We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, and security, investigate fraud, or respond to lawful requests.

D. Business transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

E. With your direction
We may share information when you ask us to or consent.

7) Unauthorized Sharing Prevention

We maintain reasonable safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized sharing or disclosure of consumer information. Safeguards may include access controls, least-privilege permissions, administrative controls over who can view or export data, and vendor restrictions requiring confidentiality and use limitations. We restrict access to consumer information to authorized personnel and service providers who need it to provide services.

8) Data Security 

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and reduce risk.

For New York residents, we take steps consistent with the New York SHIELD Act to protect “private information,” including maintaining reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

9) Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, maintain business records (including invoices and payments), comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it when reasonably feasible.

  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain information (subject to legal and recordkeeping requirements)
