What is HubSTREET's relationship to Ning?

Do we share personal information with others?

We do not rent, sell or disclose your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals for uses not described in this Privacy Policy. Ning may have different policies regarding the disclosure of your personally identifying information. See the Ning Privacy Policy

We may release your personal information where we are required to do so by law, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena, or in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

We may also disclose your personal information in the course of a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition or liquidation of the company, where the receiving party agrees to comply with this Privacy Policy.

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect whenever we have reason to believe that use or disclosure may be necessary to identify possible violations of the HubSTREET Member Agreement, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons who or entities that may be violating our rights or the rights of any user or of others, or to protect the security of our software, products and services, websites and users, or to protect us from liability.

Agents and contractors of ours who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
