A privacy policy change comes into effect today
Written by The Trade Me team in General at 5:00pm, Mon 2 Nov 2015
Earlier this month we gave you a heads up about a minor change to our privacy policy which comes into effect today.
We’ve tweaked our policy in light of some awesome services Trade Me is offering, to ensure we’re being upfront and transparent about what we do with your personal information. You can see the new clause 1.g, below:
Where Trade Me uses third parties to undertake services, we may provide those third parties with some of your information if it is required to fulfil those services. For example, we use third parties to send you letters for address verification, to provide you with shipping services or to conduct research for us to ensure the Services we provide you are relevant and personalised to your interests. We also use third party software (such as customer relationship management, marketing automation and accounting software) that holds your information, sometimes overseas. We require any third party to undertake strict precautions to protect your information against unauthorised use or disclosure.
As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
