5. HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Any visitor to the TBC Website anywhere in the world can view your public profile information and content that you have willingly shared.

The over-riding principles we apply are these:

We, and (where relevant) our online processing agents, will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation except as consented to by you in accordance with prevailing law.

Profile Information. Once a Member selects a location, some or all of the information held for that Member, except for the email address, telephone numbers and passwords, will be publicly available at the listing for that location.

Your home location, in terms of your town / city, state / county and country, and any other location specific information you submit to the TBC Website must be considered at all times to be publicly available information. However, address details submitted to the TBC Website are not made publicly available.

Email addresses. We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the TBC Website. Members may change the email address at any time. No tracking technologies are used within / in conjunction with emails nor do we share, sell, rent or trade with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Un-validated Memberships. If you register for the TBC Website, and you receive a validation email, but fail to validate your Membership then we may contact you via email at periods of 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days at your registered email address to notify you of the invalid status. Should you fail to respond to these notifications then we may send you one final notice before the un-validated Membership is removed.

Advertising. The TBC Website may include display or editorial advertising for other businesses. However, we do not use, nor provide to third parties, anonymous demographic data provided by Members to these advertisers.

Telephone numbers. You may enter a contact telephone number in your profile. Your number will never be disclosed to any third party without your prior consent. Should we introduce an additional service which utilises telephone numbers, or we wish to provide you with informational content via your mobile phone, you will be given the option to agree to this, as we believe it should be your choice what services you receive.

Credit Card information. We currently DO NOT accept credit card payments but we may do so in the future. If and when we do so, we will only work with the leading Merchant Providers in the industry who specialize in Fraud and Data Verification. We share your billing information with such companies insofar as necessary for the processing of your payment or to prevent or detect fraud. These companies have agreed not to retain, share, store or use your personally identifiable information for any secondary purpose.

TBC companies and subsidiaries. We may share data supplied by you (or collected about you) with our subsidiaries and other companies owned by us, but only for the purposes described in this policy.

Changes in TBC's business. If all of the assets which TBC uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them) are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party.

Place of processing. The computers and companies that process data on our behalf are based in the United States. Thus, your personal data (which may include data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or concerning health or sex life) may be transferred to, processed and held both inside and outside of Malaysia. Some countries may not have as well developed data protection laws in place to protect your information, but we will ensure your personal data is treated in compliance with those laws and this Privacy Policy.

6. SHARING INFORMATION

When you use the TBC Website, you may form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see the list of people whom you have communicated with. You post a User Submission (as defined in the TBC Terms of Website) on the TBC Website at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information.
