so that we may use such information to better personalize

All such information will be protected in accordance with

USA
Export Import will not sell, rent or barter your personal
information other than to its business partners as set forth
herein. However, we may from time to time aggregate
statistical information regarding our customers, traffic
patterns and site usage, or sell our research, which may
contain aggregate information. In addition, we may report
aggregate information to our advertisers. Such aggregate
information will not individually identify any user.
In
order to provide you with co-branded services, and to improve
our features, we will sometimes share your information with
our partners.
We
reserve the right to disclose any information if such action
is necessary (a) to conform to the requirements of the law
or to comply with legal process or subpoena served on USA
Export Import, (b) to protect and defend the legal rights
or property of USA Export Import, the Site, or its users,
or (c) in an emergency, to protect the health and safety
of its users or the general public. We further reserve the
right to release any information concerning any user if
that user participates (or is reasonably suspected of participating)
in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant,
or other court order. We cooperate with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers
or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the
right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement
for investigation or prosecution.
It
is possible that USA Export Import, its subsidiaries, its
joint ventures, or any combination of such, could merge
with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such
a combination occur, you should expect that USA Export Import
would share some or all of your information in order to
continue to provide the service. Notice of any such event
(to the extent it occurs) will be posted on the USA Export
Import website, and we will require that the new combined
entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
