We use personal data to provide you with information about Relation Trends, to properly deliver the service to you, and to market ourselves to you. It is our policy not to sell or share PII with third-party organizations (outside our corporate affiliates), except where we are obligated for fraud prevention and detection. We will never sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their marketing or other commercial purposes without your prior consent.
However, we may share your personal data with our agents and subcontractors to assist us with any of the uses of your data described in this policy. For example, we may use third parties to provide us with marketing or customer support, or send them to a credit card provider to process a payment.

By submitting PII to us, you acknowledge that once we have used your data in the manner described in this policy, we are not responsible for how third parties who receive and process your data use it.
