Information about our affiliates and customers is an important part of our business, and we occasionally sell such information to others. We also share customer information as described below and with subsidiaries of Auto Protection Authority that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
● Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as offer owners, these businesses operate independent online stores. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. We share customer information related to those transactions with that third-party.
● Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
● Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of affiliates and/or customers on behalf of other businesses.
● Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Auto Protection Authorityor substantially all of the company's assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
● Protection of Auto Protection Authority and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply this Privacy Policy and other policies and agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Auto Protection Authority, our users, our network, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
