With Vendors. We may share personal information with companies or individuals we hire to provide services or perform business functions on our behalf (such as print, mail, texting, or email vendors; web hosting vendors; and consultants) because these vendors need access to the personal information to perform the functions we have requested of them.

To Protect Ourselves or Others. We may share account or other information when we believe, in our sole discretion, it is necessary to protect our interests or property; to defend against legal claims or exercise our legal rights; to prevent fraud or other illegal activity; to prevent bodily harm; or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our Website.
In Connection with Business Transfers.
