- contact you with offers, services or products that may be of interest to you, and

If you are in a jurisdiction where such sharing requires your permission, we will only do so with your consent.

Further, without your consent, our partners are prohibited from using your contact information for any purpose beyond those set forth above. We will not provide our partners with your credit card information.
If we collect information from you in connection with an offer jointly presented by us and a partner, we will let you know who is collecting the information and whose privacy policy applies, as well as any options you may have regarding the use of your information.
SHARING WITH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND VENDORS
Occasionally, we enter into contracts with carefully selected third parties so that they can assist us in servicing you (for example, providing you with customer service, fraud detection and deterrence, or access to advertising assets and providing us with information technology and storage services) or to assist us in our own marketing and advertising activities (including providing us with analytic information and search engine optimization services). Our contracts with such third parties prohibit them from using your personal information for any purpose beyond the purpose for which it was shared.
If you purchase a product or service from a third party through one of our brands, we will pass your personal information to such a third party so that they can fulfill your order.
We also share non-personal information with certain third parties, including the media, industry observers, marketing and advertising partners, vendors, customers, potential customers, or partners. For example, we disclose mobile search trends, email open rates by industry, campaign best practices, or the number of users exposed to or clicked on our websites or evaluated or purchased our products and services.
CORPORATE REORGANIZATIONS
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets, or other similar sale transactions, your information will be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any such transfer and any choices you may have regarding your information.

[A primary account holder can view personal information saved in sub-accounts to which they have authorized access. ]We share information about authorized users only for legitimate purposes consistent with this privacy policy, including servicing your account and marketing your products and services.
LEGAL PROCESS
Lastly, if legally required to do so, or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, we may disclose your personal information to courts of law, law enforcement authorities, and other relevant third parties, such as internet service providers, to conduct an investigation, respond to a third party or law enforcement subpoena or court order, bring legal action, prevent harm to others or pursue other relief when you or a third party are or may be:
- violating our terms and conditions of use;
- causing injury or other harm to, or otherwise violating the property or other legal rights of us, other users, or third parties; or
- violating federal, state, local, or other applicable laws.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

These services will authenticate your identity and allow you to share certain personal information with us, such as your name and email address, to pre-populate our sign-up/sign-in forms.
