2.3 We may compile profiles and reports based on your personal information for statistical purposes or to extend our service offering and may freely trade with such profiles and statistical data with other organisations, specifically within the communities created by our Web sites: provided that such profiles and statistical data are not capable of identifying you as an individual, and that they will not contain any sensitive or confidential information about you. Any information shared by us in this regard will be made available to you on request, so that you may monitor our use of information gathered.

2.4 You hereby consent to us disclosing your information to third parties for the purposes set out below. However we will never disclose sensitive or confidential information about you to any third party, unless required to do so by operation of the law or with your prior written consent, if it pertains to any transaction or activity between you and the third party facilitated by Global Gold.

2.5 Your information may be disclosed for the following purposes:

2.5.1 Agents:

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purpose.

2.5.2 Business transfers:

In the event of the purchase or restructuring of the whole or part of our business, certain intellectual property, including our customer's information, may be transferred to another party in the normal course of business.

2.5.3 For credit purposes:

If we receive, compile, retain or report any account or personal information pertaining to you or your financial position, we will protect the confidentiality of that information, and in particular, will-

(A) use that information only for a purpose permitted or required in terms of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005, other national legislation or applicable provincial legislation; and

(B) report or release that information only to you, or to another person-

(i) to the extent permitted or required by the National Credit Act, other national legislation or applicable provincial legislation; or

(ii) as directed by-

(a) your instructions; or

(b) an order of a court or the National Credit Tribunal.

You have the right:

1. to be advised within a prescribed time before any adverse information is reported by us to a credit bureau and to receive a copy of that information upon request;
2. to inspect any credit bureau file or information concerning you without charge at least once every 12 months, or by court order or at least once within reasonable period after information has been corrected or expunged to check that it has been corrected or removed;
3. to challenge the accuracy of the information held and require the credit bureau to investigate the accuracy of any challenged information without charge;
4. to be compensated by us, should we have supplied inaccurate information, for the cost of correcting it.

Where you wish to challenge any such information, you may notify the relevant credit bureau within a reasonable time, and the credit bureau will then take reasonable steps to seek credible evidence in support of the challenged information and provide you with a copy of such evidence OR remove the information from its records if it is unable to find such evidence.

Within 20 days of receiving the evidence from the credit bureau, you may initiate a complaint through the National Credit Regulator if you still remain unsatisfied.

Until a challenge has been resolved satisfactorily, a credit bureau may not report challenged information. Failure to abide by any of the above requirements is an offence.

2.5.4 Where you consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you will be used for some other purposes and/or where it might be disclosed to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information by notifying us accordingly.
