How is the Personal Information Used?
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your personally identifiable information private and will not share it with third parties unless such disclosure is necessary and permitted by applicable law to: (a) comply with legal process (such as a court order) or other legal requirements of any governmental authority; (b) protect our rights or property; (c) enforce any terms and conditions of use or agreements applicable to our website and that incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference; (d) protect the interest of users of our website, other than you, or any other person; or (e) operate or conduct maintenance and repair of our services or equipment, as authorized by law.
