you have told us you still want to proceed.

from both EPL Web Solutions Ltd and those of selected third parties, to evaluate the effectiveness
of our marketing of the Website and for statistical analysis. We may pass this information

may do the same. We will not disclose any such information outside of EPL Web Solutions
Ltd except for fraud prevention purposes and/or if required/obliged by law or Governmental
or judicial bodies or agencies or to our regulators under proper authority, or under
