5. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
As a matter of policy, ANGEL AID CARES does not sell, rent or share any of your Personal Information, including your email address, to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that your Personal Information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide ANGEL AID CARES's services and products to customers:
- Internal Service Providers: ANGEL AID CARES may use third parties, referred to as internal service providers, to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the business, product and service operations provided to you. To do so, ANGEL AID CARES may provide some of your Personal Information, including your email address, directly to these internal service providers. These internal service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with ANGEL AID CARES and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the provided information for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced related operation for ANGEL AID CARES, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses. If you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then their use of your Personal Information is governed by their applicable privacy.
- Legal Requests: ANGEL AID CARES cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect you, other users, and ANGEL AID CARES from bad actors. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, ANGEL AID CARES can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email address, username history, and fraud complaints without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, ANGEL AID CARES will not otherwise disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or report suspected illegal activity.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, ANGEL AID CARES cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other Personal Information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), ANGEL AID CARES may be forced to disclose Personal Information, including your email address, to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your Personal Information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although ANGEL AID CARES uses industry standard practices to protect your privacy, ANGEL AID CARES cannot ensure that your Personal Information or private communications will always remain private.
