SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
US Sweeps does not sell, share, or disclose personal information we collect to other parties, except as provided for in this Policy.
US Sweeps may disclose information (i) if we are required to do so by law or regulation, or in good faith believe that such action is necessary to conform or comply with any legal, regulatory, law enforcement, or similar requirement or investigation, (ii) to protect or defend the rights or property of US Sweeps or third parties, or (iii) to enforce the US Sweeps Terms and Conditions.
In order to accommodate changes in our business, we may sell all or part of our company, as part of a merger, acquisition, liquidation, or bankruptcy.

We may share the information we collect with third party vendors who process data on our behalf, such as email service providers. We may also share your information with your consent or as otherwise disclosed at the time of data collection or sharing.
DIGITAL ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS
We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time, including information about relationships among different browsers and devices. This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.
US Sweeps adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this interest-based advertising activity. You may visit the DAA Webchoices tool at www.aboutads.info to learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, you may need to renew your opt-out choices exercised through the DAA Webchoices tool. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your browser may offer tools to limit the use of cookies or to delete cookies; however, if you use these tools, our Site may not function as intended.
We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes. US Sweeps uses Google Analytics and other third-party services to improve the performance of the Site and for analytics and marketing purposes.

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect personal information provided to us on the Site. These steps are intended to protect against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet transmission, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure or reliable. Despite our best efforts to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
THIRD PARTY LINKS AND TOOLS
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or apps. These third-party websites and apps have separate and independent privacy policies.
