A. Non-Personally Identifiable and Aggregated Information
We may share non-personally identifiable information (non-PII) with third parties, such as advertisers or business partners, to customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the Website. This includes anonymous clickstream data, aggregated demographic information, or metrics like the number of page views. These third parties are prohibited from sharing your non-PII with any further third parties or using it for other purposes.

We may also use statistical analysis of user behavior to measure interest in and use of various areas of the Website, and share only aggregated data from these analyses with third parties, such as advertisers.

Aggregated data does not contain any personally identifiable information (PII), and we do not link this data with PII.

B. Personally Identifiable Information
We may share your personally identifiable information (PII) with third parties only under specific circumstances.

• Third-Party Registration-Based Services: Occasionally, third parties may offer registration-based services through the Website. If you provide your PII to these third parties, you are subject to their privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their actions or policies. We recommend reviewing any third-party privacy policies before providing your PII.

• Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers (e.g., technology consultants, CRM vendors) to support our Website and services. These providers may have access to your PII in the course of providing their services, but they are contractually obligated to handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

• Internal Access: Only employees, agents, and contractors who have a legitimate business reason to access your PII will be given access to it. These individuals help manage and deliver the Services (e.g., message board administration, data processing, order fulfillment), and third-party contractors may only use your PII to provide specific services to us, such as administering contests or promotions.

• Third-Party Transactions: If you participate in transactions or services handled by third-party vendors (such as PayPal), your PII may be shared with these providers. They are required to protect your information according to industry-standard encryption protocols (e.g., SSL) and cannot use your PII for any other purposes.

If we intend to share your PII with third parties for purposes not covered here (outside of service providers), you will be given an opportunity to opt-out prior to such sharing.

C. Agents and Service Providers
We may use third-party companies, such as credit card processors, to handle billing for products and services. These companies do not retain, share, or use PII for any purpose other than to process the transactions.
Other third parties may provide additional services like community/social networking environments. When you sign up for these services, we will share only the PII necessary for the third party to provide those services. These third parties are contractually prohibited from using your PII for any other purpose.

D. Law Enforcement and Legal Disclosures
We reserve the right to disclose your PII in response to legal requests, such as subpoenas, court orders, or when required by law. We may also disclose your information if we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, the rights of our affiliated companies, our users, or the public. If our business undergoes a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, your PII may be transferred as part of that transaction.

E. Co-Branded Areas
Certain areas of the Website may be operated in partnership with third parties (“Co-Branded Areas”). These Co-Branded Areas may require registration and the sharing of your PII with both us and the third-party associates. If you register for products or services in these areas, your information will be subject to both our privacy policies and those of the third party. We encourage you to review these policies before registering in Co-Branded Areas.

F. Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions
We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (“Promotions”) on the Website. Participation in these Promotions typically requires registration and may involve the disclosure of your PII. By participating, you agree to the terms of the Promotion, which may include allowing the use of your name, likeness, or voice for advertising or marketing purposes. Additionally, your PII may be shared with third parties or publicly disclosed as part of the administration of the Promotion, including winner selection and prize fulfillment.

G. Your Created Content, Social Networking, and Public Information
The Website may allow you to submit various types of content, such as writings, videos, audio, graphics, photographs, information, and other materials, including personally identifiable information (collectively, “Your Created Content”). This content may be published online or offline in any media format (whether currently existing or developed in the future). Once Your Created Content is shared, others may have access to it and may share it with third parties.

Additionally, you may have opportunities to engage in social networking activities on the Website, such as creating a public profile, sharing Your Created Content, and inviting others to connect with you. Please note that we do not control who can access the information you choose to make public. As such, we cannot guarantee that these parties will respect your privacy or keep the information secure. This Policy does not apply to information that you choose to disclose publicly or share with others on the Website. We are not responsible for the accuracy, use, or misuse of any content or information that you disclose or receive through the Website.

H. Name and Likeness
We may use and publish your name, voice, likeness, and other PII that is part of Your Created Content (or portions thereof). This may include using such content for advertising, marketing, publicity, and promotional activities. For further details on the use of Your Created Content, please refer to the Website’s Terms of Use.

I. Storage and Transfer of Information
The Website is operated and intended for users located within the United States. If you are using the Website from outside the United States, including countries in the European Union or Canada, please note that any information we collect, including PII, will be transferred, processed, and stored within the United States. The data protection laws of the United States may differ from those of your home country, and your PII may be subject to requests for access from governments, courts, or law enforcement authorities under U.S. law.
