WHOM WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH


In order to provide our services, we may need to provide your information to our trusted third-party partners, for example:

  • Our fulfillment partners in order to ensure we can process and complete your order;

  • Our professional services partners in order to comply with our legal obligations. We may also share your information when required by law, such as when we respond to injunctions, court orders, or legal processes; or we believe that your actions violate applicable laws, our Terms of Use, or any usage guidelines for specific products or services, or threaten the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others;

  • It is possible we could sell our business to a third party or re-organize our business or become insolvent. In that scenario, our database of customers is one of the biggest parts of that business and so we would need to share it with the third-party buyer and their advisers. This is in the legitimate interests of selling our business. We may also expand our group of companies and in this scenario, we may share your data within our group in order to improve our products and services, and because some of our internal support services may be shared across the group. This is in our legitimate interests of cost efficiency and growing our business. Where this occurs, we will post a link to all group companies and their locations in this Privacy Policy and they will use it in the ways set out in this Policy;

  • We will cooperate with all third parties to enforce their intellectual property or other rights. We will also cooperate with law enforcement requests from within or outside your country of residence;

  • From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to take part in competitions or surveys on our Services. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information from you. Participation in these surveys or competitions is completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Your personally identifiable information may be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery confirmation, or other related purposes. We may decide to use a third-party service provider to conduct these competitions or surveys. Any such company will be prohibited from using our users' Personal Information for any other purpose unless you give your consent. The name of any such company will be visible on any page where you are invited to part with your information or views. We will never share the personally identifiable information you provide through a competition or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice. In those cases where we are not the operator or host of the competition or sweepstake, we have no control over the information collected and accordingly urge you to review the advertiser's or sponsor's privacy policy applicable to the competition or sweepstakes before participating.

​

From time to time, we may need to transfer your data to trusted third-party partners in countries outside of the EU in order to complete the activities listed above. In such an event, we will ensure that those third-party partners comply with all relevant data protection legislation in force in the EU from time to time.

​

We shall not sell, share, hire or otherwise deal in any of your personal information or Registration Information with third parties unless you give us specific permission to do so when you register or through a subsequent affirmative confirmation on the Services.
