Underdog Media, LLC, provides online publishers and marketers (our “Clients”) with products and technologies (“Products”, or “Technology”) that provide monetization solutions for our publisher clients and marketing opportunities for our marketing clients.
Underdog Media provides this privacy policy to online consumers regarding how our Technology (https://udmserve.net) collects and uses consumer data. This privacy policy also outlines how users can opt-out of data collection by Underdog Media. This policy also covers privacy practices and data collection on our marketing website ( https://underdogmedia.com) and our Publisher Dashboard (https://underdogmedia.com/login/).
Privacy Practices
Underdog Media’s Publisher monetization products place digital advertising from our Marketing partners on our Publishers’ websites via our ad placements. As a part of this process we record information that an ad was requested or delivered to the webpage. This information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and is used for reporting and accounting purposes.
Data Our Technology Collects through Client Websites via udmserve.net
Personally and Non-Personally identifiable information
Personally Identifiable Information (PII):
Underdog Media does not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or information used or intended to identify an individual. This type of information or PII typically includes things like: your name, email address, phone number, mailing address or social security number. Again, we do not collect this form of information and simply put using your Personal Information to sell digital advertisements is not our business.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII):
Underdog Media does collect some forms of Non-Personally Identifiable Information or what we refer to as Log Data. This data is collected primarily for the purpose of protecting our Marketing clients from fraudulent traffic through the identification of Invalid Traffic (IVT) or Non-Human Traffic (NHT). As part of our efforts to identify this type of online fraud, Underdog Media will analyze Log Data for a period of 7 days, while our systems look for signatures of suspicious activity. After the 7-day period Log Data is then deleted. Some examples of Log Date include: the referring http location from the page our Underdog Media ad placement or technology was placed, the IP Address, browser type, operating system, and a timestamp of these related events.
