About Criteo
Criteo (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides digital services that enable “advertisers” — like brands and retailers — to promote products and services on websites, apps and other platforms operated by “publishers”.
Criteo displays ads that are the most relevant to Internet users, without directly identifying them, based on products and services they have previously viewed, put in their digital shopping carts or purchased. Criteo can also display ads based on the content of a webpage a user is visiting or the app they are using.
As an Internet user, you may encounter ads for products and services that might interest you on websites, apps, and platforms that use our technologies.
About this Notice
This Ads Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect data when you visit and use websites, apps or platforms that incorporate our technologies. You can find out if an advertiser or publisher uses Criteo by looking up their privacy policy, cookie policy or cookie banner.
This Notice is intended to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws in the countries where we operate, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and equivalent national laws in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. In the United States, this Notice serves as a Notice at Collection of your personal information according to applicable US State privacy laws.
This Notice only applies to data collected through Criteo’s ad technologies. It does not apply to the use of your data on Criteo-owned websites or in the context of business relationships, which is governed by Criteo’s Corporate Privacy Notice. It also does not apply to the use of your data as part of recruitment processes, which is governed by Criteo’s Job Applicants Privacy Notice.
Who is the controller of your data?
Criteo, advertisers, and/or publishers act as joint data controllers (or “businesses”) for the processing activity consisting in storing or reading information (e.g., cookies, device identifiers) on your device when our technology is used on their properties. Criteo acts as a sole data controller (or “business”) for processing carried out for the purpose of performing its online advertising activities.
Criteo also works with partners when providing its ads services. These partners act as data controllers (or “businesses”) in their own right and process personal data according to their own terms and under their own responsibility.

What data do we process about you?
To provide our ads services, we only process pseudonymized, technical information, and limited commerce-related events listed in the table below — not information that directly identifies you such as your name or email address.

We retain data for 13 months from the date of collection to maintain continuity in advertising campaigns and reporting, after which data is deleted or aggregated.
How do we protect your data?
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk presented by the processing of your personal data.

Access controls to systems and data on a need-to-know basis
Encryption and secure storage of data where appropriate
Regular monitoring and testing of our security measures

Procedures for responding to suspected data breaches
We also require our service providers and partners who process personal data on our behalf to implement appropriate security measures in line with applicable legal requirements and best practices.
