Consumer AI’s Privacy Policy complies with the CAN-SPAM Act, the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the California Privacy Protection Act, and the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Privacy Promise.
Consumer AI and its affiliates provide a variety of data management, distribution, analytic and marketing services, which help our clients and the platforms and partners they work with provide more relevant marketing. Many of these services are described in greater detail on our website, https://www.ConsumerAI.com. Our clients in turn, may reach their customers and others through direct mail, email, display, mobile and multi-media channels.
Most of the information that we handle is not collected on this website, but through data suppliers, business partners, data services providers, agencies and our clients. Nevertheless, we provide this Privacy Policy as a service to consumers and others who want to learn more about the data we handle and how we use it. If you are interested particularly in the information we collect on this website, please go to the Section 4 (“Data Collected On Our Website”).
Consumer AI adheres to the principle that consumers should have choices regarding how marketers use their data and market to them. For information about how to opt out of our database, or out of certain services provided by our business partners, please go to our section titled “Your Choices and Opt-Out Rights.”
Consumer AI receives data from, and handles data on behalf of, a variety of B2C and B2B companies, applications and services, and data compilers and suppliers. We also may obtain data through public sources. Some of the data we receive, use and make available is Personal Information (“PI”) or is linked to PI. PI includes, for instance, name, postal address, telephone number or email address. In addition, some of our services involve using and making available “business to business” data, which is obtained from a number of sources, including public directories, filings and publications, surveys and subscriptions.
We also collect certain information when you visit our
website, https://www.ConsumerAI.com, as described in the section 4 titled “Data Collected on Our Website.”
We use and make available Personal Information for various purposes. For instance,
In addition, when we work with online marketing applications such as through web-based, mobile, or other technologies, these marketing applications may de-identify Personal Information such as creating a “hashed” version of an email address, or another associated identifier in order to reach consumers through online display media. These marketing applications use cookies and similar technologies, often associated with unique online identifiers. Similarly, when we interact with consumers online, such as through a website or online ad or an email, we may employ cookies and similar technologies, which also may contain unique online identifiers. To learn more about these technologies, please go to the section below titled “Cookies, Web Pixels and Similar Technologies” and to opt out of the use of these technologies by many marketing applications that employ them for third party behavioral tracking and similar types of ad targeting, please go to the section titled “Your Choices and Opt-Out Rights.”

We may share data, including PI and Data Segments, with agents, business partners and service providers who work on our behalf, or to help us provide services requested by our customers, including to perform any of the services described in this Privacy Policy. We may do so, for instance, to help send or target advertising on behalf of our clients (or ourselves), for analytical purposes, to measure campaigns, or inform future campaigns. We may do so to facilitate the sending of display media, email, or other requested services.
We may share some or all of the data in our possession with affiliated or subsidiary companies.
This section provides more information about cookies and similar technologies that we and our business partners may use, and how they work.
Cookies are small text files that websites and other online services use to store information about users on users’ own computers. For instance, cookies can be used to store sign-in credentials so that you don’t have to enter them each time you return to a website, or to store other information to make web viewing more customized or efficient upon future visits. Cookies also may store a unique identifier tied to your computer so that web services and content and advertising networks can recognize you across visits to different websites. You can configure your internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse all or certain cookies completely. However, this may interfere with the functionality of your web browsing or your ability to fully use many websites.
Pixels or web beacons may also communicate information from your Internet browser to a web server. Pixels can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed.
We sometimes work with third parties to enhance our services (e.g. for purposes of retargeting and tailoring ads or placing browser cookies). These partners may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your device, which may have cookies with varying expiration period. Those partners may, likewise, collect various types of anonymous or de-identified information about your browser, device, or browsing activities through use of these cookies
We also may place cookies when you open an email that we send, in order to help understand how email recipients respond to email campaigns, or to learn more (or help our clients learn more) about those recipients.
When you visit our website, we (or a partner we work with) may place cookies to help us target or re-target marketing to you when you visit other websites or web or mobile applications – for instance, to tell you about our services, events and other information about our company.
Please note that our business partners may also use cookies and pixels, which we have no control over.
You may send an email to team@ConsumerAI.com, to opt out of Consumer AI’s database. If you do so, please include the following information in your email: (a) first and last name, and (b) current address. We also recommend that you provide us with other addresses you have lived at in the past five years, which may help us to opt you out even if we have not yet acquired your current address information. If you decide to opt out in this way, we will stop using data in Consumer AI’s proprietary database to help our customers send or tailor ads and content to you, including through email, direct mail or online display marketing. (It usually takes us between 30 to 60 days to process this opt out through all of our databases.) Doing so will not opt you out of our customers’ or our partners’ databases, only data in Consumer AI’s own database – so other companies that we work with may still send ads, offers and content to you.
If you wish to opt out of other third party ad platforms and ad networks, we recommend visiting the opt-out pages offered by the Network Advertising Initiative and the DAA’s AboutAds program.
In addition, when we send an email to you (whether on our behalf or on behalf of a client), we will provide a way for you to opt out of receiving emails from us in the future. Usually, this appears as an “unsubscribe” or “opt out” link in the footer of the email.
Consumer AI takes steps to ensure that the data we possess is housed and transmitted securely. These steps may include various methods of physical and electronic security, firewall protections, encryption and hashing of data, and access controls to PI. However, neither we nor any platform can guarantee 100 percent safety from hacks or illegal intrusion, so this Privacy Policy does not guarantee against that possibility.
