A number of these supplemental notices can be found below and are intended to supplement the generally applicable sections of this Privacy Notice. These supplemental notices describe our data collection, use, and sharing practices as to the specific processing scenarios, and in some cases may differ from the terms of this Notice.

By using our Services you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Notice. Marqeta may amend this Notice in line with the “Changes to this Privacy Notice” section below.

Like many companies, we may collect environmental variables, including the domain from which you access our Services, the time you accessed our Services, the type of web browsers and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the website you left to visit our Services, the names of the web pages you visit, the Internet address of the website you visit next, and your browser settings (e.g., language preference). We and our third-party service providers may monitor visits to our Services and sessions of users; this monitoring may log the details of your visits to our Services and information generated in the course of using our Services, such as clicks, page visits, text entered, how long you spent on a page, and other details of your visits to or actions on our Services. We use these technologies to collect and retain usage data for the purposes described in this Notice, including for marketing and security purposes and to improve your experience with our Services. We may also disclose any of the data collected by these technologies to third parties for our business purposes.
 

How We Use Personal Data


We use the personal data we collect for the purposes described in this Notice or as otherwise disclosed to you in a supplemental notice. For example, we may use any of the above categories of information to:
 
  • Provide the Services to you, including to create and manage an account for you
  • Verify your identity
  • Maintain, improve and enhance the delivery of our Services
  • Improve our websites, including to better understand website visitors and the users of our Services, including where they come from and what content is of interest
  • Provide information related to our Payments Services, new products, software updates, upgrades, and system enhancements
  • Market and advertise our Payments Services (including via digital advertising) across different forums, including sending you informational and marketing materials and promotions, where permitted by applicable law or with your consent 
  • Obtain your feedback
  • Respond to correspondence and inquiries
  • Provide support and customer service
  • Run contests, sweepstakes or other promotional activities, where permitted by applicable law
  • Personalize your website or online experience as part of the Services
  • Monitor and enforce compliance with our policies, applicable laws and regulations, and contractual terms
 

Information Sharing and Disclosure


We may disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients:
 
  • Affiliates and subsidiaries: We may provide your personal data to our global affiliates and subsidiaries. We share information with our affiliates and subsidiaries so they can help us deliver our Services or conduct data processing on our behalf. 
 
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may provide your personal data to our third-party service providers (including but not limited to IT service providers, identity verification and fraud prevention providers and data analytics providers) who perform certain functions for us and will process your personal data on our behalf. 
 
  • Parties in a Corporate Transaction or Proceeding: We may share personal data with actual or prospective parties to an actual or potential corporate transaction or proceeding, including their representatives and other relevant participants in or during negotiations of any sale, merger, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, dissolution, or a change in control, divestiture, or sale involving all or a portion of Marqeta’s business or assets.
 
We may also access, transfer, use, disclose, and preserve personal data when we believe that doing so is necessary to:
 
  • Comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement, supervisory or regulatory authorities, or other government agencies
  • Protect our customers and others, for example to prevent spam or attempts to commit fraud, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone
  • Operate and maintain the security of our Services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks, or
  • Protect the rights or property or ourselves or others, including enforcing our agreements, terms, and policies.
 
For information about the safeguarding measures we implement when sharing personal data with entities outside of regions where you may reside, please see the “International Transfers” section below as well as any applicable supplemental notices.
  

Information Retention

 
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the transactions you have requested, comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Because these needs can vary for different types of information and the different Services, actual retention periods can vary significantly based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the information, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete information, and our legal or contractual obligations.
 
A number of retention periods have been specified in our records retention policy and schedules or are otherwise determined based on the criteria above. In other cases, personal data will be retained for the duration of a specific service, such as where you sign up to be part of our developer community. Additional retention periods are set out within our records retention policy and schedule. Please note that any specified retention periods may be reduced or extended in certain cases, for example, where we are required to remove personal data prior to the expiration date pursuant to a deletion request or where the information is subject to a legal claim or proceeding and we need to retain personal data for a longer period. Following the expiration of the retention periods or when the personal data is no longer needed, we will take steps to either delete or de-identify the personal data. 
 
If you wish to receive further information about the period of time for which we retain your personal data, please contact privacy@marqeta.com. 
 

Information Security


We implement reasonable and appropriate technical, physical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data that we collect and process about you. Despite these measures, we cannot guarantee that the collection and ongoing processing of your personal data in connection with Services described in this Notice will be completely secure. 
 
To help us protect personal data, we request that you use a strong password with our Services and never share your password with anyone or use the same password with other sites or accounts.

International Transfers


As we operate a global business, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident or where it was collected. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective). We take steps designed to ensure that the personal data we collect under this Notice is processed and protected according to the provisions of this Notice and applicable law wherever the information is located.
 
Residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), and Switzerland should note that we may also transfer personal data from these jurisdictions and countries to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission or relevant authority to have an adequate level of data protection. This includes transfers to the United States. We also transfer personal data between the EEA and the UK as part of our business operations. These transfers may be covered via an existing adequacy mechanism, but we also use a variety of mechanisms and protections, including standard contractual clauses and data processing agreements, to help ensure your rights and protections. Additional information on international data transfers and the data transfer mechanisms we rely on is available upon request by contacting us at privacy@marqeta.com
 
EU-U.S., the UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks
 
For the purposes of transfers to the United States, Marqeta participates in and complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (referred to generally as the “DPFs”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce in relation to the processing of personal data sent from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland to the U.S.
 
Pursuant to its certification, Marqeta has committed to adhere to the respective DPF Principles for the EU, the UK and Switzerland in line with the corresponding frameworks. For more information, please see our Data Privacy Framework Notice. In the event of any conflict between this Notice and the Data Privacy Framework Notice, the Data Privacy Framework Notice  shall govern. 
 

Your Rights and Choices


As part of the Services described in this Notice, we recognize that you may have a right or need to update and manage your personal data. This also includes the ability to manage how we communicate with you, as part of the Services or for marketing purposes (as permitted under the applicable law or where we have your consent). 
 
Managing Your Personal Data and How We Communicate With You
 
For certain Services associated with this Notice, you have the ability to directly manage your personal data. We ask that you take steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate, complete and up to date. If you are unable to update your information directly, please contact us directly through the channels within the Contact Us section of this Notice. 
 
We may also communicate with you directly as part of the Services. This includes communications sent to you for Services that you have requested. In certain cases, depending on the nature of the relationship and what Services you are using or have requested, we may send you marketing and other promotional communications for products or services that we think you might be interested in.  You can opt out of or unsubscribe from these communications within the message itself or by updating your communication preferences (e.g., preferences in an account or through your device). If you are unable to opt out, please contact us at privacy@marqeta.com. In certain cases, depending on the nature of your relationship with Marqeta, you may still receive non-marketing communications after opting out. For individuals outside the US, we will not send you direct marketing unless you expressly opt in or as otherwise permitted under the applicable law. 
 
Other Rights
 
Depending on your state or country of residence, you may have additional rights, including but not limited to the: 
  • Right of access. You may have the right to request copies of the personal data that we hold about you and to receive information from us about how your information is used.
  • Right of erasure. In certain circumstances, you may have the right to require us (or any parties with whom we have shared your information) to delete the personal data that we hold about you (for example if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected). 
  • Right to object to or opt-out of processing. You may have the right to request that Marqeta stop processing your personal data or that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. For example, you may receive marketing email communications from us. If you would like to stop receiving these communications, you can update your preferences by using the “Unsubscribe” link found in those emails.
  • Right of portability. You may have a right to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes or across different services, including so that you can provide or “port” that information to another provider.
  • Right to correction. You may have the right to require us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
 
Additional information on these rights (including how to exercise them) can be found in the applicable supplemental notices. 
 
Please refer to the Contact Us section below to contact us if you would like any additional information pertaining to your rights and choices or how to exercise your rights.  Marqeta does not discriminate against individuals who exercise their rights under applicable laws and regulations.
 
When contacting us about a rights request, please identify yourself and describe your request in sufficient detail to enable us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will consider all requests and provide our response within a reasonable period in accordance with applicable laws. Please note that we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make the request or confirm the personal data we hold relates to you. To verify your identity, we will seek to match the information you provide when you submit your request to any personal data we already maintain, and we may ask you to provide additional verification information in order to assist you with your request. 
 
We may decline to process certain requests, including requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or conflict with our legal obligations. If we decline your request, we will notify you of the rationale for declining. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to appeal any denial of a rights request, subject to applicable laws. 

Third-Party Websites and Services


Marqeta Services may provide links to (or may be linked from) websites and apps run by other companies or other third-party properties, none of which are governed by this Notice. This Notice does not apply to any third-party website, app, or online product, service, feature, or businesses you may access from the Services or elect to use. Marqeta is not responsible for third-party content or information practices. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy notices of those third-party properties carefully.

Cookies and Related Technologies


We use cookies and related technologies as part of our Services described in this Notice. For more information on our cookies and similar identification technologies and how they apply to our Services, please see our Cookies and Related Technologies Notice.
 
Do Not Track
Some web browsers may have a “Do Not Track” preference that transmits a “Do Not Track” header to the websites you visit with information indicating that you do not want your activity to be tracked. Outside of certain opt-out preference settings within the browser used to access our websites such as Global Privacy Control noted in the state-specific addendums, we do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. 

Children


The Services described in this Notice are not targeted at or directed at children under the age of 16 and we do not intend to, or knowingly collect, the personal data from these individuals. If you have reason to believe a child under the age of 16 has provided personal data to us, please have the child’s parent or guardian contact us via the details in the “Contact Us” section to request the removal of that information. If we ever learn that personal data of a child under the age of 16 has been collected, we will promptly delete that information.

Changes to this Privacy Notice


Changes to this Notice may be made periodically to reflect changes to our information handling practices or relevant laws. If the changes we make are material, we will provide you with prior notice and/or obtain consent regarding such changes in accordance with applicable laws. If the changes we make are not material, this Notice will be updated by posting an updated version on our website. You can tell when this Notice was last updated by looking at the date at the top of the Notice.

3. Categories of Personal Information Sold or Shared
 
Marqeta may disclose personal information obtained from an individual's interactions with our websites to our social media, advertising and analytics providers for the purposes of displaying advertisements and delivering targeted advertising on our websites and potentially across other businesses or third party websites, for data, analytics and for content personalization features. These disclosures may qualify as “sales” or “sharing” of personal information for valuable consideration or cross-context behavioral advertising.
 
The categories of personal information we may disclose for these purposes include:
 
  • Identifiers
  • Internet/Network information
  • Inferences
      
Marqeta does not disclose personal information of individuals we know to be under the age of 16 to businesses or third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration as a “sale” of personal information or for cross-context behavioral advertising.
 
For information on how to exercise your right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, please see Section 4 of this California Notice below. 

 
4. Rights available to consumers and how to invoke those rights 
 
Available rights 
 
Residents of California have the right to exercise the rights described below.
 
  • The right to know what personal information we have collected about you as well as how it is used and shared
  • The right to delete personal information we have collected from you
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information 
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information held by us
  • The right to non-discrimination for the exercise of any of the rights above 

All rights above are subject to any conditions, exceptions or limitations provided under and available to us under the CCPA. Accordingly, we may refuse to act or impose limitations on your invocation of any of the available rights. The exercise of the rights above may also limit our ability to provide you with the Services under this Notice.

How to invoke your rights

You can invoke your rights by contacting us through any of the channels below. 
  • Post:
    • Marqeta, Inc.
    •   Attention: Assistant General Counsel, Privacy
    • Grand Ave., 6th Floor, Oakland, CA 94612, USA
  • Phone: (877) 323-4376
 
Once a request has been submitted, we may ask for additional information, including your email or phone number,  to verify your identity as well as information needed to process or understand your request. This information will only be used to fulfill your request and for compliance-related tracking purposes. These requests can also be submitted to us via an authorized agent in accordance with the requirements under the CCPA. In these cases, we will take steps to verify that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf. Typically, we require a valid power of attorney or a signed letter with your information that includes a statement of authorization for the request. We may still reach out to you in order to verify the agent’s authority to act as well as for identification purposes. 

Opting out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Marqeta provides individuals with the ability to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information in a frictionless manner in accordance with the CCPA. If we receive and are able to process a signal from your device indicating your preference to opt out from sales or sharing of personal information, as defined by law, then we will apply that preference to personal information we collect from that device, provided that we may not be able to associate the signal to the same device if:
  • you use a different web browser or other tool to interact with us,
  • you make changes to your browser (e.g., uninstall and reinstall or certain types of upgrades) that impact our ability to associate the device with the signal your device originally sent, or
  • you clear cookies or browsing data from your browser or device in a way that impacts our ability to associate the device with the signal your device originally sent.
Our websites currently recognize opt out preference signals that comply with the Global Privacy Control specification.  For more information about the Global Privacy Control, you can visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

 
5. Sensitive Personal Information
 
In limited cases, we may also process “sensitive personal information” as defined under the CCPA as part of the Services. A summary of this collection and whether the sensitive personal information is sold or shared (both as interpreted under the CCPA) has been provided below.

7. Retention
 
We retain each category of personal information as described in the “Information Retention” section above.
 
8. De-identified Information 
 
As part of our processing, we may use personal information to create de-identified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to an individual or household. Any applicable de-identified information will remain in a de-identified form and we will not attempt to re-identify the individual or household unless required or permitted by applicable law.
 
9. Updates
 
We will update this Notice from time to time to reflect changes to our information handling practices or as required by the CCPA by posting an updated version on our website. If the changes we make are material, we will provide you with prior notice and/or obtain consent (where required by applicable law) regarding such changes. 
 
California “Shine the Light” disclosure

If you are a California resident that has an established relationship with us, you have a right to know how your information is disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing practices under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civ. Code § 1798.83). You can contact us via the “Contact Us” section in the main body of the Notice to invoke these rights.

We will also process opt-out requests submitted by an individual’s opt-out preference signal as required by applicable law. Our websites currently recognize opt out preference signals that comply with the Global Privacy Control specification.

Note that where we rely on a legitimate interest basis, we undertake a balancing test to ensure that our legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests and fundamental rights. When we rely on consent as the basis for our processing, you can request to withdraw or partially revoke your consent any time by contacting us at privacy@marqeta.com or by following the instructions for revoking your consent contained within communications we send you. We honor such requests as required by applicable laws. 
 
Note that when we collect and process personal data on behalf of our customers or other parties to provide Payments Services, we are typically acting as a data processor and rely on our customer’s legal basis for processing.
