To Whom May Oso Internet Solutions Disclose Personal Information?
We may disclose personal information if it is necessary to render or conduct a legitimate business activity related to the services we provide to you. These kinds of disclosures typically involve billing and collections, administration, surveys, marketing, service delivery and customization, maintenance and operations, and fraud prevention, for example. We may also collect, use, and disclose information about you in non-personal or aggregate formats, such as service usage and other statistical reports, which do not personally identify you, your particular viewing habits, or the nature of any transaction you have made over the network. The frequency of any disclosure of personal information varies in accordance with our business needs and activities.
We may sometimes disclose personal information about you to our affiliates or to others who work for us. We may also disclose personal information about you to outside auditors, professional advisors, service providers and vendors, potential business mergers, acquisitions, or sale partners, and regulators. Typically, we make these disclosures when the disclosure is necessary to render or conduct a legitimate business activity related to the services we provide to you. We may be required by law or legal process to disclose certain personal information about you to lawyers and parties in connection with litigation and to law enforcement personnel.
