What Information Do We Collect and Why?

We do not collect name, email address or contact information from end users. However, in order to operate the Ad Geyser Mobile Services and to display ads to end users we may automatically collect certain information from end users within a single mobile application, including:

• Language information, device make and model, device connection, height and width of device, device volume, time zone and city, state-level location information, and operating system type, name, and version;
• Information about the mobiles apps that a user currently has installed on their device;
• Information about the ads an end-user has already been displayed, so that we can optimize the ads we display later.

We use various tracking technologies to collect this information, such as pixel tags, pixel impression trackers from services such as Flurry, and other mobile tracking technologies. We may also receive a list of unique identifiers from Publishers and Advertisers, which we may use to determine to what end users to display (or not display) certain ads.
