Although we may publish aggregated information about usage patterns, we do not disclose information about individuals except for the reasons set out below.

We may gather more extensive information if we are concerned, for example, about security issues.

We do not sell information that identifies you personally.

3. Disclosure of Information

If attempts to obtain your permission to disclose information about you or your use of the Site and/or Services fail, we may still disclose this information without your prior permission if we believe that such action is necessary to:

2. protect our rights or property or those of our related companies;
3. enforce our Site Terms;
