Notwithstanding the foregoing, we collect the following Personally Identifiable Information when you become a member: first and last name, postal address, email address, telephone number (including mobile telephone number). As a subscriber or a member, you may populate the Website with additional information that may be used for contacting and matching purposes.

We use the Personally Identifiable Information you provide us to populate content on this Website, personalize your experience in connection with the Services provided on this Website, contact you about your membership and membership benefits, answer questions and fulfill requests you may have regarding our Services and your membership, identify or prevent the dissemination of illegal activities on this Website, enforce the Terms of Use, and verify the accuracy of provided content.

We do not rent or sell Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for any purpose, including direct or indirect marketing.
We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to third parties to investigate or prevent potential or actual illegal activities, fraud, violations of the Terms of Use, or other activities on this Website deemed unsuitable. We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties to assist us in providing you with the Services to which you subscribe and use on this Website; if we do, we also require such third parties to protect the Personally Identifiable Information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and not use the Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us. In addition, we may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to a third party in the event we are acquired by or merged with that third party.
