How we use data
We use personal data to:

Sharing and disclosures
We may share data with trusted service providers who process data on our behalf (for example, hosting, email delivery, and security services). They are permitted to process data only to provide services to us and must protect it.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate fraud or security issues.
