When We Share You Information with Third Parties
We may share your profile information with third parties for purposes that may be beneficial to you.
You may then see on your profile page advertisements and promotions related to those things you have indicated an interest in. For example, you may be a fan of a specific author or music group. You may then see ads and promotions for that author’s new book or the next concert or album release of that music group. We do not provide to any third party any information that is not in your public profile.
We will not provide user contact information to third parties without the permission of the user. There are times when we may share some of your information. Typical examples would be as follows:

- If you should purchase something on our site, a third party processor will handle that purchase. We use a payment processor with SSL certification, and payments are secure.
- If there is a request for your information by any legal or law enforcement authority, we will share that information with those parties. At the same time, if we should suspect that any user has violated certain parts of the Terms and Conditions agreement (e.g., post pornographic material that is legally prohibited, engage in fraud) we will contact local, state and/or federal law enforcement officials.
- If either full or partial ownership of the All Top Reviews site or company should be transferred to another entity, user information will be transferred to that new owner/entity.
