3. Does TextThread.com
Share the Information It Receives?
Information about
our customers is an important part of our business, and
we are not in the business of selling it to others. TextThread.com
customers must opt to share their information. If you have
opted to share your information, we only share information
with TextThread.com business partners who also respect privacy
concerns.
We may release account
and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Terms
and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of TextThread.com, our users, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We may employ other
companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples include fulfilling orders, sending e-mail, removing
repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data,
providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments,
and providing customer service. They have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but may not
use it for other purposes. In the event that TextThread.com
is acquired or acquires another company, customer information
will be one of the transferred assets.
4. Information
Security
TextThread.com protects
your information by using industry-standard encryption technologies
when transferring and receiving consumer data. When you
