Without limiting the foregoing (and to the extent permitted by applicable law), Cut+Dry will share Personal Data with third parties with your consent as well as in the following circumstances:

Those affiliates may use this information to improve and promote their businesses and services and offer you products and services that may of interest to you and for any other purposes outlined above.

Service Providers and Partners. Cut+Dry may (a) connect you with, and coordinate the provision of services and products to you through, third party service providers and (b) partner with third parties in order to promote, support, enable or expand Cut+Dry’s business and products and services or enable those third parties to deliver content or advertise the products and services of Cut+Dry. Such service providers and partners include institutions and payments processors, government entities, IT cloud and hosting providers and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfillment. We may share Personal Data with those service providers and partners and they may have access to or process your Personal Data. For example, Cut+Dry may use third-party providers to assist us with delivering, marketing and advertising products and services to you, processing payments and completing orders, and delivering customer service and support.

Joint Marketing and Interest Based Advertising. From time to time Cut+Dry may establish joint marketing relationships with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and have privacy practices that are consistent with ours. In such cases and where permitted by applicable law we may exchange, share and/or cross-reference information, including information about you that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Cut+Dry may work with third party ad networks, ad exchanges, channel partners, measurement services and others (“3rd Party Advertisers”) to display more relevant advertising on our Services, and to manage our advertising on third party sites, mobile apps and online services. In order to display more relevant ads on our behalf and others, these 3rd Party Advertisers may use cookies, pixels tags, and other tools to collect browsing and activity information on our Services, on third-party sites and across different devices, which may be linked with certain offline data they may also collect IP address, device ID, cookie and advertising IDs, and other identifiers. These 3rd Party Advertisers may use this information to provide you more relevant ads and content and to evaluate the success of such ads and content. As a result, Cut+Dry ads may be displayed to you on a search results page or on third party sites.
You may also control how Facebook and other 3rd Party Advertisers display certain ads to you, as explained further in their respective privacy policies and ad preferences pages. You can also obtain more information about targeted advertising, and how to opt-out of receiving targeted ads from many third-party ad networks (including Facebook and Google) by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance).

We may share Personal Data in aggregated or de-identified formats, such as the usage and demographic and registration information described above or information created from Personal Data by removing direct personal identifiers, to third parties for any purpose to the extent not prohibited by law. For example, we may disclose the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, advertising banners. This Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of any aggregate or de-identified information created from Personal Data in any way, and we reserve the right to use, disclose, and sell de-identified information (including de-identified information combined with non-scrubbed information that is not your personally identifiable information) to our partners, advertisers, Cut+Dry users, and other third parties at our discretion to the extent permitted by law. “De-identified” means Cut+Dry has taken reasonable precautions to protect data de-identified from you from being re-identified to you.

Cut+Dry may share Personal Data with third parties in connection with, or during the negotiation of, any merger, sale of company stock or assets, financing, acquisition, divestiture, or dissolution of all or a portion of our business. In the event Cut+Dry sells certain of its assets or goes through a structural change, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution, Personal Data may be transferred to a third party as part of such event and thereby become subject to the privacy practices of that third party, which may materially different than those of Cut+Dry.

Cut+Dry, its affiliates and our partners may send cookies – small data files placed on a device’s hard drive or memory – to user’s devices in order to, among other things, identify the status of the user, customize the Sites and Services, and mitigate risks and the potential for fraud. In addition, in the course of serving advertisements to the Sites and Services, our third-party advertisers may place or recognize a unique cookie on browsers. Cookies can be removed or blocked in accordance with the browser’s help directions, but in doing so the Sites and Services may require a user to repeatedly identify herself and otherwise interfere with use of the Sits and Services. We may also collect information using web beacons (objects embedded in a web page or email which are used to check if a user has accessed content). Further, if you view a web page created by a third party or use an application created by a third party, those third parties may use their own cookies or web beacons that are not subject to Cut+Dry’s control or this Policy. Cut+Dry does not respond to “do not track” browser signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers with choice regarding the collection of tracking information and allow third parties operating on the Services to collect personally identifiable information about and/or track your behavior on the Services and across websites. We use third party cookies on our Service as well.
V. Data Security

However, please note that Cut+Dry’s security measures may change or be unavailable from time to time and no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data.
VI. Data Retention
Cut+Dry will retain Personal Data where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with our Sites and Services, resolve disputes, and to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or aggregate it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then unless otherwise required by applicable law we will securely store your Personal Data until deletion is commercially practicable.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control or to people that we do not employ or manage. For example, if you choose to pay through a third-party mechanism offered on our Services, the information you choose to share with that third-party will be treated in accordance with that third-party’s privacy policy. This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, for the content of such third party features or the privacy practices, including third-party cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies, of such third parties.
