Except as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy, we will not share this information with third parties for any purpose and will only use this information for the sole purpose of providing you with the ability to agree to pick up and drive a package and to request a pick-up and delivery via African Foods and Gifts’ Mobile Application.
