We do not disclose your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties except as provided in his Privacy Policy, as follows:
Service Providers: To assist us in running our business and to perform certain services and
functions, we may share your Personal Information with third-party providers of hosting, payment processing, transfer agent, email communication and customer support services, analytics, marketing, and advertising service providers (including Google, Facebook, Instagram, Mixpanel, Cybersource, Adjust, Wells Fargo and Zendesk among others), which companies provide integrated services to us as part of our product.
Affiliates: We may share information with our affiliates, meaning an entity that controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with Middlechase. Our affiliates may use the Personal Information we share in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
For Legal Reasons: We may share your Personal Information to the extent we reasonably
believe we are required to do so by law or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or to protect against fraud, illegal activity, or to otherwise protect Middlechase against liability.
In Connection with a Corporate Transaction: In the event of a transaction or proposed transaction involving the transfer of substantially all of the assets of Middlechase or one or more of its businesses to another entity, whether an affiliate or a third party, or in connection with a bankruptcy, we may share your Personal Information in the diligence process or to otherwise facilitate the transaction, and with individuals assisting in the transaction or in connection with a bankruptcy.

Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Similar Technologies: A cookie is a small amount of data, often including a unique identifier, which is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies, as follows:
Session cookies: We use session cookies to improve navigation on our Site and to collect
aggregate statistical information. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to use the Site, you cannot refuse them.
“Persistent” cookies: Persistent cookies are bits of information that are placed on the hard
drive of your computer and can remain for extended periods of time. Persistent cookies also enable us to provide enhanced, more personal features (such as showing or hiding notifications), and track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site. The types of persistent cookies used on the Site are described in more detail below. You may set your browser so that it does not accept cookies, and you may also use the direct opt-out tools provided by the parties described below. If you do not enable or if you disable cookies, however, you may not be able to access certain personalized
features of our Services.
We may also use so-called “pixel tags” – small graphic images (also known as “web beacons”
or “single-pixel images”) – to tell us what parts of our website have been visited or to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns on our Site. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on our Site. Pixel tags inform us whether emails have been opened, to help ensure that our messages are of interest to our users. We may tie the information gathered by pixel tags to our users’ Personal Information, in which case it will be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
In particular, the Site uses
Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Site.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling reports on Site activity for Site operators and providing other services relating to Site activity and internet usage, including tracking which pages of our Site you visit so we can optimize your experience with our Site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have implemented the IP anonymization feature in Google Analytics which anonymizes your IP address to protect individual privacy. You can opt-out from the collection of this information by Google by downloading and installing a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
