aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500
men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may
also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of
audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the
personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our
advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it
about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
