To accomplish this, some users write reviews, articles, opinions or responses about merchants, products, stores and prices and post this information to the site. These postings can then be accessed and read by other MyShopping users. To fulfil this purpose of the site, we need to display a limited amount of personal information, so that users are able to evaluate the trustworthiness of a particular contribution.
