We may only share your personal information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf (for example, credit card companies, financial institutions, shipping companies, consultants and advisors, etc) when, in our judgment, we believe it is necessary or appropriate to prevent fraud, injury, or harm to persons or property, to protect our rights or the rights of others, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or as otherwise required by law. We limit the scope of the information provided to third parties, and we allow its use only for the purposes for which it was disclosed. We will never sell your information to a third-party entity for marketing, research, or any other purposes.
