kind of audience they want. They may give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach
(for example, gold investors in a certain area code).

Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. (or people working on our behalf under contracts and confidentiality agreements) would
then take the advertisement and display it to users who meet those criteria. We may also disclose aggregate information

to you when we collect the information and gain your express consent, such as in the rules of a contest or a new
