Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties.  The restrictions against transfer do not apply to trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties have agreed to keep this personally identifiable information confidential.  We may also release your personally identifiable information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our website policies, or protect ours or other’s rights, property or safety.  However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.  Where relevant, we will ensure that contractual safeguards are implemented with any third-party data processors or transferees to ensure the protection of your personally identifiable information.
