DoubleVerify is the industry leader in providing transparency and accountability in online advertising. Our accredited platforms Solutions provide independent, digital media measurement, data and analytics about ad impression delivery and website traffic to advertisers and advertising inventory sellers (together “Customers”).

As used in this Websites & Marketing Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” means information that relates to an identified individual or to an identifiable individual.

This Websites & Marketing Privacy applies to individuals (“you” and “your”) who: (i) may be visitors of the DoubleVerify websites, such as www.doubleverify.com, (together “Websites”) and (ii) may come in contact with any of our marketing and sales related efforts or activities (“Marketing Activities”) The purpose of this Websites & Marketing Privacy Notice is to inform you of DoubleVerify’s privacy practices, particularly our approach to the use, collection, and sharing of your Personal Information as well as your privacy rights and how to exercise them. DoubleVerify operates the functions contemplated and covered by this Websites & Marketing Privacy Notice as a “controller” or a “business”, as relevant from time to time under applicable laws.
