3. When Clickpass Discloses Information:

Clickpass does not share your personally identifiable information with third party organizations for their marketing or promotional uses without your prior express consent.

Clickpass will verify your personal ID when requested by third party websites to do so. Clickpass will take reasonable steps to ensure that the third-party website is authorized to verify your ID, and if requested, or consented to, by you, to access any of your personal information. Upon your request or consent to share the information in your Clickpass profile with such third party site, Clickpass shall provide such information. Clickpass is not responsible for any third party use of your information that you provide to the third party, or request that Clickpass provide to such third party.

Clickpass may disclose Automatically Collected and other aggregate non-personally-identifiable information with interested third parties to assist such parties in understanding the usage and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, or other functionality of Clickpass.

We may disclose some limited User information to affiliated companies or other businesses or persons to: provide web site hosting, maintenance, and security services; conduct data analysis and create reports; offer certain functionality; and assist Clickpass in improving the Clickpass Service and creating new services features. We require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize only a limited use of such information, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.

Clickpass may disclose User information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright law) or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner required by the requesting entity.

Clickpass also reserves the right to disclose User information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability; protect Clickpass from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; to assist government enforcement agencies; to protect the security or integrity of the Clickpass Service; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Clickpass, our Users, or others.

Clickpass may also share information in accordance with Section 8 to any entity who acquires or mergers with or into Clickpass.
