Personal Information submitted via the Website may be submitted to third parties authorised by you to allow the App to function correctly.

Also, we may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure.

We are not liable for activity that results from your own neglect to protect your password and user name. If you share a computer with anyone, you should always log out of your account after you are finished, in order to prevent access to your information from subsequent users of that computer.
