PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

When you visit the Site, we may collect certain information about you in different ways, including details about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

​

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

​

• “Cookies” are data files placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

​

• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

​

• “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

​​

Additionally, when you apply as a vendor or attempt to fill out the application form through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, address, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Application Information.”

​

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to both Device Information and Application Information.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

We use the Application Information that we collect to register you and/or your business through the Site (including arranging for further communication to provide you with information and/or confirmation as a vendor). We may also share your information (including name and contact details) with trusted third-party service providers who may request such information from us. For example, a shopping mall may require vendor details for businesses operating on their premises.

​

Additionally, we use this Application Information to:

​

• Communicate with you;

​

• Review feedback and instructions received from you;

​

• Screen vendors for potential risk; and

​

• When in line with the preferences you have shared, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, including advertising in partnership with sponsors.

​

We use the Device Information that we collect to help screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and by assessing the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

​

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use it, as described above.

These partners collect information about your activity on this website to enable us to show relevant advertisements for our products and/or services to you on third-party websites and apps.
