Our registered agent is located at: 1308 East Colorado Blvd, Suite 539, Pasadena, CA 91106, USA.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Policy explains what information we collect on this Site and through our programmatic infrastructure, why we collect it and the legal basis for doing so, how we use, share, and protect it, your rights under applicable law and how to exercise them, and how we handle data in our capacity as a publisher and supply-side platform participant.

3. Information We Collect

3a. Information You Provide Directly

A3Synq's primary website is a B2B partner-facing platform. We collect limited direct personal data, which may include business contact information submitted via inquiry or partnership forms (name, company name, business email, phone number, job title), email address if you join a waitlist for AppLauncher™ Pro or the DaxLira™ private beta, and communications and correspondence you send us via email or contact forms.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from individual consumers for advertising targeting purposes through this Site.

3b. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you visit the Site, standard technical data is collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools. This may include IP address (truncated or anonymized depending on consent status), browser type and version, device type and operating system, referring URL and pages visited on the Site, session duration and page interactions, and general geographic region (country and city level).

3c. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tracking technologies on this Site. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for a full breakdown of cookie categories, purposes, providers, and expiry periods. In summary, we may use strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function, analytics cookies to understand aggregate traffic and improve Site performance, and advertising and targeting cookies which may be placed by authorized third-party programmatic partners where applicable and where consent has been obtained.

You can manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time via our cookie consent banner or the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this Site.

3d. Programmatic and Supply-Path Data

As a publisher and supply-side participant in the programmatic advertising ecosystem, A3Synq's network domains may participate in real-time bidding (RTB) processes. In that context, certain technical signals, including device type, IP-derived geographic region, browser environment, contextual page signals, and consent status encoded in the IAB TCF TC String, may be transmitted to authorized demand partners in accordance with IAB Tech Lab standards, including Sellers.json, Ads.txt, and App-Ads.txt disclosures.

Bid requests will not include data fields beyond those necessary for the auction and those authorized by the applicable consent signal. Precise geolocation (GPS-level) will not be included in bid requests unless Special Feature 1 consent has been obtained via the TCF. Device fingerprinting will not be used as a substitute for cookie-based consent where consent has not been obtained. User IDs will only be included in bid requests where the applicable consent string authorizes Purpose 1 (store and/or access information on a device).

DaxLira™: Our proprietary intelligence system is currently in development and has not yet been deployed for live user data processing. A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) will be completed before DaxLira™ processes any live user behavioral data. When DaxLira™ enters active operation, this Policy will be updated and users will be notified in advance of any material change to processing activities.

3e. Sensitive Personal Information

A3Synq does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA, including Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data, or contents of private communications, through this Site or its network properties. Our programmatic advertising operations are configured to exclude sensitive category targeting in accordance with IAB content taxonomy restrictions. If you believe sensitive personal information has been submitted to us inadvertently, please contact us at privacy@a3synq.com and we will delete it promptly.

4. How We Use Your Information

We do not use personal data collected on this Site for behavioral profiling, retargeting, or interest-based advertising directed at individuals identified from this Site.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors from the EU, EEA, and UK, our legal bases for processing personal data are as follows. Consent applies where you have actively opted in via the cookie consent banner, waitlist signup, or other affirmative action. Legitimate Interests applies for analytics, fraud prevention, supply-path integrity, and B2B inquiry management, where our interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. Contract applies where processing is necessary to respond to a business inquiry or fulfill a partnership agreement. Legal Obligation applies where we are required by applicable law to process or retain data.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time by contacting us at privacy@a3synq.com

6. Programmatic Advertising & Supply-Side Disclosure

A3Synq operates as a publisher and supply-path participant across its owned-and-operated network. In this capacity we maintain Sellers.json disclosure in accordance with IAB Tech Lab Sellers.json 1.0, identifying A3Synq as a primary publisher and authorized representative. Our network domains maintain Ads.txt and App-Ads.txt files to authorize only verified demand partners. We support OMID (Open Measurement SDK 1.4) for independent cross-platform viewability measurement. We operate a zero-tolerance Anti-IVT policy to eliminate Sophisticated Invalid Traffic (SIVT) in real-time. We seek to align with IAB Gold Standard 2.2 best practices across our supply chain.

Where programmatic auctions involve the transmission of bid request data, A3Synq requires that demand partners adhere to all applicable privacy law obligations including GDPR and CCPA/CPRA, and comply with IAB TCF v2.3 consent signal requirements. Partners must not process personal data for purposes not authorized by the received TC String.

A3Synq does not sell or share personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA without a valid opportunity to opt out. See Section 10 for your opt-out rights.

8. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your business contact information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share data in the following limited circumstances.

Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to support hosting, analytics, security, communications, infrastructure, and platform operations, including providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Analytics, Cloudflare, and consent management platform providers. These parties process data solely on our behalf and under signed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).

Programmatic Demand Partners: In the context of our advertising supply network, authorized buyers may receive bid request signals in accordance with our Sellers.json and Ads.txt disclosures. Our Transparency Hub provides details on authorized supply-path participants.

Media First Network, Inc. Affiliates: We may share information with affiliated entities under Media First Network, Inc. for operational, reporting, and administrative purposes, subject to equivalent data protection standards.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority, or government request.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset sale, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to equivalent privacy protections and advance notice to affected individuals where required by law.

We maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS), role-based access controls, and contractual security requirements via DPAs with all data processors. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risk to individuals, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and affected data subjects without undue delay, in accordance with GDPR Articles 33 and 34. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
