We have implemented a range of controls and technical measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems. These include:
While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.
We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by government authorities. We may disclose personal information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We may also share such information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or act regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms, or as otherwise required by law.
In certain circumstances, we share personal information with third parties where disclosure is necessary in connection with the delivery and offering of the Online Services to you and the operation of our business (for example, to provide payment-card processing, credit report checks, business analytics). These third-party service providers are required to protect personal information we share with them and may not use any directly identifying personal information other than to provide the services for which we have contracted them. They are not allowed to use the personal information we share for purposes of their own direct marketing (unless you have separately consented to such use under the terms provided by the third party). Any information shared will be governed by the third-party provider’s privacy policy (including any personal information we may access via the third-party provider). These third-party providers should inform you about how you can modify your privacy settings on their sites.
