Privacy Policy

Latest update date: April 10, 2024

The TurboLink Guiding Privacy Principles

TurboLink is a deep linking and attribution analytics platform for app and website developers. We are proud of our commitment to providing our services in a privacy-first way. So we thought it would be helpful to lay out, in plain English, the TurboLink Guiding Privacy Principles that drive how we’ve chosen to design our services with privacy as a top priority. We further describe our privacy practices in the official Privacy Policy below this section, but we hope you’ll find this summary of our principles helpful.

Beyond these principles stated above, TurboLink will continue to find ways to design our services to respect end user privacy. We’re committed to making sure our customers understand how we use data they entrust to us and how they can control it so that they can, in turn, be transparent with their end users.

Introduction

TurboLink offers a linking and analytics platform enabling developers of applications (our "Clients")--whether those applications are websites or "apps," and across different types of devices ("Digital Properties")--to improve their end users’ ("Users") cross-application experiences, and to derive additional insights into how their Users download and utilize those applications. TurboLink recognizes and believes that data privacy is important to all Internet users, and therefore we design and operate our services in a privacy-first manner.

This Privacy Policy is divided into three parts:

  • Collection and Use of Information from Our Services: This section explains how TurboLink collects and uses information about Users in connection with our linking and analytics products and services (the "TurboLink Services" or the "Services").

  • Collection and Use of Information from Our Website and for Marketing Purposes: This section explains how we collect and use information about our website visitors through our website located at TurboLink (the “Website”), which includes the dashboard we provide to our Clients located at dashboard.branchcn.com. So, if you are a Client using our TurboLink dashboard, this section applies to the data we collect from you. It also explains how we collect information about potential Clients from vendors and other sources to enhance our marketing efforts.

  • Policies Applicable to Both Our Services & Our Website: This section lays out the parts of the TurboLink Privacy Policy that apply to both the Services and to the Website.

TurboLink and its Clients have entered into an agreement that governs the provision of Services by TurboLink and their use by Clients ("Agreement(s)"). Such Agreements may contain obligations on the parties with respect to the handling of information processed in the Services. Nothing in this Privacy Policy derogates from such obligations.

Collection and Use of Information from Our Services

What Information Does TurboLink Collect from Our Services?

Below, we explain what information we collect on behalf of our Clients through the Services, and how we use it. We process information in a way that is relevant for the purpose for which it was collected as described below.

The TurboLink Services: Overview

TurboLink provides a variety of Services intended to help Clients understand the use of their Digital Properties by their Users across a wide array of platforms, devices and applications. TurboLink helps Clients by connecting User interactions across siloed applications (email, SMS, web browsers, social platforms, native applications and others), so that Clients understand the multiple steps that a User took to ultimately complete a transaction with the Client. The Client can use this information to better inform marketing and product decisions as well as to provide improved user experiences by using their knowledge of continuity.

TurboLink has no direct relationship with Users. TurboLink’s Services are provided when TurboLink Clients install on their platforms “TurboLink Mechanisms” (including links, pixels, direct platform integrations, etc.) that capture User action on behalf of the Client. Using the information collected from these TurboLink Mechanisms, TurboLink uses a variety of attribution techniques to connect User actions across different channels and platforms. Some of these attribution techniques include a direct pass-through of identifiers from platform to platform, creating and storing identifiers unique to the TurboLink platform to connect User actions and identifiers together, and predictive modeling algorithms using real-time and historical data parameters observed from User interactions where there are no shared identifiers available, as well as using historical connections TurboLink has derived over time using our technology. In some cases, these connections are made without the use of cookies. These techniques help Clients match Users with devices they use, including matching the same User across multiple devices.

The key use cases of TurboLink’s Services are:

  • To support Clients in implementing deep linking, which uses TurboLink’s connection information in real time to improve the User experience. For example, if a User clicks on a link in an email or ad to a specific page in a Client’s app, TurboLink helps the User get to that page after they download the app.

  • To report individualized and aggregated analytics metrics about the performance of the Client’s product and marketing initiatives to the Client directly. For example, TurboLink can tell a Client how many Users that downloaded an app or that went to a specific page in an app came from clicking on a specific link and provide corresponding advertising or other identifiers.

  • To assist the Client by presenting real time, targeted messaging to their Users depending on past behavior observed across the Client’s tracked platforms with the purpose of driving more engagement to the Client. For example, TurboLink can use TurboLink Mechanisms to provide a tailored message like a coupon code or special offer in your website to users who have interacted with your app and/or website in the past.

    TurboLink requires that each Client commit to disclose to TurboLink only information that it has lawfully obtained (including, where necessary, by obtaining consent from Users), and that it has the right to disclose to TurboLink. We strongly discourage Clients from disclosing sensitive User information with us, as such information is not necessary for the provision of the Services, and we prohibit them from providing us with data relating to children under 13 (or, in certain jurisdictions, under 16). TurboLink collects data through various methods, including:

    • When the Client integrates TurboLink’s SDK’s, API’s, pixels, redirect links, JavaScript tags, cookies or similar data collection technologies into their Digital Properties and/or ads;

    • From the various advertising networks and third parties that are used by the Client in connection with the measurement and analysis of Client’s marketing campaigns and that have partnered with TurboLink;

    • When provided voluntarily by the Client as part of the TurboLink account registration process;

      In the charts below, we summarize the information collected automatically by theServices.

Information Collected By TurboLink Links

TurboLink collects the following information from URLs created by the Client (i.e., TurboLink Links) and pixels placed on Client websites. TurboLink Links may be embedded into QR Codes as configured by the Client. Some of this information is considered personal data under applicable law (in other words, information that itself may identify a unique individual or can be linked back to an individual) (“Personal Data”). Since Clients have sole control over their Digital Properties and configuration of the Services, Clients are contractually prohibited from configuring the Services to collect directly identifiable personal information , unless otherwise agreed by TurboLink. If a Client has configured the Services to collect directly identifiable personal information, then TurboLink may receive and process such data. This includes, for example, a Client using an End User’s email address as a Client issued Developer ID.

Engagement Data Information relating to the Client’s ad campaigns and User interactions, such as clicks on Client ads, Client ad impressions viewed, audiences or segments to which an ad campaign is attributed, type of ads and the webpage from which such ads were displayed, and webpages on Client’s website visited by a User. Other interactions, events and actions Clients choose to measure and analyze within their website (e.g., add to cart, purchases made, clicks, engagement time etc.).

Information Collected by TurboLink SDKs

SDKs are Software Development Kits that include code that allows Clients to use the TurboLink Services. The TurboLink Mobile App SDKs, Web SDKs, and Over-the-Top (OTT) SDKs collect the following information when Clients use these SDKs in their applications or websites, some of which may be considered Personal Data under applicable law:

Type of Information Collected Purpose

Other interactions, events and actions Clients choose to measure and analyze within their application (e.g., add to cart, purchases made, clicks, engagement time etc.).

Information Collected By Other Parties

As part of TurboLink’s Services, TurboLink’s Clients may direct certain of their vendors or business partners (such as an ad network or vendor) that have partnered with TurboLink to provide certain Engagement Data to TurboLink on the Client’s behalf in connection with the measurement and analysis of the Client's marketing campaigns.

How Does TurboLink Use Information Collected by Our Services?

Data that TurboLink collects through the Services is processed to provide, maintain, optimize, research and improve the Services we provide our Clients, including to support other TurboLink products and services, to perform anti-fraud protection analysis, develop new products and services, and market products or services; to support the products and services of our Clients; and as permitted or required by applicable law.

We may aggregate and/or de-identify the data we collect through the Services. After data has been aggregated and/or de-identified, TurboLink cannot use it to personally identify an individual. We may use de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes, and may also disclose such data to any other parties, including business partners, Clients, and/or others.

Our Clients’ Use of Information

Our Clients may use the information collected via the Services to improve their Users’ app experiences, customize their Digital Properties to Users, and to better understand their app marketing programs and how Users discover their apps. For example, a User may want to disclose information about a hotel that she found in a travel app to a friend. When that User sends her friend a TurboLink link to that hotel, after clicking the link the friend is brought directly to the content relating to that hotel within the app, rather than landing on the app’s homepage and having to search for the hotel. The travel app would also gain insights and analytics as to how the content is being disclosed from its app.

We require that our Clients utilize our Services responsibly and in accordance with our Terms & Conditions. TurboLink is not responsible for the data practices of any of our Clients through the Services or otherwise. Each Client’s practices are subject to each Client’s individual privacy policy. Users should review the privacy policy of each Client to understand how that Client uses User information collected through the Services.

User Choices

TurboLink recognizes a number of consumer choice mechanisms. Due to the nature of the Services, some functionality may be degraded or no longer work as a result if you exercise certain of the opt-outs below.

urboLink’s Browser Cookie Opt-Out: Our cookie-based opt-out can be accessed by clicking here. This will place a TurboLink opt-out cookie on your browser. Where TurboLink detects the presence of that opt-out cookie, we will no longer read or set cookies (beyond the opt-out cookie itself). Cookie-based opt outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted-out. For example, if you have opted-out on your computer browser, that opt out will not be effective on your mobile device.

Device-Based Opt-Out: You can submit a request to opt out of the TurboLink Services on a particular device by submitting a request here.

Device Identifiers: To use your device’s privacy settings controls, please visit the privacy settings menu of your device to review and access the privacy controls made available on the device. TurboLink will only be able to collect information from the device as permitted by these settings.

Client App Opt-out Controls: TurboLink‘s SDK Privacy Controls allow Clients to respect granular controls regarding User data. Clients can flag in the TurboLink SDK that a particular User’s data should not be processed by TurboLink, in which case TurboLink will no longer process engagement data on behalf of the Client for that User.

Engagement Builder: TurboLink's Engagement Builder feature may be used to help Clients conduct re-engagement and re-targeting campaigns. We require that Clients using TurboLink’s Engagement Builder feature for such purposes respect User opt-out preferences passed to them by TurboLink.
