§ 3Information Sharing Disclosure – How is my Information Used and Shared
The use of Personal Information depends on the context in which it is collected. Therefore, pay special attention to the categories below that relate to the features of the Sites that you wish to utilize.
In general, Matchbuyer uses the information collected from you to communicate with you and operate our Sites and Services. Matchbuyer also uses this information to respond to your requests and present you with advertising ourselves or from our Partners or associated advertisers that we believe will be of interest or useful to you.
Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting Personal Information that identifies you personally, where you have chosen to keep it private. We may share Personal Information with your affirmative consent or under the following circumstances or understandings.
Certain features, products or services on or of our Sites may seek or obtain Personal Information from or about you, which may be used in the following ways:
When you consent or direct Matchbuyer to share the Personal Information. We may also share this information with others to fulfill your request or to facilitate your use of the information, features, products or Services, or as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Policy. When sharing Personal Information in such a manner, we may use and share any registration information that you submit as set forth in section 3.7 below.
By submitting a request or inquiry about (or a request or inquiry for information about), or a request or authorization to be contacted about, financial services, healthcare, travel, gaming, real estate-, moving-, neighborhood-, or home-related products, services, offerings, procedures, details or matters you are providing to Matchbuyer’s associated advertisers, lead customers (e.g., lead or referral service customers), subscribers and Professionals (each, a “Provider”), and to Matchbuyer, your consent to be contacted for marketing, informational and related purposes in connection with such request, authorization or inquiry by one or more Providers and by Matchbuyer by telephone device (including, but not limited to, being contacted on a recorded line and potentially by use of automated dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voice messaging), email, mail or otherwise, based on the phone number, email address and/or other data you have provided. This consent applies even if your phone number, email address or other data is on a corporate, federal, State, local or other do-not-contact type of list or directory (such as the U.S. National Do Not Call Registry). You are not required to consent to receiving autodialer calls, or to otherwise provide this consent, as a condition of purchasing any products or services from Providers or Matchbuyer.
You agree that your submitted request, authorization or inquiry (as described above) acts as your electronic signature for this consent. You acknowledge that for text, SMS, calls and other electronic messages that message and data rates (for example, from your network provider) may apply.
You (whether you are a consumer, a Professional, a Provider or otherwise) consent to Matchbuyer (including any designee of Matchbuyer) contacting you in any manner consistent with information (including Personal Information) you have provided or we otherwise have pertaining to you or consistent with other instructions, requests, inquiries or consents that have been given by you or on your behalf (whether by way of this Privacy Policy or otherwise). If we determine we need consent from you we currently do not have (or are not sure we have), Matchbuyer (including any designee of Matchbuyer) may contact you by any available communication means to seek such consent.
Matchbuyer is not restricted as to information, including Personal Information, except as described in this Privacy Policy.
3.2. Service providers to Matchbuyer
When Matchbuyer hires a service provider to help operate the Services or our business, Matchbuyer may give access to Personal Information only as necessary to perform the service for Matchbuyer, and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
3.3. Partners with whom we conduct business
1 For information, features, products and services marketed or offered to you jointly or on a coordinated basis by us and a third party, Personal Information may be shared with or independently gathered by the third party. Matchbuyer may therefore give business partners access to Personal Information only as necessary to offer Services with those business partners, and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
2 You acknowledge that Matchbuyer will be free to use Personal Information to facilitate such information, features, products and services (or information about them) being made available to you via email, telemarketing, sms or direct mail prospecting and as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you understand the third party may use the information in different ways.
3 We want our advertising to be as relevant and interesting as the other information you find on our Sites. With this in mind, we use all your information to show you relevant ads. We may share Personal Information with advertising, measurement or analytics partners based on your affirmative consent provided by accepting this Privacy Policy. We may also provide these partners with information about the reach and effectiveness of their advertising without providing information that personally identifies you, or if we have aggregated the information so that it does not personally identify you.

We may forward or share information relating to you, which may include such information as well as Personal Information obtained through our sign-up form or otherwise, to certain Professional(s), which may sometimes include multiple Professionals (such as in cases where a given Professional has a marketing or business relationship with one or more other Professionals and designates them to receive such information, or in cases where the nature of a product, service or feature offered on or through a Site is designed to involve participation by multiple Professionals). Those Professionals or their affiliates, contractors, advertisers, agents or other designees may use such information and contact you regarding your needs or possible interests, as may we ourselves. The following paragraph applies only to Professionals; others may not infer any commitments or assurances from such following paragraph.
3 Professionals. This paragraph applies only to Professionals, but does not apply to a Professional to the extent modified in a separate written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Matchbuyer, which agreements may be entered into by Matchbuyer in its sole discretion and without notice to others.
