We transfer to third parties and/or release to the public certain aggregate information (for example about the visiting habits of our visitors generally or of groups of our visitors), but that information will not contain information that identifies you and therefore is not personal information.

USF may disclose personal information to third party consultants and service providers (such as providers of hosting and support services) to the extent that they require access to our databases, or the information contained in our databases, to service USF and USFC.com.

USFC.com's Security. USF reserves the right to release personal information when we believe that the law requires us to do so or when we believe it is necessary to protect and/or enforce the rights, property interests, or safety of USF, our users or others.

Reorganization or Sale of USF. In the event that USF is merged with or becomes part of another organization, or in the event that USF is sold or it sells all or substantially all of its assets, the information you provide will be one of the transferred assets.
