In such event, we will obtain your consent prior to using your information for such other purpose, and you will thereafter have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.

6. How We Share the Information About You
We do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you, except as described in this privacy notice.
We may share your personal information with our affiliates. Affiliates that receive this information from us are not authorized to use or disclose the information except as provided in this privacy notice.
We may share your personal information with vendors that provide services to us, such as processing and fulfilling orders, providing data storage and processing and other information technology services, and hosting events.

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, we decide to sell or transfer all or a portion of our business. We may transfer information we have collected and stored, including your personal information, to the party or parties involved in such transaction. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that those parties treat your personal information in accordance with this notice after the transaction is completed. However, we encourage you to review the privacy notice again after the transaction completes because, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that these new parties will have the same privacy policies after the transaction is completed.
We reserve the right to use or disclose personal information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of our Website and services, to bring or defend against legal claims, to protect the rights, interests, safety and security of Veriforce, our employees or partners, or members of the public, or in connection with the investigation of fraud, illegal activity or violation of Veriforce’s policies.

If you do opt out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still send communications to you about your transactions with us or about any events or presentations for which you have registered. Opting out of one form of communication does not mean you’ve opted out of other forms as well.
How You Can Access, Review, Change, Delete or Receive your Personal Information

We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. If circumstances cause any delay in our response, you will be promptly notified and provided a date for our response. Your requests pursuant to this paragraph will be fulfilled free of charge, unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character.
