INFORMATION SHARING
Please note that we do not sell your information to third parties. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal information that you provide to us to third parties. Please note that we may disclose information to third parties (i) if they are our business partners or service providers, (ii) in the event of a business transfer, (iii) to protect our interests, or (iv) to comply with the law. We may disclose your information to our third-party service providers (e.g., payment processing services, identity verification services, collection agencies, etc.) that assist us in our work. We only provide the information that is reasonably necessary for the specific service provider to perform their functions. For example, all financial and billing information collected through the Site is used solely to invoice customers for their use of StorageOnly products and services. This billing information is not used by StorageOnly for marketing and/or promotional purposes. In order to improve our business, we may buy or sell a company, or one or more of the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another company. Information about our users may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets. In the event we transfer any of your information in connection with such a sale, we will notify you of the purchaser as required by law. We may disclose personal information if we believe that doing so is in our interest (i) to protect our property or legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements) or the rights or property of others, (ii) to help protect the safety or security of our Services and other users of our Services, or (iii) to investigate fraud. We will disclose personal information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, or to respond to a government request. We may also disclose your information if we have obtained your prior consent to do so.

We use this information to administer, operate, and improve the Site and our Services, to improve the effectiveness of advertising of our Services, and to provide advertisements and other content that is tailored to you.
