The Macro may receive financial support from sponsors, advertisers, featured directory participants, affiliate partners, and other commercial relationships.

These relationships do not give those parties unrestricted access to personal information collected through The Macro.

Where appropriate, sponsored, promotional, affiliate, or paid content and placements will be identified as such.

We do not sell personal information for money.

We may share or permit processing of limited information by service providers that help us operate the website, distribute communications, analyze website performance, maintain security, or perform other legitimate business functions.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business.

If our data practices materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable law.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information under our control. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
