Information about you is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling your personal information to others. We share personal information only as described below and with Amazon.com, Inc. and companies owned and controlled by Amazon.com, Inc. and that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
• Transactions involving Third Parties: We may make available to you services, products, or applications provided by third parties for use on or through APS Services. For example, to offer installment payment options and consumer lending options from third parties. We may also offer services or sell product lines jointly with third-party businesses. You can tell when a third party is involved and we share personal information in connection with those interactions with that third party.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We employ financial institutions, other companies, and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, verifying identity, fraud screening, and providing customer service. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that APS or substantially all of its assets are acquired, information regarding customers will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of APS and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to: comply with the law (including responding to regulatory authorities); comply with payment method rules or requirements; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use, terms and conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of APS, Merchants, or others. You agree to APS sharing and disclosing personal information as described above to any competent financial intelligence unit charged with fighting money laundering and terrorism financing for the specific purposes described in this paragraph. This also includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third-parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
