  • Service providers: With trusted vendors who help us operate the Website, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security providers, under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
  • Advertising and analytics partners: As described in Sections 5 and 6, which some laws may treat as a “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising purposes.

  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred to the new owner.
