Applicable policies, laws, rules, and regulations
This policy covers TripleLift’s collection and use of personal information about non-employees for corporate functions, such as marketing and recruiting, and unless otherwise specified does not apply to the collection and use of information by any third party.
We collect and use information for the purposes for which it was collected and consistent with this policy, any disclosures that were made in association with the collection, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Sometimes we will make disclosures at the time of collection – for example on a sign-up form for an email list or webinar. To the extent that those disclosures may be different from the terms of this policy, those disclosures will apply.
When we collect or receive information from a third-party, such as from a job recruiting site, your provision of and our access to information will be governed by those parties’ own policies and applicable laws.

For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland
Under the laws of the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, certain data we collect is considered to be “personal data.” We may have certain obligations and you may have certain rights with respect to this data.
International Transfer
TripleLift is a global company headquartered in the United States with data centers located in the United States, Europe and Asia.
If you visit digital content that uses our technology, your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in our facilities in the United States and other countries and by those third parties to whom we may transmit or disclose your information, as described above.
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent laws, some countries may be deemed to not provide an adequate level of data protection for your information.
When we transfer data outside of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we ensure that appropriate protections are in place under European data protection legislation. These protections may include technical measures, such as removing personal data, or a legal mechanism such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. In case of any conflict between the terms in this policy and such mechanism, the terms of the transfer mechanism shall govern.
EU-US Data Privacy Framework
The Data Privacy Framework (EU-US, UK-US, and Swiss-US) is another mechanism intended for transfer of personal data from Europe to the US. TripleLift has certified to the US Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Data Privacy Framework principles and complies with its obligations under the program for data regarding EEA, UK, or Swiss individuals that is transferred to the US. You can find more information about the Data Privacy Framework, including a list of companies that participate, such as TripleLift, on the US Department of Commerce’s Data Privacy Framework website.
TripleLift is accountable for information that it receives under the Data Privacy Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party. Triple Lift may transfer personal information collected as described in this Privacy Policy. TripleLift may also transfer other information that meets the definition of “personal data” in the Data Privacy Framework to service providers and to its customers and partners, as described above. If we share personal data covered by the Data Privacy Framework with a third-party service provider that processes the data solely on our behalf, then we will be liable for that third party’s processing of such data in violation of the Data Privacy Framework Principles, unless we can prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Additionally, TripleLift may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
TripleLift commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information under the Data Privacy Framework. Individuals who have inquiries or complaints under Data Privacy Framework should first contact triplelift@privacy.com.
