User and Device Profiles .

You understand and agree that we are not required to provide You with advance notice and do not require your consent to make such disclosure. These instances include:

• Disclosure to Unaffiliated Third Parties . We (or our service providers) may disclose information (including but not limited to Personal Information) to prevent an emergency, to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of a third party, or as required by law (including but not limited to complying with a subpoena or court order).

For example, we use a third-party to process payments made to us, and may subcontract manufacturing, fulfillment, or other operations.

We will also retain and use information (which may include Personal Information) as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect or enforce our rights, or protect or enforce the rights of a third party.

​

What Is Our Role As Data Processor?

In our provision of Products, we will be acting as a conduit, processor and/or storage host for Personal Information provided to us. Our Products are standardized offerings that are not designed for specific industries. If You are providing us with information about Your Users (" Your Controlled Data"), then You are the data controller of Your Controlled Data under applicable privacy and data protection laws.

This includes obtaining and complying with any required filings, registrations, licenses, approvals or consents. We may direct any regulator, enforcement body or other interested persons to You for information regarding how Your Controlled Data is handled and sector-specific obligations, and as part of that we may provide Your contact information to the third party requestor.
