How do we share your personal information?

We recognize your concerns about the security of the personal information that you provide to us. As a general rule, we do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you with outside parties. Your information will not be sold, exchanged or transferred to any other company for any reason, other than for the express purpose of administering the Program and delivering products or services to Members. To this end, your personal information will be transferred from Marcus Transformer to Lift & Shift Inc. and vice versa, in order to administer the Program.

We share your personal information in order to administer your account, develop and promote the program, and make offers related to accumulation and redemption opportunities, benefits, products and services. The Marcus Transformer Rewards Program may temporarily share information with a Partner in order to increase opportunities for members to accumulate points, to facilitate the redemption of rewards, or to obtain special benefits for members. In these circumstances, use by the Partner for a purpose unrelated to the Program is strictly prohibited.

Your personal information may be transferred to third-party service providers, including data processing and storage firms, that perform work or provide services in order to help us to manage and administer the Program. These service providers are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality, safeguard all information provided to them, and use the information disclosed to them only for the purposes of the Program.

We may be required to disclose information about you:

• if required to do so by law, regulation or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena),
• in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities, or
• when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
• We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event of a sale or transfer of all or a portion of the business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation) of either Marcus Transformer or Lift & Shift Inc.

How do we protect your information?

We have implemented processes and procedures to keep your personal information safe and secure, and have put appropriate safeguards (physical, technological and organizational) in place. Employees are trained on the importance of maintaining the security and confidentiality of personal information. Please note that while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that is transmitted via the Internet.

Your personal information will only be collected, used and disclosed, and will only be retained as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as may be required by law. Your personal information is retained in secure facilities, such as offices and data centres with restricted access. Electronic data is protected by technological means, such as firewalls, access controls and encryption.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When a member's account has been inactive for seven (7) years, all personal information is destroyed, anonymized or otherwise disposed of using secure methods.

Your personal information may be transferred to a third-party service provider who provides services to us or on our behalf such as hosting, data management and storage services. We may, or any such third-party service provider may, use servers for such purposes which are located outside of the country in which you reside. Where your personal information is processed in a location outside of your country, the laws of that foreign jurisdiction may apply.
