Maintaining your Personal Data (the same as Personal Information) secure, while ensuring your Privacy is really a big deal for Adpulse.
The Adpulse brand as well as the online Service is owned by PPC Samurai, and Adpulse proceeds with the herein desribed Processing of Personal Data.
The goal of this text is to inform everyone of what Personal Data we (Adpulse) collect and why; how it is handled by us; what entitles us to process it; and your rights under the applicable Personal Data Protection laws.
Personal Data means any data that either on its own or if cross-referenced with other data allows the identification of one specific natural person.
We DO NOT, nor will ever sell Personal Data.
We will modify this Privacy Policy, from time to time, on a need basis, always posting a time-stamped updated version.

We will maintain your Personal Data for the duration of the service contract with our Corporate Client (where that is the case) or until you ask us to erase it by exercising your Rights under the law.
Note that if you have been enlisted towards us by our Corporate Client and you ask for your Personal Data to be erased, we will inform our Corporate Client of that request, since our contractual obligation is to assure the service towards all of its registered users and the Corporate Client is the Controller under the Law.
The erasure of your Personal Data takes place over both “live repositories” as well as backups as determined under the law upon 30 days of either your valid request for it to be erased (if you have enrolled yourself towards our services), the confirmation from our Corporate Client of the request for erasure (is you have been enrolled by a Corporate Client) or after termination of the service contract with our Corporate Client or with you if that is the case.
We resort to secure and encrypted hosting environments to host and process your Personal Data, observing by the highest market standards and operated under market best practices, and all transfer of Data from and to your browser is also encrypted.
