As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services.
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) personal information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, email address, and password are not disclosed to these third parties in a personally identifiable manner.
Community Review Community. Your User ID is displayed throughout the Site and is therefore available to the public. All of your activities on the Site will be identifiable to your User ID. Other people can see your reviews. Therefore, if you associate your name with your User ID, the people you have revealed your name to will be able to personally identify your Community Review activities. So we reccommend not using you email address or name as your User ID. Further, we may send out notices to you or other community members regarding suspicious activity or policy violations on the Site.
