Disclosure of your personal information

Except as described below, personal data that you provide to Star Prototype via our websites will not be shared outside of Star Prototype, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its joint ventures without your consent.

Disclosure to service providers. Star Prototype contracts with other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, sending out information, processing transactions, and analyzing our websites. We provide these companies with only those elements of your personal information they need to deliver those services. These companies and their employees are prohibited from using those personal information for any other purposes.
Disclosure in connection with transactions. In connection with certain transactions, we may disclose some or all of your personal information to financial institutions, government entities, and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfilling the transaction.
Disclosures in connection with acquisitions or divestitures. Circumstances may arise where for strategic or other business reasons Star Prototype decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize particular businesses. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is Star Prototype’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
Disclosure on collaborative websites. Some of our websites promote collaboration among registered users with respect to a particular area or topic. On those websites, we may share your username with other participants to label comments or suggestions that you make as yours. We do not, however, share your name, contact details, or other personal data with other users of those collaborative websites.
Disclosure for other reasons. We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.
