Eco Shares Program Policy
Who we are
Our website address is https://www.marlinyard.org/ecoshares
and will be in the near future: https://ecoshares.marlinyard.org
ECO SHARES is a service of Marlin Yard Foundation. ECO SHARES as well as any affiliated or related company (collectively, “ECO SHARES”, “we”, “us” or “our”), recognizes the importance of your privacy. This privacy policy tells you what personal information we collect and how we use it. ECO SHARES may change this privacy policy from time to time, in its sole discretion, and any such changes will become effective when we post the revised privacy policy online.
By using any ECO SHARES service, website, application, product, software, data, content, and/or service (collectively, the “Services”), you are declaring that you understand and agree to the terms of this policy.
What Information Do We Collect?
a. Personally Identifiable Information:
We may collect personally identifiable information when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us, for example when you access the Services and provide your name, address, email address and similar personal information; when you register and provide your bank and other financial information; when you create User Content (as defined in the ECO SHARES Terms of Service); or when you contact us with your name, address, or email address. ECO SHARES does not consider personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual. We collect and use personally identifiable information to operate and improve our Services, to allow you to provide third parties or other Users access to your User Content, to provide customer service, to communicate with you when requested, and to perform research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies.
You may always choose not to provide personal information, but if you choose so, the Services will not be available to you. Note that personally identifiable information we collect and your User Content may be stored and processed in the Netherlands or any other country in which we or our affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors or agents maintain facilities; by using the Services, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
b. Non-Personally-Identifiable Information: We may collect and aggregate non-personally identifiable information, such hardware types, geographic location, and access times and durations.
c. Website Use and Technologies: When you use the Services, ECO SHARES, or third parties on our behalf, may collect non-personally identifiable information via the use of pixels, programs, cookies and other similar technologies.
Cookies, for example, are pieces of information that are transferred to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. They are used to assist you in using site information and content by saving your user preferences which allows us to identify registered users and save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information. They are also used to collect aggregate information about users on an anonymous basis. In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies, including single-pixel gifs (also known as web beacons) on our websites and in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters. These electronic images assist us in determining how many users have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters. We do not use these single-pixel gifs to collect personal information. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies or to request your permission each time a service attempts to set a cookie. Please be aware that the site is optimally designed to operate with cookies enabled in your internet browser. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of the Services that depend on cookies.

What Do We Do With The Information That We Collect?
Except as disclosed in this privacy policy, ECO SHARES does not share your personal information with any outside parties.
a. ECO SHARES will use the personally identifiable information directly submitted by you and your User Content solely for the purpose for which you have provided it, such as processing transactions (including related communications); providing notices, updates, security alerts, and support; providing a third-party access to your User Content as provided for on the Services or as needed to complete any Services. We may share this as your agent and attorney-in-fact with the third-parties which you have selected to perform services on your behalf such as financial institutions, payment processors, other Users, or service providers who perform services on our behalf such as providing data storage, data transmission, etc. Service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the Services, will be required to maintain the confidentiality of the information, and will be prohibited from using it for any other purpose. Also, if we go through a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, data we gather from you may be part of the assets transferred or shared in connection with due diligence for any such transaction. Any acquirer or successor company may continue to use the data we collect from you as described in this notice.
b. ECO SHARES, third-parties you authorize, or our third-party partners will use non-personally-identifiable information to track and analyse usage and volume statistical information from our users to administer content and to provide the Services. We may also perform statistical analysis of user behaviour in order to measure interest in our online products and services for product development purposes.
c. Disclosure: As a general rule, ECO SHARES will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information or your User Content except under one of the following circumstances: we have your permission; we determine in good faith that it is legally required to be revealed by any relevant statute, regulation, ordinance, rule, administrative or court order, decree, or subpoena; information revealed during the course of ECO SHARES smart’s enforcement of the policies and procedures of the Services; information that we determine must be disclosed to correct what we believe to be false or misleading information or to address activities that we believe to be manipulative, deceptive or otherwise a violation of law; where you are otherwise notified at the time we collect the data; where we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; when such disclosure is made subject to confidentiality restrictions in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether of assets, stock, or otherwise) of all or a portion of the business conducted by ECO SHARES smart. ECO SHARES may share the non-personally identifiable information that ROSCA gathers, in aggregate form only, with advertisers and other partners.
Who we share your data with
No one other than yourself. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Age Policy
The ECO SHARES Service Terms and Conditions clearly provide that Users must be at least 21 years old to use the Services. ECO SHARES does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Users under 21. In the event that we learn that we have collected any personal information from a User under the age of 21, we will attempt to identify and delete that information from our database.
Social Network Applications
The Services allow you to elect to access the data on your profile in social networks, and to interact through features on the social networks. This access is not activated automatically but require express authorization by you. The Services allow you to authorize us to obtain information about you that is available on the social network (for instance name and surname), as well as to interact with our account. For further information on the use of Personal Information by social networks, you should review their respective privacy policies.
International Usage
The Services are owned by ECO SHARES and may be accessed in the Netherlands and abroad. For data protection purposes, ECO SHARES is the controller. ECO SHARES or third-parties you authorize may be the processor of Your User Content. Your data may be sent to the Netherlands and possibly other countries. We store data about and from Users on cloud servers, and we may also store this data on servers and equipment in other countries. Information collected may be retained, and may be stored, processed, accessed, and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction. If you are located outside of Jordan, please note that the information you provide to us may be transferred to Jordan or our cloud servers. By using the Services, you consent to such transfer.
How Does A User Change Or Update Information?
If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or would like the personally identifiable information that you have provided to be removed from our files, please contact ECO SHARES via email at ecoshares@marlinyard.org.
Security and Encryption
We follow generally accepted industry ECO SHARES to help protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the internet, mobile technology, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, while we endeavour to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the information that we collect online, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Our Service has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We use ECO SHARES Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption that encodes information for such transmissions. All Services information is maintained on secure servers. Access to stored data is protected by multi-layered security controls including firewalls, role-based access controls and passwords.
All bank/wallet account information is securely processed directly with our partners. None of our company’s internal servers can view or obtain plaintext card numbers.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to change the terms of this privacy policy at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of the policy. If there are material changes to this statement or in how we will use your personal information, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice of such changes here or on our home page, or by sending you an email. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you visit one of our sites.
