4.3. Personal information collected not on our behalf, by third-party operators such as retailers at our properties or exhibitors or merchants on our e-commerce or e-shops, is not covered by our Privacy Policy. These third-party operators operate their business independently of us, and we do not have access to personal information collected by them.
