We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Data to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention
