What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how Marching Links treats personal information that Marching Links collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Marching Links products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Marching Links does not own or control, or to people that Marching Links does not employ or manage.
Information Collection and Use
General Marching Links collects personal information when you register with Marching Links, when you use Marching Links products or services, when you visit Marching Links pages or the pages of certain Marching Links partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. Marching Links may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. Once you register with Marching Links and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
Marching Links collects information about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners, including information about your use of financial products and services that we offer.

Children
When a child under age 13 attempts to register with Marching Links, we ask that he/she obtain parental permission. Marching Links does not ask a child under age 13 for more personal information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate in a given activity or promotion.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Marching Links does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you’ve requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Marching Links under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Marching Links communicate with you about offers from Marching Links and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
We have a parent’s permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing Marching Links to collect and use their child’s information without consenting to Marching Links sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes;
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Marching Links’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if Marching Links is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Marching Links will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Marching Links displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.

However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
Marching Links advertisers include companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
