Lift AI Product Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

MarketLinc is committed to protecting your privacy. We publish our Privacy Policy so that you can understand our privacy practices and how they help protect your privacy with respect to the Lift AI product. MarketLinc handles Personal Data both as a Processor and as a Controller, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). MarketLinc is a trans-national business headquartered in the United States. Our management structure and business processes cross borders. Some of our technological systems and databases are shared between our U.S. and Canadian offices. This means that our customer and employee data is transferred across borders. MarketLinc and each of its Canadian and U.S. entities, that from time to time handle personal information collected from individuals located within European Economic Area (EEA) member countries, the UK, and Switzerland comply with both the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, onward transfer and retention of personal information from EEA member countries, the UK, and Switzerland. MarketLinc has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it, and its U.S entities: MarketLinc (USA) Inc. and MarketLinc USA, adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.

4. Use of Cookies

Some parts of MarketLinc’s website may use cookies, which are files or identifying “markers” on a user’s computer for identification and personalization purposes. We may use cookies in order to determine the usefulness of our site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information and for other purposes. Some of the Lift AI product automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies. These technologies may facilitate analytics and help operate the product. We do not allow third parties, such as ad exchanges, web analytics vendors, and social networking platforms to use these technologies to collect data and information about our customers’ and other users’ interaction with the product. Visitors are not required to accept cookies. However, if they reject cookies, certain functionality of the Lift AI product may not work properly (if at all).

5. Do-Not-Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in certain web browsers. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

Unless authorized by you, we will not share any information that you provide us with third parties except to allow such parties to assist or facilitate in the services we provide to you, enforce an agreement, or protect our rights. We may also share information with a parent, affiliated, or successor entity. We may also provide information relating to your use of the website on an aggregate basis to third parties to provide services, such as site analytics. We will not transfer Personal Information originating in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to third parties unless such third parties have entered into an agreement in writing with us requiring them to provide at least the same level of privacy protection to your Personal Information as required by the Principles of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework or the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework.
