NextOVP, LLC - Terms of Service

Updated: May 15, 2023

This privacy policy is intended to inform you of the collection, use and disclosure of information that we collect. All references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to mean NextOVP, LLC. (“NextOVP”), and all references to “you” and “your” are intended to mean end users who have been exposed to our services through their interaction with Digital Media Properties (defined below) that use NextOVP’s technology to provide you with content and advertisements.
NextOVP is committed to transparency, and we want you to fully understand how we may collect, use, and share data relating to individuals (like you), and the choices that are available to you.

About Us

The NextOVP platform is used by us and our partners on their websites, mobile applications and other digital media properties (which we collectively refer to as “Digital Media Properties“) to display editorial and sponsored content. Advertisers and/or their agents (which we collectively refer to as “Media Buyers”) partner with us to buy advertising on these Digital Media Properties.

Information We Collect

When you visit a Digital Media Property that uses our technology, we receive certain information about you and your device (“User Information“). Some of this information (including for example your IP addresses and certain unique device identifiers), may identify a particular computer or device, and may be considered “personal data” in some jurisdictions, including the European Union/European Economic Area (“EU/EEA”) and the State of California (“California”) in the United States of America (“USA”). However, our Services are designed to process information in such a manner that the information cannot be directly attributed to a specific, identifiable individual. Specifically, we take the following measures:

  • NextOVP does not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”).
  • NextOVP does not build any kind of user profiles.
  • NextOVP does not collect or store any unique device identifiers.
  • We anonymize the IP address of all EU/EEA & USA end users to de-identify such information and make it impossible to derive PII from this information.
  • Our cookies have been anonymized for all EU/EEA & USA end users to make it impossible to derive any PII.

The information we collect includes:

  • Browser and Device information, such as the device type and model, manufacturer, operating system type and version (e.g. iOS or Android), web browser type and version (e.g., Chrome or Safari), user-agent, carrier name, time zone, network connection type (e.g., Wi-Fi or cellular), anonymized IP address (in certain cases), general location inferred from IP address, information about our Publisher Client’s apps and versions currently active on a device (but not any other apps), and identifiers assigned to a device, such as its iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), Android/Google Advertising ID (AAID or GAID).
  • Information about an end user’s activities on our publisher’s Digital Media Properties: Information about the domain, URLs, keywords, session start/stop time, geolocation, click data and types of advertisements viewed.
  • Information about content or advertisements served, viewed, or clicked on, such as the type of content or advertisement, where the content or advertisement was served, whether the end user clicked on it, the number of times an end user has seen the content or advertisement, and whether the user visited the Media Buyer’s website or relevant app store and/or purchased or installed the product or service advertised.

Legal basis for Processing User Information for EU/EEA End Users

If you are a resident of a country in the European Union/European Economic Area (“EU/EEA” – Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom), you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the collection, processing, and use of information about you. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to streamline and modernize existing EU/EEA privacy law to reflect technology advances while giving individuals more control over their personal data.
As mentioned above, we take the following measures across our service:

  • NextOVP does not collect any personally identifiable information (“PII”).
  • NextOVP does not build any kind of user profiles.
  • NextOVP does not collect or store any unique device identifiers.

To comply with the EU/EEA GDPR rules, NextOVP goes further by taking the following initiatives:

  • Our cookies have been anonymized for all EU/EEA end users to make it impossible to derive any PII.

Legal basis for Processing User Information for California & USA End Users

If you are a resident of the State of California in the USA, you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the collection, processing, and use of information about you. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) was enacted to provide California consumers with greater control over how their personal information is collected, used and sold.
As mentioned above, we take the following measures across our service:

  • NextOVP does not collect any personally identifiable information (“PII”).
  • NextOVP does not build any kind of user profiles.
  • NextOVP does not collect or store any unique device identifiers.

To comply with the CCPA rules, NextOVP goes further by taking the following initiatives:

  • We anonymize the IP address of all EU/EEA end users to de-identify such information and make it impossible to derive PII from this information.
  • Our cookies have been anonymized for all EU/EEA end users to make it impossible to derive any PII.

How We Collect Anonymous User Information

We use cookies and other similar tracking technologies to collect information automatically from end user’s devices in order to help us identify unique browsers or devices used by an end user and to perform functions like, for example, limiting the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, reporting and ensuring that advertisements are properly displayed on our Publisher Clients’ Digital Properties. These technologies include:

  • “Cookies”: these are data files that often include a unique identifier, and are placed on a visitor’s device or computer. We use cookies on our customers’ websites in order to operate our technology. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • “SDKs” or “Software Development Kits”: these are blocks of code that are embedded into an app that allow us to track certain information relating to your use of apps using our technology.
  • Mobile device identifiers: We also use standard device identifiers, for example the “IDFA” advertising identifier used on Apple’s iOS devices and the “Google Advertising ID” advertising identifier used on Android devices in order to operate our technology.

In addition, we also work with third party advertising platforms that separately collect and use User Information to enable our and their customers to deliver targeted advertisements using our advertising technology. As an example, we work with companies that use information about your visits to various websites or applications across multiple devices in order to provide you content and advertisements of interest across those devices. Our customers may use this third-party data in combination with your User Information to deliver you targeted advertisements across multiple devices.

Information Our Customers and Vendors Collect

Our customers, partners, our vendors, and our customers’ vendors, who use our technology may use their own tags, pixels, cookies, or other similar technology (or those of their other affiliates) within their advertisements and on certain websites. We are not responsible for our customers, vendors and/or our customer’s vendors use of such tracking technologies or for their privacy practices.

How We Use Anonymous User Information

We use the information we collect for a variety of business purposes. For example, we use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Service Usage and Support: To calculate usage levels of our Services, help diagnose server problems, and administer our services.
  • As we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside an end user’s country of residence; (b) to comply with subpoenas, warrants, or other legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside an end user’s country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, end users, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

NextOVP may maintain Anonymous Data for up to 24 months unless required to do otherwise by law. Summarized data, consisting of aggregated statistical data not attributable to a uniquely identifiable entity, may be stored indefinitely.

Data Transfers for Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA)

NextOVP is a global company headquartered in the United States with data centers located in the United States, Europe and Asia. If you are accessing any of the Digital Media Properties from outside the United States, please be aware that data may be transferred to, stored and processed by us and our affiliates in our facilities in the United States and other countries.
These countries (including the United States) may not provide an adequate level of data protection for User Information (as determined by the European Commission) or have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however ensure that where NextOVP or third-party service providers receive User Information outside of the EEA, appropriate protections are in place under European data protection legislation. We have taken appropriate safeguards, as described in the section “Legal basis for Processing User Information (EU/EEA end users only)”, to ensure that your personal information will be anonymized and protected in accordance with this Policy.
