We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we reserve the right to provide them with aggregate information about our users, who will remain anonymous; for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate anonymised information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience that they want to target (for example, women in Brighton). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
