Privacy Policy

DBG collects data on each campaign that is run on its network to create a better viewing experience for end users.  This is done through the use of cookies and pixels and provides DBG the ability to create an ID to match collected data to an anonymous machine including:

• the URLs (or website address) of web pages which have been viewed
• the date and time of visit to a web page

This collection occurs whether the user clicked on an advertiser's ad, visited their website, or interacted in another way.

Session Information
This information collected relates to user, campaign and interest-based history.  It is used for frequency capping and interest targeting. This information is gathered from websites visited and clicks registered by the user’s machine.

Request-based Information
Request-based information is transmitted to DBG by the user’s computer browser with every request and is stored entirely anonymously for statistical purposes only.  This information includes IP (Internet Protocol) address.  This cannot be traced to an individual user but can be used for geographic targeting and statistical measurements.  DBG does not share, rent or sell any of the data acquired from third party sources.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
DBG does not collect any personally identifiable information. The IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau), a trade association for the internet marketing industry, defines personally identifiable information as "information that can be traced back to a specific user and provide personal information such as name, address, phone number, etc."  In other words, it's information about a user that can identify him or her as a person rather than an anonymous profile.  All of DBG's profiles are anonymous, and relate to a computer rather than a user. For DBG, they are nothing more than a number with which we associate interests and/or an estimated or inferred demographic profile.

Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored within a folder on a user's computer and are used only by the individual's Internet browser. Most websites use cookies to identify users and improve the user experience.  The general definition of spyware/adware is that of a software package installed on your computer for purposes of monitoring all your internet or general computer activity. DBG does not install software of any kind on a user's computer and it has no ability to monitor or track a user's general computer or overall internet usage. Cookies can be easily avoided by opting out from them, or adjusting your browser settings.
