There may be national laws that restrict the right to erase.
• You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing your personal data to the extent that
    ◦ the accuracy of the data is disputed by you,
    ◦ the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the personal data,
    ◦ we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or
    ◦ you have objected to the processing.

10. Other important information regarding data protection
This section contains important additional information about the protection of personal data in connection with the use of our Services, including whether you are required to provide personal data.
What happens when you share your personal data on our sites or applications?
The information you reveal to other users or share on SNOWTRACK is accessible to other users. Your purchases, things for sale, saved interests, sellers, searches, shopfronts, feedback, ratings, product reviews, and related comments, for instance, are visible to other users. Any information you choose to share in your profile is also visible to other users. Your public user ID may be linked to all of your public SNOWTRACK activity and exposed to the public when you use our services. Your public user ID and certain items may be mentioned in notices sent to other users regarding notice violations and suspicious activities on our sites. Consequently, in the event that you choose a username that makes it possible for others to identify you, they might be able to identify your SNOWTRACK activities.

We only permit restricted access to other users' contact and financial information as needed to process transactions and collect payments in order to help secure your personal data. On the other hand, during a transaction, users can see each other's name, user ID, (alias) email address, and further contact. For instance, before completing a transaction, users may be able to exchange phone numbers (e.g., a seller may choose to share their telephone number with a buyer so that the buyer may call with enquiries regarding a listed item). In this case, sellers are prohibited from using a buyer's telephone number for other purposes (e.g. completing a transaction off SNOWTRACK or adding the buyer to a marketing list).

Your responsibilities over transactional information you receive through SNOWTRACK We may give you access to the personal information of another user (including name, username, (alias) email address, contact details and billing information, or return address) when you successfully complete a transaction with them (or when a transaction has been cancelled, unsuccessful, or later invalidated). You are in charge of this data independently of us, and you are accountable for any processing you carry out once we have given you access to it. This includes adhering to any restrictions set forth in our User Agreement and this User Privacy Notice.

We advise you to safeguard other users' privacy and provide an explanation of your data processing activities in your own privacy notice, unless you are acting only for personal gain. As a seller, you are required to abide by all applicable data protection rules, especially those that safeguard the rights of other users as data subjects. For example, you must provide them with the ability to view the personal data you have acquired and request that it be deleted.

The personal information that you have access to may only be used for SNOWTRACK transaction-related activities, or for other services provided by SNOWTRACK (including, reporting fraud, and member-to-member contacts), with the user's express approval. It is against our User Agreement to use another user's personal information that you have access to for any other reason, such as adding them to a mailing list without that user's express agreement.
