GDPR

Airbridge, an attribution analytics service offered by AB180 Inc, is committed to data security and protection standards as outlined in the GDPR to empower users with their rights to data privacy and control.

Airbridge places the highest regard for users’ rights to data privacy and control by collecting and processing only what is strictly required for attribution analysis. Our strict adherence to user data privacy is evident across all our engineering - empowering data subjects with their full gamut of rights ranging from data control, deletion, retention, transfer, and more.

What is GDPR?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a regulation of the European Union (EU) on personal data protection, which came into full effect on May 25, 2018. It ensures the free movement of personal data within the EU member states and strengthens the data subject’s right to protect their personal data.

The GDPR sets out the rights and duties of three major roles: the data subject who owns and provides personal data, the controller who determines purposes and measures of processing personal data provided by the data subject, and the processor who performs processing on behalf of the controller.

In the case of Airbridge’s services, our clients receiving services of advertising campaign measurement and attribution, are data controllers. Customers of the clients' services, who in effect provide their personal data as members of the client company, are data subjects. Last, Airbridge, who receives the data subjects’ data through clients for data processing such as campaign measurement and attribution, acts as a data processor.
