Criteo is an advertising service provided by Criteo SA which allows User Data to be utilized for advertising communication purposes.
Criteo Dynamic Retargeting is a remarketing and behavioral targeting service provided by Criteo, that connects user activity on a particular site with the Criteo advertising network. This type of service allows websites and their partners to inform, optimize and serve advertising based on past use of this Application by the User.
When using Criteo tools to either utilize your user data for advertising communication purposes such as tracking their interaction with your content or ads, or to manage the re-marketing of your ads, you need to ensure that you adequately inform your users about these processes.
Conversely, your users should be informed that they can swiftly withdraw their consent and opt out of personalized advertising.
This was also recently confirmed by the French data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL).
iubenda’s range of products assist you in maintaining compliance as required both under the GDPR and as highlighted by CNIL.
Yes, you do.
If you’re managing your ads and/or retargeting through Criteo, then add the appropriate service to your privacy policy – in this case, the Criteo and/or Criteo Dynamic Retargeting service clauses that you’ll find in the privacy policy generator.
Such clauses provide your users with information about the nature of these services and a direct link to Criteo’s privacy policy, which includes information on how user data will be processed in a transparent and comprehensive manner. The provision of such information in turn helps to ensure that your users freely give informed consent to either service as required by the GDPR.
By adding either of the Criteo clauses to your privacy policy, you will also be addressing your contractual obligations as joint controller in terms of Criteo’s data protection agreement (DPA), since iubenda’s privacy policy will provide disclosure about this joint controllership.
Moreover, the privacy policy also provides for accessibility to Criteo’s DPA which describes the protection and security obligations between yourself and Criteo as joint controllers with respect to the processing of personal data of your users, in accordance with the requirements of the applicable data protection laws.
Yes, you do.
