This can consist of information such as your business name, name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, gender as well as information collected about your use of our services (such as what you view on and items you have “added” to your basket when signed in to your Browse Bazaar account). Please note that sometimes we will require you to provide additional information. Where we provide personalized services, we may ask your permission to review third party data about you, for example, your Twitter or Facebook feeds, to get to know you better and to provide more effective personalization.

We may use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:
- to provide our services, activities or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
- to provide you with the most user-friendly online navigation experience;
- for “service administration purposes”, which means that we may contact you for reasons related to the service, activity or online content you have signed up for, as set out in section 5 below (e.g. to provide you with password reminders, to notify you that a particular service, activity or online content has been suspended for maintenance, to notify you of updates to our Privacy and Cookies Policy or Terms of Use, to let you know if your Browse Bazaar account has become dormant and to ask if you would like to use it again before we close it);
- where we provide personalized services, we may analyze the information you supply, as well as your activity on our (and other) services, so that we can offer a more relevant, tailored service. For instance, we could use your viewing history to provide personalized recommendations. If you are signed-in or subscribed to email newsletters, you will receive a personalized service.

6- Will I be contacted for marketing purposes?
Browse Bazaar may send you marketing emails or contact you on our platforms to notify you of information that we deem may be of value to you. We may personalize the message content based upon any information you have provided to us and your use of our platforms. We may use information which we hold about you to show you relevant advertising on third-party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter). This could involve showing you an advertising message where we know you have a Browse Bazaar account and have used services. If you don’t want to be shown targeted advertising messages from Browse Bazaar, some third-party sites allow you to request not to see messages from specific advertisers on that site in future. If you want to stop all personalized services from the us, including targeted advertising messages on third party sites you can visit the Your Account section and update your preferences there.

However, we may share with third party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter) some data, with appropriate security measures, to show you relevant advertising on third party sites, as set out in section 7. Sometimes Browse Bazaar uses third parties to process your information on our behalf, for example to provide services or analysis.

If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on our websites or otherwise engage in any disruptive behavior on any Browse Bazaar service, we may use your personal information to stop such behavior.

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (all referred to here as a “device”) web browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your web browser if your browser’s preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website to track online traffic flows. Similar technologies are also often used within emails to understand whether the email has been read or if any links have been clicked. If you continue without changing your settings, we’ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on the Browse Bazaar website. However, you can change your cookie settings at any time. On the Browse Bazaar websites, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our websites to your interests. During any visit to the Browse Bazaar website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
