We will disclose information in our database when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request.
We allow access to our databases by third parties that provide us with services such as technical maintenance or content management, but only for the purpose of providing those services. If you choose to purchase items through one of our sites, we may forward your information to third parties for services such as credit card processing and order fulfillment. There also are times when you provide information about yourself to us in areas of the site that are managed or participated in by third parties. In such cases, the information may be used by us and by such third parties, each pursuant to its own policies.
We also may provide your information (first and last name, company name, title and email) to our advertisers, so they can provide you with product information that may meet your needs or match your interests. While we will seek to require such third parties to follow appropriate privacy policies and will not authorize them to use this information except for the express purpose for which it is provided, Spa Executive and its parent company have no control over such third parties and therefore do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties.
