These providers are granted access to your information strictly to perform their designated tasks for us and are legally obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
- With Affiliate Partners (Merchant Sites): When you click on an affiliate link and proceed to a merchant's website to make a purchase, we may share non-personally identifiable information, such as a unique transaction ID or details about the specific offer redeemed.

We will endeavor to notify you of any such transfer and any choices you may have regarding your information.
