We’ve revised our Privacy policy

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 4:30pm, Thu 31 Jul 2014

We wanted to let you know that we’ve made some changes to our Privacy policy that come into effect today. Most of the changes are to spruce up the language and make it a bit more readable.

However, there is also an important change that relates to the advertisements you see when you visit Trade Me. This change means that we will allow “remarketing” advertising from some advertisers and advertising agencies – previously this had only been done by us.

Remarketing is pretty common around the web. In our case, it will let our advertisers use cookies to reach people who have previously visited Trade Me, and show them relevant ads across the web.

We’ve been involved in remarketing activity since 2012, so this is just a diversification move. It’s not scary, but we wanted to let you know.

If you have any questions, please email our privacy team.
