The use of information that we provide to a recipient will be governed by the agreements or policies of that recipient.
  • Third-party Service Providers: We employ financial institutions, other companies, and individuals to perform functions on our behalf and transactions that you request or authorize.

In such transactions, user (or other customers) information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy notice (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). Also, in the event that Thirsty Bucket or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
  • Protection of Thirsty Bucket and Others: We release accounts and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our other agreements or policies; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies, organizations, and government or regulatory authorities for fraud protection and credit risk reduction as well as sharing information with our attorneys, auditors, and other representatives.
