Confidentiality Policy
In the Confidentiality Policy, this clause appears:
Nous n'utilisons les renseignements que pour communiquer et à l’occasion pour **faire profiter aux Utilisateurs** des autres services offerts, ainsi que pour des fins de statistiques.
I completely understand what it says, but am looking for a more eloquent way of expressing than "to make Users benefit from..."
It seems as though this needs a "tournure" of language and syntax to make this work smoothly. In someway I'm wanting to use "to help Users benefit from..." Would that be out of line?

A little wordy, but I think it translates the idea. See reference for example (under "Privacy")

allow/let users to benefit from
If you're looking for something more "elegant", I think that the above is a valid suggestion. If you want to go deep into the etymology, I think the Latin for both roots (the French 'profiter' and English 'benefit' have the same general meaning in the English: to profit/benefit from. To benefit from something carries, however, a more innocuous (not as obviously "business/profit forward") connotation.
