Grivy

Grivy is an advertising and coupon distribution platform used by brands to run promotional campaigns and digital reward programs across publisher inventory.

Overview

What does Grivy do?

What Grivy is

Grivy is a digital advertising and coupon distribution platform that brands use to deploy promotional campaigns, reward programs and conditional offers on publisher and partner inventory. The platform serves coupons, tracks redemption events and measures effectiveness through cookies and a JavaScript SDK installed on the publisher pages.

What data Grivy collects

Grivy collects an anonymous visitor identifier through cookies, the IP address, the user agent, page URLs, coupon impressions, click events, redemption events and the brand to which the conversion is attributed. The data are used for campaign analytics, segmentation and reporting.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Cookies and identifiers stored on the device fall under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and require prior consent. The cross site profiling involved in audience measurement and the absence of an adequacy decision for the data importer make consent the only realistic legal basis under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Consent requirements

Block the Grivy SDK and its cookies until the visitor accepts marketing or advertising in your consent banner. Avoid bundling Grivy with strictly necessary categories. Honour withdrawal by stopping events and removing the cookies.

Data transfers

Grivy is operated from Indonesia, which does not benefit from a GDPR adequacy decision. Transfers from the EEA require Standard Contractual Clauses, supplementary measures (encryption, pseudonymisation) and a documented transfer impact assessment that addresses local surveillance laws.

Practical compliance steps

Sign a Data Processing Agreement and the SCCs, document Grivy in your record of processing activities, run a DPIA, gate the SDK behind your CMP, restrict events to those needed for measurement and offer a user level opt out that excludes the visitor from Grivy audiences.

Compliance

Grivy and the GDPR

Grivy is classified as “Marketing”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.

Impact assessment (DPIA)

A DPIA is required because Grivy combines advertising profiling with reward and coupon redemption data, and transfers personal data to a country without an adequacy decision.
