This Notice applies to Personal Data collected or processed by us:
The Mark Foundation may provide you with a different privacy notice in certain specific situations, in which case that privacy notice or policy will apply to the Personal Data collected or processed in that specific situation, rather than this one.
If you provide us with Personal Data related to anyone other than yourself, please note that you are responsible for complying with all privacy and data protection laws prior to providing that information to The Mark Foundation (including collecting consent, if required).
Please review this Notice carefully. To the extent permitted by law, by providing us your Personal Data or otherwise interacting with us, you are agreeing to this Notice and consent to the personal data processing described in this Notice. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, it is your choice not to use our Services or otherwise engage with us.

Service providers or vendors (or processors) acting on our behalf must execute agreements requiring them to maintain confidentiality and to process Personal Data only to provide the services to us and in a way that aligns with this Notice, other applicable privacy notices, and as explicitly permitted or required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

For the specific affiliates or third parties who may jointly use your data, please contact us.
Our Online Services may contain links to other websites, applications, or services that are not owned or operated by The Mark Foundation. Such links do not imply an endorsement with respect to any third party, any website, or the products or services provided thereby. You should carefully review the privacy policies and practices of other websites and services as we cannot control and are not responsible for privacy policies, notices, or practices of third party websites, applications, and services.
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights with respect to some or all of your Personal Data:
In the event you wish to make a right request, file a complaint about how we process your Personal Data, or appeal the denial of one of your requests, please contact us. Even if you make a complaint to us, you may also in some jurisdictions lodge a complaint with the relevant privacy or data protection authority in your location. Upon rejection of an individual rights request you may also have the right to file a lawsuit in court in accordance with the law.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described above, although we may not be able to continue to provide you with certain Services or it may otherwise affect the way we are able to interact with you.
We will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly to your requests. For your protection, and to protect the privacy of others, we may need to verify your identity before completing what you have asked us to do. We will take steps to verify your identity before completing your rights request. We may ask you to provide additional information, such as your name, home address, and email address. We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Data relates to you. We will only use Personal Data collected in connection with a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Your authorized agent must indicate that they are submitting the request as an agent. We may require the agent to provide proof that you gave permission to submit the request and may also require to you to confirm with us that you provided the agent permission to submit the request or to verify your own identity directly with us.
To appeal our decision on a request you have submitted, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below with “Appeal” in the subject line or otherwise indicating that you wish to appeal. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general or relevant data protection authority.
Please be aware that we may be unable to afford these rights to you under certain circumstances, such as if we are legally prevented from doing so.
Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, The Mark Foundation has put in place physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure consistent with legal obligations and industry practices. However, as is the case with all websites, applications, products, and services, we unfortunately are not able to guarantee security for data collected through our Online Services. In addition, it is your responsibility to safeguard any passwords, identification or ID numbers, or similar individual information associated with your use of the Online Services.
We generally retain the categories of Personal Data discussed herein for as long as needed for the specific purpose or purposes for which it was collected or obtained, and as outlined in this Notice. In some cases, we may be required to retain Personal Data for a longer period of time as required by law or for other necessary or required purposes. Whenever possible, we aim to de-identify or anonymize your Personal Data or otherwise remove some or all information that may identify you from records that we may need to keep for periods beyond the specified retention period. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject that affects the length of time we need to keep your Personal Data; and (iii) whether retention is determined to be necessary for The Mark Foundation due to limitation periods, litigation, or other legal or regulatory obligations. The Mark Foundation takes reasonable steps to securely dispose of Personal Data upon the expiration of retention periods, taking into consideration these litigation, legal, or regulatory obligations.
We operate in various countries throughout the world, including, but not limited to, the United States and Canada. Please be aware that Personal Data we collect and process may be transferred and maintained outside your state, province, country, or other jurisdiction, country, or location where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your location, including the United States. The Mark Foundation has put in place lawful transfer mechanisms and appropriate safeguards, in accordance with its legal requirements, to protect your Personal Data. This includes, where relevant, entering into standard contractual clauses or relying on other approved transfer mechanisms. You may obtain further information regarding these safeguards, including a copy where applicable, by contacting us as specified at the end of this Notice.
We reserve the right to change this Notice from time to time. We will alert you when changes have been made by indicating the date this Notice was last updated as the date the Notice became effective or as otherwise may be required by law.
