We compare our user list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our users.

Who Do We Share Your Information with
Information about our users is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share user information only as described below and with affiliates of Argo Media that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
Affiliated Businesses: We work closely with affiliated businesses to constantly improve the digital content offered to you.
Third-Party Service Providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include maintaining the mobile app and service, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of users on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your preferences.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our service, we might sell or buy subsidiaries, orbusiness units. In such transactions, user 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, the user consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Argo Media Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Argo Media and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Argo Media, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from users for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Stripe.com: Credit card transactions are processed using Stripe.com, a secure third party payment processing company. When using your credit card to purchase our service, you may be redirected to their secure third party gateway in the form of an iframe popup. The information you provide for payment will be stored on their secure servers. We do not store any payment information on our servers for your protection.
