Collectively, this information is called “your Information”.
2. Information Transfer
We do not sell or rent your Information to third parties without your consent. We view protection of privacy as a critical community principle. We understand clearly that your information and your trust is one of our most important assets. If we ever change how we use your Information, we will notify you with an email notice. We store and process your information on computers that are protected by physical as well as technological security devices.
We rely on third party service providers to support or provide services for us in connection with your use of the Service, such as communications and hosting, security and fraud prevention, technical and customer support, tracking and reporting usage of the Service, quality assurance testing, marketing, and other functions. We share information from or about you with these third party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests.
We may share aggregate information about our users that does not identify you personally, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Service and using other data analytics tools. Please note that, while the aggregate data we provide will not identify you personally, in some instances third parties may be able to “de-anonymize” aggregate data to identify you personally based on additional information they have about you or that they receive from third parties. While we do not intend for third parties to de-anonymize the aggregate data we provide, if you are concerned about potentially being personally identified, you should not use the Service.
In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to applicable data protection laws and the terms in any privacy policy then current at the time the transaction closes. Also, in the unlikely event that we, or substantially all of our assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is authorized to use your personal information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them.
