How, When, and to Whom do We Disclose Personal Data?
We’re committed to sharing information only when needed for a legitimate business or legal purpose, and only with recipients who will protect it. We will disclose it only in the situations described here:
When you ask us or allow us to share it.
When you ask us to share data between our Services and the vendors who facilitate those Services.
When we hire a service provider in the normal course of operating our business. We allow them to use information only to perform the service we’ve asked them to perform.
When we partner with other businesses to offer products and services to you, we may share information with those partners only as needed to provide those products and services and only subject to the terms of this privacy notice.
When we need to share data to satisfy a legal or regulatory requirement, including responding to a subpoena or other lawful government request for data, we will share information only as necessary to comply with that requirement. We’ll tell you before sharing your information in these situations unless we’re legally prohibited from doing so. We may also share information if needed to enforce our legal rights, detect or prevent fraud or security concerns, and protect public safety.

Public and deidentified data: We may share information that is collected from public sources or that you choose to share publicly (such as public reviews) with third parties. We may also share aggregated and/or deidentified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, such as for general website use analytics.
Sales of Personal Data: We allow certain companies to place tracking technologies like cookies and pixels on our sites, which allow those companies to receive information about your activity on our website that is associated with your browser or device. The companies may use that data to serve you more relevant ads on our sites or others. Under some state laws, sharing data for online advertising like this may be considered a “sale” of information. Except for this kind of sharing, we do not sell any of your information.
Your privacy choices
Third-Party Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising: We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We may permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about your use of our websites. Typically the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies which recognize the device you are using and collect information. We and our third-party partners may use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.

We may also send you information about additional or different services we might think may interest you. You can manage the types of email you receive by following the instructions included in each email we send you. Even if you unsubscribe from promotional email subscriptions, we may still need to email you with important transactional or other non-advertising information.
Calls and texts: Some of our Services allow you to provide your phone number to us. If you give us your number, we may call or text you, for example, to give you information on a sales inquiry, or to let you know about other products or services of interest. We will contact you through these methods only in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and you always have the ability to opt out of further calls or texts.
Protecting your Personal Data
We understand that no matter how we collect your information, we have a responsibility to protect it. We take that responsibility seriously. We build security into our products and features from the ground up to help protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We’re always looking for threats and take reasonable steps to respond to those threats, protecting the information users share with us. Of course, no method of Internet transmission or data storage can provide guaranteed protection to your information. If anything should ever happen to your information, we’ll let you know as soon as we can and try our best to make it right.
