Although we make every effort to maintain the privacy of our users, we may need to disclose information to fulfill certain legal and regulatory requirements, or if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding or a court order or legal process served on us, or to assert or defend our legal rights, or to protect us or others from harm to persons or property.

We may disclose collective profiles of our user groups and their activities and preferences in describing our Site and services to prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

We may transfer user information in connection with a business transaction that takes place, such as a merger of Padres al Día with and into another entity, the acquisition of Padres al Día by another entity, or a sale of a portion of Padres al Día's assets to another entity.
