Where we have your consent:

  • if another company buys our company, or if we go insolvent, or if we merge with another company, in which case the company that receives your information will protect the information in the same way we do.
    If we transfer our obligations under our terms of use to another company, this may mean that we need to transfer your personal data to that company.
