By accessing or using our services, you consent to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Marlin Media is a digital marketing consultancy providing services including paid media management, digital strategy, content, analytics, and related marketing services.We also operate internal technology systems that help authorized Marlin Media personnel analyze and manage advertising activity for client accounts that Marlin Media has been authorized to access.These systems are not offered as public software-as-a-service products and are not available for unrestricted public use.

Depending on how you interact with Marlin Media, we may collect:

business and marketing information supplied in connection with our services;
website usage information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and pages visited;
advertising, analytics, ecommerce, and campaign information from platforms that clients authorize Marlin Media to access.

When a client authorizes Marlin Media to manage or analyze an advertising account, our internal systems may access information made available through that advertising platform.For Google Ads, Marlin Media uses the Google Ads API to access Google Ads accounts that have explicitly granted Marlin Media the appropriate account or manager access.Depending on the services being provided and permissions granted, Google Ads data accessed may include:

• Google Ads account and customer information;
• campaign and advertising structure;
• campaign status and configuration;
• impressions, clicks, cost, CTR, CPC, conversions, conversion value, and other advertising performance metrics where available;

Marlin Media does not use Google user data for unrelated advertising purposes, sell Google user data, or provide Google user data to data brokers or information resellers.Google user data is not used to train generalized or non-personalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

Marlin Paid Media is a private, internal system used by authorized Marlin Media personnel and contractors involved in managing approved client paid-media accounts.

The system combines authorized advertising-platform information with client-specific business and strategy context to support reporting, monitoring, analysis, recommendations, human decision-making, and controlled advertising operations.

Advertising account mappings and API credentials are maintained server-side. Users of Marlin Paid Media do not receive unrestricted access to arbitrary client advertising accounts.Material advertising actions are subject to Marlin Media's internal approval and control processes.

Marlin Media uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration.

Advertising-platform credentials and API credentials used by our internal systems are stored in secure server-side environments and are not intentionally exposed through client-facing interfaces.

Access to internal systems and client advertising information is limited to authorized personnel and service providers who require access to perform legitimate business functions.

Marlin Media does not sell personal information or Google user data.

We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate our business and provide requested services, including infrastructure, analytics, ecommerce, communications, and technology providers, where such access is reasonably necessary to provide those services.

We may also disclose information:

• at the direction or with the consent of the applicable client;
• where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
• to protect the rights, security, or integrity of Marlin Media, our clients, or others.

Service providers are expected to process information only for the purposes for which it has been provided and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Marlin Media's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the applicable Google API Services User Data Policy, including applicable Limited Use requirements.

Google Ads information obtained through Google APIs is used only to provide or improve the paid-media services and functionality requested by clients who have authorized Marlin Media to access their accounts.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain legitimate business and audit records, comply with contractual or legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain the integrity of our strategic and performance history.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of the client relationship.
