3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help operate the Service, including hosting, database, authentication, analytics, email, file storage, and support providers. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
