- When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender,
zip code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. For some financial products and services we

Information Sharing and Disclosure
- Deep Virtual does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or
nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have
your permission, or under the following circumstances:
- We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Deep Virtual under
confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Deep Virtual
communicate with you about offers from Deep Virtual and our marketing partners. However, these
companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
- We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our
legal rights or defend against legal claims;

action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats
to the physical safety of any person, violations of Deep Virtual's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
- We transfer information about you if Deep Virtual is acquired by or merged with another company.
In this event, Deep Virtual will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes
subject to a different privacy policy.
- Deep Virtual displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers
(including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted
ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
- Deep Virtual does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view
a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility
that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

and mortgage lenders) and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
