Bucksense serves advertisements to end users of various publishers (such as website operators or mobile app developers), via real-time marketplace platforms exchanges ("Exchanges") and/or such publishers. Those ads are provided by advertisers, who use Platform to serve their ads and manage the overall performance of their ad campaigns, including by using third party services that integrate with our Platform. When an end user receives or clicks on an ad, we might receive or collect some or all of the data provided below, whether from the end user's device, from the relevant Exchange/s, from third parties and/or publishers ("Data").
We generally do not collect or use personal information about individual users through the Bucksense Service. When we say “Personal Information”, we mean individually identifiable information that would allow us to determine the actual identity of and/or directly contact a specific living person, such as an email address or telephone number. We collect personal information only when we are contacted directly by an individual through the our site and the individual voluntarily provides personal information to us, such as by submitting a question or registering to use the Bucksense Service. Bucksense does not collect Personal Information about consumers that receive advertiser offers through the Bucksense Service.
You are not legally obligated to provide us any Data. If you do not want Platform to collect such Data, please follow the instructions below to Opt-Out.

The Bucksense Services collect information about your device and the ads that we deliver onto your device.
