Privacy Policy
Effective: February 9, 2021
AdAdapted, Inc., its subsidiaries, and affiliates (known as “AdAdapted,” ”We,” “Our,” or “Us”) collects certain personal information as part of our business and native advertising solution (“Services”). This information allows us to deliver relevant advertising to mobile grocery shoppers. We take seriously our responsibility to facilitate privacy rights fairly under applicable law.
This Privacy Policy provides transparency about our privacy practices, including how we collect, use, and disclose personal information, and how you can exercise your applicable privacy rights. The actual administration of privacy rights may vary based on your individual circumstances and the laws applicable to you, or as AdAdapted may otherwise offer to facilitate in its sole discretion and without obligation.
Scope and Applicability
This Privacy Policy applies to our Services, wherever operated, as well as to information collected through our sales and marketing website at www.AdAdapted.com.
Our relationship with you determines how this Privacy Policy applies to your information. For example, as a user of our website, we may collect certain personal information as part of that interaction. In other circumstances, we may process your information as a “Service Provider” or “Third Party” to our Publisher Partners. In such cases, the privacy policy of our Publisher Partners may apply in addition to certain portions of our privacy policy. If you have any question as to who is responsible for your information, please contact us at privacy@AdAdapted.com.

The categories of parties with whom we share Business Data with include:
App Data
In addition to the categories listed above, we share and disclosure App Data as needed to provide our Services to Publisher Partners and advertisers. Our sharing of App Data may constitute a “sale” of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The following provisions apply only to California residents as defined by the CCPA and supplement our broader Privacy Policy:
Business and Service Provider Roles and Relationships
Under the CCPA, AdAdapted may be a Business, Service Provider, and/or a Third Party with respect to your personal information, depending on the circumstances. If we are responsible for your personal information as a Business or have otherwise been delegated the responsibility as a Service Provider, we will respond to directly to your privacy requests.
If we are processing your information as a Service Provider or have received it as a Third Party, you may choose to exercise your data protection rights directly with the Business, such as our Publisher Partners, e.g. the mobile applications that collected your data. Otherwise, if you wish to make your request to us, we will forward your request to the responsible party.
Do Not Sell My Personal Information
In our capacity as a Business and/or Data Broker under the CCPA, AdAdapted sells (and has sold in the preceding 12 months) personal information (e.g. App Data) through our transfer of information to Advertiser Partners and Advertising Networks. In some cases, we combine information with other information as part of such sale.
Privacy Rights of California Residents
If you are a California resident, subject to certain limitations, you have the following rights concerning your personal information:
- Right to Know. You have the right to access the specific pieces of personal information collected about you, the sources from which such information was obtained, the categories of information that have been sold or disclosed for a business purpose, and the commercial purpose for which the information was collected or sold, provided to you in a reasonably portable format if you have a password-protected account.
- Right to Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of the personal information we have collected or maintain about you.
- Right to Opt-out of Sales of Personal Information. You have a right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information and to opt-in again at your election.
Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA
You may exercise your rights by submitting a request to our Data Protection Officer at privacy@AdAdapted.com or (313) 744-3383. The CCPA allows for 1 disclosure request per 12-month period at no cost to you. For subsequent requests, we may charge a fee if we determine that the request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, but will not do so without providing you with a cost estimate before processing your request.
If you would like to opt-out of the sale of your personal information, you may opt-out of AdAdapted’s sharing of personal information with third parties by initiating an opt-out request here: Opt-out of AdAdapted.
We respond to and process requests promptly and within the timeframes required by the CCPA. Please note that all requests are subject to proper prior verification before processing as required by the CCPA.

AdAdapted has registered as a data broker with the California Attorney General. Accordingly, California residents may exercise their right to opt-out of our sale of their personal information here: Opt-out of AdAdapted.
Data Retention and Disposal
We retain and dispose of personal information according to our data retention and disposal policies, which are designed to meet the requirements of applicable law. Generally, this means:
- Business Data are retained for as long as may be necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained, including any possible follow ups, to the extent that such information is not subject to a lawful request for deletion. We may also retain Business Data for a reasonable time after its collection to ensure the integrity of log files, prevent fraud and spoofing, and protect the security of our Services.
- App Data are retained for as long as is required to provide our Services to the extent that such information is not subject to a lawful request for deletion.
As part of our backup and recovery policies, deleted data may remain in our possession for an additional period in the form of secure backups.
Data may also be retained as part of legal and regulatory record-keeping obligations, such as to maintain records of privacy requests.
Exercising Control Over Your Privacy
We provide several ways to exercise control over your privacy.
California residents may opt-out of our sale of your personal information here: Opt-out of AdAdapted. You may also exercise your applicable rights by contacting us at privacy@AdAdapted.com.
