5. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, we may share or disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf. This includes payment processors, shipping carriers, email service providers, marketing platforms, website hosting providers, and data analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.  
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Website or the public, or protect against legal liability.  
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Marine EZ's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Marine EZ about our Website users is among the assets transferred.

• Aggregated or De-identified Data: We may share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for various purposes, including analytics or reporting.  

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to collect information about your Browse activities over time and across different websites following your use of our site.  

• What are Cookies: Cookies are small files placed on your device. They help the Website function, remember your preferences, analyze performance, and deliver relevant advertising.
• Our Use: We use essential cookies (for site function, security, checkout), performance/analytics cookies (to understand usage), functional cookies (to remember choices), and advertising cookies (to show relevant ads, sometimes via third parties).
• Your Choices: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can usually set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. You may also be able to opt-out of targeted advertising through industry opt-out programs (e.g., NAI, DAA).  

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology (also known as TLS) to encrypt sensitive information, such as your payment card details, during transmission.  

However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.  

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.   

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:  

• Access: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you.

• Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.  

• Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., completing transactions, legal obligations).  
• Opt-Out of Marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the emails or by contacting us.
• Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing (California Residents): If you are a California resident, you may have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information (as defined under the CCPA/CPRA). Please contact us using the details below to exercise this right if applicable.
• Cookie Choices: You can manage your cookie preferences as described in Section 6.

To exercise any of these rights (subject to verification), please contact us using the contact information provided in Section 1. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or 16, where applicable by state law concerning the sale/sharing of data). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under the relevant age without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under the relevant age, please contact us.  

11. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Website from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S., where our servers are located and our central database is operated. Data protection laws in the U.S. may be different from those in your country. By using the Website, you consent to the transfer of your information to the U.S.
