However, if The Accommodation Shop Limited sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or The Accommodation Shop Limited (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, The Accommodation Shop Limited may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.

If you elect to engage in these activities, however, The Accommodation Shop Limited may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including postal code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. The Accommodation Shop also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site.
