As a necessary part of providing our products and services, we may disclose information collected from you to the following categories of third parties for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy:

• We may disclose certain Personal Information about you to our affiliates, third-party service providers, agents, and contractors if this is necessary to provide you with our products and services, respond to your inquiries or for any other related purposes and so long as they are only using the Personal Information to provide services to us. We will ensure that if we share information with, or provide access to, third-party service providers or affiliates, any such disclosure or access is at all times in compliance with applicable data protection legislation.
• We may also disclose Personal Information to protect or defend the rights or property of Startup-O or users of the Services and/or to investigate any violation or potential violation of the law, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Use. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• We may also share your Personal Information with third parties who support our information technology or handle mailings on our behalf and our professional advisers.

The disclosures contemplated by this paragraph (“Necessary Disclosures”) are necessary if you wish to use our products and services. As mentioned above, we may use and disclose Non-Personal Information without restriction. If you do not want us to make such Necessary Disclosures, or to use Non-Personal Information without restriction, you must not use the Services.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful requests for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

We will only keep the information we collect about you for as long as required for the purposes set out above or as required to comply with any legal obligations to which we are subject. This will involve us regularly reviewing our files to check that information is accurate, up-to-date, and still required.

If you close an account you have with us or you decide not to go ahead with participating in one of our programs, we may still keep your information.

If you have subscribed to one or more of our products or services, communications, or mailing lists, you may unsubscribe by following the instructions which are included in any email that you receive or by contacting admin@goodoldstartup-o.com at any time.

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
