Disclosure of Personally Identifiable
Information
Unless you are using one of 10kInfo's coupons, 10kInfo does not currently share your personally identifiable information. The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business:
Advertisers
10kInfo may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. For example, 10kInfo may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose it to network advertisers in a non-personally identifiable manner as set forth in the section entitled "Network Advertisers," set forth below. 10kInfo does not disclose your information in a personally identifiable manner to such third party advertisers without your consent.
External Service Providers
There are a number of separate services offered by third parties, including, without limitation, 10kInfo's affiliates, that 10kInfo refers to as external service providers that may be complementary to your use of www.10Kinfo.com (e.g. credit card issuers, advertisers, information aggregators). If you choose to use these separate services, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. With your consent, 10kInfo may provide some of your personal information to the external service provider offering such services, for your convenience. To prevent 10kInfo's disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services.
Internal Service Providers.
10kInfo may use third parties that 10kInfo refers to as internal
service providers to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of
10kInfo's business, product and service operations that 10kInfo
provides to you (e.g., technology, Forums, newsletters/alerts,
analytical tools, advertising campaign management) and therefore
10kInfo may provide some of your personal information directly to
these internal service providers. These internal service providers
are subject to confidentiality agreements with 10kInfo or other
legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information
10kInfo provides them for any other purpose except to facilitate the
specific outsourced 10kInfo related operation, unless you have
explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for
additional uses. In some instances, the internal service provider
may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will
be notified of the involvement of the internal service provider, and
all additional information you provide them and their additional
uses will be strictly up to you. If you provide additional
information to an internal service provider directly, then their use
of your personally identifiable information is governed by their
applicable privacy policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 10kInfo
reserves the right (and you authorize 10kInfo) to share or disclose
your personally identifiable information when 10kInfo determines, in
its sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally
identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring
legal action against you if:
-
you are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or 10kInfo's Terms of Use;
-
you are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without limitation, 10kInfo's rights or property;
-
you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
-
necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
-
requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency. Personally identifiable information and other personal information collected from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a "Transfer") involving 10kInfo and/or its affiliates. 10kInfo specifically reserves the right to transfer personally identifiable information collected from www.10Kinfo.com, and any of its databases, together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with the ability of 10kInfo to transfer all or part of its business and/or assets (including www.10Kinfo.com) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever. In addition, due to the existing regulatory environment, 10kInfo cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), 10kInfo may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although 10kInfo uses industry standard practices to protect your privacy, 10kInfo does not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private. NOTE: If you are submitting personally identifiable information pursuant to coupon usage, 10kInfo reserves the right to share, loan, rent and/or sell the personally identifiable information that you submit with its affiliates and other third parties.
