4. When will Fresh Start Bible share my information with others?

We share your information with third parties when we believe it is permitted by you, reasonably necessary to offer our services, or when we are legally required to do so. For example:

To Help Improve or Promote our Service. Sometimes we share aggregated information with third parties to help improve or promote our service. We only share this information in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked to any specific action or information. 

To Provide You with Services. We may provide information to service providers that help us bring you the services we offer. We implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide the service. 

To Respond to Legal Requests and Prevent Harm. We may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law. This may include respecting requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, apply to users from that jurisdiction, and are consistent with generally accepted international standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect ourselves and you from people violating our Terms  of Use. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities. 

Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control. If our organization’s ownership changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in this Privacy Policy.
