We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users (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 information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in postcode area WV1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertiser's wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
