Disclosure of Your Information to third parties

By agreeing to the terms and conditions and the Privacy Policy, you agree that we may disclose your personal information in the following ways:

  • Aggregated (data collected from all user accounts) personal information is disclosed in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. However, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally.
  • By providing information about your business on the Directory, Purchase Request and Shortlist features of the Service, this information will be fully available to all other registered members.
  • To assist your use of our Site you may choose to use optional services (e.g. co-branded sites), disclose personal information to the external service providers and/or grant them permission to collect personal information about you. If you do, then the external service providers' use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy. We may, for your convenience, provide some of your personal information to the external service provider offering such services. However, before we disclose your personal information to an external service provider, you will have the opportunity to see what data is about to be sent and have the ability to approve the disclosure. To prevent our disclosure of your personal information to an external service provider, you can decline such disclosures or simply not use their services.
  • If you register on a Markets Unlocked co-branded web site, you grant us permission to pass your email address back to that co-branded web site and affiliated web sites. The use of such information by the co-branded and affiliated web sites is governed by their privacy policies.
  • We may provide some of your personal information directly to internal service providers where we use them to facilitate our services (e.g., search, discussion boards, and surveys). In some instances, the internal service provider may collect information directly from you (such as the situation where we ask an internal service provider to conduct a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the internal service provider, and all information disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, these internal service providers' use of information we supply to them is restricted by confidentiality agreements. If you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.
  • We may share your information with our licensees, subsidiaries and joint venturers throughout the world which will entail transferring your information overseas for processing. To the extent these entities have access to your information we will ensure that they use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • If Markets Unlocked, its licencees, subsidiaries or joint venturers enter into or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners in order to continue to provide the Site and Services.

Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us to any party for any other purpose without your consent.
