Disclosure as Required by Law. Although We make reasonable efforts to preserve user privacy, We may need to disclose PII of certain users of the Website when We have a reasonable and good-faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to enforce this Agreement, comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process, or otherwise enforce or protect Our rights under applicable law, including, without limitation, Our or Our Licensors’ intellectual property rights. In such situations, We will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of the disclosure to all affected users, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances.
Communication with Users and Cookies. We may send You a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username. You may also receive periodic e-mail alerts from Us if You have elected to receive such notices. We may use a “cookie” file which is stored on the hard drive of Your computer for purposes of facilitating Your use of the Website and Website Content, for example to save Your preferences, customize content of the Website for You, alert You to new areas that might be of interest upon return to the Website, and save certain information about You and others who visit the Website.
