END USERS

Our technology and how we collect information on end Users. End Users are those that may be served advertising from ClearPier on behalf of our Customers.

Our Customers, in their relationship with their end user/s, may request and collect some personal identifier and then may provide this information to ClearPier in order to retarget or re-engage the end User. The Customer will provide a mobile device advertising identifier only, such as an Android GAID or iOS IDFA to ClearPier for the about consumers they are interested in reaching via advertising and the Customer is responsible for obtaining consent to use personal identifying information from the end User before providing to ClearPier. As an end User you can manage the use of your device identifier for such activity by reaching out directly to the advertiser, our Customer.
