If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

   1. You agree and acknowledge that any and all information pertaining to you may be shared by us with third parties (such as service providers who provide IT services) in accordance with your consent where required under applicable laws.
   2. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and according to our instructions.
   3. You agree and acknowledge that we may share data where we are required by law, any court, government agency, or authority to disclose such information.

   2. Upon completion of the retention period for each category of personal data, we will delete or destroy, to the extent technically possible, personal data in our possession or control, or render the personal data into anonymized data, so it no longer constitutes personal data.
