5. Personalized advertising
When you browse our platform, relevant information about your online behavior and preferences is collected. This information is valuable because it helps us and our partners to formulate ads that better match your interests and needs. Rather than receiving generic ads, collecting and analyzing this data enables us to present you with more relevant and engaging ads.
We work with a range of specialized partners who assist us in creating these tailored ads. These entities may deploy tools, such as pixels and unique identifiers, to capture information about your browsing habits, clicks and interactions with various content.
This data, while accurate, is usually amalgamated with data from other users. This aggregation process forms sets of information that map out typical profiles (such as “classical music lover” or “frequent traveler”). Our partners then use these profiles to refine their advertising strategies, ensuring that the ads you see are in line with your tastes and preferences.
In addition, this information may be used by our partners to:
- Enhance and personalize the display of ads on other platforms or third-party sites;
- Evaluate the relevance and impact of advertising campaigns, whether via web platforms or e-mail communications;
- Analyze and report on traffic trends, advertising-related statistics and general interactions with various content.
With regard to retention, our partners process your data according to their commercial and regulatory needs. Once this usefulness has been exhausted, data may be stored in secure form, anonymized or, in some cases, deleted in accordance with applicable standards. Aggregated data, which does not allow you to be directly identified, may be kept indefinitely for ongoing analysis and improvement.
