receive from them may be combined with information you provide us. For
example, some of our services may be available through our Platform, but
may also be integrated with the services of the Users. When you use some
of these, you may provide certain details to, and then pass on your information
to us. We may also use third party service providers to allow payments
between Users and certain service providers that might share payment
information with us, so we can make sure everything goes as smoothly as
possible for you.
