Privacy Policy – Marcon Marketplace

Effective Date: [02/01/2026]
Last Updated:  [02/01/2026]

Marcon Marketplace (“Marcon Marketplace,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated by Marcon International, Inc., a Washington-based company. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit or use https://marconmarketplace.com and any related online services (collectively, the “Website” or “Service”).

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we process about users and representatives of our clients and partners, including those located outside the United States, to the extent applicable law in their location applies to our processing.

This policy is intended to be clear and easy to understand while meeting expectations under applicable U.S. privacy laws, including, where they apply to us, California’s CCPA/CPRA and other state consumer privacy laws.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), or another jurisdiction with specific data protection laws, additional rights may apply to you. Where those laws apply to our processing of your personal information, we will process your personal information in accordance with those requirements as described in this Privacy Policy.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

When we interact with representatives of our business clients (for example, when a company purchases a Subscription and its staff use the Website), we generally act as an independent business (often called a “controller”) for the personal information we collect in connection with operating the Website, managing accounts, and providing support. In some cases we may also act as a service provider or processor under a separate agreement with that client, in which case the terms of that agreement will govern our processing on their behalf.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and improve Marcon Marketplace and to comply with our legal obligations.

A. Information You Provide Directly

This may include:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Company or employer name (if applicable)
  • Account login credentials
  • Listing details (items for sale or job postings)
  • Payment-related information (handled through secure payment processors)
  • Any communications you send to us (for example, emails, support requests, or other messages)

B. Account & Listing Information

If you create an account or post listings, we collect information needed to:

  • Manage your subscription
  • Display your listings
  • Communicate with you about your account

Depending on how you use the Service, this may include business contact details (such as company address, job title, or role) and information included in listings or job postings.

C. Device & Technical Information

When you visit the Website, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and actions taken on the site
  • Dates and times of access
  • Referring and exit pages, and approximate location based on IP address

This information helps us keep the Website secure and functioning properly, understand usage patterns, and improve performance.

D. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Maintain and authenticate login sessions
  • Analyze how the Website is used and improve our services
  • Help keep the Website secure

You can control cookies through your browser settings, which may allow you to block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some features of the Website may not function properly.

We may also use third party analytical tools that set their own cookies or similar technologies to help us understand how users interact with the Website.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Website
  • Create and manage user accounts
  • Process subscription payments
  • Display listings and job postings
  • Respond to inquiries and support requests
  • Send important account-related or transactional messages
  • Improve Website performance and user experience
  • Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
  • Protect the security, integrity, and rights of the Website, our users, and the public

We do not use personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without providing you with notice and, where required, obtaining your consent.

3. Payments & Billing Information

Subscription payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors.
We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.

Payment processors handle your payment information according to their own privacy and security practices. We receive from our payment processors limited information related to your payment (such as the last four digits of your card, transaction date, and status) so that we can maintain your Subscription records, handle billing inquiries, and comply with legal and accounting obligations.

4. Text Messaging & SMS Communications

If you provide your mobile phone number, you may receive transactional or account-related text messages, such as:

  • Account notifications
  • Billing or subscription updates
  • Listing-related communications

Important SMS Privacy Notice

  • We will only send text messages if you provide your number or explicitly opt in
  • You can opt out at any time by replying STOP
  • Message and data rates may apply
  • We will not use your mobile number for marketing text messages without your prior consent, where required by law.

We do not share mobile phone numbers, SMS consent data, or text messaging activity with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information is used only to communicate with you as described in this Privacy Policy or as requested by you.

5. How Information Is Disclosed

We disclose personal information only as described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • Authorized personnel who need it to operate the Website and provide support
  • Service providers that help with hosting, payments, email delivery, analytics, security, or other business operations.

Where required by law or contract, these providers are required to use information only to perform services for us, to protect it appropriately, and not to use it for their own independent purposes.

We may also disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (b) protect the rights, property, or safety of Marcon Marketplace, our users, or others; or (c) investigate or enforce potential violations of our Terms & Conditions.

We may share aggregated or deidentified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for example to describe usage patterns or to improve the Website.

Business Transfers:
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and any required notices or choices.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA/CPRA”), applies to our processing of your personal information, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and the categories of sources and purposes for such collection
  • Request access to specific pieces of your personal information
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
  • Receive equal service and pricing regardless of exercising privacy rights

We do not “sell” personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We also do not “share” personal information for crosscontext behavioral advertising.

You may exercise your California privacy rights or submit questions by using the contact information listed in the “Contact Us” section below. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests as required by applicable law.

Other State Privacy Rights:
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law (for example, in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or other states with consumer privacy statutes). Any such rights, including rights of access, deletion, correction, or to opt out of certain processing, can be exercised by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section, and we will honor them to the extent required by applicable law.

7. EEA/UK Data Protection Rights (GDPR/UK-GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA or the UK and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal information, you may have certain rights, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information and receive a copy.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances.
  • Object to or request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
  • Request portability of certain personal information to another organization.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent to process your information (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).

We generally process your personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • To perform a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into a contract (for example, to provide the Service and manage your account).
  • To comply with legal obligations (for example, recordkeeping, tax, and regulatory requirements).
  • For our legitimate interests in operating, improving, and securing the Service, communicating with you, and supporting our business operations, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
  • With your consent, where required by law (for example, for certain marketing or optional cookies).

To exercise any GDPR or UK GDPR rights, you may contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request, and we will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

8. International Data Transfers

We are located in the United States, and the personal information we collect will generally be processed in the United States. If you access the Website or provide information to us from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law (for example, for transfers from the EEA or UK), we take steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection is in place for your personal information, such as by implementing standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards approved by regulators.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

We regularly review our security measures and update them as appropriate in light of new technologies and risks, but no online system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Operate the Website
  • Maintain accounts
  • Meet legal, accounting, or contractual obligations

When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we will delete, deidentify, or anonymize it, unless we are required by law to retain it for a longer period.

11. Children’s Privacy

Marcon Marketplace is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18 in violation of this policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable. If you believe this has occurred, please contact us using the information below.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide additional notice where required by law, which may include email notification or a prominent notice on the Website.

Continued use of the Website after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
