Sie Outbrain kontaktieren können, unser Datenschutzbeauftragter oder die zuständigen Behörden | + |
| Wer wir sind: Outbrain bedeutet Outbrain Inc., ein Unternehmen nach dem Recht von Delaware, USA, mit Hauptsitz in New York, und dessen verbundene Tochterunternehmen (zusammen bezeichnet als: „Outbrain“ oder „wir“, „uns“, „unser“). Wir haben Niederlassungen in zwölf Ländern weltweit und arbeiten mit Publishern und Vermarktern auf der ganzen Welt zusammen. Was wir tun: Outbrains Mission ist es, für Nutzer relevante Empfehlungen anhand ihrer Interessen bereitzustellen. Zu diesem Zweck schließen wir Vereinbarungen mit:
Wie Sie Kontakt mit uns aufnehmen: Unsere Compliance bezüglich dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen überprüfen wir regelmäßig. Wir freuen uns über Ihre Fragen, Anmerkungen und Anfragen zu diesen Datenschutzbestimmungen. Richten Sie diese bitte an PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com oder auf postalischem Weg an Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, Attn: Privacy Questions / Datenschutzanfrage. Sollte Outbrain Ihre Fragen oder Anliegen nicht zu Ihrer Zufriedenheit beantworten, können Sie sich auch an folgende Ansprechpartner wenden, um Rat oder Unterstützung zu erhalten bzw. Beschwerden vorzubringen:
Selbstkontrollgremien Outbrain befolgt die im Rahmen der Selbstverpflichtung formulierten Grundsätze der Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) und der European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Wir sind vollberechtigte Mitglieder der Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), eines Verbands, der sich der verantwortungsvollen Erfassung von Daten und deren Verwendung in der Digitalwerbung verpflichtet hat. Wir befolgen die Verhaltensregeln der NAI für Web- und Mobilwerbung. Outbrain befolgt ebenfalls die im Rahmen der Selbstverpflichtung formulierten Grundsätze für die verhaltensgesteuerte Online-Werbung des Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) sowie die Rahmenbedingungen für die verhaltensgesteuerte Online-Werbung des IAB Europe. |
| 2. Outbrain-Nutzertypen (inklusive Deaktivierung/Opt-Out) | + |
| Ein Großteil dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen ist in einzelne Abschnitte unterteilt, die sich daran orientieren, wie Sie mit Outbrain interagieren. Bitte entscheiden Sie, welcher Nutzertyp Sie sind. Entsprechend den einzelnen Nutzertypen erläutern wir, welche Informationen wir erfassen und warum wir dies tun, welche Cookies und andere vergleichbare Technologien wir nutzen, wie wir diese Informationen weitergeben und über welche Rechte Sie verfügen.
|
| 3. Datensicherheit, Übertragungen außerhalb des EWR, Weitergabe und Speicherfristen | + |
| Sicherheit Outbrain verfügt über ein dezidiertes Sicherheitsteam. Wir führen eine strenge Kontrolle der durch uns erfassten Daten durch und speichern diese in durch Firewalls geschützten und sicheren Datenbanken mit streng begrenzten und kontrollierten Zugriffsrechten, damit deren Sicherheit gewährleistet ist. Weitere Informationen können Sie unseren Sicherheitsstandards entnehmen. Geschäftspartner haben Zugang zu bestimmten passwortgeschützten Funktionen der Dienstleistungen Amplify oder Engage. Sie sind für die Geheimhaltung dieses Passworts verantwortlich. Bitte denken Sie daran, dass die Informationsübertragung über das Internet leider nicht vollständig sicher ist. Ein häufig vorkommender Internetbetrug wird als „Spoofing“ oder „Phishing“ bezeichnet. Dabei erhalten Sie eine E-Mail, die von einer vertrauenswürdigen Quelle zu stammen scheint und in der Ihre personenbezogenen Daten erfragt werden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir Ihnen keine E-Mails senden, in denen wir Sie um die Überprüfung Ihrer Kreditkarten- oder Bankdaten oder anderer personenbezogener Daten bitten. Sollten Sie jemals eine E-Mail erhalten, die den Anschein erweckt, von uns zu sein, und in der derartige Daten von Ihnen angefordert werden, antworten Sie nicht darauf und klicken Sie auch auf keine Links in dieser E-Mail. Leiten Sie stattdessen diese E-Mail an uns unter legal@outbrain.com weiter, da wir Fälle möglichen Internetbetrugs untersuchen. Datenübertragungen außerhalb der EU/des EWR Wenn wir personenbezogene Daten aus dem Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum in andere Länder übertragen, deren geltende Gesetze nicht über dasselbe Datenschutzniveau wie in den europäischen Gebieten verfügen, sorgen wir durch eigene Maßnahmen für ein geeignetes Datenschutzniveau. Für Ihre Daten gelten somit weiterhin Ihre Rechte und Ihr Datenschutz. Beispielsweise verwenden wir anerkannte Vertragsklauseln und weitere Maßnahmen, durch die für den Schutz Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten durch die Empfänger gesorgt ist. Weitergabe von Daten Zusätzlich zu der beschriebenen Offenlegung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten der einzelnen Nutzerarten legen wir personenbezogene Daten unter Umständen wie folgt offen:
Außerdem kombinieren wir Ihre personenbezogenen Daten mit denen anderer Nutzer, um Trendinformationen weiterzugeben und Nutzerstatistiken mit Dritten zu verbinden, jedoch stets in zusammengefasster und anonymisierter Form. Datenspeicherung Die Speicherfrist für jedes durch Outbrain verwendete Cookie (gleich ob unser eigenes oder für uns durch Dritte) ist in der Cookie-Tabelle genannt. Outbrain verfügt zudem über eine Richtlinie zur Datenspeicherung, in der die Speicherfrist für personenbezogene Daten aufgeführt ist, die auf unserer Analyse basiert, welche Speicherfrist für bestimmte Daten aus rechtlichen oder geschäftlichen Gründen angemessen ist. Wenn wir personenbezogene Daten nicht mehr benötigen, löschen oder vernichten wir diese auf sichere Weise. Zusammengefasste Daten, durch die kein Gerät/Browser (oder keine Person) identifiziert werden kann und die für die Berichterstattung und Analyse benötigt werden, behalten wir so lange, wie dies wirtschaftlich nötig ist. |
| 4. Kinder | + |
| Keine unserer Dienstleistungen richtet sich an Kinder unter 16 Jahren. Wir erfassen wissentlich keine personenbezogenen Daten von Personen unter 16 Jahren. Stellen wir bei der Datenerfassung fest, dass ein Websitebesucher, ein Nutzer oder ein Geschäftspartner unter 16 ist, verwenden oder behalten wir seine/ihre personenbezogenen Daten nicht. Wenn wir davon Kenntnis erlangen, dass wir unwissentlich personenbezogene Daten von einem Kind im Alter von unter 16 erfasst haben, ergreifen wir angemessene Anstrengungen zur Löschung dieser Daten aus unseren Verzeichnissen. Wenn du ein Kind bist, nutze Outbrain nicht, verlasse diese Seite und geh lieber spielen! |
| 5. Bürger des europäischen Gebiets | + |
| In Übereinstimmung mit europäischen Datenschutzgesetzen, insbesondere der europäischen Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO), gewährt Outbrain Bürgern der europäischen Gebiete bestimmte zusätzliche Rechte wie das Recht auf Zugriff, Berichtigung, Einspruch, Beschwerde, Löschung und Blockierung. Insbesondere:
Neben dem oben Genannten weisen wir in diesen Datenschutzbestimmungen auf bestimmte Rechte für Bürger des europäischen Gebiets hin. Laut der DSGVO bezeichnet die Formulierung „Bürger aus europäischen Gebieten“ den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum (EWR) und die Schweiz. Im Sinne dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen umfasst der Begriff „europäische Gebiete“ weiterhin das Vereinigte Königreich, auch nachdem dieses den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum im Anschluss an den Austritt (Brexit) verlässt. Bitte senden Sie eine Nachricht an PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com, wenn Sie Fragen zur Ausübung dieser Rechte haben. |
| 6. Datenschutzrechte in Kalifornien | + |
| Laut dem California Civil Code, Abschnitte 1798.83-1798.84, sind Einwohner Kaliforniens berechtigt, von uns darüber Auskunft zu erhalten, welche Kategorien personenbezogener Daten wir an Dritte oder verbundene Unternehmen für diese Dritten oder für direkte Marketingzwecke verbundener Unternehmen weiterleiten. In dieser Auskunft werden die Kategorien der weitergeleiteten Daten identifiziert, einschließlich einer Liste der Dritten und verbundenen Unternehmen, an die die Daten weitergeleitet wurden, und deren Namen und Adressen. Falls Sie Ihren Wohnsitz in Kalifornien unterhalten und Sie diese Auskunft einholen möchten, senden Sie bitte eine schriftliche Anforderung an PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com oder an die folgende Anschrift: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011. Sie erhalten eine Antwort innerhalb von 30 Tagen. |
| 7. „Do Not Track“-Angabe | + |
| Einige Browser senden an Websites „Do Not Track (DNT)“-Signale, mit denen der Website mitgeteilt wird, dass die Aktivitäten des Nutzers nicht verfolgt werden sollen. Es besteht jedoch kein allgemeingültiges Verständnis darüber, wie DNT-Signale zu interpretieren sind, und daher findet durch Outbrain derzeit keine Modifizierung, Änderung oder Reaktion auf die DNT-Anforderungen oder -Signale von diesen Browsern statt. Wir beobachten weiterhin die Branchenaktivitäten in diesem Bereich und bewerten unsere DNT-Verfahren bei Bedarf neu. Zwischenzeitlich können Sie eine Reihe anderer durch uns bereitgestellter Tools zur Kontrolle der Datenerfassung und -nutzung einsetzen, unter anderem die Möglichkeit, im Nutzerbereich den Erhalt personalisierter Empfehlungen zu deaktivieren. |
| 8. Mögliche Änderungen dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen | + |
| Wir ändern diese Datenschutzbestimmungen zu gegebener Zeit. Darüber informieren wir durch einen deutlichen Hinweis, der für Sie als Websitebesucher oder Geschäftspartner erkennbar ist. Wir haben jedoch keine Möglichkeit, Nutzern gegenüber eine Aktualisierung anzukündigen. Sie sollten diesen Bereich regelmäßig daraufhin überprüfen, ob die Datenschutzbestimmungen aktualisiert worden sind. Wir zeigen stets das Datum der letzten Änderung der Datenschutzbestimmungen oben auf der Seite an, damit Sie wissen, wann diese zuletzt überarbeitet wurden. |

Outbrain se compromete a proteger tus datos personales. Esta Política de privacidad («Política de privacidad») rige el uso por parte de Outbrain de los datos recopilados por nosotros, incluyendo todos y cada uno de los datos personales.

Para garantizar el cumplimiento y estar en sintonía con los valores de Outbrain en materia de confianza y transparencia, contamos con un equipo de defensores de la privacidad responsables de la implementación continua de nuestro programa de privacidad global.
| 1. Quiénes somos, qué hacemos, cómo ponerse en contacto con Outbrain, nuestro RPD o las autoridades competentes | + |
| Quiénes somos: Outbrain significa Outbrain Inc, una sociedad de Delaware (EE.UU.) con sede en Nueva York y sus filiales (colectivamente, «Outbrain», o «nosotros», «nos», «nuestro»). Operamos desde 12 oficinas globales y colaboramos con editores y vendedores de todo el mundo. Qué hacemos: La misión de Outbrain es facilitar recomendaciones interesantes a sus usuarios basadas en sus intereses. Para lograr nuestra misión firmamos acuerdos con:
Cómo ponerse en contacto con nosotros: Revisamos regularmente nuestro cumplimiento de la presente Política de privacidad. Las preguntas, comentarios y solicitudes relacionadas con esta Política de privacidad son bienvenidas y deben dirigirse a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com o por correo postal a Outbrain Inc. 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, Nueva York, NY 10011, Attn: Privacy Questions. Si Outbrain no responde satisfactoriamente a tus preguntas o inquietudes, también puede ponerte en contacto con las siguientes personas para obtener asesoramiento, apoyo o realizar reclamaciones:
Órganos de autorregulación Outbrain se adhiere a los principios de autorregulación establecidos por la Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) y la European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Somos miembros activos de la Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), una asociación dedicada a la recopilación responsable de datos y su uso para la publicidad digital. Nos adherimos al Código de conducta de NAI para sitios web y móviles. Outbrain también se adhiere a los Principios de autorregulación de la Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) para la Publicidad conductual en línea y al Marco OBA de IAB de Europa. |
| 2. Tipos de usuarios de Outbrain (incluyendo la gestión del Opt Out) | + |
| Gran parte de esta Política de privacidad está dividida en apartados en función de la manera en que puedes interactuar con Outbrain. Por favor, determina qué tipo de usuario eres. Para cada tipo de usuario hemos explicado qué información recopilamos y por qué, qué cookies y otras tecnologías similares utilizamos, cómo compartimos dicha información y sus derechos.
|
| 3. Cómo protegemos la información, las transmisiones fuera del EEE, el intercambio y la retención | + |
| Seguridad Outbrain tiene un equipo de seguridad específico. Mantenemos un estricto control de los datos que recopilamos y los retenemos en bases de datos seguras y protegidas por cortafuegos con derechos de acceso estrictamente limitados y controlados, para garantizar su seguridad. Consulta nuestras normas de seguridad para obtener más información. Los socios comerciales tienen acceso a determinadas funciones protegidas por contraseña del servicio Amplify o Engage. Ellos son responsables de mantener la confidencialidad de la contraseña. Por favor, recuerda que, lamentablemente, la transmisión de información a través de Internet no es completamente segura. El «spoofing» o «phishing» son algunas de las estafas más comunes en Internet. Esto se produce cuando recibes un correo electrónico que parece proceder de una fuente legítima que te solicita datos personales. Ten en cuenta que no te enviaremos ningún correo electrónico solicitándote que verifiques la información de tu tarjeta de crédito, bancaria o cualquier otro dato personal. Si alguna vez recibes un correo electrónico que parece ser de nuestra parte solicitándote dicha información, no respondas a él y no haga clic en ninguno de los enlaces que aparecen en el correo electrónico. En su lugar, reenvíenos el correo electrónico a legal@outbrain.com, ya que investigaremos casos de posible fraude en Internet. Transferencias de datos fuera de la UE/EEE Cuando transferimos datos personales desde el Espacio Económico Europeo a otros países en los que las leyes aplicables no ofrecen el mismo nivel de protección de la privacidad de los datos que en el territorio europeo, adoptamos medidas para proporcionar un nivel adecuado de protección de los datos. En otras palabras, tus derechos y niveles de protección se mantienen con tus datos. Por ejemplo, utilizamos cláusulas contractuales aprobadas y otras medidas diseñadas para asegurar que los destinatarios de tus datos personales los protejan. Intercambio Además de la descripción de cómo podemos revelar tus datos personales en función de cada tipo de usuario, también podemos revelar datos personales de la siguiente manera:
Además, combinamos tus datos personales con los de otros usuarios para compartir información de tendencias y agregar estadísticas de usuarios con terceros, siempre de forma agregada y anónima. Retención de datos El período de retención para cada una de las cookies que utiliza Outbrain (ya sea por su cuenta o en nuestro nombre por parte de terceros) se indica en la Tabla de cookies. Outbrain también mantiene una Política de Retención de Datos que detalla el período de retención de datos personales sobre la base de nuestro análisis sobre cuánto tiempo es necesario retener razonablemente los datos específicos para fines legales o comerciales. Cuando ya no necesitamos datos personales, los borraremos o destruiremos de forma segura. Los datos agregados, que no puedan identificar un dispositivo/navegador (o a una persona) y se utilicen con fines de información y análisis, se mantendrán durante el tiempo que sea necesario desde el punto de vista comercial. |
| 4. Niños | + |
| Ninguno de nuestros servicios está dirigido a niños menores de 16 años. No recopilamos de manera consciente datos personales de ninguna persona menor de 16 años de edad. Si en el momento de la recopilación determinamos que un Visitante del sitio, un Usuario o un Socio comercial es menor de 16 años, no utilizaremos ni mantendremos tus datos personales. Si tenemos constancia de que sin saberlo hemos recopilado datos personales de un menor de 16 años, haremos todos los esfuerzos razonables para eliminar dicha información de nuestros registros. ¡Si eres un niño, ve a jugar al patio, no uses ni interactúes con Outbrain! |
| 5. Ciudadanos del territorio europeo | + |
| En cumplimiento de la legislación europea en materia de privacidad, en particular el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos de la Unión Europea (RGPD), Outbrain proporciona derechos adicionales específicos a los ciudadanos del territorio europeo, tales como el derecho de acceso, rectificación, oposición, reclamación, supresión y bloqueo. En concreto:
Envía un correo electrónico a privacyquestions@outbrain.com con cualquier pregunta sobre el ejercicio de cualquiera de los derechos anteriores. Además de lo anterior, hacemos referencia a ciertos derechos de los ciudadanos del territorio europeo a través de la presente Política de Privacidad. De conformidad con el RGPD, por ciudadanos del «territorio europeo» se entenderán los ciudadanos del Espacio Económico Europeo (EEE) y Suiza. A los efectos de la presente Política de privacidad, el término «territorio europeo» seguirá incluyendo al Reino Unido, incluso después de que el Reino Unido abandone el Espacio Económico Europeo tras el Brexit. |
| 6. Derechos de Privacidad de California | + |
| En virtud de los artículos 1798.83-1798.84 del Código Civil de California, los residentes de California tienen derecho a solicitarnos un aviso que describa las categorías de información personal que compartimos con terceros o filiales corporativas para los propósitos de marketing directo de dichos terceros o filiales corporativas. Ese aviso identificará las categorías de información compartida e incluirá una lista de los terceros y filiales con los que se compartió, junto con tus nombres y direcciones. Si eres residente de California y deseas una copia de este aviso, por favor envía una solicitud por escrito a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com o envíala a la siguiente dirección: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, Nueva York, NY 10011. Por favor, espera 30 días para recibir una respuesta. |
| 7. Declaración de «no rastreo» (Do Not Track) | + |
| Algunos navegadores transmiten señales de «no rastreo» (DNT, por sus siglas en inglés) a webs. Debido a que no existe una idea común de cómo interpretar la señal DNT, Outbrain no altera, cambia ni responde actualmente a las peticiones o señales DNT de estos navegadores. Seguiremos supervisando la actividad del sector en esta área y volveremos a evaluar nuestras prácticas de DNT según sea necesario. Mientras tanto, puedes utilizar el resto de las herramientas que ofrecemos para controlar la recopilación y el uso de datos, incluida la posibilidad de inhabilitar las recomendaciones personalizadas en el apartado «Usuarios». |
| 8. Cómo puede cambiar esta Política de privacidad | + |
| Podemos cambiar esta Política de privacidad cada cierto tiempo. Colocaremos un aviso que podrás ver claramente como Visitante del Sitio o Socio comercial, pero no disponemos de ningún medio para avisar a los Usuarios de las actualizaciones. Deberás comprobar, periódicamente, si se ha actualizado la Política de privacidad. Siempre mostraremos la fecha de la última modificación de la Política de privacidad en la parte superior de la página para que puedas saber cuándo se revisó por última vez. |

Outbrain s’engage à protéger vos données personnelles. Cette politique de confidentialité (la « Politique de confidentialité ») régit l’utilisation des données collectées par Outbrain, notamment les données personnelles, quelles qu’elles soient. Par données personnelles, nous entendons les informations qui vous concernent et permettent éventuellement de vous identifier. Nous utilisons vos données personnelles conformément aux lois en vigueur. Afin de garantir la conformité et de nous aligner sur les valeurs d’Outbrain en matière de confiance et de transparence, nous disposons d’une équipe de « privacy champions » chargée de mettre en œuvre en continu notre programme mondial de respect de la vie privée.
| 1. Qui sommes-nous, que faisons-nous, comment contacter Outbrain, notre DPO ou les autorités compétentes | + |
| Qui sommes-nous ? Outbrain fait référence à Outbrain Inc., une société du Delaware (États-Unis) dont le siège se trouve à New York, et à ses succursales affiliées (collectivement désignées par les termes « Outbrain », ou « nous », « notre », « nos »). Nous exerçons nos activités à partir de 12 bureaux internationaux et travaillons en partenariat avec des éditeurs et des annonceurs dans le monde entier. Que faisons-nous ? La mission d’Outbrain est de proposer des recommandations intéressantes et pertinentes aux utilisateurs en fonction de leurs centres d’intérêt. Pour remplir cette mission, nous concluons des accords avec :
Comment nous contacter ? Les questions, commentaires et demandes concernant cette Politique de confidentialité sont les bienvenus. Ils doivent être adressés à PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com ou par courrier à Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, USA, Attn: Privacy Questions. Si Outbrain ne répond pas de manière satisfaisante à vos questions ou inquiétudes, vous pouvez également contacter, pour des conseils, une assistance ou des réclamations :
Les organismes d’autorégulation Outbrain adhère aux principes d’autorégulation définis par la Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) et l’European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Nous sommes membres de plein droit de la Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), une association dédiée à une collecte et une utilisation responsable des données à des fins de publicité numérique. Nous adhérons au code de bonne conduite de la NAI pour le Web et les appareils mobiles. Outbrain adhère également aux principes d’autorégulation de l’Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) pour la publicité comportementale en ligne et à l’OBA Framework de l’IAB Europe. |
| 2. Types d’utilisateurs Outbrain (et gestion d'exclusion "opt-out") | + |
| La majeure partie de cette Politique de confidentialité est divisée en sections basées sur la manière dont vous interagissez avec Outbrain. Veuillez déterminer quel type d’utilisateur vous êtes. Pour chaque type d’utilisateur, nous détaillons quelles informations nous collectons et pourquoi, quels témoins de connexion ou « cookies » et autres technologies similaires nous utilisons, comment nous partageons ces informations, et vos droits.
|
| 3. Comment sécurisons-nous les informations ; les transferts en dehors de l’EEE ; le partage et les durées de conservation | + |
| Sécurité Outbrain dispose d’une équipe de sécurité dédiée. Nous mettons en œuvre des contrôles stricts sur les données que nous collectons, en les conservant dans des bases de données sécurisées et protégées par des pare-feu avec des droits d’accès contrôlés et limités afin de garantir leur sécurité. Veuillez consulter nos normes de sécurité pour de plus amples informations. Les Partenaires commerciaux ont un accès protégé par mot de passe à certaines fonctionnalités du service Amplify ou Engage. Ils ont la responsabilité de préserver la confidentialité de ce mot de passe. Il est néanmoins nécessaire de rappeler que la transmission d’informations par Internet n’est malheureusement pas complètement sécurisée. Une des fraudes classiques sur Internet est connue sous le nom d’usurpation d’identité électronique (« spoofing ») ou hameçonnage (« phishing »). Ceci se produit quand vous recevez un e-mail d’une source apparemment légitime vous demandant de lui fournir des données personnelles. Sachez que nous ne vous enverrons aucun e-mail vous demandant de vérifier un numéro de carte de crédit, des informations bancaires ou toutes autres données personnelles. S’il vous arrivait de recevoir un e-mail apparemment de notre part et vous demandant de nous fournir de telles informations, n’y répondez pas et ne cliquez sur aucun lien apparaissant dans ce message électronique. Veuillez plutôt nous transférer l’e-mail à l’adresse legal@outbrain.com, et nous mènerons des enquêtes sur d’éventuelles fraudes sur Internet. Transferts des données en dehors de l’UE/EEE Lorsque nous transférons des données personnelles de l’Espace économique européen vers d’autres pays dans lesquels les lois applicables n’offrent pas le même niveau de protection de confidentialité des données que les pays européens, nous prenons des mesures pour fournir un niveau approprié de protection de la confidentialité des données. En d’autres termes, vos droits et protections perdurent avec vos données. Nous utilisons par exemple des clauses contractuelles approuvées et d’autres mesures conçues pour garantir que les destinataires de vos données personnelles les protègent. Partage En complément de la description de la manière dont nous sommes susceptibles de divulguer vos données personnelles pour chaque type d’utilisateur, nous pouvons également divulguer les données personnelles comme suit :
Par ailleurs, nous combinons vos données personnelles avec celles d’autres utilisateurs afin de partager des informations sur les tendances et agréger des statistiques d’utilisation avec des tiers, toujours sous forme agrégée et anonyme. Conservation des données La période de conservation pour chacun des cookies qu’Outbrain utilise (les siens propres ou au nom de tiers) est définie dans la Table des cookies. Outbrain tient également à jour une Politique de conservation des données qui détaille la période de conservation pour les données personnelles sur la base de notre analyse de la durée raisonnable de conservation nécessaire de données particulières pour des raisons légales ou opérationnelles. Quand nous n’avons plus besoin des données personnelles, nous les effaçons ou les supprimons de manière sécurisée. Les données agrégées, qui ne permettent pas d’identifier un appareil/navigateur (ou un individu) et sont utilisées pour des objectifs de reporting et d’analyse, sont conservées aussi longtemps que commercialement nécessaire. |
| 4. Enfants | + |
| Aucun de nos services n’est destiné à des enfants de moins de 16 ans. Nous ne recueillons pas sciemment de données personnelles auprès d’enfants âgés de moins de 16 ans. Si nous réalisons en cours de collecte qu’un Visiteur du site, un Utilisateur ou un Partenaire commercial a moins de 16 ans, nous n’utiliserons ni ne conserverons ses données personnelles. Si nous réalisons que nous avons involontairement collecté des données personnelles auprès d’un enfant de moins de 16 ans, nous prendrons alors les mesures raisonnables pour supprimer ces informations de nos registres. |
| 5. Citoyens européens | + |
| Conformément aux lois européennes sur le respect de la vie privée, en particulier le Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD), Outbrain octroie des droits particuliers complémentaires aux citoyens des pays européens, comme le droit d’accès aux données, le droit de rectification, le droit d’opposition, le droit de porter réclamation, le droit à l’effacement et le droit de blocage. Plus spécifiquement :
En complément des droits ci-dessus, nous référençons certains droits pour les citoyens des pays européens dans cette Politique de confidentialité. Conformément au RGPD, nous entendons par citoyens des « pays européens » les citoyens de l’Espace économique européen (EEE) et de la Suisse.

| 7. Dispositions « Do Not Track » (non-traçage) | + |

Outbrain ne procède actuellement à aucune altération, modification ou réponse aux demandes ou signaux de non-traçage de ces navigateurs car il n’existe pas de compréhension commune sur la manière d’interpréter les signaux de non-traçage. Nous continuerons de suivre l’activité du secteur dans ce domaine et réévaluerons nos pratiques de non-traçage si nécessaire. En attendant, vous pouvez utiliser la gamme d’autres outils que nous vous proposons pour contrôler la collecte et l’utilisation des données, notamment la possibilité de demander l’exclusion de la réception de recommandations personnalisées (« opt-out ») dans la section Utilisateurs. |

I dati personali sono informazioni che si riferiscono a te e possono identificarti come individuo. Utilizziamo i tuoi dati personali in linea con tutte le leggi applicabili. Al fine di garantire il rispetto e l'allineamento con i valori di Outbrain in materia di fiducia e trasparenza, disponiamo di team di esperti di privacy responsabili dell'implementazione continua del nostro programma di privacy globale.
| 1. Chi siamo, Cosa facciamo, Come contattare Outbrain, il nostro RPD o le autorità competenti | + |
| Chi siamo: Outbrain indica Outbrain Inc., un'azienda del Delaware (USA) con sede a New York; e le sue partecipate (collettivamente, “Outbrain,” o "noi", "ci", "nostro"). Operiamo da 12 uffici a livello globale e collaboriamo con editori e operatori di mercato in tutto il mondo. Cosa facciamo: La mission di Outbrain consiste nel fornire ai suoi utenti contenuti interessanti basati sui loro interessi. Per realizzare la nostra mission stipuliamo accordi con:
Come contattarci Esaminiamo regolarmente il nostro rispetto della presente politica sulla privacy. Domande, commenti e richieste riguardanti la presente politica sulla privacy sono apprezzati e vanno indirizzati a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com oppure all'indirizzo postale: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, Attn: Privacy Questions. Qualora Outbrain non risponda in maniera soddisfacente alle tue domande o preoccupazioni, puoi altresì contattare i seguenti riferimenti per informazioni, supporto o reclami:
Organismi di autoregolamentazione Outbrain aderisce ai principi di autoregolamentazione stabiliti da Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) e da European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Siamo soci in regola della Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), un'associazione dedicata alla raccolta responsabile di dati e al loro utilizzo per la pubblicità digitale. Aderiamo al Codice di condotta NAI per il settore Web e Mobile. Outbrain aderisce altresì ai principi di autoregolamentazione dell'Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) per la pubblicità comportamentale online e al framework di IAB Europa per la pubblicità comportamentale online. |
| 2. Tipi di utente Outbrain (compresa la gestione delle opzioni di Opt Out) | + |
| Gran parte della presente politica sulla privacy è suddivisa in sezioni in base al modo in cui è possibile interagire con Outbrain. Ti preghiamo di stabilire quale tipo di utente sei, in quanto, per ogni tipo di utente abbiamo spiegato quali informazioni raccogliamo e perché, quali cookie e altre tecnologie analoghe utilizziamo, come condividiamo tali informazioni e i tuoi diritti.
|
| 3. Come manteniamo le informazioni al sicuro, Trasferimenti al di fuori del SEE, Condivisione e conservazione | + |
| Sicurezza Outbrain dispone di un team dedicato per la sicurezza. Manteniamo rigorosi controlli sui dati che raccogliamo, conservandoli in database protetti e soggetti a firewall con diritti di accesso rigorosamente limitati e controllati, per garantirne la sicurezza. Consulta le nostre norme sulla sicurezza per maggiori informazioni. I partner commerciali hanno accesso a determinate funzionalità protette da password del servizio Amplify o Engage. Loro sono responsabili del mantenimento della riservatezza di tale password. Ricorda che, sfortunatamente, la trasmissione di informazioni tramite Internet non è completamente sicura. Una truffa comune su Internet è nota come "spoofing" o "phishing" e si verifica quando ricevi un'email proveniente da quella che sembra essere una fonte legittima che richiede i tuoi dati personali. Ti preghiamo di osservare che non ti invieremo alcuna e-mail che ti chieda di verificare la carta di credito, le coordinate bancarie o eventuali altri dati personali. Qualora dovessi ricevere un'e-mail che sembra provenire da noi e ti chiede tali informazioni ti preghiamo di non rispondere e non fare click su nessun link presente nell'e-mail. Al contrario, inoltraci l'e-mail all'indirizzo legal@outbrain.com, in quanto esamineremo possibili casi di frodi su Internet. Trasferimento dei dati al di fuori dell'UE/del SEE Quando trasferiamo i dati personali dallo Spazio economico europeo ad altri paesi nei quali le leggi applicabili non offrono il medesimo livello di protezione della privacy dei dati offerto nei Territori europei, adottiamo misure atte a fornire un livello appropriato di protezione della privacy dei dati. In altre parole, i tuoi diritti e le protezioni che ti spettano rimangono associati ai tuoi dati. Ad esempio, utilizziamo clausole contrattuali approvate e altre misure studiate per garantire che i destinatari dei tuoi dati personali li proteggano. Condivisione Oltre alla descrizione di come possiamo divulgare i tuoi dati personali per ciascun tipo di utente, possiamo altresì divulgare dati personali nei seguenti casi:
Inoltre, combiniamo i tuoi dati personali con quelli di altri utenti al fine di condividere informazioni sulle tendenze e aggregare le statistiche degli utenti con terze parti, sempre in forma aggregata e anonimizzata. Conservazione dei dati Il periodo di conservazione per ciascuno dei cookie utilizzati da Outbrain (sia per quelli propri sia per quelli usati da terzi per nostro conto) è indicato nella Tabella dei cookie. Outbrain mantiene altresì una politica di conservazione dei dati che dettaglia il periodo di conservazione dei dati personali in base alla nostra analisi della durata ragionevolmente necessaria di tale conservazione, rispetto a dati specifici, tenuto conto delle finalità legali o commerciali. Nel momento in cui non necessitiamo più dei dati personali, li cancelliamo o li distruggiamo in maniera sicura. I dati aggregati, che non consentono di identificare un dispositivo/browser (o una singola persona) e sono utilizzati per finalità di reporting e analisi vengono conservati per tutto il tempo necessario dal punto di vista commerciale. |
| 4. Minori | + |
| Nessuno dei nostri servizi si rivolge a minori di 16 anni. Non raccogliamo consapevolmente dati personali da minori di 16 anni. Se al momento della raccolta dovessimo stabilire che un Visitatore del sito, un Utente o un Partner commerciale ha meno di 16 anni, non useremo né conserveremo i suoi dati personali. Qualora dovessimo venire a conoscenza del fatto che abbiamo raccolto inconsapevolmente dati personali da un minore di età inferiore ai 16 anni, attueremo ogni ragionevole sforzo per eliminare tali informazioni dai nostri archivi. Se sei un bambino, vai a giocare in giardino, non usare o interagire con Outbrain! |
| 5. Cittadini dei territori europei | + |
| In conformità con le leggi europee in materia di tutela della vita privata (privacy), in particolare con il regolamento generale europeo sulla protezione dei dati (GDPR), Outbrain riconosce specifici diritti aggiuntivi ai cittadini dei Territori europei quali il diritto di accesso, di rettifica, di opposizione, di reclamo, di cancellazione e di blocco. Più specificamente:
In aggiunta a quanto sopra, facciamo riferimento a determinati diritti per i cittadini dei Territori europei nel corso della presente politica sulla privacy. Ai sensi del GDPR, con il termine cittadini dei "Territori europei" si intendono i cittadini dello Spazio economico europeo (SEE) e della Svizzera. Ai fini della presente Informativa sulla privacy, il termine "Territori europei" continuerà a includere il Regno Unito, anche dopo che il Regno Unito avrà lasciato lo Spazio economico europeo in seguito alla Brexit. Nel caso avessi domande su come esercitare qualsiasi dei diritti descritti qui sopra, scrivici al seguente indirizzo e-mail: PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com. |
| 6. Diritti in materia di privacy della California | + |
| Ai sensi degli articoli 1798.83-1798.84 del Codice Civile della California, i residenti californiani hanno il diritto di richiederci un'informativa che descriva le categorie di informazioni personali che condividiamo con terzi o società affiliate per finalità di marketing diretto di tali terzi o società affiliate. Tale informativa individuerà le categorie di informazioni condivise e includerà un elenco dei terzi e delle società affiliate con le quali sono state condivise, unitamente ai loro nomi e indirizzi. Se sei residente in California e desideri una copia di tale informativa, invia una richiesta scritta a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com oppure inviala al seguente indirizzo postale: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011. Si prega di consentire 30 giorni per la risposta. |
| 7. Comunicazione antitracciamento (“Do Not Track”) | + |
| Alcuni browser trasmettono segnali antitracciamento, denominati "Do Not Track" (DNT), ai siti web. Poiché non esiste una comprensione comune su come interpretare il segnale DNT, al momento Outbrain non altera, modifica o risponde alle richieste o ai segnali DNT di tali browser. Continueremo a monitorare l'attività del settore in questo contesto e rivaluteremo le nostre pratiche DNT se necessario. Nel frattempo, puoi utilizzare la gamma di altri strumenti che mettiamo a disposizione per controllare la raccolta e l'utilizzo dei dati, ivi inclusa la capacità di rinunciare a ricevere raccomandazioni personalizzate consultando la sezione Utenti. |
| 8. Come può variare la presente politica sulla privacy | + |
| Occasionalmente potremmo modificare la presente politica sulla privacy. Inseriremo un avviso in evidenza che ti sarà visibile in qualità di Visitatore del sito o Partner commerciale, tuttavia non disponiamo di mezzi per avvertire gli Utenti in merito a un aggiornamento. In tal caso si raccomanda di verificare periodicamente questa pagina per sapere se la politica sulla privacy è stata aggiornata. Visualizzeremo sempre la data dell'ultima modifica della politica sulla privacy nella parte alta della pagina affinché tu possa sapere quando è stata rivista l'ultima volta. |

- 広告/行動ターゲティング、オプトアウトの方法
当社は、本サービスの利用に関する情報を評価、収集するために第三者のアクセス解析ベンダーを使う場合があります。当社はお客様の個人情報をこれら第三者とは共有しませんが、事業者は、その事業者が使うデバイスに独自のクッキー、ピクセルタグあるいはそれに類似するテクノロジーを配置し、アクセスし、あるいはお客様に関する情報（利用情報を含む）を収集し、またアクセスする場合があります。

| もし、レコメンデーションまたは訪問するページのクリック情報を収集、アクセスされたくない場合は、下記の方法を取ってください。 お客様が関連付けされたくないレコメンデーションは一切、クリックしないようにしてください。 本個人情報ポリシーの最後にある「オプトアウト」ボタンをクリックしてOutbrainのパーソナライゼーション・トラッキングからオプトアウトしてください。 |

A Outbrain tem o compromisso de proteger seus dados pessoais. Esta política de privacidade (“Política de Privacidade”) rege o uso pela Outbrain dos dados coletados por nós, incluindo todos e quaisquer dados pessoais. Dados pessoais são informações relacionadas a você e que podem identificá-lo como indivíduo. Usamos seus dados pessoais cumprindo todas as leis aplicáveis. Para garantir a conformidade e o alinhamento aos valores da Outbrain de confiança e transparência, temos uma equipe de especialistas responsável por implementar continuamente o nosso programa global de privacidade.
| 1. Quem somos, o que fazemos, como contatar a Outbrain, nosso DPO ou as autoridades competentes | + |
| Quem somos: Outbrain representa a Outbrain Inc., empresa de Delaware, EUA com sede em Nova York; e suas subsidiárias afiliadas (coletivamente denominadas “Outbrain” ou “nós”, “nos”, “nosso(as)”). Operamos a partir de 12 escritórios globalmente e trabalhamos em parceria com editores de conteúdo e marketing do mundo todo. O que fazemos: A missão da Outbrain é oferecer recomendações interessantes aos seus Usuários com base nos seus interesses. Para cumprir nossa missão, firmamos acordos com:
Como nos contatar: Fazemos verificações regulares de conformidade com base nesta Política de Privacidade. Perguntas, comentários e solicitações relacionados a esta Política de Privacidade são bem-vindos e devem ser encaminhados a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com ou via correio a Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, USA, Attn: Privacy Questions. Caso a Outbrain não forneça resposta satisfatória para suas perguntas ou preocupações, também é possível contatar o seguinte departamento para orientações, suporte ou reclamações:
Órgãos de autorregulação A Outbrain segue os Princípios de Autorregulação definidos pela Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) e pela European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Somos membros conceituados da Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), associação dedicada à coleta responsável de dados e ao seu uso para publicidade digital. Seguimos o Code of Conduct for Web and Mobile (Código de Conduta para Web e Internet Móvel) da NAI. A Outbrain também segue os Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising (Princípios de Autorregulação para Publicidade Comportamental On-line) e o Europe OBA Framework do Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). |
| 2. Tipos de usuários da Outbrain | + |
| Parte desta Política de Privacidade está dividida em seções baseadas no seu modo de interagir com a Outbrain portanto é necessário definir em qual tipo de usuário você se encaixa. Para cada tipo de usuário, explicamos que tipo de informação coletamos e por que, quais cookies e outras tecnologias similares usamos, como compartilhamos essas informações e quais são os seus direitos.
|
| 3. Como mantemos a segurança das informações, transferências fora do EEE, compartilhamento e períodos de retenção | + |
| Segurança A Outbrain possui uma equipe de segurança dedicada. Mantemos rigorosos controles sobre os dados que coletamos, mantendo-os em bancos de dados protegidos com firewall e permissões de acesso estritamente limitadas e controladas, para garantir sua segurança. Verifique nossos padrões de segurança para mais informações. Parceiros Comerciais têm acesso a certos recursos protegidos por senha dos serviços Amplify ou Engage. Eles são responsáveis por manter sua senha confidencial. Lembre-se que, infelizmente, a transmissão de informações via internet não é totalmente segura. Um tipo de fraude comum na internet é conhecido como spoofing ou phishing. Ele ocorre quando você recebe um e-mail de uma fonte que parece legítima solicitando dados pessoais seus. Tenha em mente que não lhe mandaremos nenhum e-mail solicitando a verificação de cartão de crédito, informações bancárias ou quaisquer outros dados pessoais. Se você vier a receber um e-mail que pareça ser nosso solicitando essas informações suas, não responda e não clique em nenhum link constante no e-mail. Em vez disso, pedimos que nos encaminhe o e-mail para legal@outbrain.com para que possamos investigar possíveis casos de fraude pela internet. Transferências de dados fora da UE/do EEE Quando transferimos dados pessoais do Espaço Econômico Europeu a outros países nos quais as leis aplicáveis não oferecem o mesmo nível de proteção à privacidade dos dados que nos Territórios Europeus, tomamos medidas para fornecer um nível adequado de proteção à privacidade dos dados. Em outras palavras, seus direitos e proteções são conservados com seus dados. Por exemplo: usamos cláusulas contratuais aprovadas e outras medidas criadas para garantir que os receptores dos seus dados pessoais os protejam. Compartilhamento Adicionalmente à descrição de como podemos revelar seus dados pessoais para cada tipo de usuário, também podemos divulgar dados pessoais nos seguintes casos:
Adicionalmente, combinamos seus dados pessoais aos dos outros usuários para compartilhar informações sobre tendências e reunir estatísticas de usuários com terceiros, sempre de forma agregada e anonimizada. Retenção de dados O período de retenção para cada um dos cookies usados pela Outbrain (seja por ela mesma ou em nosso nome por terceiros) está descrito na Tabela de Cookies. A Outbrain também mantém uma Política de Retenção de Dados que detalha o período de retenção de dados pessoais com base em nossa análise do prazo razoável em que é necessário manter cada dado específico para fins legais ou comerciais. Quando não precisamos mais dos dados pessoais, os excluímos ou destruímos com segurança. Dados agregados, que não são capazes de identificar um dispositivo/navegador (ou indivíduo) e são usados para fins de relatórios e análise, são mantidos enquanto comercialmente necessários. |
| 4. Crianças | + |
| Nenhum dos nossos serviços é destinado a crianças menores de 16 anos. Não coletamos deliberadamente dados pessoais de menores de 16 anos de idade. Se durante a coleta constatarmos que um Visitante do Site, Usuário ou Parceiro Comercial é menor de 16 anos, não usaremos ou manteremos seus dados pessoais. Se tomarmos ciência de que involuntariamente coletamos dados pessoais de uma criança menor de 16 anos, tomaremos medidas razoáveis para excluir tais informações dos nossos registros. Se você é criança, pedimos que vá brincar no quintal em vez de usar ou interagir com a Outbrain! |
| 5. Cidadãos do Território Europeu | + |
| Em conformidade com as leis de privacidade europeias, especialmente com o Regulamento Geral de Proteção de Dados da União Europeia (RGPD), a Outbrain fornece direitos adicionais específicos a cidadãos dos Territórios Europeus, como o direito de acesso, retificação, contestação, reclamação, exclusão e bloqueio. Mais especificamente:
Além dos itens acima, relacionamos determinados direitos para cidadãos do Território Europeu ao longo desta Política de Privacidade. Nos termos do RGPD, são considerados “Territórios Europeus” o Espaço Econômico Europeu (EEE) e a Suíça. Para os fins desta Política de Privacidade, o termo “Territórios Europeus” deve continuar a incluir o Reino Unido mesmo após sua retirada do Espaço Econômico Europeu em decorrência do Brexit. Em caso de perguntas sobre o exercício de quaisquer dos direitos acima, envie um e-mail a privacyquestions@outbrain.com. |
| 6. Direitos de privacidade da Califórnia | + |
| Conforme o Código Civil da Califórnia, EUA, nos termos das seções 1798.83–1798.84, os residentes da Califórnia têm direito de nos solicitar uma notificação que descreva quais categorias de informações pessoais compartilhamos com terceiros ou afiliados corporativos para os fins de marketing direto desses terceiros ou afiliados corporativos. Essa notificação identificará as categorias de informações compartilhadas e incluirá uma lista dos terceiros e afiliados com os quais foram compartilhadas, junto com os respectivos nomes e endereços. Se você é residente da Califórnia e gostaria de receber uma cópia dessa notificação, envie sua solicitação por escrito a PrivacyQuestions@outbrain.com ou ao seguinte endereço: Outbrain Inc., 39 West 13th Street, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10011, USA. Pedimos que aguarde 30 dias para a resposta. |
| 7. Comunicazione antitracciamento (“Do Not Track”) | + |
| Alguns navegadores transmitem sinais Do Not Track (DNT), ou Não Rastrear, aos websites. Como não há consenso sobre como interpretar o sinal DNT, a Outbrain atualmente não altera, modifica ou responde a solicitações ou sinais DNT desses navegadores. Continuaremos a monitorar a atuação do setor nesse âmbito e reavaliaremos nossas práticas relacionadas a DNT se necessário. Enquanto isso, você pode utilizar as várias outras ferramentas que fornecemos para controlar a coleta e o uso de dados, incluindo a possibilidade de optar por recusar o recebimento de recomendações personalizadas na seção Usuários. |
| 8. Como esta Política de Privacidade pode mudar | + |
| De tempos em tempos, podemos fazer alterações nesta Política de Privacidade. Nesse caso, colocaremos um aviso em destaque, visível para você como Visitante do Site ou Parceiro Comercial. Contudo, não temos meios para alertar Usuários sobre atualizações. Recomendamos que você verifique aqui periodicamente se a Política de Privacidade foi atualizada. Sempre exibiremos a data da última alteração da Política de Privacidade no topo da página, para que você saiba a última vez em que foi revisada. |
Effective August 16, 2017 to May 24, 2018

The Service is offered by Outbrain Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, “Outbrain,” or “we“, “us“, “our“).
Outbrain is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through the Service and the Site, how such information may be used and/or shared with others, how we safeguard it and how you may access and control its use in connection with our marketing communications and activities. When you use the Service or access the Site, we employ “cookies” and other similar tracking devices to help us collect and store information about you and other users.Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, because by using the Service, and/or accessing the Site, and/or interacting with Outbrain’s widget via the Service, you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to the terms hereof as well as the Terms of Use set forth on the Site, including the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions.

Whenever you visit or interact with the Service, Outbrain, as well as any third-party vendors and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Information“). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, device type, an estimate of your geographic location associated with your IP address, the page served, the time, referring URLs and other information normally transmitted in HTTP requests. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Service, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on which the Service is installed, how long they stay on that page, the type of content on that page, which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on and how they generally engage with that page. This information helps us keep the Service fresh and interesting to our users and tailor content to each visitor’s interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but to the extent Usage Information may be associated with you as a specific and identifiable person (for example, because you have registered for the Service) and thereby provided Outbrain with personal information such as name, e-mail address, telephone number or home address) Outbrain treats such information as “Personal Information” (i.e., information that could be used to contact you or to identify you personally) and will only use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We also automatically collect the internet protocol (“IP“) address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier“) for each computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device“) you use to access the Service. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify each Device by its Device Identifier.
Our Service uses several different technologies to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers. These may include, without limitation:
Cookies.
Cookies are small text files placed on a Device when the Device is used to visit the Service or the Site. We may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while using the Service, including by better tailoring internal recommendations and promoted content to your preferences over time. For example, we may use your web browsing information to try to show you specific recommendations and sponsored recommendations that we think will be of particular interest to you. You can read more about the cookies we use for the Service by clicking here.

We also use cookies in order to keep you logged in to the Service if you register with us. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent on the Service and pages visited. Cookies may include a Device Identifier along with information about the particular type of content in which you have shown interest. Cookies also allow us to select which content is most likely to appeal to you and display that content while you are using the Service.
When interacting with the Service, if you click on a link to one of our promoted content recommendations, the customer sponsoring the promoted link may place a cookie on your Device as well, in which case you will be subject to their privacy policy. Please note that you are subject to the privacy policies of each site you visit – if Outbrain is installed on that site, you are subject both to this Privacy Policy and the policy of the web site owner. As further explained in the section of this Privacy Policy entitled OTHER SITES, if you click on an Outbrain link to visit a site where the Service is not installed, you are subject only to that site’s privacy policy while visiting that site, and not to this Privacy Policy.
You can find more information about the individual cookies most relevant to your use of the Service, and the purposes for which we use them, in our Cookie Glossary here. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can do this by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, please be aware that some functions and features of the Service may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your Outbrain account. In addition, we may not be able to tailor our recommendations as well as we would be able to if you had not blocked the cookies.
Log Files.
As is true of most web sites, we and our third party tracking-utility partner gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data.

We do link Personal Information provided to us through the Service to Personal Information. In addition, a pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server.

These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site.

Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide any of your Personal Information to any third parties without your specific consent.
However, we may disclose Personal Information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of this Site, the Service or the public. \We may also disclose your Personal Information to outside individuals and/or companies that help us bring you the products and services we offer and to create, operate, and maintain our Website. For example, we may work with third parties to: (a) to communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone, text message or other means about our company, our products, or other company’s services, products or information that we believe may be of interest to you; (b) manage a database of customer information; (c) assist us with direct marketing, distributing e-mails and data collection; (d) provide data storage and analysis; (e) provide fraud prevention; (f) provide customer service; (g) provide product fulfillment and shipping services; and (h) provide other services designed to assist us in developing and running our Site and maximizing our business potential.

In addition, if we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred.
Our Site may allow users to post comments and other content to our Site. Any Personal Information that you post to our Website will become public information and will be accessible by other users of the Website. In addition, your user name will be viewable by other users, and we therefore encourage you to use a user name that is not your actual name. We have no responsibility to maintain the privacy or security of any such Personal Information that you may choose to post to our Site.
We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information and Usage Information with third parties. We may combine your Usage Information with those of other users of the Service in order to share trend information with third parties, always in aggregated and anonymized form.

We may also share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in the following circumstances:

To opt-out of the collection and use of data on your mobile application(s), you can adjust your Device’s settings. Here are two examples for iOS and Android Devices:
iOS Devices: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking
Android Devices: Google Settings App > Ads > Opt Out of Interest-based Advertising
Your opt-out process may differ from the examples above, depending on which version of operating system is installed on your Device. Further information on opting out can be found via the NAI’s Mobile Choices page: http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choices.
Please note, even though you have opted out:
- You will still see Outbrain recommendations. Opting out of Outbrain personalization tracking does not mean you will no longer receive internal recommendations and promoted content recommendations from Outbrain. It does mean that the internal recommendations and promoted content recommendations we serve you will not be personalized based on pages you read in the Outbrain network. You will likely receive less benefit from the Service because our recommendations will not be as well tailored to your interests, but we will still use information about the document you are viewing to provide you recommendations on that page.
- Outbrain honors requests to opt out of personalization tracking by placing a special Outbrain cookie on your Device that informs our servers not to record information about the pages you are visiting. We place cookies on your Device to prevent personalization tracking. Opting out of personalization tracking is not the same as blocking cookies. As mentioned above, if you browse the web from several Devices, you will need to opt out from each Device to ensure that we prevent personalization tracking on all of them. For the same reason, if you buy a new Device, change browsers or delete this cookie (or clear all cookies), you will need to perform this opt-out task again.
You can also opt-out of receiving targeted ads served by us or other advertising companies.
- You may use the NAI opt out tool, which will allow you to opt out of seeing targeted ads from us and from other NAI-approved member companies.
- Users in the United States, Canada, and Europe may go to the DAA consumer choice page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices, or the DAAC consumer choice page at www.youradchoices.ca/choices, or the EDAA consumer choice page at www.youronlinechoices.eu, for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by companies listed on the DAA, DAAC, or EDAA, consumer choice pages. Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA, DAAC, or EDAA consumer choice page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of targeted content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Service or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit the DAA, DAAC or EDAA consumer choice pages, your opt out may not be effective. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info, on the DAAC’s website at www.youradchoices.ca, and on the EDAA’s website at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- You may also opt out of receiving targeted ads from other third-party ad networks. You may use the DAA opt out tool, which will allow you to opt out of seeing targeted ads from us and from other companies that adhere with the DAA principles.

- Your Privacy Rights, Choice And Access
To the extent you have previously registered with us, you may always direct us not to share your Personal Information with third parties, not to use your Personal Information to provide you with information or offers, or not to send you newsletters, e-mails or other communications, by following the removal instructions in the communication that you receive. Please note that we do not send any communications to you unless you have previously indicated to us that you would like to receive such communication. In any event, in each commercial communication we send, we provide an opportunity to opt-out of such communication via an unsubscribe link. Please note that (i) it may take time to process email opt-out requests consistent with applicable law (but no longer than 10 days after receipt of a request) and (ii) you cannot opt-out of transactional or relationship messages sent to registered users of the Service or those who have engaged in transactions with us (e.g., account notifications).
If you wish to verify, correct, update or request the deactivation of your information collected through the Site or Service, you may edit your profile preferences or contact us at the above address or e-mail. In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted through the Service. We will respond to requests for access within 30 days. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information. In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons.
Outbrain will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to provide services to our customers. Outbrain will retain and use this Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a user is under 13, we will not use or maintain his/her Personal Information without the parent/guardian’s consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records. If you’re a kid, please go play in the yard, don’t register for Outbrain!
We maintain tight controls over all the data we collect, retaining it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights, to ensure it is secure. When you enter sensitive information (such as login credentials) we encrypt that data via SSL encryption. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain features of the Service, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Please remember that unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, so although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted via the Service; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
A common Internet scam is known as "spoofing" or "phishing." This occurs when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting Personal Information from you. Please be aware that we will not send you any emails requesting you to verify credit card, bank information, or any other Personal Information. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information from you, DO NOT respond to it, and DO NOT click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to us at legal@outbrain.com, as we will investigate instances of possible Internet fraud.
How is Service Data Stored and How Long is it Kept?Outbrain uses generally accepted industry security standards to protect data with use of the Service, as further described in Outbrain’s Security section of our Site located at http://www.outbrain.com/security. • We retain identifiable data, which is directly collected for purposes of serving content to end-users, for twenty-four (24) months from the end-user’s last interaction with our Service, after which time we de-identify the data by removing unique identifiers or aggregating the data. • We retain aggregated data, which cannot identify an individual or device and is used for purposes of reporting and analysis, for as long as commercially necessary. We keep opt-out information for longer than this period so that we can continue to honor opt-out requests.
The Service may contain links to other sites that we do not own or operate. This includes links from customers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. We do not control, recommend or endorse and are not responsible for these sites or their content, products, services or privacy policies or practices. These other web sites may send their own cookies to your Device, they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. You should also independently assess the authenticity of any site that appears or claims that it is a part of the Service (including those linked to through an e-mail or social networking page).
The Service is operated in the United States. Given that we are an international business, our use of your information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. If you are located in the European Union, Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Service, or providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other applicable territories in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as or equivalent to those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.

お客様が本サービスにアクセスあるいはインタラクトする際は、Outbrainまたは第三者ベンダー若しくは本サービスプロバイダーは、様々な技術を用いて本サービスがどのようにアクセスおよび利用されたかということに関する情報（以下「利用情報」といいます。）を自動的にまたは受動的に収集する場合があります。 利用情報には、部分的に、ブラウザタイプ、OS、お客様のIPアドレスに関連づけられた位置情報、閲覧ページ、時間、参照URLおよびHTTP要求で通常送信されるその他情報を含む場合があります。当社は、この統計データから本サービスの利用に関する情報（本サービスがインストールされている特定のページの訪問者数、そのページ上の滞在時間、そのページ上のコンテンツタイプ、ハイパーリンクがある際はどのハイパーリンクをクリックしたか、および一般的にどのようにしてそのページに接触したか等）を取得します。この情報は、本サービスがユーザにとって新鮮で興味深いものであるために、またコンテンツを各ビジターの興味に合わせられるようにするために使われます。通常、利用情報は個人を特定できる情報ではありませんが、Outbrainがお客様を特定のユーザ（例えば、お客様が本サービスへ登録をされた）として関連づけた場合、Outbrainはそれを「個人情報」（つまり、お客様の氏名、メールアドレス、電話番号、家の住所などお客様と連絡をとるため、あるいは個人として特定するために利用することのできる情報）として取り扱います。

Whenever you visit or interact with the Service, Outbrain, as well as any third-party vendors and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Information“). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, device type, an estimate of your geographic location associated with your IP address, the page served, the time, referring URLs and other information normally transmitted in HTTP requests. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Service, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on which the Service is installed, how long they stay on that page, the type of content on that page, which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on and how they generally engage with that page. This information helps us keep the Service fresh and interesting to our users and tailor content to each visitor’s interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but to the extent Usage Information may be associated with you as a specific and identifiable person (for example, because you have registered for the Service) and thereby provided Outbrain with personal information such as name, e-mail address, telephone number or home address) Outbrain treats such information as “Personal Information” (i.e., information that could be used to contact you or to identify you personally) and will only use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We also automatically collect the internet protocol (“IP“) address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier“) for each computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device“) you use to access the Service. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify each Device by its Device Identifier.
Our Service uses several different technologies to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers. These may include, without limitation:
Cookies.
Cookies are small text files placed on a Device when the Device is used to visit the Service or the Site. We may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while using the Service, including by better tailoring internal recommendations and promoted content to your preferences over time. For example, we may use your web browsing information to try to show you specific recommendations and sponsored recommendations that we think will be of particular interest to you. You can read more about the cookies we use for the Service by clicking here.

We also use cookies in order to keep you logged in to the Service if you register with us. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent on the Service and pages visited. Cookies may include a Device Identifier along with information about the particular type of content in which you have shown interest. Cookies also allow us to select which content is most likely to appeal to you and display that content while you are using the Service.
When interacting with the Service, if you click on a link to one of our promoted content recommendations, the customer sponsoring the promoted link may place a cookie on your Device as well, in which case you will be subject to their privacy policy. Please note that you are subject to the privacy policies of each site you visit – if Outbrain is installed on that site, you are subject both to this Privacy Policy and the policy of the web site owner. As further explained in the section of this Privacy Policy entitled OTHER SITES, if you click on an Outbrain link to visit a site where the Service is not installed, you are subject only to that site’s privacy policy while visiting that site, and not to this Privacy Policy.
You can find more information about the individual cookies most relevant to your use of the Service, and the purposes for which we use them, in our Cookie Glossary here. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can do this by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, please be aware that some functions and features of the Service may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your Outbrain account. In addition, we may not be able to tailor our recommendations as well as we would be able to if you had not blocked the cookies.
Log Files.
As is true of most web sites, we and our third party tracking-utility partner gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data.

Your interaction with these features is governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide any of your Personal Information to any third parties without your specific consent. We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information and Usage Information with third parties. We may combine your Usage Information with those of other users of the Service in order to share trend information with third parties, always in aggregated and anonymized form. For example, we may use your Usage Information as part of an aggregated number to tell a prospective sponsor how many people in the Outbrain network visit sports web sites each month.
We may also share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in the following circumstances:

To opt-out of the collection and use of data on your mobile application(s), you can adjust your Device’s settings. Here are two examples for iOS and Android Devices:
iOS Devices: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking
Android Devices: Google Settings App > Ads > Opt Out of Interest-based Advertising
Your opt-out process may differ from the examples above, depending on which version of operating system is installed on your Device.
Please note, even though you have opted out:
- You will still see Outbrain recommendations. Opting out of Outbrain personalization tracking does not mean you will no longer receive internal recommendations and promoted content recommendations from Outbrain. It does mean that the internal recommendations and promoted content recommendations we serve you will not be personalized based on pages you read in the Outbrain network. You will likely receive less benefit from the Service because our recommendations will not be as well tailored to your interests, but we will still use information about the document you are viewing to provide you recommendations on that page.
- Outbrain honors requests to opt out of personalization tracking by placing a special Outbrain cookie on your Device that informs our servers not to record information about the pages you are visiting. We place cookies on your Device to prevent personalization tracking. Opting out of personalization tracking is not the same as blocking cookies. As mentioned above, if you browse the web from several Devices, you will need to opt out from each Device to ensure that we prevent personalization tracking on all of them. For the same reason, if you buy a new Device, change browsers or delete this cookie (or clear all cookies), you will need to perform this opt-out task again.

Without limiting the foregoing obligation, Partner agrees to comply with Outbrain’s instructions regarding how the Technology is to be displayed, labelled or identified.
- Outbrain may make updates, modifications or improvements to the Technology from time to time in its sole discretion. If Outbrain requests Partner to implement any such update, Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to do so within thirty (30) days of receipt of same from Outbrain; provided, that if Outbrain requests Partner to implement any Update that Partner reasonably determines would materially and adversely affect the performance of the Partner Site(s), Partner may elect to cease displaying the Technology on such page(s) unless Outbrain either addresses Partner’s concerns to its reasonable satisfaction or agrees not to require Partner to implement such Update.
- During the Term, Outbrain shall be Partner's sole and exclusive provider of content recommendations, where “content recommendations” are one or more links comprised of a headline or phrase indicating that an End User will be driven to Content (regardless of whether the Destination Page displays content, advertorials or advertisements).
- Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement and unless Outbrain provides prior written consent, any implementation of the Technology shall include at least one (1) link to Advertiser Recs per page (i.e., Partner may not use the Technology solely to provide Recirculation Recs).
- During the Term, Outbrain may test changes to the display of the Technology. Such Outbrain testing will be completed on the smallest percentage of Partner Site(s) pages that would provide statistically significant results. Based on the results of such testing, Outbrain may suggest modifications to the display of the Recommendations and Technology; such modifications shall only take effect after Partner’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). To the extent that Partner uses the API and thus controls any testing, Partner shall comply with such testing requests on at least a quarterly basis.
- REVENUE & PAYMENT
- During the Term, Partner will be paid the percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form. Outbrain shall make such payments within a certain number of days (as indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form) after the end of any calendar month during which Outbrain collects Revenue. For the avoidance of doubt, Revenue is net of, inter alia, fees for third-party data services integrated into Outbrain’s platform, invalid clicks/impressions, and advertiser and agency discounts/rebates.
- Partner must promptly provide Outbrain completed and accurate tax forms and all other similar materials Outbrain requires, which may include tax form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-9 if applicable (collectively all such forms and materials, “Tax Materials”). Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, Outbrain may (a) withhold payments owed to Partner hereunder without penalty or late fee until Outbrain has received Partner’s Tax Materials, and (b) deduct any applicable withholding taxes payable by Outbrain from payments owed to Partner by Outbrain hereunder as required by law. Once Outbrain has received the Tax Materials, Outbrain will use commercially reasonable efforts to pay any amounts not paid to Partner pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a) as soon as reasonably practicable. All payments to Partner shall be subject to withholding for income taxes and similar deductions, as required by applicable law.
- To ensure proper payment, Partner is responsible for notifying Outbrain of accurate contact and payment information. Partner is also responsible for any charges assessed by Partner’s bank or payment provider. If the amount owed to Partner is less than US$50, then the amount owed will be accrued until the calendar month in which the balance of the payments due to Partner exceeds US$50. Any dispute regarding a payment from Outbrain must be submitted to Outbrain in writing within thirty (30) days of postage or wire transfer date of such payment or it shall be deemed waived.
- Outbrain may withhold, charge or credit back payments to Partner, if Outbrain, in its sole reasonable discretion, believes that the performance related to them are fraudulent or invalid in nature or if Outbrain was charged or credited back by the advertiser. Invalid activity is determined by Outbrain in all cases and may include, but is not limited to, (i) invalid clicks on or impressions of Advertiser Recs generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including through any clicks/impressions originating from Partner’s IP addresses or computers under Partner’s control; (ii) clicks/impressions solicited or generated by payment of money, false representation, or requests for End Users to click on Advertiser Recs or take other actions; (iii) Advertiser Recs served to End Users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; and (iv) clicks/impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i, ii, and iii) above.
- In addition to Outbrain’s other rights and remedies, Outbrain may (i) withhold and offset any payments owed to Partner under the Agreement against any fees Partner owes Outbrain under the Agreement or any other agreement, and/or (ii) require Partner to refund Outbrain within thirty (30) days of any invoice, any amounts Outbrain may have overpaid to Partner in prior periods. If an Outbrain advertiser whose Advertiser Recs are displayed on any Partner Site defaults on payment to Outbrain, Outbrain may withhold payment or charge back Partner’s account.
- PRIVACY
- Outbrain and Partner shall each maintain and display on their respective websites an easily accessible and discoverable privacy policy that complies with all applicable laws, and with respect to Partner, that discloses usage of third-party technology to collect and use data in connection with the Partner Sites.

In addition, the parties shall provide End Users access to a user choice mechanism such as the opt out page(s) of the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, the European Digital Advertising Alliance, and/or a direct opt out of Outbrain through Outbrain’s privacy policy. If an End User has opted out of behavioral advertising through a Partner Site (or a Partner mechanism), Partner must not pass Outbrain such End User’s advertiser ID or other identifying mechanism.

Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganization, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

- "Destination Page" means any webpage or other online location that may be accessed by clicking on Recommendations.
- "End User" means individual human end users of the Partner Site(s).
- "Partner Sites" means the web properties, applications or platforms identified in the Partner Enrollment Form, together with any additional properties on which Partner elects to implement the Technology upon prior written approval from Outbrain (e-mail will suffice).
- "Recirculation Recs" means Recommendations that are not Advertiser Recs and which link to Content on Partner Sites.
- "Recommendations" means the display of Content that Outbrain delivers to the viewer of a web page, application or platform on which the Technology is implemented. For clarity, Recommendations may include Advertiser Recs and/or Recirculation Recs.
- "Revenue" means net revenue generated from Advertiser Recs and charged by Outbrain for the display of such Advertiser Recs in the Outbrain network.
- "Technology" means the Javascript, API, SDK and associated protocols provided by Outbrain to Partner that, when implemented on Partner Site(s), display one or more Recommendation(s) and/or permit users to navigate to Destination Pages by clicking on such Recommendations.
- TECHNOLOGY; PLACEMENT AND APPEARANCE
- Implementations of the Technology must appear directly below the main Content on each page of the Partner Sites on which the Technology is installed or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing (e-mail shall suffice).
- Partner shall display the Technology in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to disclosing the source or nature of the Recommendations. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, Partner agrees to comply with Outbrain’s instructions regarding how the Technology is to be displayed, labelled or identified.
- Outbrain may make updates, modifications or improvements to the Technology from time to time in its sole discretion. If Outbrain requests Partner to implement any such update, Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to do so within thirty (30) days of receipt of same from Outbrain; provided, that if Outbrain requests Partner to implement any Update that Partner reasonably determines would materially and adversely affect the performance of the Partner Site(s), Partner may elect to cease displaying the Technology on such page(s) unless Outbrain either addresses Partner’s concerns to its reasonable satisfaction or agrees not to require Partner to implement such Update.
- During the Term, Outbrain shall be Partner's sole and exclusive provider of content recommendations, where “content recommendations” are one or more links comprised of a headline or phrase indicating that an End User will be driven to Content (regardless of whether the Destination Page displays content, advertorials or advertisements).
- Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement and unless Outbrain provides prior written consent, any implementation of the Technology shall include at least one (1) link to Advertiser Recs per page (i.e., Partner may not use the Technology solely to provide Recirculation Recs).
- During the Term, Outbrain may test changes to the display of the Technology. Such Outbrain testing will be completed on the smallest percentage of Partner Site(s) pages that would provide statistically significant results. Based on the results of such testing, Outbrain may suggest modifications to the display of the Recommendations and Technology; such modifications shall only take effect after Partner’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). To the extent that Partner uses the API and thus controls any testing, Partner shall comply with such testing requests on at least a quarterly basis.
- REVENUE & PAYMENT
- During the Term, Partner will be paid the percentage of Adjusted Gross Revenue indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form. For the avoidance of doubt, Revenue is net of, inter alia, fees for third-party data services integrated into Outbrain’s platform, invalid clicks, impressions, and advertiser and agency discounts/rebates.
- Within fifteen (15) days of the end of the calendar month during which Outbrain earns any Revenue, Outbrain will email Partner a statement showing the amount due to Partner pursuant to the Agreement for that calendar month (the “Statement”). Outbrain shall only pay Partner if Partner emails Outbrain an invoice: (a) from the entity indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form (b) showing the amount owed to Partner and the reference number as stated in the Statement; (c) requesting Outbrain to pay the invoice to the bank account indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form and (d) requesting Outbrain to pay the invoice within ninety (90) days (or the number of days indicated on the Partner Enrollment Form) of the date of receipt of the invoice by Outbrain. VAT if applicable will only be paid against a valid VAT invoice. The VAT registration number for Outbrain UK Ltd is GB 115005961. If payment is not made when due, Partner may charge interest at the maximum rate of 2% per annum above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, Outbrain may withhold payments owed to Partner hereunder without penalty or interest until Outbrain has received an accurate invoice as per subsections (a) through (d) above. Such payments shall be subject to withholding for income taxes and similar deductions, as required by applicable law. To ensure proper payment, Partner is responsible for notifying Outbrain of accurate contact and payment information. Partner is also responsible for any charges assessed by Partner’s bank or payment provider. Partner acknowledges that Outbrain may earn portions of Revenue in foreign currencies. In such cases, Outbrain shall translate the amount of Adjusted Gross Revenue earned in the foreign currency using the exchange rate used by Outbrain from time to time on the day the applicable Adjusted Gross Revenue is earned. If the amount owed to Partner is less than £200 (or EUR 200), then the amount owed will be accrued until the calendar month in which the balance of the payments due to Partner exceeds £200 (or EUR 200). Any dispute regarding a payment from Outbrain must be submitted to Outbrain in writing within thirty (30) days of postage or wire transfer date of such payment or it shall be deemed waived.
- Outbrain may withhold, charge or credit back payments to Partner, if Outbrain, in its sole reasonable discretion, believes that the performance related to them are fraudulent or invalid in nature or if Outbrain was charged or credited back by the advertiser. Invalid activity is determined by Outbrain in all cases and may include, but is not limited to, (i) invalid clicks on or impressions of Advertiser Recs generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including through any clicks/impressions originating from Partner’s IP addresses or computers under Partner’s control; (ii) clicks/impressions solicited or generated by payment of money, false representation, or requests for End Users to click on Advertiser Recs or take other actions; (iii) Advertiser Recs served to End Users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; and (iv) clicks/impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i, ii, and iii) above.
- In addition to Outbrain’s other rights and remedies, Outbrain may (i) withhold and offset any payments owed to Partner under the Agreement against any fees Partner owes Outbrain under the Agreement or any other agreement, and/or (ii) require Partner to refund Outbrain within thirty (30) days of any invoice, any amounts Outbrain may have overpaid to Partner in prior periods. If an Outbrain advertiser whose Advertiser Recs are displayed on any Partner Site defaults on payment to Outbrain, Outbrain may withhold payment or charge back Partner’s account.
- PRIVACY
- Outbrain and Partner shall each maintain and display on their respective websites an easily accessible and discoverable privacy policy that complies with all applicable laws, and with respect to Partner, that discloses usage of third-party technology to collect and use data in connection with the Partner Sites. Outbrain's privacy policy is available at http://www.outbrain.com/legal/privacy.
- Partner shall implement the Technology in accordance with all of Outbrain’s reasonable instructions determined by Outbrain to be necessary to enable Outbrain to comply with applicable data protection laws. Partner acknowledges and agrees that it is Partner’s (and not Outbrain’s) responsibility to ensure that Partner’s use of the Technology complies with all data protection legislation applicable to Partner (including, in particular, in respect of the placing and use of third party cookies, upon which the Technology relies, and the capturing of any consent to cookies required to be obtained from the relevant End User). In addition, the parties shall provide End Users access to a user choice mechanism such as the opt out page(s) of the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, the European Digital Advertising Alliance, and/or a direct opt out of Outbrain through Outbrain’s privacy policy. If an End User has opted out of behavioral advertising through a Partner Site (or a Partner mechanism), Partner must not pass Outbrain such End User’s advertiser ID or other identifying mechanism.
- LICENSE TERMS

- REGISTRATION
Partner is not required to register on the Outbrain website to use the Technology.

Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganisation, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries.

Effective May 24, 2018
These Terms and Conditions were last revised and are current as of the effective date set forth above. Outbrain reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions from time to time.
Amplify Terms and Conditions
These Amplify Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Outbrain Inc. (“Outbrain”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Outbrain dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Outbrain service, and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Outbrain dashboard (“Dashboard”)) comprise the "Agreement" between Outbrain and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”), and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Outbrain partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) and displays a user interface containing links to content that navigate to the websites where such content is maintained (the “Service”). Outbrain uses its proprietary algorithms to determine what links to Content appear within the Service on the Network.
1.2 Outbrain shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer (the links and the content accessed from the link together are the “Content”) on the Network through the Service. Customer will only be charged for the number of clicks on Content. Fees will be based on the number of clicks received multiplied by the cost-per-click determined by Customer in the Campaign Details (“CPC”), provided that the CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s KPI for its campaign. Outbrain shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign, (ii) reaching Customer’s budget, or (iii) Customer disabling a campaign through the Dashboard, each of (i), (ii) and (iii) as specified by Customer in the Campaign Details (provided that Outbrain reserves the right to charge for additional clicks as Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Outbrain will make reports available to the Customer, which provide information about the number of clicks received during the campaign. The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports) will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of the fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Outbrain-compatible click tracker. If there is a 10% discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers (based on the Outbrain-compatible click tracker) and Outbrain's numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than 10%, Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive.
1.4 Outbrain does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content, (ii) clicks on any Content (including clicks from a particular audience segment) or (iii) conversions. If the Content does not receive clicks amounting to the budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) extend the end date of the applicable campaign, (ii) replace or add to the Content with other Content (also subject to Section 2 below) to complete the campaign; or (iii) to pay only for actual clicks on the Content. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to provide clicks.
1.5 Outbrain may also make additional Service features available to Customer which may be subject to Customer’s agreement to additional terms and conditions, (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard). Such features will be provided at Outbrain’s discretion to Customer and may include CPC fees in addition to those described in Section 5.1. Customer’s acceptance of the Additional Terms will constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as between Outbrain and Customer. In the event of a conflict between these Terms, the Additional Terms, and the Campaign Details, the order of precedence will be as follows: (A) Additional Terms, (B) Campaign Details, and (C) these Terms.
1.6 Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 8 below, Customer may place Outbrain pixel(s) (the “Outbrain Pixel”) on Customer’s website or application pages. The Outbrain Pixel’s purpose is to provide analytics related to Customer’s campaign and/or enhanced targeting functionality.
2. Content

In addition, Content selected by Customer must comply with Outbrain's Advertising Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Outbrain. Outbrain may at any time for any or no reason reject or remove Content. Customer acknowledges that Outbrain is not responsible for the Content and that the Content may change during the course of a campaign due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise. Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Outbrain to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection from a Content author or publisher, Outbrain shall cease including the Content in the Service.
2.2 Customer represents and warrants that: (i) if the Content was written by or under the direction of Customer or paid for by Customer, that fact shall be clearly disclosed on or near the Content; (ii) it is authorized to use and/or has approved all words of the Content’s headline (whether written by Customer or on Customer’s behalf); (iii) Content headlines accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content; and, (iv) it is authorized to use and/or has approved any image(s) related to its campaign(s) with Outbrain.
2.3 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, each piece of Customer Content shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to the Service.
2.4 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to Outbrain or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard, or (ii) by Outbrain for any reason upon thirty days (30) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Outbrain for all clicks received during such notice period. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service if Outbrain reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

If Customer utilizes Outbrain’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s).

Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via Outbrain's API), including those made through the Dashboard using its login.

Customer can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details, and/or Customer may have the option of working with an Outbrain account manager, as determined by Outbrain.
5. Fees and Payment Terms

The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice and credit card rests solely with Outbrain. Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests, on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.

Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of Customer’s email, Outbrain will investigate and provide Customer with a written response. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice must be paid in full.

Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due and to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorizes Outbrain to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Outbrain as a condition for the continued extension of credit.

Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests, on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.
- If payment is not made when due, Outbrain may charge interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due and to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorizes Outbrain to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Outbrain as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to Outbrain may be shared by Outbrain with companies who work on Outbrain's behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to Outbrain, collecting debts owed to Outbrain and/or servicing Customer's account.

Effective May 24, 2018
These Terms and Conditions were last revised as of the effective date set forth above. Outbrain reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions from time to time.
Amplify Terms and Conditions
These Amplify Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Outbrain UK Limited (“Outbrain”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Outbrain dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Outbrain service, and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Outbrain dashboard (“Dashboard”)) comprise the "Agreement" between Outbrain and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”) and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Outbrain partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) and displays a user interface containing links to content that navigate to the websites where such content is maintained (the “Service”). Outbrain uses its proprietary algorithms to determine what links to Content appear within the Service on the Network.
1.2 Outbrain shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer (the links and the content accessed from the link together are the “Content”) on the Network through the Service. Customer will only be charged for the number of clicks on Content. Fees will be based on the number of clicks received multiplied by the cost-per-click determined by Customer in the Campaign Details (“CPC”), provided that the CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s Key Performance Indicator Optimization feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s KPI for its campaign. Outbrain shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign, (ii) reaching Customer’s budget, or (iii) Customer disabling a campaign through the Dashboard, each of (i),(ii), and (iii) as specified by Customer in the Campaign Details (provided that Outbrain reserves the right to charge for additional clicks as Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Outbrain will make reports available to the Customer, which provide information about the number of clicks received during the campaign. The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports)will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of the fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Outbrain-compatible click tracker. If there is a 10% discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers (based on the Outbrain-compatible click tracker) and Outbrain's numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than 10%, Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive.
1.4 Outbrain does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content; (ii) clicks on any Content (including clicks from a particular audience segment), or (iii) conversions. If the Content does not receive clicks amounting to the budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) extend the end date of the applicable campaign; (ii) replace or add to the Content with other Content (also subject to Section 2 below) to complete the campaign; or (iii) to pay only for actual clicks on the Content. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to provide clicks.
1.5 Outbrain may also make additional Service features available to Customer which may be subject to Customer’s agreement to additional terms and conditions, (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard). Such features will be provided at Outbrain’s discretion to Customer and may include CPC fees in addition to those described in Section 5.1. Customer’s acceptance of the Additional Terms will constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as between Outbrain and Customer. In the event of a conflict between these Terms, the Additional Terms, and the Campaign Details, the order of precedence will be as follows: (A) Additional Terms, (B) Campaign Details, and (C) these Terms.
1.6 Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 8 below, Customer may place Outbrain pixel(s) (the “Outbrain Pixel”) on Customer’s website or application pages. The Outbrain Pixel’s purpose is to provide analytics related to Customer’s campaign and/or enhanced targeting functionality.
2. Content
2.1 Customer has the right and authorises Outbrain to place the Content on the Network and is solely responsible for determining the propriety and legality of the Content. In addition, Content selected by Customer must comply with Outbrain's Content Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Outbrain. Outbrain may at any time for any or no reason reject or remove Content. Customer acknowledges that Outbrain is not responsible for the Content and that the Content may change during the course of a campaign due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise. Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Outbrain to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection from a Content author or publisher, Outbrain shall cease including the Content in the Service.
2.2 Customer represents and warrants that: (i) if the Content was written by or under the direction of Customer or paid for by Customer, that fact shall be clearly disclosed on or near the Content; (ii) it is authorised to use and/or has approved all words of the Content’s headline (whether written by Customer or on Customer’s behalf); and (iii) Content headlines accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content and, (iv) it is authorized to use and/or has approved any image(s) related to its campaign(s) with Outbrain.
2.3 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, each piece of Customer Content shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to the Service.
2.4 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to Outbrain or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard; or (ii) by Outbrain for any reason upon thirty days (30) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Outbrain for all clicks received during such notice period. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service if Outbrain reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4. Campaign Details
If Customer utilizes Outbrain’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s). To the extent Customer registers and has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect certain personally identifiable information
