How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes: providing and improving our websites; responding to inquiries and customer service requests; lead generation (delivering qualified leads to advertising clients based on voluntary form submissions on PinPoint Network sites); advertising (displaying relevant ads and measuring ad effectiveness); analytics and audience insights (aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data for advertising clients); communications to opted-in users only; legal compliance; and security and fraud prevention.

How We Share Your Information

4.1 Lead Generation Clients — When you submit information through a lead generation form on a PinPoint Network site, your submission may be shared with the associated advertising client. By submitting a lead form, you consent to this sharing.

4.2 Service Providers — We share information with service providers who assist us with hosting and infrastructure, analytics and measurement, email and communications, and advertising technology. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by us.

4.4 Aggregated and De-Identified Data — We may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not identify individual users with partners, clients, and for research purposes.

Proprietary Data Network

Summit Audience Segments, LLC operates a proprietary audience data network. Audience segments built within this network are derived from exclusive data partnerships — NOT from browsing activity on our consumer websites. Website visitor data collected on PinPoint Network sites is used for analytics, ad optimization, and aggregated audience insights. Visitor data is NOT combined with proprietary partner data to build individual profiles. Our clean room infrastructure ensures that personally identifiable information is never exposed to downstream advertising buyers.
