We also obtain information about you from other companies, such as credit, demographic and interest information.
How does we use information?

Contact us with any questions or concerns related to privacy.
Other disclosures: We may share your personal data with your consent or to comply with laws or other legal processes.

However, subject to your privacy choices, we may share your data (Identifiers, Internet or Network Activity Data, and Geo-location Information sections of the above chart) to social media platforms, analytics providers, and advertising companies, and this may be treated as a “sale” under certain laws. See the How Can You Control Your Data section of this Policy for more detail on your privacy choices.
Data Retention: We keep your data for as long as we need to in order to provide you Services and to comply with our business and legal obligations. To work out how long we need to keep your data, we consider the amount of data, the type of data, the risks that unintended use or disclosure could bring, and whether we can do what we need to by using less data, and other legal reasons. When we no longer need your data for our stated purposes, we securely delete it.

We do not knowingly collect data about children under the age of 16 or minors otherwise defined in local law or regulation without verifiable parental consent.

Our other brands may use this data to provide Services you ask for, to suggest our other Services, and show you adverts based on your interests (that we have learned from all the data we collected).
We might also share your data with third parties when:
Buying and selling assets: Sometimes we may need to share your data with a party that wants to buy our company or an asset that we own, or when we buy the assets of others. Before we do this we will make sure we appropriately safeguard your data.
Client businesses: When we collect data on behalf of our clients, we will share your data with them.

Legal requirement: We may share your data with others, if we believe the law says we have to do it, or if the government asks for it. We also need to protect our rights and the rights of our clients, so we might also share your data to get advice from lawyers and experts.

Other people and messages: When you agree, some Services might share your data with other companies that want to send you messages about their services. They might contact you by email, phone, mail, or other ways. Please note that they have their own privacy rules too.

When this happens, we use legal controls to help ensure your data is treated in keeping with the rules of the country it was collected. However, your data may also be subject to the local laws of the country in which we are using it. This may mean that courts, the police, or other agencies may be able to access it, if their law permits.
Please note: we only share sensitive data when providing you with Services and for other purposes permitted by law.
