In certain situations, we may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In addition, we may share Personal Information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Services agreements, or as otherwise required by law.
When we make any disclosure of Personal Information described by this section, we will limit the disclosure to only the minimum amount of information which is necessary and will attempt to ensure that any information we do disclose is kept protected by, for example, obtaining a protective order or by requiring the party to whom it is disclosed to agree to keep the information confidential.

We generally keep Personal Information associated with our Services during the period we are providing the related Services and for up to 1 year after our Services end. We will, however, hold it longer if needed to provide the Services to our customer, if we have a legal obligation to keep it for longer, or if we require it to resolve a legal dispute.
We may delete Business Contact Information when we determine that it is no longer useful to us, when required by law, or in accordance with our internal data retention practices and policies.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:
Contracted third parties may have access to your Personal Information. This access allows third parties to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
We value your trust in providing us with your Personal Information, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it and we maintain a security program designed to protect Personal Information in our possession, which includes organizational, physical and technical safeguards. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
