1.2 Scope

Leap Media Group LLC is an advertising technology and services company that facilitates advertising via video on demand dynamic advertisement insertion (“VOD DAI”), the Leap Media Group LLC addressable services, and the service assurance (collectively, the “Services”).  Our Services are designed in part to deliver more relevant and interesting advertisements to End Users.  The Services include the following:

 

2.2.1     VOD DAI: As End Users watch a video asset on a video on demand (“VOD”) basis, Leap Media Group LLC may facilitate the dynamic insertion of advertisements before, during, and after such asset.  VOD DAI may be delivered across multiple VOD-enabled devices such as set-top-boxes, tablets, laptops, and mobile phones.  Leap Media Group LLC provides to its Clients a service assurance across these VOD-enabled devices to ensure a better consumer experience.

 

2.2.2     Addressable Services: Leap Media Group LLC provides VOD and linear addressable services.  Addressability uses data and technology to enable the delivery of relevant advertisements to certain subsets of End Users in accordance with certain industry and consumer privacy guidelines.  Addressability allows households watching the same video asset to experience different advertisements tailored to the specific interests of each household.  The addressable services may be delivered across multiple devices such as set-top-boxes, tablets, laptops, and mobile phones.  Leap Media Group LLC provides to its Clients a service assurance across these devices to ensure a better consumer experience.

Device identifiers: E.g., mobile advertising IDs like iOS IDFA and Android AAID, IP address, OTT/CTV IDs, gaming console IDs, proprietary IDs, or other pseudonymized identifiers such as a randomized string of characters.

VOD DAI-enabled or Addressable Services-enabled devices: Leap Media Group LLC may receive certain information as End Users view a video asset enabled for one or more Services.  In these cases, Leap Media Group LLC is provided the End User’s television distributor when they interact with such video asset.  For example, Leap Media Group LLC may collect information from VOD-enabled devices such as set-top-boxes, tablets, laptops, and mobile phones after a VOD session ends.
