• We use various service providers, vendors, and contractors (collectively, “Contractors”) to assist us in providing our Services to you. These Contractors may have limited access to your Personal Data in the course of providing their products or services to us, so that we in turn can provide our Services to you. These Contractors may include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content related to the operation and maintenance of our website and Services.  Access to your Personal Data by these Contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the Contractor to perform its limited function for us.
• We do not sell, rent, exchange or allow your data to be used by third parties for their own marketing purposes.
• We may be required to share your Personal Data with various government authorities in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes; to establish or exercise our legal rights or to protect our property; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. We also may share your Personal Data when we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities and/or to protect and defend our rights or the rights of third parties.

We use industry standard physical, technical, and administrative security measures to keep your Personal Data confidential and secure.  Because networks including the internet are not 100% secure and are subject to breaches, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data, and there is some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way to circumvent our security systems or that transmission of your information will be intercepted. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information.      The length of time we retain your Personal Data depends on the purposes for which we collect and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights. If the purposes for which we collect and use your Personal Data are complete, we may, at your written request, delete your Personal Data.  If no request is made, we may remove identifying Personal Data, such as name and email address, and retain and analyze aggregate data to inform our services and business.

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time.  If we make changes, we’ll revise the updated date at the top of this notice, and we may provide additional notice such as on our website, account sign-in page, or via the email address we have on file for you.  We will comply with applicable data protection laws with respect to any changes we make to this notice and seek your consent to any material changes if this is required by applicable law.
