2.2. Upon Consent
We may share your information, including Personal Information, with third parties if you provide us with authorization to do so.
2.3. Service Providers
We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers, but only to the extent necessary for them to assist us in providing our Services.

2.4. Responses to Legal Process, Subpoenas or Court Orders
We will not voluntarily disclose your Personal Information.

If legally permitted and feasible, we will give you notice of our receipt of a demand for your Personal Information and provide you a reasonable time in which to seek to quash such demand in court, or otherwise obtain a withdrawal or modification of the demand, before complying with the demand.
2.5. Business Transfers
Your Personal Information may be included in the event that some or all of our assets are sold, assigned or transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. As a general matter, however, an acquiring party cannot retroactively change the Privacy Policy that was in place when DYgreencard collected your Personal Information.
2.6. Academic Research
We may share non-personally identifiable and non-privileged information about you and other users, in aggregate form, to third-party academic researchers. We require all third-party researchers to use such anonymized information for no purposes other than academic research.

Please note that you may still receive information from third parties to whom we have disclosed your information prior to the time you opted-out. You should contact each party in the event that you no longer want to receive information from such party.

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the security of your User Information. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent our computers from being illegally accessed, and the data on them stolen or altered, and we assume no liability or responsibility to you or to any third party arising out of any loss, misuse, destruction, or alteration of your User Information. You should always take great care in handling and disclosing your personal information. For example, avoid sending personal information through insecure email.
