How do we use your data ?

Audion collects your data, with your consent, to provide you with relevant and personalised advertising. We use this to promote products or services that are likely to be of interest to you, in particular those that reflect your browsing behaviour and including the criteria listed above. Audion may place personalised advertising on the webpages or applications you browse through that are edited by publishers, based on the data collected with your consent. The data collected is also used for reporting purposes, so that we can provide Audion customers and/or partners with aggregated and non-personal information in connection with the performance of the advertising campaigns carried out by Audion.

Who processes your data ?

Audion does not transfer your personal data to third parties for processing for the purposes described. However, if necessary, we do transfer your data if there are legal grounds for such processing. On some occasions, we do disclose data to some of our business partners to provide our audio advertising services: Google Cloud Platform – Google LLP - as provider of the server infrastructure. Audion only works with providers that guarantee full compliance with the obligations required under GDPR, and the contracts we sign for subcontracting data processing comply with this regulation. The process carried out by the aforementioned providers is governed by the privacy policies of each provider, which you can access from their websites and/or mobile applications.

Where is your data processed ?

The data collected and processed by Audion is processed within the European Union. However, in the event relations of Audion and our partners would involve cross-border exchanges of personal data outside of the European Union (and in particular in the United States), Audion will ensure that such transfers offer a protection level in compliance with European requirements (by entering with its partners into the Standard Contractual Causes adopted by the European Commission, and/or by the adhesion of such partners located in the United States to the Privacy Shield).

How long is your data stored ?

Audion stores your data for a maximum of thirteen (13) months following the date of its collection. Shorter durations are also implemented, to make sure data is not kept for longer than necessary in a form that identifies a person.

How do we protect your data ?

Audion undertakes all necessary precautions to preserve the security of data, in particular that the data is not communicated to unauthorised persons. The personal data we collect is kept in a secure environment. People working for us are required to respect the confidentiality of your data. We are committed to maintaining a high degree of confidentiality by incorporating the latest technological innovations to ensure the confidentiality of your transactions. However, since no mechanism offers maximum security, there is always a risk involved when using the Internet to transmit personal data.
