Does Tugela Hardware Share Your Personal Information?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling our customers’ personal information to others. We share customers’ personal information only as described below and with contracted suppliers and or vendors and service providers that follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

• Transactions involving Third Parties:We make available to your services, products, applications, or skills provided by third parties for use on or through Tugela Hardware        Services. For example, you can order products from third parties through our stores, download applications from third-party application providers. We also offer services or sell product lines jointly with third-party businesses, vendors, and suppliers. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customers’ personal information related to those transactions with that third party.
• Third-Party Product & Service Providers:We either contract with or employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders for products or services, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing payments, transmitting content, scoring, assessing and managing credit risk, and providing customer service. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Tugela Hardware or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of Tugela Hardware and Others:We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms & Conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Tugela Hardware, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
•  

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
