If you communicate with us through email or otherwise we may save a copy of the correspondences sent to us or by us.

We also get technical information when you use our site: Whenever you use an internet service nowadays there is certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. This is true for our site also. This information will be associated with your account only if you log in as a user. Some examples are:

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do share it in limited instances that include:

Sharing upon your request. For example, when you participate in a petition we will share your information to let your political representatives know that you support the petition.

Sharing with service providers we employ to process personal information on our behalf based on our instructions and in compliance with this policy. For example, we may share information with a third party we hire to handle emails.

Sharing when we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law; regulation, or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

Finally, we may engage in certain transactions that require us to transfer personal information, such as mergers, acquisitions, or dissolution.
