We do not sell or share your personal information.

5. Third-party sharing

We may share personal information with trusted service providers who support the operation of our Site and business (for example, hosting and analytics providers), and where required by law or to protect our legal rights. We require these parties to protect your information and to use it only for the purposes we specify.
