This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) informs about Personal Information processed

which is for the purpose of providing certain advertising related services for our
Customers.

This Privacy Policy also informs about information collected from this website,
www.admarketplace.com, which serves two basic functions. First, it has
information about our Services as well as online advertising generally. Second, it is a portal

Customer-only materials through secure log-in.

This Privacy Policy does not relate to Customer business information shared with us (e.g.,
billing or contact details). As well, it does not relate to information shared by employees or
other staff, or by applicants for positions with our company. You may reach your business
or HR contact for inquiries related to such information).

1. Our Commitment to Data Privacy

It is of critical importance to us to keep the information we collect secure. adMarketplace is
also committed to protecting the privacy of consumers and observes compliance with
applicable laws, including the EU’s and United Kingdom’s Data Protection Regulation
("GDPR") and various state privacy laws in the United States including CCPA (“US Privacy
Laws”) and relevant laws of other countries and/or regions, collectively referred to as
“Data Protection Laws”. As our practices evolve, this Privacy Policy may be revised to
reflect those changes. Notice of such amendments will be posted as an updated notice on
this website. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically in order to keep up to date with

they search for or indicate intent to learn more about or engage with our Customers’
