When you make purchases on or through the Website, your credit card information and other financial data that we need to process your payment are collected and stored by third party payment processors, and we may collect some limited information, such as your postal code and details of your transaction history. These third parties generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and last four digits.

Notwithstanding the duration of the purposes, we may retain your Personal Information if necessary to comply with our legal or professional obligations, enforce our agreements or resolve disputes.
5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We do not knowingly sell, trade or otherwise share your Personal Information with any third parties without your consent except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, as required by law, and when we reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or to protect the safety of any person.
Information collected on the Website may be shared with:
The Edgeworth Corporate Family
We may share information collected from you with the Edgeworth corporate family and their and our affiliates and subsidiaries. The information may be disclosed (i) to provide joint content and our services; (ii) to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts, violations of our policies, fraud and/or data security breaches; and (iii) to guide decisions about our products, Websites, services, tools, and communications. Members of our corporate family may use this information to send you marketing communications and you will have the opportunity to opt-out in email communications.
Special Partners
We may share information collected from you in collaboration with companies that assist us with business analytics, data processing, customer and user management, and other services (“Partners”). We instruct our Partners to use your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to provide the services we have requested. Although we take reasonable steps to ensure that Partners receiving your information are bound by privacy restrictions as restrictive as those set forth in this Privacy Policy, we are not responsible for any issues that may arise regarding the privacy policies or practices of any of Partners. By using the Website, you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any claims and/or damages that may arise from the actions of any of our Partners.
We may also disclose your Personal Information and/or payment information to the vendors and service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing our services to you. For example, we may provide your Personal Information to a credit card processing company to process your payment.
Other Entities with your Consent
We may disclose your information to other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your Personal Information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service). On the Website, you may have opportunities to express interest in or register for other services. If you do, we will provide your Personal Information to those third parties, or parties working on their behalf, to implement your request. When you interact with our Website through social media sites, plug-ins or other applications, depending upon your privacy settings, this information may become public on the Internet. We cannot prevent further use of this information. You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social media sites. Please refer to those third-party sites’ privacy policies and terms of use to learn more about their privacy practices, which we do not control.
Legal Obligations
We may disclose your Personal Information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with such legal process, or to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. We will use reasonable endeavors to notify you before doing so, unless we are legally restricted from so doing.
Change of Control: New Owners
Edgeworth may in the future reorganize or transfer all or part of its businesses, which may result in the transfer of your Personal Information to new entities (which will be subsidiaries or affiliates of Edgeworth) or third parties through which the whole or a part of the Edgeworth businesses will be carried out. If Edgeworth becomes insolvent, enters into receivership or any similar or equivalent event occurs, those acting on behalf of Edgeworth may sell the business or parts of it to a third party, in fulfillment of legal or business requirements. This may result in the transfer of your Personal Information to a third party through which the business or parts of it will be carried out.
