Companies Who Provide Services To Us

In particular, when a court order or subpoena requires us to disclose information, we notify the customer promptly to provide an opportunity to exercise his or her legal rights. The only exceptions to this policy are when court order or law prohibits us from notifying the customer, or in cases in which fraud and/or criminal activity is suspected.
