Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how MartSticker collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information in connection with the informational website focused on general stocks-related content. The website provides neutral and descriptive materials without offering financial services, recommendations, or transactional features. This Policy applies to all visitors who browse pages, review content, or communicate through the Contact form or email.

The website follows the principles of transparency, data minimization, purpose limitation, and user rights protection in accordance with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including the CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, and UCPA. The website does not sell or share personal information and does not use targeted advertising as defined under these laws. Visitors are encouraged to read this Policy carefully to understand how their data is handled. The Policy should be interpreted together with the Cookie Policy and Terms & Conditions.

2. Categories of Personal Information Collected

MartSticker may process limited categories of personal information necessary to operate the website and respond to inquiries. These categories include:

a. Contact Information:
Name, email address, and the content of messages submitted through the Contact form or email. This information is voluntarily provided by users only for communication purposes.

b. Technical Information:
IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, access timestamps, and pages viewed. These data points may be automatically generated by the hosting infrastructure for security, operational integrity, and aggregated analytics.

c. Cookie-Related Information:
Information derived from cookies and similar technologies as described in the Cookie Policy. These cookies may store user preferences or help the website understand aggregated usage patterns.

The website does not request or collect sensitive categories of data, such as financial account information, payment details, identification numbers, or precise geolocation. Personal information about minors under 16 is processed only with verifiable parental or guardian consent.

3. Sources of Personal Information

MartSticker receives personal information from three primary sources:

Direct submissions through the Contact form or email communications.

Automatic collection by hosting and security systems when a visitor accesses the website.

Cookie-based data, where applicable and according to user preferences recorded in the cookie banner.

No external commercial databases are used, and the website does not purchase, exchange, or import data from third parties.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

MartSticker processes personal information only for clearly defined purposes:

Responding to inquiries submitted through the Contact form or email.

Operating, maintaining, and securing the website.

Performing aggregated and non-identifying analytics to understand general usage patterns.

Managing cookie preferences and complying with legal obligations.

The primary legal bases for processing are:

Consent, obtained when users submit a message through the Contact form or accept non-essential cookies.

Legitimate interests, such as ensuring security, preventing misuse, and analyzing aggregated traffic data without identifying individuals.

The website does not create user profiles, does not evaluate behavior for personalization, and does not use data to perform targeted advertising.

5. How Personal Information Is Used

Personal information is used in a limited manner consistent with the purposes described above:

Contact information is used solely to respond to inquiries and maintain communication records.

Technical information is used to ensure website security, troubleshoot issues, and maintain operational performance.

Aggregated analytics may help improve layout, navigation, or technical stability, without identifying individual visitors.

Personal information is never used for promotional mailing lists, automated decision-making, or cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Data Retention Practices

MartSticker retains personal information only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

Contact communications may be retained for a reasonable period to document correspondence.

Technical logs are retained temporarily for security and operational integrity.

Cookie-related data is retained according to the retention periods described in the Cookie Policy.

Once retention periods expire, the data is securely deleted or de-identified so that it can no longer be linked to an individual.

7. Data Security Measures

MartSticker implements reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. These measures may include secure server environments, encrypted connections, access controls, and monitoring of system performance.

While no method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee complete security, the website operates with a level of protection appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the data processed. Visitors are encouraged not to include sensitive or unnecessary information in their messages.

8. Sharing of Personal Information

MartSticker may share personal information only with third-party service providers that support the website's technical operations, such as hosting providers, email delivery tools, or analytics platforms configured to use aggregated data. These service providers process information exclusively on behalf of MartSticker and may not use it for their own purposes.

MartSticker does not sell personal information, does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and does not use targeted advertising technologies. Personal information is not transferred to commercial partners or advertisers.

9. International Data Transfers

Because technical infrastructure may involve servers or service providers located in different regions, personal information may be processed outside the visitor's state or country. When data is transferred internationally, MartSticker applies safeguards consistent with this Policy and applicable privacy laws to maintain security and integrity.

International transfers are limited to technical operations and are not used for marketing, profiling, or targeted advertising activities.

10. User Rights Under U.S. Privacy Laws

Depending on the state of residence, users may have the right to:

Request access to the personal information collected about them.

Request correction of inaccurate personal information.

Request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful exceptions.

Request a copy of personal information in a portable format, where applicable.

Withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

Limit the processing of certain categories of data, where permitted by state law.

Requests can be submitted using the contact details provided at the top of this Policy. Identity verification steps may be required to ensure security. MartSticker does not discriminate against users who choose to exercise their rights.

11. Children's Privacy

MartSticker is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. Personal information about minors is collected only with verifiable parental or guardian consent. If MartSticker becomes aware that personal information of a minor has been collected without the necessary consent, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or website practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the most recent revision occurred. Visitors are encouraged to review the Policy regularly to stay informed about data practices.
