personal information about you might go to third parties, and you will
have an opportunity to choose not to have us share that information. We
share personal information as described below:
Agents
We engage other companies and individuals to perform functions on our
behalf. Examples include providing marketing assistance, providing customer
services, sending postal mail and email to you, removing repetitive information
from customer lists, and analyzing data. These persons have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions.
Service Providers
We engage other companies and individuals to perform enhanced services
on our behalf. For example, to provide free electronic mail services or
to provide digital certificates to our customers. In addition, certain
of enhanced services require that we contact Internet directories and
various search engines on your behalf. Many of our service providers have
access to personal information needed to perform their services.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses
or their assets. In such transactions, customer information generally
is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if all or substantially
all of our assets were ever to be acquired, customer information will
of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of our website and others
We release account and other personal information when we believe release
is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services Agreement
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our
website, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.

to send you email regarding your account administration and necessary
information, such as renewal information.
How secure is information about me?
We work to protect the security of your information. You can further help
to ensure your security by taking a few simple precautions. For instance,
it is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
username and password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished
using a shared computer.
