Communication of Personal Information
The Company may disclose personal information to third parties when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the Company’s rights or property, other Company’s users or applicants, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. The Company may disclose personal information without the consent of the individual concerned when we believe in good faith that the law allows or requires it.
We may transfer your personal information to our affiliates and/or third party service providers that process this information on our behalf, including those that provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example). Our employees and those of our affiliates and/or service providers that require it for the purposes of their duties will have access to your personal information. Some of these parties may be located outside your jurisdiction and your personal information may become subject to applicable foreign legal requirements, for example lawful requirements to disclose personal information to government authorities in those countries.
In the event the Company goes through a business transaction such as a merger, an acquisition by another company, or a sale of all or a portion of its assets to which this Privacy Policy relates, personal information will likely be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and you agree that your personal information may be transferred to such parties in these circumstances.
We will not sell or disclose your personal information to third parties, except to the extent set out in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by law.
Passive Information Collection

The Company also uses this information and other non-identifying information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and may provide aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.
Security
We take reasonable steps using physical, electronic or procedural security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information in our custody or control. However, you should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.
