We may ask for similar information when you contact us offline, for example for customer service.

- We may share and disclose your personal information to other third parties in the following circumstances:
- (i) To vendors and other third-party service providers who require access to your personal information to assist in the provision of the online services, our products and services, and other business-related functions. For example, we partner with one or more credit card processing companies to assist us in processing your payment. We partner with third parties that offer credit checks services that review credit worthiness of certain users to manage our risk and help us to avoid sending out orders to users that cannot afford to pay. We may also work with third party service providers to assist us providing targeted email campaigns, assemble and prepare personalized offers and/or make particular product or purchase recommendations. However, those companies do not retain, disclose, store, or use personal information for any secondary purposes.
- We may also disclose your personal information to third parties: a. where required by law or regulatory requirement, court order or other judicial authorization, b. in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including for the purposes of meeting national security and law enforcement requirements; c. in connection with the sale, transfer, merger, bankruptcy, restructuring or other reorganization of a business; d. to protect or defend our rights, interests or property, or that of third parties; e. to investigate any wrongdoing in connection with the online services or our services; f. to protect the vital interests of an individual.
- To an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice.
- Deidentified & Aggregated Personal Information: We continually strive to make customer shopping experiences more relevant and with less friction and may offer related services and insights to our suppliers and others. As a result, we may disclose to others insights that combine information from many customers in ways that do not directly identify you. For example, we may combine your shopping history with that of other customers to deliver generalized insights to our suppliers. These insights do not identify individual customers. This information helps our suppliers provide products and services relevant to our customers. We may receive payment for these insights.
- To deliver information about products and services that may be of interest to you, we may disclose information with other companies, such as publishers, advertisers and measurement analytics providers. For example, we may disclose device-related data (such as device identifier, type of device, IP address, cookies and other information associated with your browsing and app usage) and individual preferences and characteristics (such as insights and inferences related to shopping patterns and behaviors). This information does not identify you directly, but is necessary to personalize the advertisements you receive. We do not receive payment for this information. For more information about your choices related to advertising activities see “Cookies and Similar Tracking Technology”.
- To any other person with your consent.
