Mediavine Advertising Privacy Notice v. 1.2
Mediavine works with this Site to support the delivery of ads aligned with your interests. It collects information about your online activities and browsing information, including websites you visit, pages you view, search terms, apps you use, language and device, approximate location, and emails from newsletter sign-ups. This information is shared with partners to enable interest-based advertising.
This Notice explains how Mediavine collects, uses, shares, or sells your personal information when you visit this Site or sign up for a newsletter managed by Mediavine. This website must disclose any collection, use, sharing, or sale of personal data beyond the services provided by Mediavine in its own privacy notice and comply with relevant privacy laws.
What personal data does Mediavine collect?
Mediavine may collect:
- IP address
- Approximate location (country, city, state)
- Operating system
- Device information (hardware, platform, carrier data)
- Language of the website or browser
- Web browser type
- Email address (if you sign up for a Mediavine-managed newsletter)
When you visit this Site, Mediavine uses cookies and similar technologies (pixels/tags) to collect information about your behavior on this Site and other websites across your devices. These tools track preferences, visits and activities, interactions with emails and ads, evaluate effectiveness, and record which ads have been shown to you to enable interest-based advertising.
If Mediavine manages a newsletter for this Site, it collects your email directly through the sign-up form and requests your consent to use your email for interest-based advertising. Your email may be converted into a hashed format before being sent to partners. You may unsubscribe at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link.
Does Mediavine share or sell my personal information for interest-based advertising?
Yes. Mediavine may use, share, license, sell, or otherwise disclose your personal information to partners to enable interest-based advertising. Through the ad “bidstream,” Mediavine shares data such as ad location, site content, and your information with advertisers so they can bid to display ads to you.
Mediavine may share your data with partners to create a unique identifier linked to your online behavior and preferences. Mediavine and partners may also combine data collected from your interaction with this Site and other sources to create a profile for interest-based advertising across devices, browsers, and apps. Mediavine may license personal data from partners to enrich bid requests.

Opt-Out Rights in Certain US States: If you reside in a jurisdiction that grants the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal data, look for a “Do Not Sell or Share My Information” link where required.
Disabling cookies or opting out does not eliminate all ads; it generally means ads will be less personalized.
