When EspaceMwen.com Discloses Information

identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable information to
our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons
for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require
that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with
our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of
such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and
security measures.

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
EspaceMwen.com allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad
networks, to serve advertisements within the EspaceMwen.com Sites. These
third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to
your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the EspaceMwen.com
Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may
also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to
measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the
advertising content you see.
EspaceMwen.com does not provide any personally identifiable information to
these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as
part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to
opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks
EspaceMwen.com to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example,
men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have
viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement,
the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the
audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information
regarding your use of the ESPACE MWEN Sites, such as the number of times you
viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine
which ads to deliver to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad
servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on their
practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices.
EspaceMwen.com's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the
activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
Currently, EspaceMwen.com has relationships with the following third-party ad
servers or ad networks:
