These third parties must at all times provide the same levels of security for your personal information as us and, where required, are bound by a legal agreement to keep your personal information private and secure.
- We may also supply your personal information to government bodies and law enforcement agencies but only: if we are required to do so by the requirements of any applicable law; if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process; to respond to any claims or actions; or to protect our rights or those of our customers and the public.
