will disclose your name to other users who
have indicated that they are employed by
the same corporate or business entity. You
cannot opt out of having your name disclosed

b) Disclosure to
Law Enforcement and Governmental Authorities:
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory
environment, we cannot ensure that all of
your private communications and other personally
identifiable information will never be disclosed
in ways not otherwise described in this
Privacy Policy. By way of example (without
limiting the foregoing), we may be forced
to disclose information to the government
or third parties under certain circumstances,
or third parties may unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private communications.
We can (and you authorize us to) disclose
any information about you to law enforcement
or other government officials as we, in
our sole discretion, believe necessary or
appropriate, in connection with an investigation
of fraud, "hacking," intellectual
property infringements, or other activity
that is illegal or may expose us to legal
liability. Accordingly, although we use
industry standard practices to protect your
privacy, we do not promise, and you should
not expect, that your personally identifiable
information or private communications will
remain strictly private.

As a general proposition, we do not sell
or rent any personally identifiable information
about you to any third party. The following
describes the ways that your personally
identifiable information may be disclosed.

to these entities any information that could
be used to personally identify you.
