3. Other Consent. We may disclose your user information to any other person with your consent, whether such consent is obtained at the time of collecting such information or after.

De-Identified and Aggregated Information. We may create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information derived from your user information, (the “De-Identified Data”). De-Identified Data is no longer reasonably capable of identifying you or your household.

Data Retention. We will retain your user information for as long as needed to provide you the services requested, unless you have revoked your consent or requested to delete certain user information; and we may retain certain user information for specific legitimate interests where we have an ongoing business need (for example, relating to core Site functionalities such as fraud-prevention, or to comply with applicable tax, legal or accounting requirements).

Security. We have put in place industry-standard procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data security, and to use correctly the information we collect online. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that 100% of data transmissions are secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are limitations to security and privacy of the Internet that are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any information exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
