Analysis. In our ongoing effort to improve the content and services we offer, we continually analyse the information we receive to identify trends and patterns in user behavior. Your personal information, when used in such a manner, is aggregated with others to amass enough data for such analysis and is not personally identifiable.
Testimonials and Feedback. We sincerely appreciate the feedback we receive from our users. Your feedback, both positive and negative, is forwarded to the appropriate departments at AboutMatch as necessary so we can continue to monitor and improve the service we provide. We may also share testimonials in our marketing literature but will do so without including personally identifiable information unless we have expressly received your permission to do so. If you would like your testimonial removed, please contact us.

How do we share your information with others?
Our customer information is an important part of our business. As a result, we only disclose this information as described in this section. Our sharing of information to outside parties is described below. As part of our service to customers, we provide information to suppliers so that they can respond directly to you when you submit a questionnaire.
Prospective Buyers. To facilitate our business of matching buyers and suppliers, prospective buyers using our services may be provided with information about suppliers relevant to the buyer's request or inquiry using such services. This includes supplier contact and company background information (as provided by Suppliers in the AboutMatch Supplier Profile, under the Supplier Zone tab in our site).
Suppliers. Similarly, suppliers whose products or services are relevant to a prospective buyer's requests, and/or marketers, resellers and other service providers performing marketing, fulfillment and/or similar services on behalf of such suppliers with respect to the prospective buyer's request, may be provided with that prospective buyer's information. We restrict the use of the buyer's information (including all forms of contact information submitted) by the supplier to communicating with the buyer, or permitting its marketers, resellers or other service providers to communicate with the buyer, about their desired purchase.
Agents. From time to time, we may use the services of third-party companies to help facilitate our business activities. These include search engine optimisation and marketing service providers. These companies are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and are prohibited from using the information we provide for any reason except to perform the functions that AboutMatch has outlined for them. While AboutMatch's matching software is developed in Israel, we not send personal customer data offshore.
Legal Requests. AboutMatch is interested in protecting its members and the community at large. We will release account and other personal information to legal authorities in compliance with all laws, rules or regulations or to protect persons or property.
