How does Atlantis Media Design use my information?

Atlantis Media Design uses data provided to us from our server log files to provide aggregated information useful to our advertisers and business partners.

In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little about you, Atlantis Media Design is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content and hence better service, to you. In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, Atlantis Media Design plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). Atlantis Media Design takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting those criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads and pop-up ads.

Who is collecting information?

Atlantis Media Design collects information only through its server log files.

Please be aware that Atlantis Media Design advertisers or web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those web sites linked to Atlantis Media Design are not covered by this privacy statement.
