Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We adhere to strict data minimization principles. We only collect information essential to delivering services, maintaining account security, and operating our educational tracks:

• Contact & Account Data: Your name, email address, and optional phone number provided during sign-up, waitlist entry, or consultancy checkout.
• Session & Authentication Records: Cryptographic verification tokens, IP addresses, device user-agents, and login timestamps to verify OTP codes and prevent unauthorized access.
• Transaction Records: Purchase history, cohort reservations, advisory time preferences, and payment status receipts.
• Referral Attribution: Unique referral codes and associated partner attribution tokens stored via privacy-safe cookies.

2. Payment Security & Financial Information

MARS does not store, process, or transmit sensitive credit card numbers or banking passwords on our direct servers. All card transactions are securely handled by certified Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways (including Stripe).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information exclusively to:

• Deliver one-time authentication codes (OTP) to your email for passwordless login.
• Process course enrollments, cohort seat reservations, and consultancy scheduling.
• Send calendar invitations, direct meeting links, and session preparatory materials.
• Track partner referral commissions accurately within the 90-day window.
• Provide customer support and respond to direct inquiries regarding our programs.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We employ minimal, privacy-first cookies and local storage tokens strictly necessary for core platform operations:

• Essential Session Cookies: Required to maintain your authenticated login state across page navigations.
• Affiliate Attribution Cookies: Valid for 90 days to correctly credit qualifying referral commissions to MARS partners.
• Performance Telemetry: Anonymized metrics to identify slow endpoints, broken links, and page load issues without intrusive cross-site tracking.

5. Data Retention & Security Controls

We employ industry-standard transport layer security (TLS 1.3) encryption in transit and encrypted storage at rest. Your account records are maintained as long as you maintain an active relationship with MARS or until you request deletion.

6. Your Data Rights & Deletion Requests

Regardless of your jurisdiction, MARS respects your fundamental right to control your digital privacy:

• Access & Portability: Request an export of all personal data held under your account.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal or contact records.
• Erasure: Request permanent deletion of your profile, email, and associated records.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us directly at marjan@marsizen.com. All requests are verified and processed within 14 business days.
