our Service Providers and/or third-party marketing partners with the information
necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf. Each Service Provider
and/or third-party marketing partner must agree to use reasonable security procedures
and practices, appropriate to the nature of the information involved, in order to

unethical, or legally actionable activity, or to comply with the law.
