Under 'Use of your personal details'.
It does say
"Our database of personal details (however we collect these details) is used by us, and third parties acting on our behalf, for administration and marketing related purposes." there.
Nowhere does it say "We can sell..". If fact it says:
"We do not rent, sell or disclose your contact details to any other third party."
The policy you are supposedly quoting from is for plusnetwork.com and plusfun.com. On Plusnetwork.com the only personal data you're giving them is what your browser is automatically sending to every site you visit, and the search queries you enter in the searchbox. The search queries, if you want to consider them personal details, are indeed used by Ask.com as a third party acting on their behalf for marketing purposes (contextual advertising). Plusfun.com (although personally not a fan of it) only links out to third party sites directly, which have their own policies.
Plus! Games (PG), where this thread was originally about, has its own
privacy policy which doesn't state anything like you quoted. In fact it says:

PG does not sell, license, lease or otherwise disclose personal information to third parties, except as described in this Privacy Policy.
For the
"except as described" part I suggest you read the full policy yourself.
Other Yuna Software have their own privacy policies too:
- The Messenger Plus! Live software has its own privacy policy which is displayed during installation of the software. It makes no mention of sharing/selling personal information.
- The Messenger Plus! Toolbar privacy policy states:

the Application does not collect or transmits personally identifiable information and does not monitor your personal use of the Application.
- The Messenger Plus! website privacy policy states:

MP!L collects no personal information about who visits the site.
Again, nowhere your quote of "We can sell.." can be found. Please don't make things up. And next time you do find something, please quote full sentences and link to the source directly so everything can stay in context.
