We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may share information only in these limited situations:

  • Service providers: With companies that help us operate the Site and our business (for example, website hosting, form handling, email and newsletter delivery, spam protection, and analytics providers such as Google), only as needed for them to provide those services to us.
  • Legal reasons: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our clients or others.

7. How We Protect Information
