This information helps us, among other things, evaluate how you use and navigate our web sites.

We may use information in the following ways:
  • For the purposes for which you specifically provided the information including, for example, to process, validate and verify your registration.
  • To send you notifications about your accounts or activity with us and to otherwise contact you with information that we believe will be of interest to you.

These other companies may be supplied with or have access to your personally identifiable information solely for the purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf.

We may disclose and use personally identifiable information in special circumstances where it is necessary to enforce our Terms of Service and other rights (for example, when necessary to protect our intellectual property rights) or when we, in our sole discretion, believe it is necessary or appropriate in connection with or as the result of a change in ownership of all or a portion of the Services as the result of a merger, acquisition or transfer to another company.
