MARKA values its customers and respects their privacy.
We collect information on our website in order to improve
our products, our relationship with our customers, and
the functionality of the site. We recognize that we must
use customer information responsibly. MARKA does not
sell or rent customer information to third parties.
The following statement is made to provide our customers
with as much information regarding our privacy policies
as possible. If you have additional questions regarding
our policies, please contact us at info@markaonline.com,
or call (866)779-3115.
If our privacy policies change in the future, MARKA
will post the changes on its website. We will notify
you, either through the website or by contacting you
directly, of any changes to the way in which your information
will be used. At that time, you will have the opportunity
to ‘opt out’ of any new use of your information.
Registration and Orders
You are not required to register an account on the MARKA
Website. If you would like to register an account it
will make purchasing online easier and keep you updated
on new product launches, promotions and events. In order
to make a purchase on MARKA’s website, you must
either, first complete the registration form and create
a user name and password or proceed directly to checkout.
During registration you are required to give contact
information (such as name, shipping address and email
address) and if you wish, financial information (such
as credit card number and expiration date).
“My Account”
Your login in ID, password and information will be collected
when registering on the MARKA website. This information
can be updated or deleted at any time by clicking here or “My
Account” from the home page.
Uses of Information
MARKA uses the information collected on its website
to improve your shopping experience, to email you with
an order confirmation, to contact you if there is trouble
processing the order, and to make future online transactions
faster. At Registration, if you “opt in”,
MARKA will be able to email or post mail you with updates
on new collections and products, new retailers, and special
events.
Ownership of Information
MARKA is the sole owner of the information collected
on www.markaonline.com. MARKA collects personally identifiable
information from our users at several different points
on our website.
Tell-A-Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a
friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s
name and email address. We will automatically send your
friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit
the site. MARKA stores this information for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the
success of our referral program. Your friend may contact
us at info@markaonline.com to
request that we remove this information from our database.
Personally Identifiable Information
We do not share personally identifiable information
with Third Parties.
Agents
We use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders
and a credit card processing company to bill you for
goods and services. These companies do not retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for
any other purposes.
Service Providers
We use other third parties on our site to provide Web
design, publicity, and customer list management. You
may contact these service providers through our Website.
MARKA will only share information as is necessary for
the third party to provide their service. These third
parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable
information for any other purpose.
Choice/Opt-out
When we ask for personally identifiable information,
we provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of
having your information used for certain purposes. For
example, if you purchase a product but do not wish to
receive any additional marketing material from us, you
can indicate your preference when you register on our
website. You can change your preference by clicking on “My
Account” from the MARKA home page. You will be
notified when your personal information is collected
by any third party that is not our agent/service provider,
so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not
to share your information with that party.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that websites
often store on your computer's hard drive when you visit
their sites. A cookie may contain information (such as
a unique user ID), which is used to track the pages of
the sites you've visited. We use cookies but do not store
personally identifiable information in your cookie. We
use cookies in order to improve your shopping experience.
When you visit the MARKA website, your cookie helps us
keep track of your order as you shop on the site. If
you have saved your information with us, your cookie
allows us to recognize you when you return to our site
and provides you with access to your account information.
If you save your information with us or place an order,
we also use cookies to monitor and maintain information
about your use of our site. If you have not saved your
information with or ordered from us, we may monitor and
maintain information about your use of our Website in
a manner that does not identify you. In either case,
this information helps us serve you better by improving
our site design, as well as our products. You can refuse
cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn
off cookies, though, we will not be able to track your
order or enable you to make a purchase from our site.
Nor will we be able to recognize you as a signed up user
to allow you access to your account information.
Security
The security of your personal information
is important to us. When you enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and expiration date) on order
forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket
layer technology (SSL). SSL is a highly sophisticated
method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer
to our web servers. We follow generally accepted industry
standards to protect the personal information submitted
to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method
of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore,
while we strive to use commercially acceptable means
to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee
its absolute security. If you have any questions about
security on our Website, you can send an email to us
at info@markaonline.com.
Changes in this Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes to this privacy statement,
the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so
that you are aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose
it. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement
at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make
material changes to this policy, we will notify you here,
by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
