We may also share Personal Data with third parties when necessary to fulfill your requests for Services, to meet the terms of any agreement that you may enter into with us or our partners, to comply with applicable law, or to manage our business.

We may share or disclose information collected through the Digs Technology when we determine, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with applicable law or a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of the Digs Terms and Conditions of Use, to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, or to facilitate the financing, securitization, insuring, sale, assignment, bankruptcy, or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets.

How We Protect Your Information
We utilize commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to help protect information under our control against loss, misuse, and alteration. We also require employees to comply with information security safeguards, we use encryption in the transmission of information, and we use firewalls and other intrusion detection and prevention controls to help prevent unauthorized access to information under our control.
While we utilize commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to help protect information under our control against loss, misuse, and alteration, please be aware that perfect security is not always possible, and that it is possible that information transmitted to or from us may be read or obtained by third parties.

Your Rights
You have the right to request access to the Personal Data that we have collected about you for the purposes of reviewing, modifying or requesting deletion of such data.

Third Party Services and Content
The Digs Technology permits you to share certain information publicly, and may enable you to share Personal Data with third-party websites or online services operated by third parties. For example, our website contains links and widgets for third-party websites that incorporate social media features. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose your information, not just to those third party websites and services, but also to their users and the public more generally. Because we do not operate these third-party websites and services, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data on such websites are subject to the privacy policies of those websites, and not this Privacy Policy.
The Digs Technology may also integrate certain third-party plugins (such as a Facebook “like” button). Even if you do not click on these plugins, they may collect information about you, including information that may constitute Personal Data. They may also employ cookies. These plugins are governed by the privacy policy of the party providing them.
