We work with various business associates, vendors, and contractors. Thanks to these partnerships, we are better able to meet customer demands. These partnerships include our web hosting service, IT contractors, and others.
We may also contract out with providers to monitor our site or provide services directly to our customers. In order to do this, we may give these third parties your information.
Likewise, if we ever buy or sell our business assets, we will provide your information to that party if they need it to continue offering you service. Finally, we will share information if we are legally obligated to do so. This includes sharing data as a means to protect ourselves and others from risk and liability.
We may store data in the USA, Canada, or Europe. This data may also be transmitted between these locations and others. Please feel free to contact customer support for information on our methods of transmitting data and ensuring it is secured.
Our data retention policy depends on the type of data and how that information is used. As a general rule, we store your information until we do not need it any further and are not legally obligated to keep it.
