Sharing and service providers
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us host the website, manage email delivery or maintain our systems. They may use information only to provide the agreed service and must protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information where required by law or necessary to protect people, rights or the security of the website.
