Disclosure of your information
Although we never disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, below are some of the ways in which we may disclose your personal information:

(i) Any information we disclose to advertisers is not personally identifiable and all information is provided in a statistical manner only. Information that is never disclosed to advertisers includes your name, e-mail address, residence address, password or financial information.

(ii) Your Username will be displayed on the site and therefore can be viewed by the public. Other users of the site can see any bids you place and any comments you make on the site. This information cannot personally identify you unless you choose a username that closely matches your real name or you choose to disclose your username and real name to others.

(iii) If you are involved in a transaction, we will provide your name and item number only to the supplier of the item that you won. We will not provide any other personal information to the supplier, however you may wish to do so yourself when you contact or visit the supplier to claim your winning item.
(iv) We may use internal service providers who we outsource some services to or who facilitate our services and such service providers may directly be given your personally identifiable information. These service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information provided by us to them.

(v) PriceYourMeal Ltd. cooperates with government and law enforcement enquiries and other third parties to enforce laws and prevent fraud. If we are requested to provide all personal information we hold on you (including address and telephone number) to law enforcement or government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, or any other activity that exposes you or us to a legal liability, we will (and you authorise us to) disclose this information.

(vi) Although we make every effort to keep your personal information confidential and use industry standard practices to do so, third parties may unlawfully intercept between you and the Site. Therefore we do not promise, and you should not expect that your personally identifiable information or communications with us will always remain private and confidential.
