SHARING WITH RESELLERS AND PRIVATE LABEL PARTNERS

  • In certain circumstances, receive or (if technically feasible) ask us to provide your personal information to a third party, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, although we will not provide you with certain personal information if to so would interfere with another’s individual’s rights or where another exemption applies.
