Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Marlin Merchant ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have, including information related to our use of advertising and marketing platforms such as LinkedIn.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to marlinmerchant.com and any related services, forms, and communications (collectively, the "Services"). By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, company name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and details submitted through our contact, referral, or statement upload forms. We also automatically collect technical information, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs, through cookies and similar technologies.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to operate our site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may limit some site functionality.
4. LinkedIn Advertising and the LinkedIn Insight Tag
We may use the LinkedIn Insight Tag and LinkedIn advertising services to measure the performance of our campaigns and to understand the interactions visitors have with our website after viewing an ad on LinkedIn. The LinkedIn Insight Tag may collect information such as IP address, timestamp, page URL, browser and device characteristics, and may set or read cookies on your device. LinkedIn processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy and provides opt-out and data control mechanisms, including through LinkedIn's advertising preferences and its Insight Tag opt-out. LinkedIn acts as an independent controller for data it collects through the Insight Tag. Learn more or opt out through LinkedIn's own privacy settings at linkedin.com.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide and improve our Services, respond to inquiries and referral submissions, process statement reviews, communicate with you about our products, measure and optimize our advertising (including on LinkedIn), and comply with legal obligations.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate our Services (such as email delivery and hosting providers), with advertising platforms like LinkedIn to measure and deliver ads, and when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.
7. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or embed third-party services, including LinkedIn. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with information.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
9. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to opt out of certain advertising, including LinkedIn-based advertising through LinkedIn's own account settings. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
10. Children's Privacy
Our Services are intended for business use and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
