Sharing of Personal Information
Service Providers
As noted above Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster are third party tools. Third party tools used for our website may have access to your personal information. Cookies and similar technologies used by the website may be served by third parties.
We may share personal information with other service providers that perform functions on our behalf, which may include website hosting, IT security, customer relationship management, marketing, payment processing and other operations.
Fulfillment and Support
We reserve the right to use distributors, fulfillment providers, resellers, technical support and implementation contractors and other third parties in connection with providing our products and services. We may share personal information with such parties.
Corporate Changes
If we sell all or a part of our company or an affiliate, or we or any of our affiliates are part of a merger, amalgamation, restructuring, sale of shares or assets, liquidation, or other corporate change, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, provided that we do so in compliance with applicable law.

International Transfers

Safeguards
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving your personal information that creates a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the applicable regulator(s) as required by applicable law.
