Opt-Out Option Via Device Settings
Data is only processed in order to show you the most relevant advertising content and to provide statistical analytics products and services. If you’re opposed to this, always read the terms and conditions and privacy notices when installing new apps. Many websites and mobile applications provide opt-out options, and you have the option to limit ad tracking on your smartphone.
If you wish that your location, be private, you can turn the geo-location feature off within the location settings of your device. In addition to this, you can disable ad tracking on your device so that Adsquare will no longer include device information in its audience segments or analytics products and services.
The following instructions explain how to turn off ad tracking for Apple and Android devices:
iOS:
- Choose Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
- Turn off “Allow Apps to Request to Track” or make your choice per app below
Android:
- Choose Settings > Google > Ads
- Check Opt out of Ads Personalization
- Toggle it off, then tap on “Reset advertising ID”
Opt-Out Option Via Advertising ID
To specifically opt-out from our services without changing your device settings, you can use the below Contact Form to submit your Advertising ID to our platform. To find out your Advertising ID, use the following instructions:
- iOS users have to download an app (e.g. “The Identifiers”) and copy the “Advertising Identifier”
- Android users choose Google Settings > Ads and copy the “advertising ID”
6. How the business responds to Do Not Track -DNT- signals
Adsquare does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Third parties that have content embedded on Adsquare’s websites such as social feature may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that the web browser visited a specific Adsquare website from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from Adsquare’s website unless you provide it to them directly.
7. Annual Data Requests
From January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 Adsquare facilitated requests made by Californian consumers pursuant to CCPA who requested to access information (“requests to know”), and Do Not Sell requests (“requests to opt-out”). Below are the metrics from the previous calendar year on the totals for each type of request.
