However, some or all parts of our platform may not function correctly if such features are disabled.
c. Unsolicited personal information
In the event we inadvertently collect personal information from you, or a third party, in circumstances where we have not requested or solicited that information (known as unsolicited information), and it is determined by TomKat (in its absolute discretion) that the personal information is not required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information or deidentify that information. ​
