If an acquirer that has assumed all or part of our business changes how they use or share your personal information, then they will disclose such changes before implementing these changes.

How Long Will We Keep Your Information?

Not forever, but for as long as we have a valid reason to keep it, and per your instructions. When retaining your personal information, we think about what type of information it is, the amount collected, how sensitive it might be, and any legal requirements.

You may provide information to be posted on public areas of the Site as the reviews (collectively, "User Contributions"). Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect.
