We routinely share personal information with:

  • Service providers: Third parties we use to help deliver our services to you, such as print suppliers who deliver products directly to you.

We ensure our service providers take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. They are contractually obligated to use your personal information only to provide services to us and to you.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a restructuring.
