We may use certain information about you and/or certain of your data without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Website is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content. We may work with Google Analytics to help us understand how the Website is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage, how Users found our Website, and other non-personally identifiable information so we can deliver a better experience and improve the Website.

How We Share Your Information 

Personally Identifiable Information: We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties solely for the purpose of providing services to you, including fulfilling newsletter subscriptions. We may store personal information in locations outside our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

We do not share your personally identifiable information with third-party companies for their direct marketing use. As we develop our business, we may undertake corporate divestitures, mergers, a dissolution, or other business undertakings. User email and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our Website; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Umi, our customers or others.
