We encourage you to review this page from time to time for the latest
information on our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy (the
“Privacy Policy” or the “Policy”) of Verality Ads.
This Policy is not intended to override any rights you may have under
other applicable data privacy laws, including terms of any other
agreement you may have with us.
Prior to accessing or using our Services, please read this Policy to
make sure you fully understand our practices in relation to your
personal data. Please note that you are not legally required to
provide us with any personal data, and may do so (or avoid doing so)
at your own discretion. If you do not wish to provide us with your
personal data, or to have it processed by us or any of our Services
Providers (as defined in Section 5) as described below, or if you
disagree with any terms set forth in the Policy, please refrain from
accessing or using our Services.
In addition, please note that if you want to exercise any of your
rights under this Policy or applicable law, we may need to request
additional information from you to verify your identity or process
your request, and to make sure we are not disclosing you any personal
information related to others. Such additional information will be
held by us for legal purposes (e.g., as proof that we did identify the
person who sent us the request). If you have any questions or concerns
regarding this policy, please contact us at contact@carsguide.me.
We collect technical information from your device, including size of system memory, CPU, video hardware, browser types, time zone, operating system, browser language, operating system language, and whether the system is 32bit or 64bit. We also collect your search query, but we will not use it for any purpose other than providing you with search results. We identify your device based on device GUID, a unique user ID we generate, and additional identifiers, including your IP address, MAC address, and user agent. We also collect information about your interactions with the Services (as applicable). To the extent this information relates to an identified or identifiable individual, it will be deemed as “personal data”.
There are three main methods we use, either independently or through
the help of third-party services, as detailed below:
We use personal data as necessary for the facilitation and performance of our Services; to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; and to support our legitimate interests in maintaining and improving our Services, providing services and technical support, and protecting and securing the users of our Services and otherwise individuals who interact with us. If you reside or are using the Services in a territory governed by privacy laws under which “consent” is the only or most appropriate legal basis for the processing of personal data (in general, or specifically with respect to the types of personal data you expect or elect to process or have processed by, or via the Services, e.g., ‘special categories’ under the GDPR), providing such personal data and using the Services, as well as your acceptance of this Privacy Policy will be deemed as your consent to the processing of your personal data for all purposes detailed in this Policy. If you wish to revoke such consent, please contact us at contact@carsguide.me. Specifically, we use personal data for the following purposes:
We will not share any personal data we collect with any third party, except in the following specific cases: (a) to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena or governmental request, with or without notice; (b) to enforce this Policy, including potential violations thereof; (c) to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (d) respond to claims that content available on the Services may violate third party rights; (e ) with our subsidiaries and affiliated companies, for the purposes described in this Policy; (f) in order to protect our rights and safety as well as the rights and safety of our users; (g) when We undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of all or substantially all of our assets; or (h) to collect, hold and/or manage your personal data through authorized third party service providers for business purposes.
We may engage selected third-party Service Providers to perform services on our behalf or complementary to
our own. Such Service Providers may provide hosting and server co-location services, communications and
content delivery networks (CDNs), billing and payment processing services, data and cyber security services,
fraud detection and prevention services, web and mobile analytics, e-mail, text messages and web/mobile
notification distribution, monitoring and analytics services, data optimization and marketing services, social and
advertising networks, content providers, e-mail, voicemails, support and customer relation management
systems, call and session recording services, and our legal, financial and compliance advisors (collectively, our
“Service Providers”).
These Service Providers may have access to your personal data, depending on each of their specific roles and
purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such limited purposes as
determined in our agreements with them. Should you decide to directly engage with any of our Service
Providers, please note that such engagement is beyond the scope of the terms applicable to your engagement
with us, including this Privacy Policy, and will therefore be covered by the Service Provider’s terms and
policies.

concerning our relationship, should any legal issues arise following your discontinuance of use), all in
accordance with our contractual terms.
