If we propose to

this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, you may “opt-out” –
or say no to – having your information shared by calling
800.940.6025 or contacting us through our
contact page. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other
than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service

services, there may be some instances in which we may not be able to
provide those services to you.

of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any

investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or
otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect

merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets,
we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share
with third parties certain pieces of non-personal information, such as
the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example.
Such information does not identify you.
Information Security
We
take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of
data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage,
and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical
security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where
we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal
information to our employees, contractors, and agents who need to know
that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services.
These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be
subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution
if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data Integrity
We
process personal information only for the purposes for which it was
collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable
service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection,
storage, and processing practices to ensure that we only collect,
store, and process the personal information needed to provide or
improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the
personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but
we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information
whenever necessary.
