PRIVACY NOTICE
Last Updated: July 22, 2020
This Privacy Notice applies to the U.S. website, mobile application or other digital service (each a “Digital Service”) linking to this Privacy Notice and owned or operated by The MB Market, Inc. aka MBM (“we”, “us”, “our” or “MBM”). This Privacy Notice describes the privacy practices of MBM only and does not cover the practices of other users with whom you may engage through the Digital Services or other companies, including those that may advertise or sponsor content, products or services on the Digital Services.
When you use a Digital Service, we may obtain various types of information related to you and your use of the Digital Service. This may include information that directly identifies you such as your name, address, or contact information (this type of information may be called “personal information” or “personally identifiable information”). The information we obtain generally consists of information (1) you give us about yourself, (2) you give us about others, (3) automatically collected about your interactions with the Digital Services and our content or ads on third-party websites, apps or other media, and (4) we get from other sources.
We may ask you to provide information about yourself when you use the Digital Services. For example, to subscribe to one of our newsletters, you will need to give us an email address. You may not be able to use certain features if you choose not to submit the requested information.
The information you give us may include details such as:
You may give us information about other people, such as the name and email of a friend or contact with whom you want to share our content. Do not give us information about others unless you are authorized or have their consent to do so. We will use their information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
The Digital Services automatically log certain information about visits to the Digital Services, such as the number and frequency of visitors, technical information about browsers and devices used to access the Digital Services, and information about crashes or other technical issues. In addition, we and third parties may automatically collect certain information through automated means about your activities over time across the Digital Services as well as across third-party sites, apps or other media. The tools that collect this information vary depending on the Digital Services and include technologies such as cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, pixels, local shared objects (including HTML5 cookies) and software development kits (“SDKs”). These technologies may be included in our web pages, mobile apps, emails, and other digital content. The tools may assign or collect unique cookie IDs or other identifiers associated with your browser or device. The tools may collect information while you are using our Digital Services or while they are running in the background of your device.
The information automatically collected may include:
For more information about the use of automated means in the context of interest-based advertising and how you can limit tracking, see section C. 3 For advertising and marketing purposes, including interest-based advertising.
We receive information about you from other sources and it may be combined with other information about you. For example, we may obtain data from:
If you make a transaction using a Digital Service, we use your payment card information (e.g., your card number and expiration date) for limited purposes such as to process your transaction (including recurring payments, if applicable), to provide you with the requested products or services and for the purposes described under the section “To protect our rights or the rights of others” below.
Please note that if you successfully win a bid or complete a transaction with another user or third party that may be integrated with the Digital Services, we will provide the other user or third party, as appropriate, with your personal information to facilitate the transaction you requested (including, your name and contact information). Other users (including sellers) and third parties are independent from us and are responsible for the handling and use of your personal information, including personal information that we may provide to them. Sellers and third parties are responsible for compliance with applicable laws, including privacy laws, and rights that you may have with respect to your personal information that such users, sellers and third parties maintain. You should direct any questions or concerns with respect to your information directly to such users, sellers and third parties.
With respect to information other than your payment card information, we use that information:
We may share the information we obtain with:
Direct Marketing Opt-Outs
Interest-Based Ads Opt-Outs
Some of the ads you see on the Digital Services interest-based ads described in section C. 3 For advertising and marketing purposes, including interest-based advertising. This means that these ads are customized based on the information we and others obtain about you. We describe below steps you can take to limit tracking of your activities and the delivery of interest-based ads in browsers and mobile apps you use to access the Digital Services. Please keep in mind that if you opt out of interest-based ads, you will still see ads, but these ads will not be based on your inferred interests. In addition, if you take the steps described below, some automated means may still be used to collect information about your interactions with the Digital Services for the other purposes described in this Privacy Notice (e.g., to remember user preferences or enable specific functionality).
The technologies used to deliver ads on websites and mobile apps differ. Please also remember that opt-outs are browser and device-specific.
Website (Browser) Opt-Out
Mobile App Opt-Out
Please keep in mind that as the mobile environment continues to evolve, additional opt-out mechanisms or privacy settings may become available to you. We encourage you to review the information on opt-outs and settings that device manufacturers, technology companies and industry associations make available to you.
Do Not Track
MBM does not currently take steps to respond to browsers “Do Not Track” signals as no uniform standard to respond to such signals has been developed at this time.
Additional Choices
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we make reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We operate the Digital Services from the United States. Any information we obtain about you in connection with your use of the Digital Services may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries.
The Digital Services are not intended for use by children, especially those under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

In addition, the Digital Services may be made available to you through third-party platforms (such as app stores or Social Media Platforms) or other channels. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any non-MBM operated websites, mobile apps or other services and channels, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies or notices published by relevant third parties.
This Privacy Notice does not apply to web pages hosting our careers or job opportunities. Any information obtained through such pages is governed by the privacy notice published thereon.
Any dispute concerning the Digital Services (including our use of your personal information) will be resolved per the dispute resolution provision in the Terms which govern your use of the Digital Services. Please take a few minutes to read the Terms of Use before using the Digital Services.
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices or applicable laws. In accordance with applicable law, we may make such changes without prior notice. We will publish the updated version on the relevant Digital Services and indicate at the top of the Privacy Notice when it was most recently updated.
