1. Summary

Semcasting, Inc. ("Semcasting") has created this privacy statement (the "Privacy Policy") for the following Semcasting websites to communicate our information gathering and distribution practices, as well as to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. They may be referred to as Sites or Services throughout this Policy.

By using the Site and the Services, you are agreeing to the terms of our Privacy Policy. Although this Site contains links to other websites, please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those or any other websites. If you follow a link to another website, you should carefully read their privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy covers the following topics:

  • Personal information and our business model
  • The personal information we collect and how we collect it
  • Your consent to our collection of personal information
  • How we use your personal information
  • How we disclose personal information
  • How we secure your personal information
  • Retention of personal information
  • How we may update our privacy policy
  • Do not track

  • Your rights to your personal information

2. Personal Information and Our Business Model

Semcasting provides audience targeting and attribution technology solutions that support our clients (our "Clients") and their agency of record. We facilitate advertising services using Demand Side Platforms and the execution of attribution studies on our Clients' behalf. Our role is to provide the matching, onboarding, optimization and proof of performance for those audiences identified for our Clients.

Our Services use a Client's first-party CRM customer or prospect data ("Client Data") to support advertising on desktops, mobile devices, connected TVs, video, or other forms of information delivery over the Internet. We receive Client Data using secured, encrypted methods in two ways: (i) our Clients supply us with Client Data directly, and (ii) we collect information on visitors to our Client's websites. Client Data includes names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, locations, Internet Protocol addresses, and website traffic logs, and in some instances may include medical information, some of which may be covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), such as name, physical address, email address, medical coverage, prescription drugs, physician and medical provider. We control a Client's Client Data only during and for the performance of our Services for such Client.

Important: We are only able to remove or revise your information located in Client Data that we control and that has been provided to us by our Clients. We have no control over Client Data that has not been provided to us and remains in the control of our Clients. Please contact our Clients directly to request the removal or revision of your information stored in their databases.

Semcasting also gathers data independently. Semcasting (i) compiles publicly available information on households and businesses to support our first-party matching process, and (ii) purchases data from third party distributors (collectively, "Semcasting Data"). Semcasting Data adheres to online and offline privacy recommendations, code-of-conduct and guidelines of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (the "IAB"), and the Association of National Advertisers ("ANA"). We follow The HITRUST CSF in our management of sensitive data and physical security as well as Trustwave for online data management.

Semcasting uses Client Data and Semcasting Data only for providing the Services.

3. The Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We and our service providers and marketing partners collect the following personal information about you:

  1. Semcasting collects Client Data from our Clients as described above to perform Services for our Clients.
  2. Semcasting collects publicly-available bulk data from government agency filings, such as postal addresses, housing transactions, voter registration information and voter preferences. Although not personal information, Semcasting also collects publicly-available aggregated data, such as local and regional economic performance indicators and summarized healthcare information.
  3. Semcasting purchases data from third party distributors to provide the Services. This data includes transaction data, mapping data, and mobile device data from trusted partners including Complementics, Digital Envoy, Digital Map Products, DMTI Spatial, Collective Data, People Data Labs, and Safegraph.
  4. Visitors to the Site may wish to subscribe to the Semcasting newsletter or blog or may request further information about our marketing solutions and use of data via our contact form. Individuals requesting more information will be asked to provide their first and last name, email address, job title, phone number and company name.
  5. Our Site offers publicly accessible blogs that allow user comment. Comments may be read, collected, and used by others who access the blogs.
  6. Semcasting records information from all visitors to our Sites, such as website traffic logs, number of visits or clicks on a given page, pages viewed or links to our Site, and Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses.
  7. Semcasting may collect personal information about you provided to us by third-party services, including identifiers, names, addresses, education, medical information, health insurance information, age, characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, geolocation data, device-related characteristics, voter-related characteristics, and business-related characteristics.
  8. Semcasting uses cookies and web beacons to collect information about visitors to our Site and our Clients' websites. Cookies themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information but enable us to remember you each time you return to visit our Site or use our Services. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.
  9. Our Site includes Social Media Features and Widgets. These features may collect your IP address and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.

Semcasting provides Services to European customers based on completely de-identified data that is aggregated at a postal code level with no ability to re-identify a person, device, or household. Semcasting has no access to European consumer information other than government-sanctioned census level information which is aggregated at a postal code level.

4. Your Consent to Our Collection of Your Personal Information

By using our Services, providing us with your personal information or accessing our Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and give your explicit, informed consent to the collection, use and processing of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not visit, use, register to, or otherwise access our Site or Services.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, unless such withdrawal would frustrate our ability to comply with a legal obligation. Your withdrawal may restrict our ability to provide our Services or access to our Site.

Limited circumstances where consent is not required:

  • When the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is permitted or required by law
  • In an emergency that threatens an individual's life, health or personal security
  • When the personal information is available from a public source
  • When we require legal advice from a lawyer
  • For the purposes of collecting debt
  • To protect ourselves from fraud
  • To investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or contravention of law

5. How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use your personal information to fulfill the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, and for purposes related thereto, and to provide the Services and access to our Site, including: within our organization, at your request or with your consent, to provide the Services to our Clients, and to companies that provide services to help us support business activities such as offering customer service or data processing.

Even though Semcasting Data is collected from publicly-available sources, opt-in mobile devices and purchased data from third-parties, Semcasting Data may include your personal information. Semcasting is compensated by our Clients for providing Clients with Semcasting Data, and this service may be considered a sale of personal information.

In certain situations, Semcasting may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also disclose your personal information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, bankruptcy proceedings, or similar legal process.

Our commitment: We do not rent, sell or share any personal information collected on the Site with third parties for direct marketing purposes.

Medical Information

Client Data we receive from certain of our Clients may include medical information necessary for us to perform our Services. We only use such medical information to provide our Services specified by the Client that provides such Client Data. Some of your rights and our obligations under this Privacy Policy may not apply to medical information that is covered under HIPAA; if your medical information is protected under HIPAA, your rights with respect to that data will be governed by HIPAA.

6. How We Secure Your Personal Information

The Site has industry standard security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. These protections include compliance with IAB, the Network Advertising Initiative, the HITRUST CSF and Trustwave.

In specific industries such as healthcare, finance, or industries where any sensitive information is to be associated with a digital ID, Semcasting requires that our Clients utilize methodologies to assure that all personally identifiable information is anonymized, encrypted and protected as required by applicable law.

We use a proprietary matching process to maintain the anonymity of all users. We require each of our Clients to state in their respective privacy policy that users' digital information is being collected in compliance with DMA/ANA and IAB guidelines, and for our Clients to allow users to opt-out on their websites.

7. Retention of Your Personal Information

Semcasting retains personal data we process on behalf of our Clients for as long as required to provide Services to our Client. Semcasting will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

8. How We May Update Our Privacy Policy

Semcasting reserves the right, at any time, and without notice, to add to, change, modify, or update this Privacy Policy by posting a revised policy on this Site. Any revised Privacy Policy shall be effective immediately on posting. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Whether or not our practices change, we will review this Privacy Policy at least once every twelve months.

9. Do Not Track

We, Semcasting and our partners, affiliates, or service providers, use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, website traffic logs and scripts, to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movements around the Site, and to gather demographic information about our user base. We may receive or generate reports based on the use of these technologies on an individual and aggregated basis.

We use cookies to support online advertising retargeting. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Site may be limited.

In addition to rejecting all cookies, if you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may selectively opt-out by clicking: optout.aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org (or if located in the European Union: youronlinechoices.eu).

We do not override any "do-not-track" signal from your web browser and will not collect or store your movements on our Sites if you use such a signal.

10. Child Privacy

It is not our intention to collect or use personal information from anyone under the age of sixteen, and we will not knowingly do so. If we are made aware that we have collected any personal information from minors and are asked to delete such information from our databases, we will promptly do so. Semcasting does not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under the age of 16.

11. Your Rights to Your Personal Information

Semcasting has no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data it processes on behalf of its Clients. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate (or all their) data should direct their query both to Semcasting's Client (the data controller) and Semcasting (the processor). We are only able to remove or revise your information located in Client Data we control.
