1. Who We Are
Marthio is a financial news platform. For questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal data, contact us at: [email protected] — www.marthio.com. As we are based in the European Union, this policy is written in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / AVG).
2. What Data We Collect and Why
Marthio does not require registration or login. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other information you provide directly — unless you contact us.
a) Technical data (server logs): When you visit our website, our server automatically records your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you request. This is necessary to keep the website functioning and secure. Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Retention: Logs are deleted after 30 days.
b) Cookies and analytics (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics places cookies on your device and sends usage data — including a pseudonymised version of your IP address — to Google LLC in the United States. This only happens after you have given consent via our cookie banner. Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings on this page. See Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
c) Advertising (Google AdSense): If advertising is active on this website, Google AdSense may place cookies and collect data about your browsing behaviour to show you relevant advertisements. This also involves data transfer to Google LLC in the United States. This only happens after you have given consent via our cookie banner. Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can manage your Google ad preferences at: https://adssettings.google.com
d) Contact: If you contact us by email, we store your email address and the content of your message solely to respond to your inquiry. Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Retention: Deleted once your inquiry is resolved, and no later than 12 months after receipt.
3. Data Transfers Outside the EU
Google Analytics and Google AdSense transfer data to Google LLC, based in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as the legal mechanism for this transfer. For more information, see: https://business.safety.google/gdpr/
