Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 5 May 2020

1. Introduction

Marque Contact is a digital business card and digital‑profile platform operated by Marque Technologies (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our services include NFC‑enabled digital business cards, online profile pages, and related features hosted at marquecontact.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services. By using Marque Contact, you agree to the terms of this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  1. Profile information: Name, job title, company, phone number, email address, website URL, and other contact or social‑link details you add to your Marque Contact card.
  2. Usage data: Pages visited, features used, time spent, device type, browser type, IP address, and cookie data.
  3. Technical information: Device identifiers, operating system, and network information
  4. Payment information: If you purchase cards or subscriptions, payment details are handled by a third‑party payment processor (we do not store full credit‑card numbers).

We may also collect information when you contact us via email, forms, or chat.

 

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information to:

  1. Provide, operate, and maintain your Marque Contact card and profile.
  2. Process orders, subscriptions, and refunds.
  3. Personalize and improve our services.
  4. Communicate with you (support, updates, newsletters if you opt in).
  5. Analyze usage and troubleshoot issues.
  6. Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions.

We do not sell your personal data for marketing purposes.

 

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information:

  1. With service providers (hosting, payment processing, analytics, email) acting on our behalf under confidentiality agreements.
  2. When you share your Marque Contact card via NFC, QR code, or link; the recipient sees whatever profile information you choose to display.
  3. If required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights.
  4. In connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger, sale, or acquisition).
  5. Payment card details are shared only as necessary to complete transactions.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  1. Remember your preferences and login status.
  2. Analyze traffic and improve performance.
  3. Personalize your experience.

You can manage cookies in your browser, but disabling them may affect some features.

 

6. International Data Transfers

Because our services are available globally, some data may be stored or processed in countries outside Nigeria. When this happens, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, including contractual safeguards where appropriate.

If you are in a jurisdiction with specific data‑protection laws (e.g., the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)), you may have additional rights, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to opt out of certain processing. We will comply with those rights where they apply to your use of our services.

 

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption, secure hosting, access controls) to protect your personal information. However, no internet‑based transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure.

 

8. Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, and enforce agreements. If you delete your account, we will remove your data in line with these principles, unless the law requires longer retention.

 

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

  1. Access or receive a copy of your data.
  2. Correct inaccurate information.
  3. Request deletion of your data.
  4. Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  5. Object to or restrict certain processing.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@marquetechnologies.com. You can also update or delete much of your data directly in your account settings.

 

10. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover we have done so, we will take steps to delete it.

 

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” will change, and the new version will be posted on our website. Please review it periodically.
