The Information We Collect.

When you use or access the Sites, use Martin’s products or services that are available or enabled through the Sites or Martin’s stores, or enroll or participate in our promotional programs, including, but not limited to our Advantage Card Program and Text Club, we may collect or receive Personal Information from or about you.

More particularly, when you use or access the Sites, we may collect or receive information, including, but not limited to Personal Information, from or about you, such as your domain name; internet protocol address; operating system; browser type; advertising identifier; the address of any websites from which you linked to the Sites; the address of any webpages you may visit on the Sites; and information about the products, services, or content that you view on the Sites. This information may be collected through cookies, web beacons, or other similar means, and we use this information to improve the functionality of the Sites, simplify your use of the Sites, detect and prevent misuse or abuse of the Sites, and enhance your experience while using or visiting the Sites.

We also collect Personal Information when you (a) communicate with, or submit information to, us through email, postings, surveys, sweepstakes entries, or other means; and (b) when you enroll or participate in our promotional programs, including, without limitation, our Advantage Card Program and Text Club. And, when you shop in our stores, we collect Personal Information—including, without limitation, through our Advantage Card Program—relating to your in-store transactions and purchases, which we may use to process transactions and to provide targeted marketing, advertising, and promotional programs that may be of interest to you.  In addition, we use cameras in and around our stores for security and operational purposes, and those cameras may collect and record information relating to our customers and visitors.

Also, when you order goods or services through the Sites or any Martin’s stores, we may collect Personal Information, including, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone numbers, shipping or delivery addresses, and credit card or other payment information (including credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes), as necessary to process the orders, purchases, transactions, shipments, and deliveries.

In addition to Personal Information, we also collect or receive “aggregate information,” which is information about a group or category of persons or services, such as demographic or statistical information, or “de-identified information,” from which Personal Information has been removed. Since aggregate information does not contain any personally identifiable information, it is not considered “Personal Information” for purposes of this Policy.

How We May Use The Information We Collect.

We may use the information we collect, and share with third party marketing partners, including your Personal Information, to (a) communicate with you regarding your orders, transactions, accounts, comments, questions, or concerns; (b) offer, advertise, or provide products and services that may be of interest to you; (c) create merchandising and promotional programs; (d) analyze trends; (e) administer and improve the Sites; (f) track user’s navigation and activities on the Sites; and (g) gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We also use this information, along with a record of your purchases, to offer savings and other promotions that are relevant to your purchase preferences.  In addition, we may use this information to give you personally tailored coupons, offers, or other information that may be provided to us from other companies.  These offers may be delivered to you in-store, at home, or online.

We may also share certain Personal Information with thid party marketing partners and their agents for the limited purpose of providing services or information to our customers and us. In addition, we may share this information with third party marketing partners  in order to operate the Sites or conduct Martin’s business, as well as to (a) respond to customer requests, questions, comments, concerns, or claims; (b) process and fulfill transactions, orders, payments, shipments, and deliveries; and (c) provide customers with advertising, marketing, or promotional information and materials.

Martin’s may also disclose your Personal Information when required by law or legal process (including pursuant to court orders, subpoenas, interrogatories, requests for production, or similar directives carrying the force of the law). In addition, we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate (a) to comply with applicable law; (b) to protect the rights, property or safety of, or to prevent harm or loss to, Martin’s, other Site users, our business partners, our customers, or any other persons or businesses; or (c) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful, fraudulent, or improper activity.  Also, Martin’s operates cameras in and around its stores, and Personal Information collected from such security cameras may be provided to law enforcement authorities to assist in their investigations of crimes, missing person reports, or other law enforcement matters.

We may also provide aggregate information or other data about general groups of shoppers, shopping trends, or sales data to other companies to help them understand the demographics of our customers.

To tailor ads to you based on your interests and shopping or browsing history (often called interest-based advertising), we and the companies we have contracted with may use information about your visits to our and other websites,  applications and stores. By using the Sites or your Martin’s Advantage Card, you consent to such practices.  You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of such advertising from certain companies at www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for websites) or  www.aboutads.info/appchoices (for mobile applications).

Consent and Agreement to Policy.

By using the Sites, enrolling or participating in any of Martin’s promotional programs, or otherwise providing any Personal Information to Martin’s, you are agreeing to the terms, policies, and practices set forth in this Policy and to the collection and use of your Personal Information as described in this Policy.

If you do not agree with this Policy or the collection and use of your Personal Information as described in this Policy, you may choose not to (a) use the Sites, (b) enroll or participate in Martin’s promotional programs; or (c) submit Personal Information to us.

Also, if you have any objections to this Policy or to the collection and use of your Personal Information as described in this Policy, you should immediately discontinue (a) using the Sites, (b) participating in Martin’s promotional programs, and (c) submitting Personal Information to us.

Our Commitment to Data Security.

To safeguard Personal Information that we collect, we have instituted strict physical, electronic, and managerial policies and procedures to prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of all data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure.  Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.  Accordingly, if you provide any Personal Information to us, you are doing so at your own risk and not as a bailment.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under thirteen (13) years of age and believe the child has disclosed personal information to Martin’s, you may review and request deletion of the child’s personal information and also refuse to permit its further collection or use. Also, in such event, we request that you immediately contact us—at the address, telephone number, or e-mail address set out below—so that we may promptly take action to delete the child’s personal information.
