1. We share information with companies that help us process the transactions you request and protect our customers’ transactions from fraud, such as sharing your credit card number with a service that screens for lost and stolen card numbers. See “Information About You From Third Parties” in Section B above.

2. We disclose the information we collect, as described in Section B above, to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements so we can better match the products we offer to our customers’ needs.

4. We disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.

5. We share aggregated statistical data with our business partners or for public relations. For example, we may disclose that a specific percentage of our users live in Missouri. However, this aggregated information is not tied to personally identifiable information.

6. As with any other business, it is possible that Myself Belts in the future could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Myself Belts, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless or until it is amended.

7. We share your information with our parent, subsidiaries and joint ventures to help coordinate the services we provide to you, enforce our terms and conditions, and promote trust and safety.

Our Contacts with Myself Belts Customers
We communicate with users on a regular basis via email to provide requested services, and we also communicate by phone to resolve customer complaints or investigate suspicious transactions. We use your email address to confirm your Myself Belts purchase, to send information about important changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional. We also use your email address to send you other types of communications that you can control, including customer surveys and notice of special third-party promotions. You can choose not to receive these communications, on an individual basis, by simply .opting out. of a communication or by contacting Customer Service.  In connection with independent audits of our financial statements and operations, the auditors may seek to contact a sample of our customers to confirm that our records are accurate. However, these auditors cannot use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Internet Address Information
We use IP addresses, browser types and access times to analyze trends, administer the site, improve site performance and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
