To whom can we disclose data?
Data about our customers is a very important part of our business. Therefore, we share data only as described below and only with companies that follow practices that have protection benefits that are, at a minimum, similar to those practices described in this Privacy Policy:
Other parties: To provide our Services, we may cooperate with other companies affiliated with us or service providers that are not affiliated with us (for example: logistics companies used to deliver products to you, marketing companies, payment processing companies to conduct online transactions, etc.). In order to process your transactions, these other companies may store data in a digital wallet so that your use of our services is more effective.
You understand how important it is for these companies to have access to relevant data to perform their tasks. We ensure that these companies do not use the data for other purposes. We may also receive data from these companies (for example: delivery data and updated addresses), for the purpose of using it (for example: to correct our records and deliver goods for any purchase you make).

Protecting our Site and Other Sites: We disclose customer accounts and other personal data when we believe such disclosure is appropriate to comply with laws, and law enforcement investigations, and to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others. This includes exchanging data with other companies and institutions for several reasons, including fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
