We may on occasion share our records with our parent company or other affiliates for the limited purpose of internal auditing or statistical purposes. In providing our services, we may need to disclose the personal information we collect to other service providers or agents who perform various functions for us, such as processing or delivering orders, provided such suppliers agree to keep all personal information private, confidential and secure. We may also disclose your personal information to third parties who administer contests, promotions and on-line activities on our behalf.
In certain circumstances, we may provide personal information to third parties for legal or regulatory purposes, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
