How we share personal information with other The Pattaya Village Hotels users
To process your payments, we may share some of your personal information with the person or company that you are paying or that is paying you. Your contact information, date of sign-up, the number of payments you have received from verified The Pattaya Village Hotels users, and whether you have verified control of a bank account are provided to other Kurt Svendheim users who you transact with through Kon-Tiki. In addition, this and other information may also be shared with third parties who may provide, upon your authorization, ancillary services which access you’re Kon-Tiki Account. Unless you have agreed to it, these third parties are not allowed to use this information for any purpose other than to facilitate your transactions using The Pattaya Village Hotels services.

If you use your The Pattaya Village Hotels account to transfer bitcoin, ether and or cash about the purchase or sale of goods or services, we or you may also provide the seller with your shipping address to help complete your transaction with the seller. The seller is not allowed to use this information to market their services to you unless you have agreed to it. If an attempt to pay your seller fails, or is later invalidated, we may also provide your seller with details of the unsuccessful payment. To facilitate dispute resolutions, we may provide a buyer with the seller’s address so that goods can be returned to the seller.

We work with third parties, including merchants, to enable them to accept or facilitate payments from or to you using New Nordic Group. In doing so, a third party may share information about you with us, such as your email address or mobile phone number to inform you that a payment is sent to you or when you attempt to pay that merchant or through that third party. We may use this information to confirm that you are a The Pattaya Village Hotels customer and that bitcoin as a form of payment can be enabled, or where a payment is sent to you, to send you notification that you have received a payment. Also, if you request that we validate your status as a The Pattaya Village Hotels customer with a third party, we will do so. Please note that merchants you buy from and contract with have their own privacy policies, and The Pattaya Village Hotels cannot be held responsible for their operations, including, but not limited to, their information practices.

How we share personal information with other parties
We may share your personal information with:

    • Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information about the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
    • Financial institutions with which we partner.
    • Companies that we plan to merge with or be acquired by.
    • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when:
    • We are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure; or
