The terms 'you' and 'your' refer to (1) any individual about whom we have User Information ('Data Subjects') and (2) any individuals who provide to us User Information about Data Subjects ('Third-Party Data Providers').
For your convenience, Section 13 provides a full set of definitions used in this Privacy Policy.

We require that our Vendors agree contractually to comply with privacy laws, and agree to maintain protections for Personal Information that are consistent with this Policy.

Upon receipt of an "opt-in" request from a Data Subject, we will share Contact Information from that Data Subject with local businesses and others that provide goods and services that may be useful to our clients (collectively, "Local Providers"). Although these Local Providers generally have information privacy procedures in place, this Privacy Policy does not govern Local Providers' information privacy practices, and a Data Subject should inquire about the Local Provider's privacy policy to ensure it is acceptable before sharing sensitive information. We provide services to our customers whether or not they "opt-in" to information-sharing with Local Providers. Moreover, if a Data Subject later wishes to withdraw his or her opt-in decision, the Data Subject has the ability to 'opt-out' of this information-sharing, by following the directions provided in Section 8 (Opting Out).
7.4. Questions of Harm
We may reveal Personal Information about Data Subjects on a case-by-case basis to attorneys, private investigator organizations or law enforcement agencies if we believe (a) that the Data Subject is in risk of harm from another, or (b) that the Data Subject is harming or interfering (or will harm or interfere) with others, or is violating (either intentionally or unintentionally) our Website Terms of Use or are otherwise violating legal obligations.

8. Opting Out
Because we respect privacy rights, we give Data Subjects the following choices of how their Personal Information may be used:
8.1. Opting-Out of Updates.
If we choose to send to bulletins, updates, product offerings, or other communications to Data Subjects, we will provide them with the ability to decline - or 'opt-out of' - receiving such communications.

8.2. Opting-Out of Information-Sharing.
Data Subjects may choose to opt out of our information-sharing with our Affiliates and/or with our Local Providers. Making this decision will prevent us from sharing their Contact Information with our Affiliates or Local Providers, and this choice may limit our ability to offer them certain information, services and products provided by our Affiliates and Local Providers. To opt-out of our information-sharing with Affiliates and/or Local Providers, please contact us as provided in Section 14. Please understand that opting-out with respect to Local Provider information-sharing will apply to future information exchanges; a Data Subject must look to the Local Provider's privacy policy to determine his or her ability to "opt-out" with respect to information already on file with the Local Provider.
8.3. Opting-Out and Multiple Data Subjects.
For products and services that were ordered by a single Data Subject, but that apply to multiple Data Subjects or other individuals, we will treat an opt out by any Data Subject as applying to all Data Subjects (or others) covered by the products or service. (For example, if you are head of household and opt-out under this section, we will apply that opt-out decision to your family as well.)
9. Access; Removing Information
We provide Data Subjects with access rights to their User Information and provide them with the right, upon their request, to remove their information in accordance with our contracts with the law, as we reasonably interpret them. Please understand, however, that it may be impossible to remove this information completely, due to backups and records of deletions. Data Subjects may not remove de-identified, anonymous, or aggregate data from our databases.
10. Security
We have put in place security systems, physical safeguards, technical safeguards, and quality controls designed to prevent unauthorized access to, or disclosure of Personal Information. Our security systems are structured to deter and prevent unauthorized users and others from accessing Information we receive about Data Subjects.
