In some cases, a User’s personal data is stored with a third-party provider, such as an email service provider, which allows the Owner to keep Users updated on developments of importance to Users. The email service provider employed by the Website is an industry leader in quality and security. The third-party providers are strictly limited in how they use the User’s personal data.
However, in the event of illegal activity or other serious actions, or allegations of illegal activities or other serious actions, it may be necessary to share a User’s personal data. Not doing so could create legal liability for the Website, and the Owner reserves the right to share a User’s data with the relevant authorities.
