SAN JOSE, Calif. — Online auction powerhouse eBay Inc. is telling users their personal data would be shared if eBay is bought out or merges with another company.

The new privacy policy takes effect May 15, but eBay already has placed notices about it on its site, which counted 22 million registered users at the beginning of the year. EBay asks new users to provide their addresses and phone numbers but does not sell such information to outside parties.
