For Users of Tapjoy Customer Support and Tapjoy Apps
Welcome to Tapjoy! These Tapjoy User Terms Of Service govern your access to and use of the services we offer directly to end users, including our presentation of advertising offers and our customer support (collectively, “Services”). Together with our Privacy Policy, which describes our data collection and use practices, these User Terms Of Service form the agreement between you and Tapjoy relating to your access to and use of our Services (“Agreement”), effective as of the date you accept the User Terms Of Service.
THESE TAPJOY USER TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. By accepting these User Terms Of Service, you agree to arbitration under the arbitration terms below, and waive your right to pursue a class action or to have your dispute decided by a jury. See “Dispute Resolution, Agreement to Arbitrate, Class Action Waiver, and Jury Trial Waiver” below for details.
You are responsible for reviewing the documents that make up the Agreement before clicking to accept the User Terms Of Service. By clicking to accept the User Terms Of Service (for example, as part of submitting a support request), you agree to be bound by the Agreement and, if you are an individual acting on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity and accept this Agreement on its behalf. If you do not have that authority or do not accept the Agreement, then you should not click to accept and Tapjoy does not authorize you or the entity to access or use our Services. (References to “you” mean the person or entity accepting the User Terms Of Service; references to “we” or Tapjoy” mean Tapjoy, Inc., including our affiliates.)
These User Terms Of Service cover the Services that Tapjoy offers directly to end users, including customer support for issues related to advertising offers powered by Tapjoy.
Users of our legacy apps, such as TapDefense, TapOut, or Coloroid, and our legacy app-discovery and currency-management services (MyTapjoy) should be aware that we are no longer maintaining or updating these apps and services; you may continue to use them at your own risk, subject to the applicable terms of use.
Users of third-party apps encountering issues not related to Tapjoy-powered advertising offers should contact the app publisher directly; we cannot assist you with those support questions.
You agree to use our Services only as we provide them, and only in accordance with these User Terms Of Service, any additional instructions we provide you, and applicable laws and regulations. We reserve the right to add, remove, or modify our Services at any time.
Tapjoy does not knowingly provide Services to children, meaning users under the age of 13 or the applicable minimum age of online consent where you are located. If you are under the minimum age applicable to you, please do not use our Services or send us any information about yourself. If you believe that we may have any information from or about a child, please contact us at privacy@tapjoy.com. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information.
On rare occasions, a reward offer you receive while using the Services may have actual monetary value in your place of residence; if you receive any taxable compensation through the use of our Services, you will be solely responsible for any resulting taxes or similar obligations.
You are prohibited from using the Services in connection with fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity, including but not limited to device ID manipulation, misrepresentation of offer eligibility (including deceptive geolocation manipulations), interference with our services or systems (bots, crawling, spam, etc.), or attempts to decompile or reverse engineer our code (other than as permitted by law).
We make the Services available to you for use solely for your personal benefit; you may not use the Services for commercial purposes or financial gain. For example, you are not allowed to sell or rent our Services to a third party or otherwise exploit our Services for the economic benefit of a third party.
We make our Services available as part of a virtuous circle that allows users like you to be rewarded for their time and attention, publishers to earn money through their apps, and advertisers to reach users who may be interested in their products and services. If we believe that your behavior is in any way abusive or disruptive of our ecosystem, we reserve the right to take action against you, including suspension or permanent ban.
Tapjoy offers customer support to end users for issues related to in-app advertising offers. To make a support request, contact us by clicking the in-app link. We cannot accept requests submitted through other channels, such as email or telephone.
Rewards for completed advertising offers may take up to 48 hours to appear in your account, so please wait that long before filing a support request. Requests filed prematurely cannot be processed; please wait to see if the issue persists after the initial 48-hour window has passed. You can check the status of pending rewards by opening the app in which you viewed the offer, navigating to the Tapjoy advertising offerwall inside the app, and selecting “Reward Status” from the menu (typically in the top left corner).
Customer support requests must be made within 14 days of your first interaction with the in-app advertising offer involved in your request. Requests made beyond that 14-day window cannot be processed.
Some support requests are easy to resolve; others may require multiple rounds of investigation with the user, the advertiser, the publisher of the app, our internal technical team, or some or all of the above. The time it takes to resolve a support request depends on several factors, including how complex the issue is as well as advertiser and publisher responsiveness, customer support workload, user cooperation, and other factors. For that reason, we do not promise that support requests will be resolved within a specific time frame; we do, however, strive to respond to your initial request within 24 hours of receiving it. If we ask you for your assistance, for example by providing screenshots or other information, and you do not provide it within the timeframe requested, we may close your support request without further action.
We understand that it’s frustrating when something doesn’t work as expected or takes longer than you’d like; however, please don’t take your frustration out on our support team. We do not tolerate abusive language or actions; consequences of profanity or other abusive behavior may include immediate closure of your support request and the suspension or permanent termination of your Tapjoy privileges, in addition to any other equitable or legal remedies available to us.
When you submit a customer support request, we receive and store device identifiers for the device involved in your request — specifically, its unique device identifier (UDID) and its advertising identifier (IDFA for iOS devices, Android Advertising ID for Android devices), along with your email address and IP address, and your name if you choose to provide it. We use this information to respond to your request and help prevent fraud. If resolution of your request requires coordination with the advertiser or publisher involved, we may share your support request information with them, including the device identifiers and your email address, as necessary to research and respond to your request. In rare cases, a support request may involve telephone contact; in that case, the user’s telephone number is used only to return the call.
We combine and analyze information about customer support requests, including device identifiers and IP addresses, to identify trends, spot problems, prevent fraud, and look for ways to improve our services.
For more information about how Tapjoy uses data, including to target and optimize advertising, please refer to our privacy policy (https://www.tapjoy.com/legal/#privacy-policy).
We make our Services available at no cost to end users like you. As a condition of using them, if your use of our Services causes liability to Tapjoy, you agree to indemnify and hold Tapjoy harmless from all damages, losses and expenses of any kind, including reasonable legal fees and associated costs arising out of or otherwise related to your use of the Services. This means that if someone sues Tapjoy due to your conduct in using our Services, you will be legally and financially responsible.
We use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with an enjoyable experience. However, we do not promise or guarantee anything about your use of or experience with our Services.
Tapjoy has no special relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, you. You acknowledge that Tapjoy makes no representations regarding, has no control over, and has no duty to take any action regarding, any third-party apps or other content or materials you may access in the course of using our Services, and you release Tapjoy from all liability in connection therewith. Tapjoy will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality or decency of third-party content or material contained in or accessed through our Services. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE TAPJOY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. TAPJOY FULLY DISCLAIMS, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SUBSIDIARIES, AND CONTRACTORS, ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE TAPJOY SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TAPJOY OR ITS SUPPLIERS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAPJOY SERVICES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY: (I) FOR ANY AMOUNT IN THE AGGREGATE IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF FEES PAID BY YOU THEREFOR OR $10; (II) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER; (III) FOR DATA LOSS OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; OR (IV) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND TAPJOY’S REASONABLE CONTROL.
These User Terms Of Service, and any dispute arising between Tapjoy and you under the Terms or otherwise in connection with your use of the Services, shall be governed by applicable federal law, the Federal Arbitration Act, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
If you are a resident of a European Union Member State and you wish to institute an action arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, you may choose to do so either in the national courts of your country of residence, or through binding arbitration as set forth below.
For users residing outside the European Union, you and we agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the Services or this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration, using the English language in accordance with the then-current Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Both parties agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, or to seek other provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
In arbitration, instead of a judge or jury, there is an arbitrator, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can grant, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages.
Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
Both parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The decision of the arbitrator (or small claims court judge) only affects the specific parties involved in the claim, and does not extend to third parties or other users of our Services.
Both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Northern District of California for any dispute not handled through arbitration or in small claims court, as described above. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
You may opt out from arbitration within the first thirty days after accepting these Terms, by writing to Tapjoy, Inc., 353 Sacramento Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA, 94111, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out, or emailing user_arbitration_optout@tapjoy.com; in each case, please provide your name, address, and the advertising identifier(s) of the mobile device you use with Tapjoy and the email address(es) used to contact customer support.
The Agreement remains in effect between you and Tapjoy for as long as you continue to use our Services. We reserve the right to make changes to our Services and these User Terms Of Service at any time. If you are dissatisfied with the Services, your sole remedy is to stop using the Services. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject or remove any customer support request and to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to or use of our Services, at any time and with or without notice, without liability to you. The provisions following the heading “Other Important and Binding Provisions” shall survive termination.
Except as required by applicable law, both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
The Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements regarding your use of the Services, and does not create any third party beneficiary rights. If for some reason we do not take prompt action regarding your violation of these User Terms Of Service, this will not mean that we are giving up the right to do so in the future. If for some reason any portion of these User Terms Of Service is found to be unenforceable between the parties, that shall not affect the rest of the User Terms Of Service. If these User Terms Of Service conflict with any other terms of use for other services that we are providing to you, the other terms shall control over these User Terms Of Service.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations granted under it, to any other person without our express written consent. Tapjoy may freely assign its rights or obligations without your consent.

THESE TAPJOY ADVERTISER TERMS OF SERVICE (THE “TERMS OF SERVICE”) GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WE OFFER ADVERTISERS. BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OR BY EXECUTING AN INSERTION ORDER OR OTHER FORM THAT REFERENCES THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, EFFECTIVE ON THE DATE YOU CLICK OR SIGN. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE ENTITY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS OR USE OUR ADVERTISING SERVICE.
(References to “you” or “Advertiser” mean the person or entity accepting these Terms of Service; references to “we” or “Tapjoy” mean Tapjoy, Inc.)
Advertiser and Tapjoy agree as follows:
1. Advertising Services
1.1 Advertiser and Tapjoy shall mutually agree upon the terms of an insertion order (or other contracting mechanism, as applicable) (referred to herein as an “Insertion Order” or “IO”) setting forth the details of the advertising campaign, which details may include among others: the type and quantity of ad placements, the rate price per ad placement, the maximum budget allotted to the campaign, the flight and campaign dates, etc., and which shall incorporate by reference these Terms of Service.
1.2 Advertiser will deliver the Advertisements (defined below) and implement conversion tracking in accordance with the applicable technical specifications provided by Tapjoy, and Tapjoy will make commercially reasonable efforts to serve the Advertisements to the Inventory (defined below) in accordance with the applicable Insertion Order (the “Advertising Service”). As between the parties, Advertiser is solely responsible for any and all costs Advertiser incurs for the production and delivery of the Advertisements in accordance with the aforementioned technical specifications and for any programming undertaken by Advertiser related thereto. Advertiser is solely responsible for the content of any Advertisement, and Tapjoy will not make modifications or alterations thereto without Advertiser’s prior written consent except as required for or otherwise incidental to any technical implementation by Tapjoy of an Advertisement.
1.3 Advertiser may select a particular implementation of the Advertising Service through the Tapjoy dashboard located at https://dashboard.tapjoy.com/ or at such other URL as provided by Tapjoy from time to time (the “Tapjoy Dashboard”). Advertiser may use the Tapjoy Dashboard to specify certain requirements of a particular advertising campaign covered by an IO, including setting the campaign budget, sums to be spent on a daily basis, and dates / targets for delivery of Advertisements. Advertiser acknowledges that the sums allocated for a particular day, targets for delivery, and budget allocation between ad units are estimates and not guaranteed. To this end, Tapjoy shall not be liable for sums spent by Advertiser on a particular day which are less than or more than the intended amount. By way of example, if Advertiser sets a daily spend limit, it may be necessary for Tapjoy to deliver Advertisements in excess of the corresponding conversion amounts, in anticipation that not all Advertisements delivered will be converted. Advertiser acknowledges that placement and promotion of Advertisements shall be, as between the parties, at Tapjoy’s discretion.
1.4. Upon enrollment, you may create a password-protected Tapjoy Dashboard account. Advertiser accounts are personal to each Advertiser, and may not be shared with or serviced by third parties except to the extent you authorize an agency to operate your account on your behalf. You are responsible for protecting the security of your account and for any access to or use of it, whether or not specifically authorized by you. You agree to use industry-standard security practices to protect your account credentials, and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use or other security breach; we disclaim all liability, whether to you or any third party, that arises based on your breach of this Section.
2. License
Advertiser hereby grants to Tapjoy the worldwide, non-sublicensable (except to the extent required by Tapjoy to fulfill the purposes hereof), non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, right and license to use, serve, copy, reproduce, distribute and display, in any medium now known or hereafter developed, the advertisements and all related content, materials and metadata submitted by Advertiser to Tapjoy (collectively, “Advertisement(s)”), along with the data referenced in Section 14 below.
3. Service Circumvention; Competitive Services
3.1. Advertiser acknowledges the unique value of using the Advertising Service to access the various types of advertising placement inventory on which Tapjoy has a contractual right to serve Ads (the “Inventory”). To this end, Advertiser will not (a) modify or interfere with the Advertising Service, including systems for calculating conversions; or (b) knowingly bypass or circumvent the Advertising Service, including by engaging directly with such Tapjoy Publishers or partners to access their advertising inventory during the term of this Agreement. By way of example, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advertiser shall not create or attempt to create a linking or other arrangement circumventing the Advertising Service such that Tapjoy is unable to fully track and monitor the conversions and other events that are the basis for calculating the payments owed by Advertiser to Tapjoy. For all pay-per-install campaigns, Advertiser must ensure that its systems promptly notify Tapjoy the first time the relevant application is installed and opened.
3.2. Advertiser acknowledges that the Advertising Service is not available to entities that run, provide, enable or promote similar advertising services, whether for themselves or for others. Advertiser represents, warrants and covenants that it is not such an entity and that it shall not act, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or on behalf of a third party, in such a capacity during the term of this Agreement.
4. Payment Terms; Reporting
4.1. Advertiser will pay Tapjoy for all conversions generated during each advertising campaign, whether or not Advertiser has reported such transactions to Tapjoy. Tapjoy’s system will be the exclusive system of record for all reporting and calculations. The attribution window used for purposes of calculating conversions runs for the applicable campaign period, plus: (a) forty-eight (48) hours, for campaigns using cost per install (“CPI”) measurements; (b) seven (7) days, for video to install (“V2I”) campaigns; and (c) an unlimited period of time, for campaigns using cost per engagement (“CPE”) or cost per action other than install (“CPA”) measurements. Cost per view (“CPV”) measurements are charged upon media completion, which for videos and non-video playables includes media completion and/or user interaction resulting in media completion, and for playables (non-video), includes user click or playable completion. For the avoidance of doubt, conversions are billable if occurring within the attribution window if commenced before campaign termination or pause. Conversions validated by Tapjoy’s customer service department are automatically deemed within the applicable attribution window and constitute chargeable events. Added-value (“AV”) placements set forth on an IO are non-guaranteed estimates, included for reference only; AV fulfillment (or lack thereof) does not affect campaign billing or reporting. Advertiser will pay Tapjoy amounts based on Tapjoy’s invoice. Payments are due ten (10) days after receipt of invoice. Without waiver to such payment obligation, if Advertiser, in good faith, disputes any amount due, then Advertiser shall provide notice to Tapjoy on or before the invoice payment due date. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that (a) failure to notify Tapjoy of disputed amounts within said 10-day time period shall be deemed acceptance of the applicable invoice and waiver of any right to dispute the invoiced amount, and (b) no credit will be provided to Advertiser on conversions based on user chargebacks of the underlying Advertiser transaction. Tapjoy reserves the right to charge, and Advertiser agrees to pay, interest on amounts due but not paid in the time frame set forth above an amount equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Any pre-paid account balances are non-refundable and will be reduced to offset amounts owed as they are incurred, and Advertiser hereby consents to such right of offset. For all other amounts requiring adjustments, in lieu of cash payments, Tapjoy reserves the right to offer marketing credits in the form of non-monetizable and non-transferable credits issued for promotion through the Advertising Service. Such credits, if any, shall be Advertiser’s sole and exclusive remedy regarding any claim asserting non-fulfillment, in whole or in part, of an Insertion Order. All billing and transaction times referenced in the Agreement are on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). All amounts shall be invoiced and paid in United States dollars and do not include taxes that may be assessed by any jurisdiction or transmission fees that may be assessed by Advertiser’s banking institution, each of which shall be Advertiser’s sole responsibility. If withholding taxes or other taxes are imposed by any jurisdiction on the transactions made pursuant to this Agreement, Advertiser will promptly pay such taxes to ensure that Tapjoy receives the full amount invoiced to Advertiser without offset or deduction. Upon payment of such taxes, Advertiser will furnish to Tapjoy the applicable receipts and/or certificates regarding such remittances as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within five (5) business days of written request.
4.2. Advertiser shall provide Tapjoy with all reporting required in order to satisfy the requirements of the Advertising Service, including reporting used to calculate sums owed to Tapjoy. To this end, Advertiser shall use all tracking and other technology reasonably required by Tapjoy including, as applicable, the Tapjoy SDK or a third party SDK approved by Tapjoy. If a third party SDK or other technology is used, then Advertiser shall provide Tapjoy with all information necessary in order for Tapjoy to access applicable data made available therefrom, including any username and password. Except where otherwise provided through the aforementioned technology, such reporting shall be sent to Advertiser’s account manager at Tapjoy or to accountsreceivable@tapjoy.com.
4.3. To integrate the Tapjoy SDK, you may download it from the Tapjoy SDK download website located at https://ltv.tapjoy.com/d/sdks or at such other URL as provided by Tapjoy from time to time. You agree to comply with applicable license requirements and to always integrate the then-current version of the SDK.
5. Fraud
Tapjoy employs systems designed to detect and filter potentially fraudulent or invalid Advertisement conversion activity, but such systems cannot guarantee detection of all potentially suspect activity. Accordingly, Advertiser is responsible for identifying and reporting any such alleged activity to Tapjoy as soon as possible and, in any case, within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt the applicable invoice. Advertiser shall timely notify Tapjoy in writing of any such activity by emailing both Advertiser’s Tapjoy account manager and also discrepancy@tapjoy.com.
6. Content
Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Tapjoy is not responsible and has no liability whatsoever for the Advertisements or any content with which the Advertisements may be associated through Advertiser’s website or other properties, and that Tapjoy has no obligation to monitor the foregoing. Advertiser is solely responsible (and assumes all liability and risk) for determining whether or not such content is appropriate or acceptable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in the Agreement, Tapjoy reserves the right at its discretion and without notice, to remove or refuse to distribute any Advertisement through the Advertising Service or any content associated therewith.
7. Compliance with Laws; Misuse of Advertising Service
Advertiser represents, warrants, and covenants that it will use the Advertising Service and provide Advertisements in compliance with all applicable local, state, national and international laws, rules and regulations, including the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and any applicable data protection laws. As a condition on using our Services, Advertisers providing Tapjoy with personal data originating from individuals in the European Economic Area or Switzerland agree to be bound by our Tapjoy DPA, absent entry into a separate written agreement with us with substantially similar terms regarding our respective obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws, as defined therein. Advertiser will not, will not agree to, and will not permit, authorize, or encourage any third party to: (a) use the Advertising Service to transmit or otherwise distribute any Advertisement or content that is unlawful, defamatory, libelous, harassing, abusive, fraudulent or obscene, that contains viruses, or is otherwise objectionable, as reasonably determined by Tapjoy; (b) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Advertising Service or prevent others from accessing or using the Advertising Service; or otherwise (c) use the Advertising Service in a manner not expressly authorized hereunder or for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose. Breach or violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate termination of this Agreement, at Tapjoy’s sole discretion, and may subject Advertiser to state and federal penalties and other legal consequences. Advertiser will promptly notify Tapjoy in writing if it learns of any potential breach of any of subparts (a) through (c) or of any potentially fraudulent or abusive activity. Without waiver of Advertiser’s obligations, Tapjoy reserves the right, without obligation, to review the Advertisements and Advertiser’s use of the Advertising Service in order to determine whether a breach of this Agreement has occurred or to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Without limiting any other representation, warranty, or covenant of either party herein, each party hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the other that: (a) it has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement; (b) this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of such party; and (c) it has obtained and shall maintain throughout the term of this Agreement all necessary licenses, authorizations, approvals and consents to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Without limiting any other representation, warranty or covenant herein, Advertiser hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has the right to grant the rights granted herein; (ii) no Advertisement contains any material that infringes upon or violates any third-party right, including rights arising from contracts between Advertiser and third parties, copyright, trademark, class action, patent, consumer protection laws, trade secret, moral rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right, or slanders, defames, libels, or invades the right of privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person; (iii) no Advertisement provided by it contains any viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer programming routines that may potentially damage or interfere with the Advertising Service, or intercept or expropriate any system data or personal information from the Advertising Service; (iv) no Advertisement will be directed to children (meaning users under age 13 or as otherwise defined under applicable law for the relevant jurisdiction, including but not limited to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union, European Economic Area, and Switzerland); and (v) any Advertisements directed to youths (meaning users younger than 18 but older than the applicable local definition of “child”) will comply with the guidelines of the Children’s Advertising Review Unit in the U.S., or the applicable local equivalent where the Advertisements will be displayed.
9. Indemnification
Each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any losses, costs, liabilities, damages, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants made by such party herein. The indemnifying party reserves the right, at its expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which it is required to indemnify the indemnified party, and the indemnified party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party’s defense of such claims and shall have the right to participate with counsel of its own choosing at its own expense. The indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement of any claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
10. Disclaimers; No Warranties
10.1 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8 ABOVE, TAPJOY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, OR ARISING BY STATUTE, CUSTOM, COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: ADVERTISING; THE ADVERTISING SERVICE; APPLICATION ADVERTISERS; APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO APPLICATIONS IN THE INVENTORY AND ANY APPLICATION(S) IN WHICH ADVERTISEMENTS ARE PLACED; THE TAPJOY SDK; AND ANY OTHER TAPJOY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE. TAPJOY MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE VOLUME OR TIMING OF ACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADVERTISING SERVICE. TAPJOY DOES NOT WARRANT THE RESULTS OF USE OF THE ADVERTISING SERVICE, INCLUDING THE RESULTS OF ANY ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN, AND ADVERTISER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, TAPJOY DISCLAIMS ALL GUARANTEES REGARDING POSITIONING, RANKING, RATING, LEVELS, OR TIMING OF: (A) ADVERTISEMENTS’ DELIVERY ON SPECIFIC PUBLISHERS’ INVENTORY; OR (B) CLICKS, CONVERSION RATES, OR OTHER USER ACTIONS. ADVERTISER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADVERTISING SERVICE IS BASED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ON AN AUCTION MODEL, AND CONSEQUENTLY VOLUMES VARY BASED ON PRICE, CONVERSION RATES, AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY NOT BE WITHIN TAPJOY’S CONTROL.
10.2 You acknowledge and agree that Tapjoy is not affiliated with or responsible for any third-party products or services displayed, distributed or otherwise promoted in connection with the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, including without limitation, your Advertisements.

11. Limitation of Liability and Damages
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL TAPJOY OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, LOST PROFITS, DATA OR BUSINESS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY OR SUCH PARTY’S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL TAPJOY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO ADVERTISER OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY TAPJOY FROM ADVERTISER FOR THE INSERTION ORDER TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD.

Advertiser acknowledges that such software and data (including any usage data or compilations thereof but expressly not including any user information submitted to Advertiser through the Advertising Service) are copyrighted by Tapjoy and may contain trade secrets or other intellectual property owned by Tapjoy. Advertiser will not copy, alter, modify, or create derivative works of the Advertising Service or otherwise use the Advertising Service in any way that violates the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

13. Confidentiality
13.1 “Confidential Information” means any information designated in writing, or identified orally at the time of disclosure, by the disclosing party as “confidential” or “proprietary.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Advertisements, prior to publication, are Advertiser’s Confidential Information; and the existence or content of the Agreement, as well as all statistics or other data relating to the Advertising Service, are Tapjoy’s Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years following termination, subject to the terms of Section 14 (“Data”) below, each party will keep confidential, and neither party will use or disclose, Confidential Information of the other party, except as specifically contemplated herein. The foregoing restriction does not apply to information that: (a) has been independently developed by the receiving party without use of or access to the other party’s Confidential Information and without any breach of any this Agreement; (b) is or has become publicly known through no breach of this Section 13 by the receiving party; (c) has been rightfully received from a third party authorized to make such disclosure and unencumbered by any duty to confidentiality; or (d) has been approved for release in writing by the disclosing party. Disclosure of Confidential Information that is required by a competent legal or governmental authority to be disclosed shall not constitute a breach of this Section 13, provided that the receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such requirement prior to disclosure.
13.2 Tapjoy reserves the right to access, read, preserve and disclose any information, including Confidential Information, as it reasonably believes is necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of potential violations hereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; (d) respond to user support requests; or (e) protect the rights, property or safety of Tapjoy, its users and the public.

The terms of this Section 14 (“Data”) shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason.
15. Term; Termination
15.1 The term shall commence on the acceptance of these Terms of Service and continue until either party terminates this Agreement as set forth herein. Tapjoy may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Advertiser. Advertiser may terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Tapjoy. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement shall also terminate any outstanding IO’s between the parties.
15.2 In the event of any termination, Advertiser will remain liable for any and all amounts due under the Agreement through the effective date of termination and, in the case of Post Campaign Conversions, whenever such conversions arise, and such obligation to pay shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S., without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
17. Dispute Resolution/Arbitration. Please Read This Section Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right To File A Lawsuit In Court And To Have A Jury Hear Your Claims. Tapjoy and Advertiser agree that these Terms of Service affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation of these arbitration provisions.
17.1 Informal Resolution. In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, any person’s or entity’s access to and/or use of the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, Tapjoy or you must first give the other notice of the dispute, claim, or controversy, and the notice must include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, as well as the facts giving rise to the dispute, claim, or controversy and the relief requested. Notices must be made in accordance with Section 19 hereof. Tapjoy and you will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date that any notice of dispute, claim, or controversy is sent. Tapjoy and you shall use reasonable, good faith, efforts to settle any dispute, claim, or controversy through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, Tapjoy or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice and 30 day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply to Excluded Claims as defined below.
17.2 Formal Resolution by Arbitration. Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind between Tapjoy and you arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, any person’s or entity’s access to and/or use of the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, if unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days of the sending of the notice described above, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in San Francisco, California, U.S. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (collectively, “JAMS Rules”), as modified by these Terms of Service, and administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules and fee information are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/ or at such other URL as JAMS may provide from time to time, or by calling JAMS at + 1-800-352-5267. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on Tapjoy and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Tapjoy and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Service and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. Tapjoy and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, Tapjoy and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Tapjoy and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
17.3 Excluded Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning (i) patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, Confidential Information, or trade secrets; (ii) claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Tapjoy Advertiser Services; or (iii) your failure to pay fees or the recovery of money owed by you to Tapjoy (collectively, “Excluded Claims”) shall not be subject to required arbitration. You or Tapjoy may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over you and Tapjoy otherwise qualify for such small claims court and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. If for any reason a claim, dispute or controversy between Tapjoy and you is before a court (e.g., if the arbitration provisions are found unenforceable or if pursuant to these Terms of Service the matter is not subject to arbitration), Tapjoy and you agree to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California and agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
17.4 Applicability. This Section 17 will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Tapjoy, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms of Service (including with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, any person’s or entity’s access to and/or use of the Tapjoy Advertiser Services, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Tapjoy Advertiser Services.
18. Feedback
All comments, feedback or materials submitted by Advertiser to Tapjoy including feedback, testimonials, images, reviews, questions, comments, suggestions or ideas (collectively, “Feedback”) shall be received and treated by Tapjoy on a non-confidential and unrestricted basis. Tapjoy will be free to use, display, perform, distribute, copy, adapt, and promote, in any medium now known or later developed, without compensation to Advertiser, the Feedback along with all ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques or methodologies contained in such Feedback, for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, developing, marketing and selling products and services incorporating such Feedback. Advertiser agrees that, in submitting Feedback, it will not violate any right of any third party, including any confidentiality, copyright, trademark, privacy or other personal or intellectual property or proprietary rights, and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Advertiser further agrees that no Feedback Advertiser submits will be or contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, threatening, abusive or obscene material, or contain viruses, commercial solicitations, or any form of “spam.”
19. Notices
Any notice provided pursuant to the Agreement shall be provided in accordance with this Section 19. Notices to Advertiser shall be sent by email to the address provided for Advertiser in the Tapjoy Dashboard or in the then most current Insertion Order. Notices to Tapjoy shall be sent by email to Advertiser’s Tapjoy account manager, with a copy to legal@tapjoy.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice concerning termination, breach, indemnification or other legal matters shall also concurrently be sent by overnight courier or by prepaid, U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, to Tapjoy at: Tapjoy, Inc., 353 Sacramento Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111 USA, Attn: Legal Department.
20. Miscellaneous
The words “include” and “including” and variations thereof will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred, or assigned by Advertiser without Tapjoy’s prior written consent, provided, however, that Advertiser may assign the Agreement without such consent to any entity (provided that it is not a competitor of Tapjoy) in connection with the merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any other transaction in which more than fifty percent (50%) of Advertiser’s voting securities are transferred. Tapjoy may freely transfer or assign any or all of its rights and obligations associated with this Agreement at any time. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s respective successors and assigns. Tapjoy and Advertiser are independent contractors, and neither Tapjoy nor Advertiser is an agent, representative or partner of the other. This Agreement, including the DPA if applicable, sets forth the entire agreement between Tapjoy and Advertiser, and supersedes any and all prior and concurrent agreements (whether written or oral) with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between an applicable Insertion Order and these Terms of Service, the terms of the Insertion Order shall govern and control. The terms of any Insertion Order may only be modified upon mutual written agreement of the parties executed by representatives of each party, respectively; provided, however, that certain IO modifications, including modifications to bid price and campaign dates, shall be deemed effective upon email confirmation by Advertiser to Tapjoy. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party. If any provision contained in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the original intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Neither party shall be responsible for failure to perform any obligations hereunder (other than the obligation to pay amounts due) due to a cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, terrorism, fire, civil disturbance, war, rebellion, earthquake, flood and similar occurrences, provided that performance shall resume as soon as possible after the cause no longer prevents performance. The use of headings herein is for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret this Agreement.

Last Updated: May 25, 2018
Hello! This privacy policy explains Tapjoy’s privacy practices in connection with information collected about you through your use of Tapjoy services, including our ad platform, our dashboard, and our website. (“Tapjoy” means Tapjoy, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and may also refer to our advertiser and publisher services, including our dashboard, and our website.)
Tapjoy, Inc. operates a platform that enables advertisers to reach mobile in-app ad inventory, mobile app users to be compensated for their attention, and mobile app publishers to receive revenue from the ad space in their applications.
Tapjoy is a member of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). More information about the IAB may be found here [http://www.iab.net/public_policy/codeofconduct].
Publishers use Tapjoy by adding our SDK to their apps; this allows us to display ads on behalf of our advertisers in ad space within the app (our advertising and monetization service). (“SDK” is short for “software development kit”, meaning software that an app publisher can include in its app to enable Tapjoy services in the app.)
Advertisers use Tapjoy by placing orders for our ad services, and in turn, we pay publishers for the right to show ads in their apps.
Users use Tapjoy through engaging with ad offers we display through our ad placements in a participating publisher’s app. Tapjoy ad placements include offerwall, which allows a user to choose from a page of various rewarded ad offers (“rewarded” meaning that the user receives a reward in the form of virtual currency for the app they’re using); video, which offers the user virtual currency reward in exchange for engaging with a video offer; and interstitial, which rewards the user with virtual currency or access to premium content in exchange for a short commercial break.
To further support our publishers, we also offer related optional services, such as analytics, which helps publishers understand how their users use their apps, and virtual currency management services, which helps publishers manage in-app virtual currency.
We provide customer support for users who did not receive an expected in-app reward; this involves working with the advertiser, the user, and the publisher to identify and resolve the issue.
That depends on how you interact with Tapjoy. Read on to learn about the following categories:
Information collected through our ad platform
First, what is not collected?
It may be helpful to know what information is not collected about you or your device: Tapjoy’s ad platform does not access, collect, or receive your name, your email address, your username, your physical address, your phone number, your credit card or other financial information.
(One exception: If you submit a customer support request, you provide us with additional information, such as your email address, and we use that information to respond to your request; see Customer support information, below.)
OK; what information is collected through Tapjoy’s ad platform?
If you are an individual who uses a mobile app, and the app’s publisher uses Tapjoy services, we receive and collect information about your device and the Tapjoy ad offers that you view, and we use this information to reward you for offer engagement, to draw inferences about which offers may be more or less interesting to you, and to provide publishers with information about how their apps are used. This information is collected through our SDK, as integrated into the app you use to access Tapjoy ad placements, and through your interactions with ads on our ad platforms.
Here are the types of information that we collect:
How does Tapjoy use information collected through the ad platform?
We use the information we collect through our ad platform in the following ways;
We keep this collected information as long as it remains necessary to provide the Tapjoy Services.
How does Tapjoy share information collected through the ad platform?
Tapjoy does not buy, sell, or trade information with unrelated third parties. We collect the information we use through our ad platform, and we use it internally within our ad platform. This information is shared in only with authorized partners or vendors, as follows:
How long does Tapjoy keep information collected through the ad platform?
We keep information as long as necessary to provide our services, generally speaking. Information used for interest-based ad targeting is rotated out on a 90-day basis. Conversion data and non-production backups of production data are retained for longer due to financial records and disaster recovery requirements.
How can I opt out of interest-based advertising?
If you prefer not to receive ads and offers that are tailored to your perceived interests, you can enable device-based “opt-out” options in your device’s settings. If you do so, we will cease processing your personal data for such purposes. We collect these opt-out signals ourselves, and will also respect consent flags if passed by the publisher of the app you are using. To adjust your advertising preferences in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. To adjust your advertising preferences in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads. You can also request an opt-out specific to Tapjoy by emailing us at gdpr-optout@tapjoy.com and following the directions we provide you.
Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean opting out of advertising altogether. You will still receive advertising, but it will not be targeted based on your inferred interests.
Customer Support Information
To submit a request for Tapjoy customer support (for example, for help with a missing Tapjoy ad offer reward), you must submit a working email address; this is required for us to be able to communicate with you about investigating and resolving your support issue. Emails and other information submitted for support purposes are used only for support purposes; depending on the circumstances, this may require us to share your information with the advertiser and publisher whose advertisement and app are involved.
Tapjoy dashboard
Our advertisers and publishers have access to a Tapjoy dashboard, which allows them to manage their use of Tapjoy services and review their results. When you create a dashboard account, you provide information such as your name, the name of your company, your username and password, your email address, postal address, phone number, and payment information, as well as any required financial information (e.g., tax ID, VAT, or sales tax registration number). We use Stripe to process Advertiser credit card payments. We use this information to provide you with Tapjoy services and support. If you invite other users to your Tapjoy dashboard account, we will collect the email address of the employee or other individual you wish to add and use it to send them a one-time email informing them they have been added. If they are not your employee, you must have their consent before providing us with their email address to invite them to join your dashboard account.
Tapjoy website and social media
Our corporate website, www.tapjoy.com, provides general information about Tapjoy and our products and services; we also maintain a blog and various social media channels. If you post information through one of these channels, you understand that we cannot control what other users do with any content (including without limitation images, ratings, captions, and comments) you voluntarily post. You should not post any sensitive personal data, such as details of your ethnicity, health or political preferences or photos of yourself to any Tapjoy board, blog, social media channel, or forum, nor should you allow other users to have access to your content if you do not wish them to make your content publicly available to be collected and used by others, or to be redistributed through the Internet and other media channels.
Aggregated data
We may aggregate, anonymize and/or de-identify information collected through our website, dashboard, and social media channels so that the information no longer relates to you individually. As a result, our use and disclosure of aggregated and/or de-identified information is not restricted by this Privacy Policy, and it may be used and disclosed to others without limitation.
Cookies and Related Tracking Technologies.
When you use our website and dashboard, we may place and read cookies or access information on your device to obtain information about the performance of our site, enable you to move around the site, to record your preferences and to serve you with advertising that is relevant to your interests. This information may, where permitted by applicable law, then be combined with other information we hold about you. Information and technologies we may use include:
Online Analytics
To help understand your use of our website and dashboard, we use third-party web analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, which in turn use the technology described above at Cookies and related tracking technologies. Our service providers collect and use this information to evaluate how websites are used. To opt out of tracking via Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
How Tapjoy uses information collected through our website and dashboard
We use the information we collect through your use of our corporate website and our dashboard to provide our services, to manage your publisher or advertiser account, to do business with you as a publisher or advertiser (including taking orders, reporting results, and so on), to communicate with you (including responding to your inquiries, informing you about products and services based on your marketing preferences, and notifying you of new features), to analyze our user base and usage patterns, and to provide and improve our services. We also use this information to improve our corporate website content and to personalize the dashboard for you. We keep the information we collect for so long as we continue to provide our website, dashboard, and services.
How does Tapjoy share information collected through the website and dashboard?
We don’t buy, sell, or trade in information collected through our website and dashboard. We share it only as described here:
What choices do I have about use of information related to Tapjoy’s website or dashboard?
Tapjoy Apps
We no longer collect information from or about users of our legacy apps (TapDefense, TapOut, Coloroid, TapColors, Void Walker) and legacy app-discovery and currency-management services (MyTapjoy). We are no longer maintaining, updating, or supporting these apps and services; continued use is at the sole option and risk of the user.
General Privacy Practices
How does Tapjoy secure personal information?
Tapjoy processes personal information only as relevant or necessary to provide our services. We use physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to safeguard your information and data security, and to prevent unauthorized access to. These safeguards take into account the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process, and store and the current state of technology. Although we take such measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, the Internet and the services are not 100% secure so we cannot assure you that all information we collect or store will be protected from all unauthorized access.
International Users
If you are located outside the United States and choose to use our services or provide information to us, your information is provided to Tapjoy in the United States, and may be and processed and stored in the United States and otherwise outside of your country of residence, by Tapjoy and by third parties with whom we share in accordance with this privacy policy.
Child and youth users
In compliance with applicable laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA”), Tapjoy does not knowingly collect personal information from children, except as permitted by applicable law for support for internal operations. (In the US, the minimum age of consent is 13; in the EEA and Switzerland, it is age 16 unless your country has adopted a lower age.)
Please inform us by emailing privacy@tapjoy.com if you learn that we have been provided with personal information from a child under the applicable minimum age without verified parental consent, so that we may take appropriate steps to delete that personal information.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update (amend) this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our services, or advances in technology. Please check this page periodically for changes and review them carefully, as our use of information at a given point is governed by the Privacy Policy that is then in effect. Your continued use of our services after a Privacy Policy update means that you understand and acknowledge the applicability of the updated policy.
Third Party Sites and Services
Our services and communications may contain links to third-party websites, including social media services. Your use of these links, websites, or services may result in the collection, processing or sharing of information about you, depending on what you use. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites or services that may be linked on our services. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites or services. Any information you choose to provide to these services, or that they collect, is covered by their privacy policy rather than ours, so please make sure to read it.
Notice to California Users
California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. As explained above, we do not sell or share your personal information (as that term is defined under California law) with third parties for use for their own marketing purposes.
Accessing and Deleting Your Information.
You may, under applicable European law, have the right to access, correct, update or delete personal information Tapjoy holds about you. Please see Exercising your rights as an app user below for more information about those rights.
If you have a Tapjoy publisher or advertiser dashboard account, you may use your account settings to access and update your account information. You may also email us at privacy@tapjoy.com to request access to or removal of personal information we have about you. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information (e.g., for legal reasons), in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), effective May 25, 2018 in the EEA countries and Switzerland, requires Tapjoy and the publishers and advertisers using our services to provide app users with information about the processing of personal data. (“Personal data”, as used in the GDPR, means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, address, cookie identifiers, mobile device identifiers, and more; “app user” here means the person involved; and “processing” of data includes collection, storage, and use.)
This section provides representations and information in compliance with our GDPR obligations, for the benefit of our users located in the EEA countries and Switzerland only.
Legal grounds for processing your personal data
The GDPR requires us to identify the legal ground we’re relying on to process personal data about you. Our legal grounds for processing your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy will typically be because:
Transfers of personal data
We are based in the United States with offices around the world, and work with other global companies and technologies. As a result, we may need to transfer your personal data outside of its country of origin. For instance, we may transfer your personal data to commercial partners or service providers located in jurisdictions outside the EEA and Switzerland, which have data protection laws less strict than those in Europe.
When Tapjoy receives personal data that is transferred from the EEA or Switzerland to Tapjoy in the US, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect it; we use European standard contractual clauses and data processing agreements where required by European Data Protection Law, and are in the process of certifying to EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks. If approved, our Privacy Shield certification will be available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. We comply with Privacy Shield Principles for all transfers from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions. When Tapjoy receives information under the Privacy Shield and then transfers it to a third-party service provider acting as an agent on our behalf, Tapjoy has certain liability under the Privacy Shield if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield and (ii) Tapjoy is responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. Contact us at privacy@tapjoy.com for more information about the safeguards we use to protect your personal data and privacy rights.
Personal data retention
As a general matter, we retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services, or for other important purposes such as complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. We generally rotate through personal data used for ad personalization on a 90-day timetable, provided that we may retain data if we have a legal or significant operational need to do so, such as for auditing, corporate record-keeping, compliance, accounting or bug-fixes.
If you are a Tapjoy advertiser or publisher, we retain your information as long as your account is active and for as long as necessary for legal or operational purposes, such as auditing, corporate record-keeping, compliance, or accounting, after its closure.
Exercising your rights
As an individual covered by the GDPR, you have certain rights about the personal data that data controllers hold about you, including right of access, right to request correction, right to be forgotten (i.e., deletion), and right to object to processing (including profiling for online ad targeting).
Right to Access
If you are a consumer and wish to exercise your right to access personal data we process as a data controller, you may do so by requesting access through the e-mail address gdpr-access@tapjoy.com and following the instructions we provide you to authenticate your request and obtain access. We will assess requests to exercise data access rights on a case-by-case basis, factoring in the difficulty of verifying whether a mobile device identifier, and the data we have linked to it, truly and solely belongs to the person making the request, as well as the potential risk of harm through disclosure of personal data to the wrong individual. Because improper disclosure would likely harm the privacy rights and freedoms of the person involved, we may limit the personal data we make available. We only grant requests where we are the data controller, as explained further, below. Where we act as a processor for one of our advertisers or publishers, we will refer your request to that company; if your request involves an advertiser or publisher, please identify them (if possible) to simplify this process.
If you have a Tapjoy publisher or advertiser dashboard account, you may use your account settings to access and update or delete account information. You may also request access by emailing us at gdpr-access@tapjoy.com.
Right to Correct
If you wish to exercise your right to correct Personal Data, you may do so by contacting us at the contact information below.
Right to Object to Processing or to Withdraw Consent
By enabling device-based “opt-out” options in your device’s settings, you may withdraw consent for processing where we rely on consent. If you do so, we will cease processing your personal data for such purposes within 30 days. We collect these opt-out signals ourselves, and will also respect consent flags if passed by the publisher of the app you are using. To adjust your advertising preferences in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. To adjust your advertising preferences in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads. You can also request an opt-out specific to Tapjoy by emailing us at gdpr-optout@tapjoy.com and following the directions we provide you.
Right to Erasure
You also have the right to request erasure of personal data that we hold as a controller. The above opt-out process satisfies this right, because when a user opts-out (whether through device settings or by submitting a request to gdpr-optout@tapjoy.com and following our instructions), we stop using your personal data to provide our services to you; the data is permanently rendered disconnected to your device and will be automatically deleted from our production system. We may retain copies of some personal data for our own internal and necessary purposes, such as auditing, accounting and billing, legal, bug-detection, backups, and (if applicable) to ensure that you receive and that we are able to track the rewards you have received.
Right to Lodge Complaints.
We encourage you to contact us at the contact information below should you have a Privacy Shield-related (or general privacy-related) complaint. If you are a resident of the European Union or Switzerland and are dissatisfied with the manner in which we have addressed your concerns about our privacy practices, you may seek further assistance, at no cost to you, from our designated Privacy Shield independent recourse mechanism, JAMS, on their website at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield. As further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles, a binding arbitration option will also be made available to you in order to address residual complaints not resolved by any other means. Prior to initiating such arbitration, you must: (1) contact us and afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) seek assistance from our designated independent recourse mechanism; and (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European Data Protection Authority) and afford the Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Please be advised that, pursuant to the Privacy Shield, the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the individual. Tapjoy is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Tapjoy: a data controller and a data processor
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “data processors”). If you have a question or complaint about how your personal data is handled, we encourage you to direct your inquiry to the relevant data controller, since data controllers have primary responsibility for your personal data.
Tapjoy may act as either a data controller or a data processor in handling your personal data, depending on the precise circumstances. For instance, for personal data that we use internally to create our data-related services, such as interest-based ad targeting, and for personal data that we collect about our publisher and advertiser customers for use in marketing to them, we are a data controller. But when we handle personal data strictly on behalf of our customers to provide our services to them (for example, if they provide us with a list of device identifiers to use for targeting or suppression), we are a data processor. If you have questions about data that is used primarily on behalf of one of our publishers or advertisers, you should contact them.
To opt-out of Tapjoy services, email gdpr-optout@tapjoy.com and follow the provided instructions.
To access your personal information, email gdpr-access@tapjoy.com and follow the provided instructions.
If you have other questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send a message to privacy@tapjoy.com, or mail us at Tapjoy, Inc., 353 Sacramento Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111, U.S., Attn: Privacy.
Our representative in the EU may be reached by writing to Tapjoy Limited, International Buildings, 5th floor, 71 Kingsway, London WC2B 6ST, UK.

Tapjoy uses the information we collect when you use our Partner Apps or visit our websites to serve you with interest-based ads based on your inferred interests, preferences and location.
If you prefer not to receive ads that are tailored to your interests, you can opt out of Tapjoy using your information for interest-based advertising purposes at any time. Depending on the type of device you have, you will need to either change settings on the device or submit your Device ID.
Please note that if you opt out of Tapjoy using your information for interest-based advertising, you may no longer receive offers through the Tapjoy network including offers to receive rewards by responding to ads hosted by Tapjoy within Partner Apps. You may still receive “generic” ads from us that are not based on your inferred interests.
Opting out on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPads or iPods:
If you have an iOS device, you can opt out of interest-based advertising by updating to iOS 6.0 or higher, and setting Limit Ad Tracking to ‘ON’. You can do this by clicking on Settings -> General -> About -> Advertising and toggling Limit Ad Tracking to ‘ON’. The Tapjoy Platform is designed to respect your choice and not use information to provide interest-based advertising when this setting is ON.

This Tapjoy Data Processing Addendum (“Tapjoy DPA”), effective May 25, 2018, is incorporated into and part of the agreement between Tapjoy, Inc. (“Tapjoy”) and you (“you”, and “Advertiser” or “Publisher” as applicable) relating to your use of Tapjoy’s Advertising Service, Publisher Services, or both (such services collectively, the “Tapjoy Services”, and the agreements applicable to you (“Advertising Agreement” and/or “Publisher Agreement”, as applicable, and collectively, your “Tapjoy Agreements”), available at http://www.tapjoy.com/legal.
If and to the extent you provide Tapjoy with personal data originating in the EEA or Switzerland, you and Tapjoy agree that this DPA governs our respective collection, transfer, and processing of personal data in the course of our provision and your use of our Services.

Attachment 1
Tapjoy Security Measures
Tapjoy Facilities Access Control
To protect access to physical premises, systems, and networks, Tapjoy’s industry-standard security measures include radio frequency identification (RFID) door lock schedules, single employee badges, and on-site security personnel.
Tapjoy Systems Access Control
To protect Tapjoy’s online systems, Tapjoy requires complex passwords (upper case, lower case, numerical, symbol characters) and enforce a Last-4 password rotation with lockout after failed attempts, as well as single sign-on (SSO) with multi-factor authentication. Suspicious activity, user accounts, and permissions are reviewed quarterly and audited annually. Tapjoy’s critical system access control policy for dashboard, engineering back-end production systems, and financial systems provides that all access must be approved by a vice-president or higher. Access requests are captured for audit trail, and access levels are audited and re-approved annually.
Tapjoy Network and Data
To protect Tapjoy’s network, Tapjoy employs full disk encryption on laptops and mobile accounts mastered by an Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). All Tapjoy code and technological infrastructure are protected by multifactor authentication. The Tapjoy Dashboard is controlled via role assignments and audited via login list files for access control; internal user access is controlled by SSO. Changes or additions to a role or its accessibility require Vice President approval.
Tapjoy Storage and Transfer Control
Collected personal data is encrypted at rest, across the Tapjoy infrastructure. Use of SSL is required for external traffic. Whenever possible, data is anonymized or pseudonymized. Advertiser payment information is never accepted or processed directly, as Tapjoy uses PCI-compliant third parties to provide this service.
Tapjoy Job Control
To segregate the responsibilities between controller and processor, Tapjoy puts in place a contract with specific language and monitored performance between Advertiser, as data controller/exporter, and Tapjoy, as data processor/importer.
Tapjoy Availability Control
To protect data against accidental destruction or loss, Tapjoy implements appropriate backup procedures, remote storage, and antivirus/firewall systems, as well as disaster recovery protocol.
Tapjoy Input Control
Tapjoy implements logging and reporting systems to maintain full documentation for data management and maintenance.
