To provide our Services, we utilize (i) Personal Information provided to us by or on behalf of our Clients (“Client Information”) solely for their own use, and (ii) Personal Information that we license from third parties (“Licensed Information”). We also use Licensed Information to provide products and services to participants in the DB media network (the “DB Participants”). 

In addition, we utilize deidentified information that cannot reasonably be linked to you in connection with our Services and the DB media network. When such deidentified information is, directly or indirectly, associated or combined with Personal Information, such deidentified information will be considered Personal Information for purposes of this Privacy Policy.

We do not knowingly collect,share, sell, disclose, or otherwise maintain any sensitive personal information or protected information, as those terms are defined by applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy (Section: How we Collect, Use, and Disclose Information from Visitors to our Webpage), DB does not collect Personal Information directly from consumers.

The businesses who use our Services to understand and advertise to their customers may provide us with Client Information when they use our Services. This Client Information is collected from transactions you have made with those businesses or through loyalty or purchase accounts you have with those businesses, and may include:

  • Identifiers, such as your name, email, phone number, delivery address, loyalty program number, online order number, and payment or tender details (but not financial account numbers or full credit card numbers); and
  • Commercial Information, such as your historical item level purchase history, store location and spend.

We use this Client Information to identify and understand you as a customer of a particular Client, and to provide our Services.
