Privacy Policy

We are 100% committed to keep your personal data safe

Flexmedia.mobi (“Flexmedia”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides digital advertising services. This Privacy Statement is provided to help you understand how Flexmedia processes personal data on behalf of customers who use our services. It does not state the use practices or policies of our clients, of apps on which ads are shown, or of other parties.

Flexmedia and our customers care about how personal data is collected, used, and shared. We are a “data sub-processor” that collects and analyzes personal data at the specific request of our customers (data controllers), through third party Mobile Measuring Platforms that act as “data processors”.

Flexmedia also collaborates with Programmatic Ad Exchanges that act as “data controllers”. In this scenario, we are “data processors” (and “data co-controllers” in some specific cases). This means we collect and securely forward data to be used for attribution to third party Mobile Measuring Platforms.

Our Business

Flexmedia’s technology powers advertisements that can appear on web sites and applications on mobile phones or other devices connected to the mobile internet. You may interact directly with our servers (for example, when you click on an ad) or indirectly via the mobile web site or application that displays the ads.

Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information about personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable person. This includes information and details such as your name, home address or other postal address, telephone number and also your e-mail address. In the context of Flexmedia, personal data mostly refers to a smartphone device ID such as Google Advertising ID for Android phones or IDFA for iPhones, and IP address.

  • with regard to data communicated in forms, etc. with your consent, Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR;

Purposes of use

Personal data will only be collected and processed by Flexmedia to the extent and for the purpose 1) for which it was provided by the Data Controller or, 2) in the cases where we are acting as “Data Co-controller”, declared in written contracts with our partners, with explicit consent from the Data Subject.

Details on how to do this vary based on your mobile device operating system and browser, but common cases can be addressed as follows:

Web analysis

Like almost all website operators, we use analytical tools in the form of tracking software to ascertain the number of users using our website and how frequently they visit.

To enable us to optimise our website and our service, we use Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses what are known as “cookies”: these are text files stored on your computer and used to analyse your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, within member states of the European Union, or in other states that are party to the agreement on the European Economic Area Google first abbreviates your IP address.

The full IP address will only be transmitted in exceptional circumstances to one of Google's servers in the USA, where it will then be abbreviated. Google will use this information on behalf of our website operator to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports about website activities for the website operator and to perform other services connected with the use of the website and of the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged or combined with other data by Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored by applying the appropriate settings in your browser software; please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent.

You may also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie referring to your website usage (including your IP address), and from processing these data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data in this website in future (the opt-out only works in this browser, and only for this domain). This stores an opt-out cookie on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you need to click on this link again. Further information is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en or at www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and data protection).
