We may disclose your Personal Information to third party service providers and contractors who perform services on our behalf.

We require any company with which we may share Personal Information to protect that data in a manner consistent with this policy and to limit the use of such Personal Information to the performance of services for us. The third party service providers have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them. We recommend that you read their privacy policies in order to understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled. Because certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third party service provider, then your information may become subject of the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
