1. Who we are and what we do

Who we are

LoopMe means LoopMe Limited (company number), a company registered in England and Wales and its affiliated subsidiaries (collectively, “LoopMe,” or “we“, “us“, “our“). We partner with publishers and marketers across the globe.
We follow the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Principles, the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Code of Conduct and we are a member of the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) in the UK.If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, please get in touch using the details in the How to contact us section below.

What we do

LoopMe is an outcomes-based video platform closing the loop on brand advertising.
We work with a number of businesses helping advertisers to promote their products and services to interested audiences by connecting them with websites and apps with space to offer for advertising (these we refer to as publishers). LoopMe helps advertisers to deliver relevant online advertising to visitors (i.e. you) to publisher websites and apps.
At LoopMe, we understand the advertising technology ecosystem and its many acronyms may be complex to understand. To help, we have produced a glossary of the common industry terms, which you can view here.

It can encompass a number of technology platforms, including Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), Data Management Platforms (DMPs), Supply Side Platforms (SSPs) and Ad Exchanges.
Ad Network	A technology platform that matches a Publisher’s supply of Ad Inventory with Advertisers wishing to display their Advertisements on such Ad Inventory. An Ad Network uses Programmatic Buying to facilitate this.

Advertisement (or Ad)	Refers to any form of audio, visual or textual form of information (creative) with the purpose of promoting a service, product or brand of Advertiser. Advertisements are displayed on Publisher websites and/or apps for certain fees and will typically contain links and prompts to redirect the user to the Advertiser’s website upon engaging with it.
