3. When Do We Share Your Personal Information

There are some circumstances where we may share your personal information with a third party. For example:

  • We reserve the right to disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, enforce our Terms of Use, respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Abdera, its affiliates, its customers, service providers, or the public.
  • We may share personal information with our affiliates or any business partners or agents acting on our behalf or with our financial, insurance, legal, accounting or other advisors that provide professional services to us.

We ensure that the company or individual adheres to this Privacy Policy.
  • We may share, disclose or transfer personal information to a buyer, investor, new affiliate, or other successor in the event Abdera or any affiliate, portion, group or business unit thereof, undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, consolidation, reorganization, divestiture, liquidation or dissolution (including bankruptcy), or a sale or other transfer of all or a portion of any assets of Abdera or any affiliates or during steps in contemplation of such activities (e.g., negotiations and due diligence).

6. Our use of cookies and log files

We use browser tracking cookies (or “cookies”), which are small text files that are placed on the hard disk of a computer by a website. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a website or web server that issued the cookie to you.  We also use browser “log files” which record certain information when you visit a website, including your IP address. To improve your experience on our Website, we use cookies and log files to: recognize you when you return to our Website; keep track of activity on our Website and remember what items you have clicked on or viewed; study how you navigate through our Website and which website you request in site searches so that we can improve the design, content and function of our Website; and customize the message, content and delivery of online banner advertisements and e-mails that reflect how you navigate to and through our Website based on your online behavior. We call this “Browsing Data”. We may hire third-party service providers to assist us in the collection and analysis of this Browsing Data collected through cookies, but none of your personal information is disclosed to these third party service providers.
