How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which your web browser communicates. There is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not act in response to these signals. If and when a standard is established, we may revise our policy on responding to these signals.

MarcomCentral® uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect the Website and MarcomCentral® Software and to prevent unauthorized access, use, and disclosure of Customer Information.

The single sign-on (SSO) functionality provides our customers full control of their user community while enforcing their respective password requirements.

Data transmission over the Internet can’t be guaranteed to be secure, and every system that allows online access is potentially vulnerable to outside attacks from unauthorized third parties. As a result, while MarcomCentral® strives to protect your User and Customer Personal Data, MarcomCentral® can’t and doesn’t guarantee or warrant the security of any User and Customer Personal Data which User transmits to MarcomCentral®, and User does so entirely at User’s own risk.
