Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
We do not sell, share, or otherwise disclose your personal data, but in the following circumstances, we may share your personal data with the following third parties:
  • Public authorities and third parties when the law or a government order requires us to do so or when we need to protect our rights or users’ rights, or prevent crime.
