5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes. We share data only in these limited circumstances:

If such a transfer occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to notify affected users via email or a prominent notice on the Service before personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
