Our default practice is not to access your personal data. We do not disclose your information to third parties without your consent, except in the following cases:

• To provide the services you’ve requested: We use third-party services to run our applications. These services may process some of your identity information, but only to the extent necessary to provide functionality such as hosting, authentication, analytics, and customer support. These third parties are prohibited from using your information for marketing or other purposes. Some service providers may be located in the U.S. or other foreign jurisdictions.

• To troubleshoot issues, with your permission: If you request technical support, we may ask for temporary access to your account to investigate the issue. We will always ask for your consent before proceeding.

• When required under applicable law: We or our service providers may disclose your personal information in response to a legal inquiry, investigation, or government request. This may include cooperation with U.S. or foreign law enforcement authorities.

• In the event of a business acquisition: If Favs HQ, Inc. is ever acquired, merged, or undergoes corporate restructuring, your personal information may be transferred as part of the business assets.
