with third
parties.
However, we
may disclose
personal
information
collected if
we have
received
your
permission
beforehand
or in very
special
circumstances,
such as when
we believe
that such
disclosure
is required
by law or
other
special
cases
described
below.

be asked to

certain
personal

when they

or Services
including
name,
address,
telephone
number,
billing
information
(such as a
credit card
number), and
the type of

computer
being used

may provide
a partner
certain
personal

such as the

the Services
as a result

assess the
results of
the
promotion.
In this
instance,

may not be

not the
