Why We Implemented Sellers.JSON and Supply Chain

This past June, Primis became one of the first platforms in the industry to go live with sellers.json and supply chain initiatives. It continues to be a priority for our company to be transparent both internally and externally so this decision was very much in line with our culture.

About Sellers.JSON and Supply Chain

Supply chain and sellers.json are two separate initiatives that both enable buyers to understand intermediaries. We support both of them:

Sellers. JSON

Sellers.json enables buyers to discover who, in particular, are either direct sellers or intermediaries in the selling of digital advertisements. The identities of all final sellers of a given bid request become discoverable through a published sellers.json file.

Rather than supplying this information with every bid request, sellers.json allows the material to be searched and cached offline, thus enabling smaller bid request object sizes.

Supply Chain

The SupplyChain object allows buyers to see all of the entities who are selling or reselling each impression. This is important to buyers because it makes the supply chain transparent and ensures that all intermediaries are approved. It also enables the inventory to be purchased as directly as possible.

The SupplyChain object allows publishers to plainly see who is participating in the sale of any piece of their inventory. It is composed of a set of nodes where each node signifies a particular entity that acts in the selling of an impression. The whole chain of nodes represents all of the sellers paid for each impression.

These initiatives, in addition to TAG certification, MRC accredited verification, GDPR compliance, and 100% ads.txt adoption are essential in our mission to go above and beyond for our publishing and demand partners, ensuring transparency and high quality inventory.

GDPR Compliance

At Primis, we take privacy and data protection requirements like GDPR compliance very seriously. Complying with applicable data protection laws, and safeguarding the personal data of our clients, their users and customers is of utmost importance to us.

In light of regulatory changes in this field, mainly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect on May 25, 2018, we are making necessary updates to our policies, notices and processing practices. We are ensuring that we not only comply with applicable law, but that we assist our clients to reach full compliance. We have changed our privacy policy and Terms & Conditions accordingly, reflecting how we are protecting our user’s personal information, in accordance with the new regulations.

Primis & IAB Europe

Primis’s platform is compatible with IAB Europe GDPR “Transparency & Consent Framework” launched on 24th April 2018. This framework has a simple objective – to help all parties in the digital advertising chain ensure that they comply with the new regulations when processing personal data or accessing non-personal or personal data on user devices.

As such, we strongly advise you to use this framework as it has been adopted widely by the Ad-Tech community since it was launched.

If you decide to work with this framework, our platform will automatically detect if the user is GDPR sensitive and digest the user’s consents accordingly.

In any case a publisher decides not to implement one of the approved IAB Consent Management Platforms (CMP), once the user is GDPR sensitive, our platform will automatically classify such opportunity as ‘no consent’. In these cases you can probably expect a decrease in earnings.

Let’s Talk GDPR Compliance
