Who do we share your information with?

Service Providers: True Goods will not resell your personal information to third parties. However, there are third parties that provide services (e.g., credit card processing, shipping, data management and storage services) that require the disclosure of your information, which is necessary to complete our transactions.

Protection of True Goods: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law and/or a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on True Goods; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of True Goods, our website users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Other Disclosure Scenarios: Notwithstanding anything in this privacy policy to the contrary, we reserve the right, unless limited by applicable law, to share any information we have collected about you or that you have submitted: (1) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes, or to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights, or to defend against legal claims; (2) if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person; (3) if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action concerning situations that involve significant abuse of our website infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise the security of information); (4) to other companies under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities to honor this privacy policy); and (5) if we are acquired by or merged with another entity.
