Disclosure of Your Information
Information about our customers is an important policy of our business. Thus, we share our customers’ personal information only as described in this section.

The Company employes other companies and individuals to perform functions on the Company’s behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders for products or services, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and lings 9including paid listings and links), processing payments, transmitting content, scoring assessing and managing credit risk, and providing customer service.

- If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- Since we operate globally, it may be necessary to transfer, store and process personal information in the United States or any other county in which we or our service providers maintain facilities. In these instances, we will take steps to ensure that a similar level of protection is given to personal information as comprehensive as those in the United States and European Union.

Data Retention
We only retain the personal information we collect from you for as long as your account is active or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to fulfill the purpose for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law. Sometimes we may retain your information for longer periods as permitted or required by law, such as to maintain lists, prevent abuse, if required in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce our agreements, for tax, accounting, or to comply with other legal obligations. When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete or anonymize your information from our active databases.
