How We Share the Personal Information We Collect and Receive.

We may share Personal Information that we collect and receive with third parties when we have your consent or as described below:

  • Our affiliates. We may share Personal Information with current and future “affiliates”, a term that includes our parent and subsidiary companies, joint venture partners, or other companies we control, are controlled by, or with which we are under common control.
  • Our service providers. We may provide Personal Information about you to service providers that perform certain functions or services on our behalf. For example, we may rely on service providers to host our Services and data, fulfill orders, provide products and services, manage databases, perform analyses or advertising services, collect location data, provide location-based services, process credit card payments, provide customer service, or send communications for us.
  • Operational partners. We may, from time to time, partner with third parties to operate certain of our Services. From time to time, in accordance with applicable laws, we may provide Personal Information about you to these operational partners to use for their own purposes. While these operational partners may use information about you to operate the Services, you should presume that these operational partners may use your information for their own purposes in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
  • Business partners. When you consent to receive news and offers from them, we may share information about you with select business partners that are not service providers, such as our sponsors, retailers, and broadcast partners, so that they can provide you with special offers, promotional materials, and other materials and information that may be of interest to you. These other business partners are expected to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any information we share with them. However, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of our business partners, which may use your information for their own purposes.
  • Other parties in response to legal process or when necessary to protect us or our Services. We or our service providers may disclose your Personal Information -- including the contents of your communications -- to other parties when required or permitted by applicable law, such as when we have a good faith belief that:

          - Doing so is necessary to respond to lawful governmental requests or legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant, or subpoena);
          - The Personal Information is relevant to a crime that has been or is being committed;
          - An emergency exists that poses a threat to your safety or the safety of another person or persons; or
          - Doing so is necessary to protect our rights or property.
  • Other parties in connection with certain business transactions. In the event that the ownership of the Maguey Exchange (or any portion of our assets) changes as a result of a merger, acquisition, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, your information may be transferred to another entity. Should one of these events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before your Personal Information becomes subject to different privacy and security policies and practices.
  • Interactive features. We may share Personal Information with third parties when you post Personal Information to a public a public area of our Services. If you post Personal Information to these interactive features, it will be publicly available and you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. We cannot ensure that parties who have access to such Personal Information will respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when using these features.
  • Data that is Not Personal Information. We may create aggregated, de-identified or anonymized data from the Personal Information we collect, including by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to a particular user. We may use such aggregated, de-identified or anonymized data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze, build and improve the Services and promote our business, provided that we will not share such data in a manner that could identify you.
