Disclosing Personal Information
We may provide your personal information to the following third parties:

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses in transactions such as mergers, reorganizations, acquisitions, or the purchase of all or a portion of business assets. We or our assets may also be purchased in these types of transactions. Personal information is often transferred as part of these transactions.
We may be required to disclose personal information if we are compelled to do so by a court of law or requested to do so by a governmental entity, regulatory authority or stock exchange, or if we determine it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our rights or property in accordance with applicable laws.

This Site is not intended for or directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without parental consent. If we become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided us with personal information, we will delete the information from our records.
Third Party Websites
Our Site may link to third party websites which are not operated by us. We do not monitor or control those third parties or their data collection practices, which may differ from the practices described in this Privacy Policy. When you use a link to go from our Site to another website or you interact with another website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies to personal information collected or used by that website or third party. You should check the relevant privacy policy and/or cookie notice of the third party for more information about how that third party collects and uses personal information.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, interference, destruction, alteration, and disclosure. For example, we have implemented data protections policies, information about you is stored on secured information systems, and physical access to our information systems is limited to authorized individuals.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.
How Long We Store Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, after which it is deleted from our systems.
