This privacy policy (referred to as Policy) discloses our privacy practices for our site, located at www.adcoin.com , and related mobile applications (collectively referred to as  Platform) and various related services (referred to as Services). This Policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect and how we collect, share, and use the information. The Policy applies to all of our Platform visitors, registered users, and subscribers. By accessing or using our Platform, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and other uses of your information as described in this Policy. Any reference to you, your, or user in this Policy shall mean the end-user of our Platform.

Irrespective of which country you reside in or supply information from, you authorize us to use your information in the United States and any other country where we may operate. We control and/or operate the Platform from offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that materials on the Platform are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

For Consumers who view an ad on a site that is a User of Adcoin

Data Collection of User Information

All users who receive an ad served by Adcoin retain complete anonymity where Adcoin is concerned. As ads are delivered, Adcoin does not acquire or collect any personal information about you. Your name, address, phone number, and email address all remain your private property, unless you choose to disclose them. Adcoin does, however, collect information that is specific to how you use the Internet. This non-personally identifying information can include, and is not limited to, the server you are logged onto, the geographic location of the ISP you use, the type of browser you use, or your IP address. This information is obtained solely for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring a given ad’s effectiveness on behalf of Adcoin’s clients and customers.

There are instances where a user may provide specific personal information in response to an ad containing a survey, purchase agreement, or registration questionnaire. For such programs, Adcoin (or a third party working in conjunction with Adcoin and the advertiser) acquires this information on behalf of the advertiser client. The client uses this information to deliver the goods or services requested by the user. When requested, Adcoin may employ this information in a compiled format without identifying users specifically to provide to the advertiser client precise profiles of the types of individuals responding to the ads.

Adcoin may use cookies to improve your Web browsing experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer for the purpose of identifying your web browser. When you are served an ad, Adcoin may assign in a cookie various information on ads you’ve seen, information on sites you’ve visited and activities performed to your computer browser. We do this to understand the way a user responds to the ads we deliver. For example, this information lets us keep track of how many times you view an ad we distribute. Likewise, the cookie can help make sure you do not see the same ad over and over – thus enhancing your online Web viewing experience.

Adcoin collects this information via our technology and it may be stored indefinitely for the purpose of: 1) analyzing campaign results, 2) ensuring that our technology is functioning properly, and 3) preventing fraud across our sites. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site or our member sites. We may obtain anonymous information about you – such as sites you have visited or products you have researched – from third-party sources, and combine it with data that we have collected to better target advertising that match your interests. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that use if you desire.

Types and disclosures of aggregate information

We may share aggregated information concerning our users, without attribution of Personal Information, to other companies with whom we conduct business. In other words, we may combine your anonymized data with those of all or a particular group of our users to prepare collective profiles of our users and their activities for our internal use and can share the same with our partners.

What do we do to keep your Personal Information secure?

We take commercially reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of your Personal Information that you share and we collect and store. These security measures include but are not limited to practices such as:

• Keeping sensitive or Personal Information on a secured server behind a firewall
• Using secure socket layer (SSL) technology
• Using regular Malware scanning
• Internal reviews of our data collection practices and platforms
• Physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store Personal Information

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Platform cannot be guaranteed and you transmit such information at your own risk; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

What can you do to protect your Personal Information?

While we are committed to taking all reasonable precautions to protect your Personal Information, there are steps you can take as well when using online services that include but are not limited to:

• Use only secure websites when disclosing information
• Create strong passwords and use them wisely (e.g. don’t use the same password for us that you use for your bank, for example)
• Never respond to unsolicited requests for social security number or financial information
• Do not disclose passwords to the Platform or Account Information to any other person.
• If logins are required for site access, be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer
• Be careful about disclosing personal information such as name, address, or e-mail address in discussion forums or other public areas of the sites. Any information disclosed in public user communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties
• Only upload photos and other public information if it is appropriate for such information to become public under the circumstances

Be aware when clicking on hypertext links and third party advertising, if any, on the Platform. Other sites accessible through our Platform, if any, via links or service partnerships have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. We encourage you to review other websites policies before revealing any sensitive or personal information. Additionally, if other companies place advertising on our Platform, they may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect. We cannot be and are not responsible for maintaining your privacy once you leave our Platform and are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.

What can you do if you no longer want to receive communications from us?

We will send you strictly service-related announcements on occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, or a new account enhancement is released, which will affect the way you work with us, we might send you an email.

Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account. You can deactivate your account by contacting Publisher Services and requesting that your account be closed. You can reach publisher services by email: support@adcoin.com.

Fair Information Practice Principles

The FTC created the Fair Information Practice Principles as a result of the Commission’s inquiry into the manner in which online entities collect and use personal information and safeguards to ensure that such practices are fair and provide adequate privacy protection. We take our own self-regulation very seriously and support your rights as a consumer to causes of action against disreputable and unprincipled data collectors and users. Consistent with the FTC’s Principles, and in the event of a data breach, we will do the following:

• Notify users by email within 2 business day(s)
• Notify users by posting a notice on our Platform within 2 business day(s)

• We will deliver an email announcement to the email address associated with each user account. It is each user’s responsibility to maintain a valid e-mail address as a registered user. If a user opts out of communications from us, they may not receive these notifications, however the changes will still govern any use of the Service, and users are still responsible for checking for any changes
• We will post a notice on this Platform prior to the change becoming effective
• We will post an updated Policy with a more recent effective date in the header
