COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITES
“Cookies” are data files that are stored on your browser or device and are used to remember user preferences and behaviors over time. Cookies allow us to recognize your device and remember information, such as your preferred language and other general settings.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Eva Live) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Our Websites use both first party and third-party cookies.
First Party Cookies
First party cookies on our Websites are used for a variety of reasons, including purposes which may be strictly necessary for our Websites to function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our Websites, we do not seek consent for such uses.
Third Party Cookies
Our Websites may contain content, pixels or cookie syncs from third parties, as outlined below. Note also that, in jurisdictions where consent is required for the placement of cookies, the appearance of any third parties on our Websites is subject to these consents being obtained by or on behalf of these third parties through, for example, the IAB’s Transparency and Consent Framework. We do not control these third parties, and you should refer to the privacy statements of our partners and service providers listed below to find out how they use cookies on our Websites and any data derived from such cookies.

Our Websites may also contain content, pixels or cookie syncs from other ad tech partners, including Eva Live and our pixels. These third parties may collect data about your web viewing behavior on our Websites and combine this data with information collected from other websites over time for purposes that include targeted advertising. Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt-out of targeted advertising. If you would like more information, please refer to the YOUR CHOICES section below.

Other Technologies
Our third-party partners or service providers may employ other tracking technologies like clear gifs (sometimes called “web Beacons” or “tracking pixels”), that are pieces of code that can be embedded on websites and can be used to learn how you interact with that website. Clear gifs help us better manage content on our Websites by informing us what content is effective. We also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functionality.
Social Media
Our Websites may include social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button. These features may allow the social media provider, like Facebook, to collect certain information, such as your IP address, cookies and page you are visiting. Your interactions with these features and data collection enabled by such social media features are governed by the privacy policy of the social media provider offering them. Please note that links to social media platforms or content from our Website does not mean that we endorse the linked social media platform and/or content.

What information does Eva DSP collect?
Eva DSP is designed to use certain types of data. It includes data generated through Eva DSP as well as data clients receive from other sources and then use on Eva DSP, or that they buy through Eva DSP. This may include pseudonymous information about Internet users’ browsers and devices, such as:
- the type of browser and its settings,

- information about the geographic location of the device when it accesses a website or mobile application
- inferences or information about users’ interests that are created, acquired, bought, sold, or used by our clients
How does Eva DSP use the information that it collects?
We use the information we collect to serve targeted ads to individuals.
More specifically, the platform enables our users to use this information to:
- Determine what ad to show an individual, and to serve that ad (including behaviorally targeted ads) to that individual
- Customize ads to particular types of audiences;
- Customize ads to the type of web page an individual is viewing;
- Perform analysis of how effective the ads served are;
- Learn more about their own customers;
- Limit the number of times an individual sees an ad;
- Detect fraud; and
- Troubleshoot platform or campaign issues.
In order to use this information as described above, we may need to transfer that information to third party partners, and such transfer may be considered a sale of data in California.
How long is the information stored and kept?
For data collected via browsers and stored in cookies, Eva DSP stores this data for up to 60 days. For data collected via mobile application advertising and stored via mobile advertising IDs Eva DSP stores this data for up to 180 days. Our systems typically reset the retention period each time we encounter the same user.
How does Eva DSP collect this information?
Eva DSP uses cookies, beacons, mobile SDKs, tags and other technology to collect data associated with particular devices or web browsers. Customers then use this data within Eva DSP to enhance and refine digital ad campaigns.
How does Eva use the information provided by Eva DSP advertisers?
We use any information provided by Eva DSP and Basis Platform advertising customers for the following service-related purposes:
- To provide, operate, manage, maintain and enhance the platform. We internally perform statistical and other analysis on information we collect (including usage data, device data, referral data, and information from page tags) to analyze and measure user behavior and trends, to understand how people use our services, and to monitor, troubleshoot and improve our services.
- To assist the enforcement of our Terms of Service.
- To prevent potentially illegal activities.
- To screen for undesirable or abusive activity.
- To contact you about your service or account. We occasionally send you communications of a transactional nature (e.g. service-related announcements, billing-related matters, changes to our services or policies, welcome emails when you first register, etc.). You can’t opt out of these communications, since they are necessary in order for us to effectively provide our services to you.
- To contact you for marketing purposes. We will only do this if you have given us your express permission to contact you for this purpose.
- To respond to legal requests and prevent harm. If we receive a subpoena or other legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to respond.
- To create new services, features or content. We may use any information you provide us (e.g. via email or through our ticketing system) to create and provide new services, features or content.
Will Eva share the information collected via the Eva DSP or Basis Platform?
- We share aggregate information collected from the Eva DSP for marketing purposes. For example, we may issue a press release announcing that users who have visited travel sites have a higher click-thru rate on finance related web pages.
- Billing and Contact information – We work with trusted agents and service providers to assist us in billing and account maintenance for our clients. These companies are required by contract to only use the information as directed by Eva and are prohibited from selling it. For example, if you fund your platform account with a credit card, we use a credit card processing company to bill you for the services and share your address and billing details with them in order to do so. These service providers do not retain, share, store or use that information for any other purpose.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may revise this policy at any time. However, if we make material changes, we will not apply them retroactively.
