Our Disclosure of Your
Information. |

| |
|
|
As a matter of policy, we
do not sell or rent any of your
personal information to third parties for their marketing
purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following
describes some of the ways that your personal information may be
disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our
services. |
| |
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
We may use third parties that we refer to as internal service
providers to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the
business, product and service operations that we provide to you
(e.g., search technology, discussion boards, bill collection,
affiliate and rewards programs, co-branded credit cards) and
therefore we may provide some of your personal information
directly to these internal service providers. These internal
service providers' are subject to confidentiality agreements
with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of
the information we provide them for any other purpose except to
facilitate the specific outsourced Quantium Group related
operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior
permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the
internal service provider may collect information directly from
you (such as for Quantium Group surveys or for a co-branded
credit card). In these cases, you will be notified of the
involvement of the internal service provider, and all additional
information you provide them and their additional uses will be
strictly up to you. If you provide additional information to an
internal service provider directly, then their use of your
personal information is governed by their applicable privacy
policy |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Quantium Group cooperates with law
enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce
laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other
rights, to help protect you from bad actors. Therefore, in
response to a verified request by law enforcement or other
government officials relating to a criminal investigation or
alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to)
disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email
address, company name and site history without a subpoena.
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy
and our ability to keep the Site free from bad actors, we will
not otherwise disclose your personal information to law
enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena,
court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except
when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information
is necessary to: prevent imminent physical harm or financial
loss; or report suspected illegal activity.

Due to the existing regulatory
environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personal information will never be
disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we
may be forced to disclose personal information to the government
or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may
unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private
communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal
information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although
we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we
do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal
information or private communications will always remain private |

the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To
the extent that you disclose your information to other parties,
on our site or other sites throughout the Internet, different
rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information
you disclose to them. Since Quantium Group does not control the
privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the
privacy policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask
questions before you disclose your personal information to
others. |
