we may report to them that 500 men aged under age 30 clicked on their advertisement
on a given day). We may also use such aggregated information to help advertisers
reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal
information we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers'
wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience. Even though we
only disclose aggregate information that is not personally-identifiable to advertisers
without your consent, when you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement
there is a possibility that the advertiser may assume that you meet the target criteria
they selected.

We may disclose personal information that you provide via this Website to the following
third parties:
- Our subsidiaries and affiliates.
- Contractors and service providers we use to support our business.
- To a buyer in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization,

as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding,
in which personal information held by the Company about its customers is among the
assets transferred.
- Potential clients that wish to know aggregated information about our users (for
example, we may report that men aged under 30 with specific job titles visit the
site most frequently, or represent the most common members/clients within the site).
