This Website Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) describes how Vistar Media, Inc. (“Vistar,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), processes personal information in relation to:
- Our website, vistarmedia.com (the “Website”),
- Our platforms that allow our clients to plan and execute campaigns on our core services (“Platforms”), and
- Any other website or application belonging to or affiliated with Vistar Media that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).
This Privacy Notice describes how we collect, use, share, and secure the personal information we collect via the Sites and describes your choices regarding use, access, correction, and deletion of such personal information.
This Privacy Notice applies to only information collected with respect to the Sites. It does not apply to our core services that help our clients identify where, and when, to place advertisements on mobile and digital-out-of-home media to reach their desired audiences. You can read more about how we collect, use, and share personal information in the course of providing our core services by reading our Services Privacy Policy.
“Personal information” is information that identifies, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or can reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a natural person and, where required by law, a household. This Privacy Notice does not apply to anonymous, de-identified, or aggregate personal information. We do not, and will not attempt to, re-identify de-identified information.
1. How We Collect Personal Information
We collect personal information from you when you use the Sites, and the information we collect depends on the way in which you interact with the Sites. We may collect information directly from you, such as when you create an account on our Platform, and we may automatically collect information by using cookies or other technologies. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information from other commercially-available sources (where permitted by law). We describe the types of information we collect and the sources in more detail below.
We may collect some personal information to satisfy our legal obligations or as necessary to enter into and perform our contractual relationship with you. Failure to provide such information may prevent or delay us from providing you the Sites.
1.1.Information You Provide
We collect the following categories of personal information directly from you when you use the Sites:
-
- Identifiers, such as your name, address, country of residence, phone number, or email address;
- Professional Information such as your job title or company;
- Your preferences, such as how often you wish to receive marketing or other communications
1.2.Information We Collect Automatically
We and our third party service providers use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies (“Cookies”) to collect information about you automatically as you use the Sites. We collect the following categories of information automatically when you use the Sites:
-
- Identifiers, such as your IP (Internet Protocol) address, your browser type, your operating system, or domain name;
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as the dates and times you used the Sites and the way in which you accessed them;
We may combine this information with other information that we collect about you.
We may use software on our Sites that collect data from your device in order to help us analyze how users navigate and use the Sites.

We use such data solely for internal analytical purposes.

Where permitted by law, we may also send you information about products or services that we believe might be of interest to you, including products or services offered by third parties

- Comply with the legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject and cooperate with regulators and law enforcement bodies.

Certain jurisdictions, including the European Union, have laws that require us to have a “legal basis” to process your personal information. Where required by applicable law, we rely on one of the following legal bases to justify our processing of your personal information:
- to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, for example to provide access to Platforms and other Sites that you request and to ensure that invoices are delivered or paid correctly. Failure to provide personal information necessary to perform a contract may prevent or delay the fulfillment of our contractual obligations;
- to comply with our legal obligations, for example to respond to legally binding requests from regulators, law enforcement authorities, or other government authorities;
- to meet our legitimate interests, for example to understand how you use the Sites and to enable us to derive knowledge that enables us to develop new offerings. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place safeguards to protect your privacy and to determine that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms; and
- to exercise our legal rights where it is necessary to do so, for example to detect, prevent and respond to fraud claims, intellectual property infringement claims, or other violations of law.
We may obtain your consent to collect and use certain types of personal information when we are required to do so by law (for example, in relation to some direct marketing activities, to our use of Cookies in the European Union, or to our processing sensitive personal information). If we ask for your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw, where permitted by law, your consent contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

- Legal Compliance and Protection of Our Rights: We may share information with regulators, law enforcement, government authorities, and other third parties where we believe it necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, including a court order, subpoena, and regulatory request. We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure will help us protect our rights, enforce our Terms of Service, protect our safety and security or that of you or any third party, or detect, prevent, or respond to fraud or intellectual property infringement.
- Transfer of Business Assets. We may share your personal information with any third party involved in the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of Vistar or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.

Because we operate as part of a global business, the recipients referred to above may be located outside the jurisdiction in which you are located (or in which we provide the services). See the section on “International Transfers of Personal Information” below for more information.
4. Your Choices
There are many ways to opt out of receiving targeted advertising that our clients may facilitate using our Platform or other technology. Different devices use different technologies and identifiers, so users must separately opt out from each browser and device. Once you opt out of targeted advertising, your personal information will no longer be processed for targeted advertising on that device or browser.
Mobile Apps and Location Data
Your mobile device may give you the ability to opt out of the use of information regarding the apps that you use for targeted advertising. You may opt out of the collection of location information by specific apps or from your entire device at any time by changing your preferences on your mobile device. For more information regarding your preferences and options, please see the link found here http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice and in the Cookies, Tracking, and Interest-Based Advertising section below.
- Cookies, Tracking, and Interest-Based / Targeted Advertising
If you would like to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Sites or some of its functionality may be affected.
For clarity, cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. Additionally, if you opt out on one of your devices, that opt out may not be effective on all of your devices. You must separately opt out on each device.
Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on some mobile services. Users may opt out of certain advertisements on mobile applications or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings. To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, click on the following links:
iOS - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074
Android - https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
You may also download and set your preferences on the DAA’s App Choices mobile application(s) provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) available in Google Play or the Apple App stores to opt-out of behavioral advertising from DAA members.
- Do Not Track
Some browsers have a “do not track” (also known as DNT) feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Please note that, unless required by law, we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, we treat Global Privacy Control signals as opt-out of sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising requests under the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act, and as opt-out of processing for targeted advertising requests under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act.
Subject to local law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include, depending on the circumstances, the rights to access your personal information, rectify the information we hold about you, erase your personal information, restrict our use of your personal information, object to our use of your personal information, receive your personal information in a usable electronic format and transmit it to a third party (right to data portability), receive additional information regarding the sources from which we collect information, the purposes for which we collect and share personal information, the information of yours we hold, and the categories of parties with whom we share your information, lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, and withdraw any consent you have given.

You may exercise your rights without fear of being denied goods or services. We may, however, provide a different level of service or charge a different rate as permitted by applicable law. If you are a registered user of our Platforms, you can access your personal account information and make changes through your account.
5. Information Security And Storage
We have put in place safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and maintain the security of your personal information. Despite these protections, however, we cannot guarantee that your data will be 100% secure. You should take measures to protect your personal information.
We retain your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period after the relationship has ended. When determining how long to keep your personal information, we consider how long we need to retain the information to fulfill the purposes described above and to comply with our legal obligations, including regulatory obligations. We may also retain personal information to investigate or defend against potential legal claims in accordance with the limitation periods of countries where legal action may be brought.
6. International Transfers Of Personal Information
We may transfer, process, and store your personal information outside of your home country, including in the United States and Canada, which may not have the same level of data protection as your home country. If you are resident in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) this may include the transfer of your personal information from within the EEA to a country outside of the EEA. Where required, we have implemented appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as implementing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. For more information on the safeguards we use, please contact Privacy@VistarMedia.com.
7. Links To Other Sites
Our site includes links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from our practices. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements.

IF YOU ARE SITUATED IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND, OR THE UNITED KINGDOM, THIS SECTION APPLIES TO OUR COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND ADDITIONAL RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Legal Basis
We will only use your personal data, as that term is defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where you have consented to a certain use of your personal data.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
To the extent permitted under applicable laws, we will also process, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary.
Data Controller
Vistar is the data controller of all personal data collected through our Website. To contact us, please see the section titled Contacting Us.
If you are situated in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK and have any complaints regarding our privacy practices, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to your local supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach your supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance. If you have a complaint, please contact our privacy manager here: Privacy@VistarMedia.com.
Provision of personal data and failure to provide personal data
Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). In this case, we may not be able to provide certain services to you.
Collection of personal data from third-party sources
We may obtain personal data and other information about you public sources and through our third-party partners who help us provide our products and services to you. Withdrawing your consent
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at Privacy@VistarMedia.com.
Data Transfer
We may transfer personal data from the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK to the United States and other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission or the UK to have an adequate level of data protection. Where we use certain vendors, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission or the UK Secretary of State which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For more information about how we transfer your data, please contact us at Privacy@VistarMedia.com.
Use of your personal data for marketing purposes
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising:
- Promotional offers from us: We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or used our services and, in each case, you have consented to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes.
Data Subject Rights
If you are situated in the European Union, Switzerland, or the UK, under the GDPR, as a data subject, you have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
To exercise your rights under the GDPR, please contact us at Privacy@VistarMedia.com. Please note that in order for you to assert these rights, we may need to verify your identity to confirm your right to access your personal data. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In order to verify your identity, we may need to gather more personal data from you than we currently have.
