c.    Vendors.  Vendors provide goods and services (for example, billing, consumer services support, consultancy, information technology hardware and software) to RCI and its affiliates in order to support, operate and develop the Properties and to deliver marketing communications on our behalf.  We do not share Information with vendors to use for their own direct marketing purposes or any other purpose without your consent, except those outlined above and to execute, deliver and/or improve the services they provide. We only provide our vendors with the information necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf.  Each vendor must agree to use reasonable security procedures and practices, appropriate to the nature of the information involved, in order to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.  vendors are prohibited from using Personal Information other than as specified by us. 

d.    Applicable Law, Regulation or Legal Process.  We will disclose your Information in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, including but not limited to disclosure to law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you, us, or our affiliates.  This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards.

e.    Establish or Defend Legal Rights.  We will disclose your Information where necessary for the purpose of exercising, establishing or defending our legal rights.  For example, we will review your communications and other Information in order to investigate allegations of hacking or any other breach or alleged breach of any applicable Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy and disclose your Personal Information, including communications, to our legal advisors, consultants and law enforcement or other government officials.

f.    Protect Vital Interests.  We disclose your Information with third parties where we believe this is necessary to protect the vital interests of any person.  For example, we disclose Information relating to an online account if we in good faith believe the user of that account is using it in ways that are harmful to others (e.g., making inappropriate contact with minors).

g.    Sale of Our Business or Assets.  Separately, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, customer information of RCI and its affiliates, including Information and communications, may be transferred to our successor or assign.

h.    Please note that any information, including Personal Information that you reveal in a bulletin board, message board, chat room or other public forum is publicly viewable.  When you post Personal Information publicly through the Properties, it may be viewable by other users of these sites and we cannot prevent further use of the Personal Information by third parties.

6.    Security.  RCI takes a range of security measures designed to protect your Personal Information and keep it confidential (unless it is non-confidential by nature, for example, publicly-available information).  We also take steps to ensure that the Personal Information collected is protected from misuse and alteration.  In addition, we request vendors who process Personal Information on our behalf to themselves take a range of security measures designed to help protect your Personal Information.  However, the Internet by its nature is not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving, as are the technical and organizational industry standards relating to management of those risks.  The complete security of any Personal Information collected, stored or used by us or our vendors cannot therefore be guaranteed, and you transmit your Personal Information through the Properties at your own risk.
