Martin Privacy Policy
Martin mission is to make commerce better for everyone at our platform. We get your information and use that information about you.
- our dealers using Martin to power your business
- customers who shop at a Martin
- partners who develop apps for dealers to use
- users of Martin app
- visitors to Martin website
Our privacy policy will help you to understand how we collect, use, and share your personal information. If we change our privacy policy or any changes are significant, we will let you know.
1. Values
There are total three of our values which will help you to understand, how we think about your information and privacy
- Your information belongs to you. We carefully examine what types of information we need to provide our services, and we try to limit the information we collect to only what we really need. Where possible, we delete this information when we no longer need it. When building and refining our products, our engineers work closely with our privacy and security teams to build with privacy in mind. In all of this work our guiding principle is that your information belongs to you, and we aim to only use your information to your benefit.
- We protect your information from others. If a third party requests your personal information, we will refuse to share it unless you give us permission or we are legally required. When we are legally required to share your personal information, we will tell you in advance, unless we are legally forbidden.
- We help dealers and partners meet their privacy obligations. Many of the merchants and partners using Martin do not have the benefit of a dedicated privacy team, and it is important to us to help them meet their privacy obligations. To do this, we try to build our products and services so they can easily be used in a privacy-friendly way.
2. Why we process your information?
We generally process your information when we need to do so to fulfill a contractual obligation. We only process personal information for these “legitimate interests” after considering the potential risks to your privacy for example, by providing clear transparency into our privacy practices, offering you control over your personal information where appropriate, limiting the information we keep, limiting what we do with your information, who we send your information to, how long we keep your information, or the technical measures we use to protect your information.
3. Your rights over your information
We believe you should be able to access and control your personal information no matter where you live. Depending on how you use Martin, you may have the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, port to another service provider, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information (for example, direct marketing). We will not charge you more or provide you with a different level of service if you exercise any of these rights.
If you buy something from a Martin-powered store and wish to exercise these rights over information about your purchase, you need to directly contact the merchant you interacted with. We are only a processor on their behalf, and cannot decide how to process their information. We will of course help our merchants to fulfill these requests by giving them the tools to do so and by answering their questions.
If you are a dealer, partner, Shop user, Martin employee, or other individual that Martin has a direct relationship with, please submit your data subject request through our online portal. Please note that if you send us a request relating to your personal information, we have to make sure that it is you before we can respond. In order to do so, we may use a third party to collect and verify identification documents.
If you are not happy with our response to a request, you can contact us to resolve the issue. You also have the right to contact your local data protection or privacy authority at any time.
Finally, because there is no common understanding about what a “Do Not Track” signal is supposed to mean, we don’t respond to those signals in any particular way.
4. How we protect your information
Our team protect your information, and ensure the security and integrity of our platform. We also have independent auditors assess the security of our data storage and systems that process financial information. However, we all know that no method of transmission over the Internet, and method of electronic storage, can be 100% secure. This means we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
