3. Information Disclosure

We limit any sharing of information we have collected about you to certain narrow purposes. Your information may be shared for the following reasons only:

TO COMPLY WITH LAWS OR TO PROTECT RIGHTS OF USERS

If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to a legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation. This includes exchanging information with other entities for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

5. How We Keep Your Personal Information Safe

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
