Bid Glass LLC is firmly committed to transparent and sound privacy practices and provides this Privacy Policy to describe our information collecting and handling practices. Bid Glass is an advertising platform ("bid.glass", "Bid Glass", "Platform", "we", "our", "us") for three audiences: site owners who sell ad space via bid.glass ("Publishers"), advertisers who buy advertising placements via bid.glass ("Advertisers"), and website visitors shown advertisements via bid.glass on pages on Publishers' websites ("Readers").
Through our Platform Services, including the bid.glass website and remote advertising placements on Publishers' websites (together the "Platform Services"), we collect information about Publishers, Advertisers and Readers. This privacy policy describes what information we collect and how we control and process it.
This Privacy Policy describes our use of Personal Information that we collect when you use the Platform Services. "Personal Information" means any information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify a natural person, such as contact information (i.e., name, address, e-mail address, and/or phone number), any other data that is associated with the contact information, and/or information that may identify a person based on their internet usage such as their IP address. We collect and use Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect the following Personal Information that our Publishers and Advertisers submit to us voluntarily:
Information from Advertisers: Our Advertiser registration process requires submitting your first and last name, a valid email address, and a username and password. Additionally, in order to place bids on advertising, we require entering payment information such as credit card information or bank account information. Payment information is processed and stored by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") whose privacy policy is available at: https://stripe.com/us/privacy When you enter payment information, we collect and store the date and time the information was submitted, the IP address you submitted it from, and the information Stripe shares with us about that payment information. When you enter credit card information, Stripe shares with us the last 4 digits of your credit card, the expiration year and month, the address information associated with the card, the name associated with the card, and a string identifier unique to that card. They do not provide us the full credit card number or the CVC code. When you enter bank account information, Stripe shares with us the account holder name, the account holder type (individual or company), the bank name, the bank account country, the bank routing number, the last 4 digits of the bank account number, and a string identifier unique to that bank account. They do not provide us the full bank account number.
