For non-residents of the European Economic Area, IP address and advertising IDs (IDFA/AAID) are Non-Personal Information.

“Ad(s)” - a digital advertisement or “adunit”
“Sensory ads” - Threedium’s user-engagement ad product, Sensory Ads are served on the premise that a user must voluntarily and actively participate with an ad experience by fullfiling a digital “gesture-based” (using the computer cursor, mobile touch-screen or mobile gyroscope type command) interaction. This means that a user must view and opt-in by engaging in order to benefit from the ad experience, as opposed to the traditional industry model of view-only.
“RTB“ - Real-time bidding refers to the buying and selling of online ad impressions through real-time auctions that occur in the time it takes a webpage to load.

“Bidder-as-a-Service“ solution for programmatic RTB media buying.
“HTTPS“ - (HTTP Secure) is an adaptation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet.
“Cookie“ - An HTTP cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer by the user's web browser while the user is browsing. • “Beacons, Pixels“ -- A Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a Web site or in an email that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the email. It is often used in combination with cookies.
“AWS“ - Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon.com that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies and governments.
“Amazon VPC“ - Amazon VPC lets you provision a logically isolated section of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network defined by the client (Threedium).
“Amazon S3“ - Amazon Simple Storage Service is a web service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon S3 is extremely durable, highly available and secure object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data on the Internet.
“AWS Kinesis“ - Amazon Kinesis Data Streams enables you to build custom applications that process or analyze streaming data for specialized needs.
In general, there are three categories of information we collect:
Information that you opt to share so we can use it to provide additional features and improve your experience;
information that we must have for you to use the Threedium Sites and Services;
Information collected from your interaction with Threedium Products or Services as an End User of an ad format or 3D Configurator
The kind of information we collect, and how we do it depends on which kind of user category you fall into.
- Respond to you regarding your specific query or request;
- Communicate with you for marketing, research and promotional purposes;
- Inform you of any training sessions or events;
- Conduct communication relating to the service or project you signed-up for;
- Inform you of product and service updates.

Bidder Data - Threedium serves as a “Data Processor” in the context of user targeting and media buying in a programmatic environment, whereas the Bidder makes available information that is covered by consent passed on by the Bidder or Bidder suppliers.
RTB - Threedium may use Ad Serving Data to optimise the performance of the ad campaigns we are bidding for using a Real-Time Bidding Platform. For every relevant auction we receive a bid request. This request is sent over HTTPS and is processed by our servers inside protected AWS VPC. After we reply to the bid request we delete the request data.
Reporting Logs - When we buy inventory using a Bidder, we receive logs with details about auctions we won. This data is sent to us using secure channels using tools like AWS S3 and AWS Kinesis. This data contains End User IP addresses, locations, browser details, websites name, app name, and all bid-related details, and we may use it for campaign optimisation and reporting purposes. You can read more about the Bidder Data we receive here.
Threedium Engagement Data - In addition to standard digital advertising metrics, Threedium also tracks “user engagements” that form the core offering of Sensory Ads.
Every time an ad is loaded in the user browser or app environment, Threedium tracks a set of events triggered by the engagement (including engagement gesture, clicks, skips, etc). We send this data with auction_id back to our servers over the HTTPS channel.
Third Party Tracking - Threedium may implement third-party performance tracking mechanism, such as click-through links and tracking pixels, per the request of our clients who receive and may share with us daily aggregated reports, used to monitor the performance of the campaigns. These mechanisms may store user IP address, store a cookie in the user browser and get information about the browser.
Cookies - Threedium doesn’t store any cookies in End User browsers in the context of Ad serving. However, the Bidder (used to buy ad inventory) and its supplies may store cookies in the End User browser to profile inventory, to fulfil targeting requirements. For this use, Threedium does not target individual (identifiable) users, we only focus on the environmental variables like type of device, domain name and geographical location of the user. Third party tools may also store cookies in the End User browser to help measure and monitor the ad campaign performance accurately. These cookies are governed by the third party and/or domain (publisher) terms.
Aggregated Reporting - In order to fulfil our service proposition, Threedium aggregates raw Bidder Data and Threedium Engagement Data for monitoring, optimisation and reporting purposes. Aggregation is usually executed in the form of daily sums and/or campaign lifecycle totals. Aggregated reports are used to track performance and delivery of campaigns, and are shared with our clients (the advertiser) as part of our contractual obligations. Threedium’s customers and/or partners (collectively “Third Parties”) may also use cookies to customise the End User online advertising experience, based on the preferences or interests known or inferred from the information collected. Our customers (the advertiser) may use cookies to serve appropriate ads to you and to help track results or measure effectiveness of those ads. Third Parties may also combine information collected in the context of delivering an ad to you with other information they have independently collected over time across different online environments, including syncing or connecting behavior across different websites, mobile apps or devices. These Third Parties collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
Storage of Ad Serving Data
There are two types of Ad Serving Data
Raw Data - Information we collect via the Bidder (containing IP address, locations and details about the user browser) and tracking logs we store in encrypted S3 buckets with appropriate access control policies.
We keep Raw Data for 90 days. This allows us to check and ensure that the relevant and subsequent aggregations are correct.
Aggregated Data - Aggregated (non-identifiable) information is stored in secured and encrypted databases in the AWS data centres. At this stage we no longer store IP addresses and location we have received from the Bidder. We may store aggregated data indefinitely or as long as normal business operations will require.
If you have any concerns about or would like to opt-out from Ad Serving Data you can contact Threedium at info@threedium.co.uk for further information.
