You may also provide payment information for paid listing services.

  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government investigation).   In Case of Business Transfer: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the Service of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.  
  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so.
