4. Sharing and Disclosure
Service Providers
We use vendors for hosting, content delivery, analytics, email, and support tools. They access data only to provide services under contractual safeguards.
Legal Compliance
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

In a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, personal information may be transferred to a successor entity subject to this Policy.
