User Contributed Content

You should carefully consider before including any personally identifiable information within contributed content and note that such content is subject to the “Communication Services; User Contributions” section as stated in our Terms of Use.
Information Provided To Us Stays with Us
Unless as stated within this notice statement for our own business and marketing purposes, the information you provide via our website and applications will not be sold, transferred, or traded to any third party for the marketing of their goods or services without your consent. Some of our websites and applications give you the opportunity to “opt-in”, meaning you have to take a specific action to participate, for sharing your information with third parties; while others will give you the opportunity to “opt out” for sharing data with third parties, meaning that you have to take a specific action to prevent your participation. We will only share your data consistent with your “opt-in” or “opt out” choices and, if you “opt-in”, you can subsequently “opt-out” by contacting us as illustrated in this statement. However if you do not want your information shared with others, do not use our products or services.
As our privacy statement provides you with information on how you may “opt- in” or “opt-out” from our information sharing activities and marketing services, we do not maintain or disclose a list of parties which may have received your personal information. If you wish to request additional information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, please contact us.
In order to operate our website and provide services to you, we may provide personally identifiable, aggregate, and other information associated with our website to third parties that provide services on our behalf, including services such as shipping, payment processing, database management, and Internet services. We endeavor to require our service providers confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with this privacy statement. We may also share your information with our affiliates (such as a parent or sister company, or a subsidiary of our company) in furtherance of our operations, or those of our affiliates, as well as any requests that you may make (such as responding to advertisements or do-not-contact requests).
In the event of a merger or acquisition of our company, the sale of substantially all of its assets related to the operation of our website, or other change of corporate control or in any line of business sale, all information concerning you, and other registered website users, may be transferred to or controlled by the surviving or successor entity. In such a case, your information, and the use of such information, remains subject to the privacy statement as in effect from time to time.
We also will transfer information about you when we believe the transfer is necessary to comply with the law, to protect or enforce our rights and our safety, or to protect the rights and safety of anyone else. We may provide information about you with credit bureaus or collection agencies, if we are permitted or required to do so by law, in order to protect our rights.
We Work to Keep Information Secure
We have training and other policies and procedures in place to address the logical and physical security of our workplaces and the electronic information within our systems. Unfortunately, no security methodology is 100% safe and we cannot guarantee information security. Therefore it is also important for you to protect yourself against the unauthorized access to your information. Be sure to take simple steps, such as signing off and logging out after each use of a shared computer, keeping your passwords in a secure location, and not sharing your passwords with any third party.
