How we use data.

We use station-level prices for regular gasoline and diesel only under written license agreements with commercial data providers. We do not scrape websites or applications, and we do not purchase scraped data.

The data is for our internal use. Our analysts and pricing models use it to produce recommendations. We do not sell, share or display it. It does not appear on this website, in client reports, on client dashboards or in exports. Clients receive their recommended price, their position in the local market and the rationale.

We test our models on historical data before they produce recommendations for clients. When a data agreement ends, we return or delete the data as that agreement requires.

A client's sales, fuel costs and posted prices are used only for that client's recommendations and reports. Each client's data is stored separately and is never combined with another client's. We do not sell or share it.

At the end of an engagement, a client may request a copy of their data or its deletion.

Any system that holds client or market data must meet these requirements.

• Access is limited to staff who require it, each with an individual account.
• Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Licensed market data is processed on our servers and never sent to client devices.
• We record which data went into every recommendation.

We work with independent stations and convenience stores with 1 to 50 locations, in all 50 states and DC. Data providers and industry partners can reach us at data@marginline.co.
