described in this policy, We may (and you authorize us to) share or disclose
Personally Identifiable Information about you to other companies or individuals

for any reason except to carry out the purpose(s) for which we hired them.
("Service Provider Exception")
You have entered a promo or a contest
sponsored by a third party, in which case the information you provide via the
promo/contest may be shared by us with that third party for their use in their
discretion, including direct marketing. Some of our promos and contests will
ask you at the time of entry whether you would like to have your personal
information shared with the sponsor, in which case we will honor your
selection. Other contests will not give you that option and in that event, if
you do not want your information to be shared, you should not enter the
contest. The privacy policies of such third party companies apply to their use
and disclosure of your information that we collect and disclose to such third
party companies.
The entity to whom the information is
disclosed is our affiliate.
In accordance with your indicated
preferences (e.g., you indicated you wanted to receive promotional materials
directly from a third party partner).
The entity is a third party who wants to
promote goods and services we think would be of interest to you.
You have furnished us Personally
Identifiable Information with the intent that it be forwarded to a third party
for use in connection with a specified service you are electing to participate
in (examples include, without limitation, e-commerce partners, online contest
partners, services to help old friends locate you online, etc.)
We may be legally required to disclose your
Personally Identifiable Information, if such disclosure is (a) required
subpoena, law, or other legal process; (b) necessary to assist law enforcement
officials or government enforcement agencies; (c) necessary to investigate
violations of or otherwise enforce our Legal Terms; (d) necessary to protect us
from any legal action or claims from third parties including you and/or other
Members; and/or (e) we have reason to believe that it is necessary for
protection from someone who may be causing injury to someone or interfering
with our rights or the rights of our users, employees, our affiliates, and the
general public, or using our services in violation of a legal or personal
right, including our Terms of Use (collectively, "Legal Exceptions").
In connection with a sale, merger,
transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether assets, stock, or otherwise,
including via bankruptcy) of all or a portion of the business conducted by our
site to which this policy applies, in which case the company will possess the
Personally Identifiable Information collected by us and will assume the rights
and obligations regarding your Personally Identifiable Information as described
in this Privacy Policy (collectively, "Acquisition Exception").
Social Networks. If you use your login
credentials from a social networking site (e.g. Facebook or Twitter)
(collectively, "SNS") on our Site, we may receive information from
such SNS in accordance with the terms and conditions (e.g., terms of use and
privacy policy) of the SNS ("SNS Terms"). If you elect to share your
information with these SNS, we will share information with them in accordance
with your election. The SNS Terms of the SNS will apply to the information we
disclose to them.
Third Party Partners. Our site may from
time to time partner with a retailer or other third party to offer online
shopping opportunities, games, services, subscriptions, and other applications
on a co-branded or cross-promotional basis. Those transactions may take place
on our Site, or the site of the third party. In either case, Personally
Identifiable Information you provide in connection with the transaction may be
collected directly by, or shared by our Site with, the third party, as well as
with any participating sponsor or advertisers of such opportunities and
features. Our site may offer you the ability to access a third-party site with
whom we have a relationship to access both sites through a co-branded
registration process; in that event, your applicable registration information
may be collected directly by, or shared by our Site with, the third party
partner. These third parties will use your information in accordance with their
own privacy policy.
Delivery of Advertising and Other Content.
In addition to ads and content that we serve you directly, we use third party
advertising companies and marketing services companies to serve ads and other
content when you visit our Site. Both we and these companies may use
information about your visits to this site and elsewhere to serve ads and other
content to you. In the course of doing so, a unique third-party Cookie may be
placed or recognized on your browser by such companies.

Despite your indicated preferences, we may send you service related communications, including notices about your subscription, and we may continue disclosing your information to third parties under the Service Provide Exception, Legal Exception, and Acquisition Exception described above.
6. PROTECTION OF CUSTOMER DATA
We respect your privacy. We take paramount
care in protecting your Customer Data. As such, we secure and protect your
Customer Data with proper safeguards to ensure confidentiality and privacy;
prevent loss, theft, or use for unauthorized purposes; and comply with the
requirements of the law.
As communications over the internet may not
be secure, we make reasonable and appropriate security arrangements and
measures that use a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards
to protect Customer Data. For example, we protect and keep your information
submitted through our website safe using a secured server behind a firewall,
encryption, and other appropriate security controls. When you enter your
information through our website, we encrypt that information using Secure
Sockets Layer technology (SSL) so that it cannot be read as the information
travels over the internet. We regularly review our information collection,
storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to
guard against unauthorized access to our system and unauthorized alteration,
disclosure, or destruction of information we hold.
We only permit your Customer Data to be
accessed or processed by our authorized personnel who hold such information
under strict confidentiality. We restrict access to information to our
employees, contractors, and agents who need to know such information in order
to process it for us, who are subject to strict contractual and technical
safeguards and are accountable if they fail to meet these.
Furthermore, we only give you or your
authorized representative access to your Personal Information. We do not sell
your Personal Information to anyone for any purpose. We also do not use nor
share your Personal Information with content and/or information providers
without your prior request or consent. Personal Information will only be
disclosed to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We keep our records as accurate as
possible. If your Personal Information is wrong, we give you ways to update it.
Once you have registered as our customer, you may access your account details
and correct your Personal Information by visiting our website.
We keep your Personal Information in our
business records, as may be applicable, while you are a customer, or as long as
it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or while it
is needed by us for business, tax, or legal purposes. When disposing of your
Personal Information, we take reasonable measures to ensure that it is done
properly and is not accessible to the public.
We are not responsible for information, content, application, product or service that we do not provide. But because we care for you and protect you, we take measures to fight spam, fraud or any unauthorized transaction that traverse our network.
