This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit our website, communicate with us, apply for a role, or engage us for services.

2. Scope & roles

For our website, marketing, hiring, and business operations, Marsbridge is a data controller.

For client projects, we typically act as a data processor (processing personal data under a client’s instructions). Those activities are governed by our contract and any applicable Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

3. Information we collect

A. You provide directly

• Contact details (name, work email, phone, company, job title)
• Messages (inquiries, project requirements)
• Newsletter signups (email address)
• Job applications (CV, cover letter, links, work history, education; any info you choose to share)

B. Collected automatically (website)

• Technical data (IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, timestamps, referring URL)
• Cookies/analytics (including Google Analytics; see our Cookie Policy and banner for choices)

C. From third parties

• Business platforms (e.g., Upwork profile data or public LinkedIn information if you contact us there)
• Clients and partners (contact details for project stakeholders)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data via the website (e.g., health, biometric, precise geolocation) and we ask you not to submit such data.

4. How we use your information (purposes & legal bases)

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide our services
  Legal basis: contract or steps prior to entering a contract; legitimate interests.
• Operate and improve our website and services (analytics, troubleshooting, security, debugging)
  Legal basis: legitimate interests; consent where required for analytics cookies.
• Send updates and marketing (newsletters, research notes, event invites)
  Legal basis: consent (where required) or legitimate interests; you can opt out anytime.
• Recruitment (evaluate and manage applications; communicate with candidates)
  Legal basis: legitimate interests; consent where required by law.
• Compliance, fraud prevention, and enforcement
  Legal basis: legal obligations; legitimate interests.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

• Service providers (“processors”) who support our operations (e.g., hosting, email, productivity tools, applicant tracking, analytics). They may access personal data only to provide their services and must protect it under contract.
• Professional advisers (legal, accounting, insurance) under confidentiality.
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security.
• Business transfers (merger, acquisition) with appropriate safeguards.

A list of key processors is available on request.

6. International data transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom and may process personal data in other countries. When transferring personal data from the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries that do not have an adequacy decision, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), along with any additional measures required to ensure adequate protection of your data.

7. Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it.

Typical periods (unless a longer period is required by law or for disputes):

• General inquiries: up to 24 months after last contact
• Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe or your email bounces
• Contract records & invoices: 7 years
• Recruitment data: up to 12 months after a hiring decision (longer if you consent to talentpool retention)
• Security logs: up to 12 months

8. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit/at rest where applicable, access controls (least privilege, MFA), segregated client repositories/environments, logging, and change control. No system is 100% secure; if we identify a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and/or regulators as required by law.

9. Your choices & rights

A. All users

• Opt out of marketing: use the unsubscribe link or email us.
• Cookie choices: use the banner and Cookie Preferences link in the footer.

B. EEA/UK residents (GDPR/UK GDPR)

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection to processing (including for direct marketing), and data portability. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise rights, email privacy@marsbridge.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local Supervisory Authority (e.g., your national DPA or the UK ICO).

C. California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

We provide the rights to know (access), correct, delete, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (as defined by law). We do not sell personal information and do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising (“sharing”). If this changes, we will update this policy and provide opt-out controls. We do not offer financial incentives related to your data.

To exercise rights, email privacy@marsbridge.com and indicate “CCPA Request”. We will verify your request as required.

10. Research data (projects and surveys)

For client engagements, we commonly process data under a processor role and follow the client’s instructions and safeguards specified in the contract/DPA (including purpose, retention, and deletion). If we act as a controller (e.g., our own surveys), we provide a project-specific notice describing data categories, purpose, and retention, and we obtain consent where required.

11. Children

Our website and services are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact privacy@marsbridge.com to request deletion.

12. Third-party links

Our website may link to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; we are not responsible for them.

13. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and, with your consent, to measure performance. See our Cookie Policy for details and manage choices via the Cookie Preferences link here or in the footer.

14. Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means. We may use analytics and scoring to improve services, but human judgment is involved in our decisions.

15. How to contact us

For questions or to exercise your rights:

• Email: privacy@marsbridge.com
• Mail: Marsbridge Capital, Kemp House, 124 City Rd, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (e.g., a banner). Your continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
