PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy outlines how Tongsheng entities (for purposes of European data protection laws, Tongsheng entities offering the Tongsheng Advertising Service that fall under GDPR can be viewed HERE, collectively referred to as Tongsheng, or “we”, “us”, “our”) collect and handle your information through our advertising platform (“Advertising Service”) and our website at www.tongshengco.com (“Site” or “Website”). This Privacy Policy is subject to any service agreement between you and Tongsheng. By accessing or using the Advertising Service or this Site, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Please ensure you review this Privacy Policy before using the Advertising Service or visiting this Site.

We regularly review our privacy policies and procedures to make improvements and refinements. This Privacy Policy will be updated as needed, at least once every 12 months. Should any significant changes occur, we will provide a prominent notice on this Site before those changes take effect.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy covers the collection and processing of information in connection with Tongsheng’s Advertising Service when you: (i) are shown advertisements delivered through the Service; (ii) engage with Tongsheng’s Advertising Service; or (iii) interact with platforms, applications, websites, or other services operated by Tongsheng’s business partners, such as publishers or advertisers. For the purposes of European data protection regulations, Tongsheng acts as the data controller of your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

When you view or interact with advertisements delivered by Tongsheng’s Advertising Service, or use services provided by Tongsheng’s business partners, we and/or our partners may collect certain personal information. This may include device and technical information (such as device type, operating system, IP address, advertising identifiers, browser details), approximate location data, usage and interaction data, and transactional information related to your activity within applications, websites, or services. We may also collect device event and log data, including crash reports, system activity, and request metadata. In addition, when advertisers or publishers use our advertising platform, we may collect account-related information such as email address, login credentials, IP address, and contact details.

3. How Your Information Is Used

We use your personal information to deliver advertising on your device, including interest-based ads tailored to inferred interests, preferences, and approximate location. You may opt out of interest-based advertising at any time (click here, or if you are located in the European Union, click here). Please note that opting out does not stop advertising and you may continue to receive non-personalized ads. Where required by law, publishers obtain your consent on our behalf for the processing of personal information, and you may withdraw such consent at any time.

Where necessary for our legitimate interests, we use personal information to analyze usage patterns, improve and optimize our Advertising Service, and to prevent fraud and monitor traffic quality in order to fulfill our contractual obligations to advertisers and publishers.

We may also process personal information as required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.

4. How We Share Personal Information

We may share your personal information with our business partners, including advertisers, publishers, and analytics or measurement partners, for purposes such as delivering advertisements, measuring ad and site interactions, and analyzing traffic and user behavior. Such partners’ use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose personal information to our affiliates and to trusted service providers and agents who process information on our behalf and solely for the services they provide to us. In addition, we may share aggregated or anonymized information with third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, including in response to legal processes or governmental requests, or where necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others. Your personal information may also be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or other corporate transaction.

5. International Data Transfers

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), personal information collected from you, including through our Advertising Service, may be transferred to and processed by recipients located in countries outside the EEA. These countries may not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that provided within the EEA and may include, among others, China, the United States, India, Korea, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Canada, France, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Brazil. Where required by applicable law, publishers and/or advertisers will obtain your consent for such international transfers, and you may withdraw your consent at any time.

To safeguard international transfers within our group, Tongsheng has implemented EU standard contractual clauses (“Standard Contractual Clauses”) with its affiliates. You may request a copy of these clauses by contacting us at privacy@tongshengco.com

6. Your Data Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data, to object to processing, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), including the right to request information about the personal data we have collected, used, shared, or sold during the past 12 months, to request a copy of your personal information, and to request deletion of your data. You also have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information and to exercise these rights without discrimination.

You may submit requests by contacting us at privacy@tongshengco.com or, where applicable, by using the “Do Not Sell My Data” link. These rights are subject to legal limitations, and we may need to verify your identity and residency before processing your request.

7. Security of Your Personal Information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include physical, technical, and administrative safeguards in line with applicable laws and industry standards, such as firewalls, encryption, access controls, and secure data storage facilities. Physical access to our systems is strictly restricted and monitored.

We also seek to minimize the amount of sensitive personal data we collect and store, and require appropriate data protection commitments from our partners.

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill legal or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and applicable legal requirements.

8. Children’s Privacy

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through websites or applications directed to children.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, they should contact us promptly. Upon verification, we will take reasonable steps to remove such information from our records.

9. Marketing Communications

We may send you marketing communications by email about our products, services, or related content, where permitted by law. Where required, such communications will be sent only with your consent.

You may opt out of receiving marketing emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the messages or by contacting us at privacy@tongshengco.com .
