Use and disclosure of information collected:
Please note that there are instances where we share your volunteered information with other parties.
Maytoo, like many internet and catalogue retailers, employs other companies and individuals to perform specific functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivery of packages, mail and e-mail, address hygiene, credit card processing services, or research that improves the quality of services or offers provided to you. These providers have access to the information that they require to perform their functions but are prohibited by us from using that information for any other purposes. You may, however, "opt-out" of this use of your information at any time, but doing so may impair our ability to provide you with proper service and to process your orders (see Section K).
We may disclose your name and mailing address to other parties for marketing purposes. However, we never share your e-mail address, phone number, credit card or financial information for these purposes.

Personal information, in general, is information that relates to a natural person. Personal information includes such things as an individual’s name, address and phone number.
You may always choose not to contact us by e-mail, participate in a survey or to provide any personal information using an on-line form. Alternative methods for contacting us in person, by phone or by mail are available by using the information in the Contact Information section at the end of this policy (see Section K). Your choice to not participate in these activities on-line will not impair your ability to browse, read or download content provided via the site.
