We may start to work with vendors to enable them to accept payments from you using YGP ONLINE. In doing so, a vendor may share information about you with us, such as your mobile phone number or YGP ONLINE username, when you attempt to pay that vendor. We use this information to confirm to that vendor that you are a YGP ONLINE customer and that the vendor should enable YGP ONLINE as a form of payment for your purchase.
