Privacy Policy

(dated May 29, 2021; updated March 27 2022)

P1. Information Collected

We do not collect any information about Users of MarinoEquityPartners.com other than information Users may choose to submit using forms provided on the site. The information Users submit via the forms on MarinoEquityPartners.com is generally anticipated to be limited to basic contact details submitted by Users interested in being contacted further by means of other communication channels.

P2. Optionality of Users' Use of Site and Submission Forms

Users use of the forms on MarinoEquityPartners.com is entirely voluntary. Additionally, telephone, email, and postal mail contact options are available to any User who do not wish to utilize the forms provided on the Site.

MarinoEquityPartners.com is an informational website, not a business. No party is obligated to use MarinoEquityPartners.com for any purpose, nor does any party need to use MarinoEquityPartners.com to conduct any business they may have with Marino Equity Partners.

P2. Information Submitted By Users

Users are requested to limit the information they submit to us to such minimum of information as is necessary to communicate User's message and facilitate our return communication to User. As stipulated in the MarinoEquityPartners.com Terms of Use, Users agree not submit any sensitive, proprietary, compromising, or illegal information, content, or materials.

P3. Minimization of Automated/Structural Data Collection

Marino Equity Partners does not employ website analytics, social media links, or social media tracking pixels on MarinoEquityPartners.com. We believe avoidance of these technologies offers Site Users a significantly greater level of privacy than typical users of modern websites generally have reason to expect and effectively limits the data Users share with Marino Equity Partners to such information as Users voluntarily submit through deliberate action; however, the commercial technology providers we use to build and host the Site, as well as those we use for email, telephony, digital collaboration, record keeping, and data management likely employ tracking technologies within their own systems the exact nature and scope of which is not known to us. It is possible, though not anticipated, that future changes in the services our technology providers provide us may make available to us information they have previously collected about Users or that subsequent to such changes a greater range of information about Users will be available to us than we explicitly desire to collect.

P4. Technology Providers' Access

The various technology providers we use in connection with the Site are presumed to have varying degrees of access to data transmitted and/or accessible by and/or through the Site pursuant to their systems and governed by their respective privacy policies. Given most, if not all, providers also use third party services in the conduct of their business it is not feasible to identify all the providers, custodians, privacy policies, terms of use, data processing agreements, and jurisdictions to which your use of the Site may expose greater than 0 bytes of data about Users.

P6. Our Use and Retention of Information Collected

We will use the information collected for the purpose of communicating with Users. We will not sell or rent User contact information to third parties. We may send marketing communications by mail or email to users. If any User requests exclusion from marketing communications, we will endeavor to timely exclude such User from marketing lists used for subsequent communications, though may not be able to remove such User from any mailings which are already in process at the time of such request.

P7. Purpose of Site and Information Collected Thereby

The primary purpose of MarinoEquityPartners.com is to serve as a prefatorial informational brochure for parties with bona fide and legitimate interest("BFLI") in ascertaining their eligibility for, exploring, commencing, or furthering a business and/or investment relationship with Marino Equity Partners, LLC. The information we collect via the Site is intended only to enable reply and communication with parties who submit an expression of BFLI using a form or mechanism provided on the Site

P8. Seniority of Subsequent Business and/or Investment Relationships

Subsequent to our commencement of reply communications and/or negotiations with any User to the ends described in the preceding paragraph, they shall be considered a Commercial Counterparty and/or Prospective Investor/Partner and/or Investor and/or Partner and their status as a User of MarinoEquityPartners.com shall be trivial and subordinate to their relationship with us as a Commercial Counterparty and/or Prospective Investor/Partner and/or Investor and/or Partner. Our communications and negotiations with Commercial Counterparties and/or Prospective Investors/Partners and/or Investors and/or Partners, including information initially received by us through MarinoEquityPartners.com, may become part of permanent business records, which records may be stored by physical or electronic means, or both. No Commercial Counterparty and/or Prospective Investor/Partner and/or Investor and/or Partner shall be entitled to demand the destruction, deletion, or modification of our permanent business records on the basis of this Privacy Policy, nor upon their prior or future capacity as a User of MarinoEquityPartners.com.

P9. Deletion/Removal of Submitted Information

In the event a User, who has not transitioned into the capacity of Commercial Counterparty and/or Prospective Investor/Partner and/or Investor and/or Partner as described above, requests us delete the information same User has submitted to us via MarinoEquityPartners.com, we will use reasonable effort to remove said information from our active records in timely fashion. Copies of said information may continue to exist in our archives and/or backups.

P10. State Privacy Rights

Various States grant Users specific privacy rights which may differ from or exceed the rights granted to Users by other States. We believe the extremely limited scope of information gathering conducted via the Site; coupled with the fact we do not sell or rent information to third parties for any purpose, marketing or otherwise, and otherwise share information with third parties only in the context of their capacity as our technology providers/subprocessors; meets or exceeds the privacy standards of all 50 States. Nevertheless, any User wishing to exercise any specific privacy right granted them by their State of residence may do so by communicating their instructions to us by mail pursuant to the notice provisions of the Terms of Use, unless their State specifically permits them to communicate their privacy instructions without cost, in which case Users may communicate their instructions via email to privacy@marinoequitypartners.com.

Nevada Users: While we do not sell your information, and do not intend ever to do so, you may instruct us not to sell your information in the future by emailing us at privacy@marinoequitypartners.com with your name, postal address, telephone number and email address with “Nevada Do Not Sell” in the subject line.

California Users: California Law entitles California Users to request information concerning whether we have disclosed certain information about Users to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. California Users may request such disclosure by emailing us at privacy@marinoequitypartners.com with "California User Information Sharing Disclosure Request" in the subject line. California Users may explicitly opt out of any future sharing by us of their information by emailing us at privacy@marinoequitypartners.com with "California Third Party Sharing Opt Out" in the subject line.

While we in no way wish to discourage Users from exercising their State privacy rights, we feel compelled by common sense to observe that, given the very limited scope of information we collect via the Site, Users seeking to exercise their State privacy rights will, in some cases, need to include in their communication to us seeking to exercise such rights more information than we otherwise collect or retain from or about Users of the Site.
