We limit the information we provide to these service providers to only the information that is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and the contracts we have entered into with these service providers require them to maintain the confidentiality of this information;
- Government authorities and law enforcement agencies when applicable laws require it. Specifically, we may disclose personal information and other information if we are required to do so under the laws or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws, in response to a court order or subpoena, or government search warrant, or otherwise to collaborate with such government authorities and law enforcement agencies;
