How Mil Marketplace handles information.

This Privacy Policy describes information handled when you use Mil Marketplace. Mil Marketplace is an independent service and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, or any military service.

• Account information: your email address, encrypted authentication credentials, user identifier, and authentication/session records.
• Assignment information: positions, units, duty stations, optional rank, branch or MOS, and marketplace descriptions you submit.
• Research information: generated reports, research dates, public source links, source organizations, and verification notes.
• Reusable public research: source-backed installation, unit, and general position components, their version and freshness metadata, and cache-reuse telemetry. Marketplace-description-specific information, account information, personal preferences, and private notes are excluded from this shared library.
• Private notes: notes you save for an assignment. Although access is restricted to your account in the application, do not enter classified, CUI, sensitive, or inappropriate information.
• Feedback: rating, written review, what you liked, what could be improved, testimonial consent, attribution preference, and owner-review status.
• Access information: research usage, entitlement grants, promo-code redemption records, and related timestamps.
• Payment and refund records: Stripe Checkout Session, payment, charge, refund, and webhook identifiers; marketplace cycle or annual pass; amount; currency; mode and status; and related timestamps used for fulfillment, refund reconciliation, auditing, and support. Mil Marketplace does not receive or store raw card details.
• Operational information: request timing, errors, security-relevant records, and technical logs needed to operate and protect the service.

Information is used to authenticate users; save and reopen assignments, reports, sources, and notes; reuse sufficiently fresh public research while keeping user-specific information separate; enforce research allowances and rate limits; redeem promotional access; create and fulfill Assignment Research Pass purchases; reconcile Stripe-initiated refunds; receive feedback; review consented testimonials; maintain security; troubleshoot errors; and improve service reliability.

Supabase provides authentication and database services. Vercel hosts the application. OpenAI processes assignment inputs to produce requested research, including use of web-search capabilities. Stripe hosts Checkout and processes Assignment Research Pass payments; payment-card details are provided directly to Stripe rather than Mil Marketplace. These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Public websites linked as research sources are operated by third parties.

Do not submit classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), nonpublic operational or readiness information, vulnerabilities, future operations, private contact details, sensitive personnel information, or other information inappropriate for a public-information research service.

Mil Marketplace uses browser cookies and related session technologies supplied through Supabase to keep you signed in and refresh authentication sessions. Essential session technologies are required for the authenticated workspace to function.

Only if you choose Allow advertising measurement, Mil Marketplace enables Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) on the free Duty Station Explorer and its public installation guides. We measure public page views and guide openings to understand advertising engagement. A conversion is an engagement signal, not a purchase or revenue.

Microsoft may receive browser and device information, IP address, cookie identifiers, public Explorer URLs and advertising click identifiers, and may use this information for advertising and its own services. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement. We do not provide account identifiers, email addresses, household records, assignment research, notes or search text to UET. Advertising tracking is excluded from private workspaces, sign-in, invitation and checkout routes.

No Microsoft advertising script or measurement request is loaded before your affirmative choice. The No advertising tracking choice is available through the Advertising privacy control on any page; you may change your choice there at any time. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals keep this integration off. We remember the choice in local browser storage for up to 180 days; without storage it applies only to the current document. Essential authentication continues regardless of your advertising choice. Blocking ads or declining measurement does not restrict free guides or purchased access.

Database row-level security is designed to limit assignments, reports, sources, notes, and usage information to the authenticated owner. Server-side controls enforce research access and promo redemption. No system can guarantee absolute security, and users remain responsible for safeguarding account credentials.

Testimonial consent defaults to No. Feedback remains private unless you explicitly consent to testimonial use and the owner approves it for publication. Owner approval cannot replace missing consent. If consent is provided, attribution uses the selected First Name or Anonymous Soldier preference. Feedback does not determine research access, promo benefits, or entitlements.

Saved assignments, reports, sources, and notes may remain until deleted through available product controls or until the account or service data is otherwise removed. Deleting an assignment removes its associated saved report and notes under the current database design, but it does not restore a consumed research use. The application does not currently provide a self-service account-deletion workflow or publish fixed retention periods for backups, logs, usage, entitlements, redemption records, or non-sensitive transaction metadata.

To request assistance concerning access or deletion, email contact@mymilmarketplace.com. A request may require identity verification, and fulfillment may be subject to operational, security, or legal retention needs.

This policy may change as the service evolves. Material updates should be reflected by revising the effective date. Questions can be sent to contact@mymilmarketplace.com.
