However, in cases where a settlement needs to be made for using pay services or purchasing products, YEM may exchange personal information with firms, including without limitation, financial institutions, in order to check the validity of bank accounts and/or credit cards. Likewise, YEM may disclose personal information in case such disclosure is mandatory under applicable laws or is reasonably judged to be essential in order to protect and safeguard the rights, property and safety of other users, YEM itself, and/or YEM's affiliates.

For the purpose of product development, identification of business needs, and sales promotion, YEM may use personal information, personal opinions, and the like presented by users, though such use shall be limited only to YEM itself and YEM's affiliates and business partners.
