We process the information collected through such technologies, which may include or be combined with Personal Information, to help operate certain features of the Service, to enhance your experience through personalization, and to help us better understand the features of the Service that you and other users are most interested in.
Most browsers provide you with the ability to block, delete, or disable cookies, and your mobile device may allow you to disable the transmission of unique identifiers and location data. If you choose to reject cookies or block device identifiers, some features of the Service may not be available or some functionality may be limited or unavailable.

Some of our service providers may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of the Service and may combine the information in these cookies with any Personal Information about you that they may have. The use of such tracking information by a third party depends on the privacy policy of that third party. We do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals sent to us by your browser at this time. To learn more about how DNT works, please visit http://allaboutdnt.com/.

We may use De-identified Information for any purpose.
- Disclosure of Personal Information
We will not disclose Personal Information except as set forth in this Policy or with your consent. Specifically, we do not sell Personal Information. This section describes to whom we disclose Personal Information and for what purposes:
- Our Service Providers and Analytics Providers. We employ service providers to perform tasks on our behalf and to assist us in operating the Service or providing our products and services. For example, we engage third parties to provide analytics services, infrastructure hosting, enable video communication between users, communicate with you, customer service, and payment processing. We take commercially reasonable steps to help ensure our service providers provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Information as we do.
- Companies Involved in Mergers and Acquisitions Transactions. If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of our business or assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation), any information collected through the Service, including Personal Information, may be among the items sold or transferred.
- Vital Interests, Law Enforcement, Government Agencies, and Courts. We may disclose the information that we collect where we believe that it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of any person, or to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, or as may be required by applicable law.

We may attempt to notify members about legal demands for their Personal Information when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.
- Other ways in which you specifically consent. We may share the information that we collect in other ways that you specifically consent.
- How We Protect the Confidentiality of Personal Information
We protect the confidentiality and security of information we obtain in the course of business.

We will only retain your Personal Information for so long as we reasonably need to use it for the purposes set forth herein unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Despite these efforts to store Personal Information in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information during its transmission or its storage on our systems. Further, while we attempt to ensure the integrity and security of Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third parties such as hackers from illegally obtaining access to Personal Information. We do not represent or warrant that Personal Information about you will be protected against, loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we collect, store, transfer, and process Personal Information in accordance with applicable data protection law, including where it is necessary to provide our Website and Services, to perform the services, or to perform obligations under contract. Personal Information shared with us may be transferred and processed outside of the European Economic Area and the UK (together, “Europe”). We will protect your Personal Data in accordance with this Policy wherever it is processed.
We endeavor to ensure that the parties with whom we provide Personal Information hold it subject to appropriate safeguards and controls. Whenever we transfer your Personal Information out of Europe, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: (a) we may transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission; or (b) where we use service providers outside Europe, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, which give Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe.
