Sharing Information with Third Parties
Sale of Personal Information: The Company does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.

However, if our business practices change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. residents with notice and the opportunity to opt out of any sales of their personal information before such sales occur.
We may share personal information with third-party service providers, affiliates, or business partners as described in this Privacy Policy, but such sharing does not constitute a “sale” under applicable law because these parties are contractually prohibited from using your information for their own purposes.
The Company may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. We enter into written agreements with all such third parties that include appropriate data protection obligations consistent with the requirements of applicable law, including Virginia’s VCDPA for Virginia residents. All such third parties are contractually prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the Company, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and implement appropriate security measures.

- Comply with applicable data protection laws, including those of Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.
Upon request, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. residents may obtain a list of the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
For Protected Health Information, we execute Business Associate Agreements as required by HIPAA before sharing any PHI with third-party service providers. We will obtain your authorization before disclosing PHI except as permitted under HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Except in emergency situations or where prohibited by law, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice of such disclosure when legally permissible.
For Protected Health Information, disclosures will be made only as permitted or required by HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices. We will not disclose PHI in response to legal process without first verifying that the request satisfies HIPAA’s requirements, including obtaining satisfactory assurances that reasonable efforts have been made to notify the individual or to secure a qualified protective order.
Tracking User Behavior
The Company may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within the Company, in order to determine what the Company services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within the Company to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
