We may provide statistical usage data in the aggregate–not information about you personally–to our partners about how visitors use the website and related information services. From time to time, we may conduct research on our visitors’ demographics, interests, and/or behavior based on the information you provide to us upon registration, on order forms, as well as from our server log files or from surveys. We may do this to better understand and serve our viewers and visitors. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis and we may share this aggregated data with advertisers or other businesses.
In some cases, we may disclose information about you to a third party if we are required to do so by law or if we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law or legal process, to protect and defend our rights or to prevent misuse of our website or related information services, or to protect the personal safety or property of our viewers and visitors or the public.
In the event of a corporate change in control resulting from, for example, a sale to, or merger with, another entity, or in the event of a sale of assets or a bankruptcy, First To Knock reserves the right to transfer your personally identifiable information to the new party in control or the party acquiring First To Knock assets.

In case of a sale or asset transfer.

Data Security
