A. Definition. “Confidential Information” means any and all business, technical and financial information or material of a party, whether revealed orally, visually, or in tangible or electronic form, that is not generally known to the public, which is disclosed to or made available by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other, or which one party becomes aware of pursuant to this Agreement (the “Receiving Party”). The AdInMo SDK is AdInMo’s Confidential Information, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain confidential. The failure of a Disclosing Party to designate as “confidential” any such information or material at the time of disclosure shall not result in a loss of status as Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is in or has entered the public domain through no breach of this Agreement or other act by a Receiving Party; (ii) a Receiving Party rightfully knew prior to the time that it was disclosed to a Receiving Party hereunder; (iii) a Receiving Party received without restriction from a third-party lawfully possessing and lawfully entitled to disclose such information without breach of this Agreement; or (iv) was independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.

The Receiving Party will use at least the efforts such party ordinarily uses with respect to its own confidential information of similar nature and importance to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information in its possession or control, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. The foregoing obligations will not restrict the Receiving Party from disclosing any Confidential Information required by applicable law; provided that, the Receiving Party must use reasonable efforts to give the Disclosing Party advance notice thereof (i.e., so as to afford Disclosing Party an opportunity to intervene and seek an order or other relief for protecting its Confidential Information from any unauthorized use or disclosure) and the Confidential Information is only disclosed to the extent required by law. The Receiving Party shall return all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party or destroy the same, no later than fifteen (15) days after Disclosing Party’s request, or when Receiving Party no longer needs Confidential Information for its authorized purposes hereunder.

AdInMo shall process and Developer hereby grants AdInMo a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicenseable right and license to use, copy, modify, distribute and otherwise exploit Ad Data for the following purposes: (a) accessing or calling the Developer Apps, or the servers that make them available, to cause the routing, serving, displaying, targeting, and tracking the performance of AdInMo Ads on the Developer Apps; (b) building and storing profiles of end users; (c) using Ad Data for AdInMo’s internal business purposes, including to develop and improve the AdInMo SDK and AdInMo Platform; (e) for any other purposes identified in the AdInMo Privacy Policy; and/or (d) disclosing Ad Data (i) to third parties (including Demand Partners) as reasonably necessary in connection with the operation of the AdInMo Platform, (ii) if required by any court order, process, law or governmental agency; and/or (iii) generally when it is aggregated, such that the specific information relating to Developer or any underlying end user is not directly identifiable (“Permitted Purposes“).
3. Relationship of the Parties
To the extent the Ad Data contains Personal Data, AdInMo shall process such data as a separate and independent Controller (where applicable Privacy Requirements recognize such concept) and only for the Permitted Purposes. In no event will the parties process Personal Data under this Agreement as joint Controllers. Nothing in the Agreement (including this Addendum) shall limit or prevent AdInMo from collecting or using data that AdInMo would otherwise collect and process independently of Developer’s use of the AdInMo Platform and AdInMo SDK.
4. Developer’s Responsibilities
4.1. Privacy Notice.
(a) Developer represents and warrants that it shall conspicuously post, maintain, and abide by a publically accessible privacy notice within the Developer App that satisfies the transparency and information requirements of the Privacy Requirements and the Agreement (including this Addendum). If notice cannot be provided in or around AdInMo Ads, then Developer should make arrangements to provide notice within the Developer App or on the landing page of the AdInMo Ad.
(b) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, such notice shall, at a minimum, include clear and comprehensive information about the following: (i) AdInMo and its Demand Partner’s use of Tracking Technology to collect use and share Ad Data; (ii) the fact that third parties may collect or receive Personal Data and use that Personal Data to provide measurement services and targeted ads; (iii) a conspicuous link to or description of how and where users can opt-out of collection and use of information for ad targeting; and (vi) a description of the types of Ad Data (including Personal Data) that are collected and how and for what purposes the Ad Data collected will be used or transferred to third parties.
(c) To the extent Ad Data is protected by EU Data Protection Law, Developer further warrants and represents that the privacy notice provided pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (above) shall also include the following information: (i) the type of Personal Data collected by AdInMo and its Demand Partners and the purposes of processing thereof;(ii) the categories of individuals who will have access to the Personal Data; (iii) where applicable, the legitimate interests pursued by AdInMo and/or its Demand Partners; (iv) the identity of the Controller(s); and (v) and any other information required to comply with the transparency requirements of the EU Data Protection Law.
4.2. Notice and Consent. Developer represents and warrants it has provided (and shall maintain) all required notices and obtained all necessary permissions and consents in accordance with the Privacy Requirements from the relevant data subjects (including any age gating and/or parental consent required by applicable Privacy Requirements) on behalf of AdInMo and all applicable Demand Partners to lawfully permit: (a) AdInMo and all applicable Demand Partners to collect, process and share Ad Data; and (b) deploy Tracking Technologies in order to collect Ad Data from the devices of end users served with AdInMo Ads, in each case for the purposes contemplated by this Addendum.
4.3. Consent Mechanism. Where Developer is responsible for obtaining consent in accordance with Section 4.2 above, Developer shall, at all times, make available, maintain and make operational on the Developer Properties: (i) a mechanism for obtaining such consent from data subjects in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Requirements; and (ii) a mechanism for data subjects to withdraw such consent (opt-out) in accordance with the Privacy Requirements.
4.4. Consent Records. Where Developer is responsible for obtaining consent in accordance with Section 4.2 above, Developer shall maintain a record of all consents obtained from data subjects as required by the Privacy Requirements, including the time and date on which consent was obtained, the information presented to data subjects in connection with their giving consent, and details of the mechanism used to obtain consent. Developer shall maintain a record of the same information in relation to all withdrawals of consent by data subjects. Developer shall make these records available to AdInMo promptly upon request. If Developer is unable to comply with its notice and consent obligations under this Addendum, Developer shall promptly notify AdInMo and AdInMo may elect to perform any one or all of the obligations provided Developer does not prevent AdInMo from performing such obligations. In the event neither party is able to perform such obligations, AdInMo shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without liability upon written notice.
4.5. Prohibited Data Sharing. Developer shall not: (i) share with AdInMo any Personal Data that allows users of Developer Apps to be directly identified (for example, by reference to their name or email address); and (ii) pass to AdInMo any personal data of children (as such term is defined under applicable Privacy Requirements), unless expressly agreed in writing and as permitted under Privacy Requirements. Upon request, AdInMo shall provide Developer with such reasonable assistance as Developer may require to enable Developer to provide such notice and obtain such consents.
5. Co-operation and Data Subject Rights
The parties shall, on request, provide each other with all reasonable and timely assistance (at their own expense) to enable the other to comply with its obligations under the Privacy Requirements, specifically in order to enable the other to respond to: (i) any request from a data subject to exercise any of its rights under EU Data Protection Law (including its rights of access, correction, objection, erasure and data portability, as applicable) in relation to the Ad Data (“Data Subject Rights“); and (ii) any other correspondence, inquiry, or complaint received from a data subject, regulator, or other third party in connection with the processing of the Ad Data. Each party shall promptly inform the other if it receives any request directly from a data subject to exercise a Data Subject Right in relation to the Ad Data. Subject to obligations of confidentiality and polices on disclosure of information, where a party has a concern that the other party has not complied with this Addendum, the parties agree to exchange information to ascertain the cause of such non-compliance and take reasonable steps to remediate.
6. International Transfers
To the extent that AdInMo processes (or causes to be processed) any Personal Data protected by EU Data Protection Law and/or originating from the EEA (including the United Kingdom) (“EEA Personal Data“) in a country outside of the EEA, it shall first take all such measures as are necessary to ensure an adequate level of protection for such EEA Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of EU Data Protection Law. For these purposes, the parties acknowledge and agree that AdInMo shall provide adequate protection for any EEA Personal Data by virtue of AdInMo having self-certified its compliance with the Privacy Shield. AdInMo agrees to protect EEA Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Shield Principles.
7. AdInMo Data
To the extent AdInMo shares any Personal Data with Developer in connection with the AdInMo SDK and AdInMo Platform, the parties agree that (i) Developer shall process such data as a separate and independent Controller (where applicable Privacy Requirements recognize such concept) for the limited purpose of performance under this Agreement consistent with the consents given by the data subjects; and (ii) Developer shall be independently responsible for the obligations that apply to it as a Controller under the Privacy Requirements. Developer further acknowledges that AdInMo is self-certifying its compliance to the Privacy Shield and may transfer to Developer Personal Data protected by EU Data Protection Laws. To the extent Developer processes any such data, Developer agrees to provide the same level of protection for such Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles. Developer shall notify AdInMo if it makes a determination that it can no longer provide such protection and in such event, shall cease processing or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate (if remediable) any processing until such time as the processing meets the level of protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles.
8. Security
Both parties shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the copy of the Personal Data in their possession or control (i) from accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to the Personal Data.
9. Miscellaneous
9.1. If Developer is unable to comply with its consent and notice obligations under the Agreement (including this Addendum) in respect of Personal Data or the Privacy Requirements, Developer shall promptly notify AdInMo.
9.2 AdInMo reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Agreement should Developer violate this Addendum.
9.3. This Addendum shall survive termination or expiry of the Agreement. Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, AdInMo may continue to process the Ad Data provided that such processing complies with the requirements of this Addendum and the Privacy Requirements. Except for the changes made by this Addendum, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between any provision in this Addendum and any provision in the Agreement, this Addendum controls and takes precedence. With effect from the Effective date, this Addendum is part of, and incorporated into the Agreement. To the extent there are any prior agreements with regard to the subject matter of this Addendum, this Addendum supersedes and replaces such prior agreements.
