(b) We do not collect other information such as the web pages you visit, add-ons, or other information that occurs outside your use of the Web Site. What limited Web Site-specific information we do collect is done in such a way that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.

We may also collect similar information from SMS sent to our users which then help us track which SMS are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.

We reserve the right to disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials, or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), at the request of governmental authorities or other third parties conducting an investigation, to protect the property and rights of MyJoVE or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, fraudulent, unethical or legally actionable activity.
4.1 If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of MyJoVE or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your information as described under Section 1.1 above, and any other information collected through the Web Site may be among the items sold or transferred. The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.
5.1 We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.
5.2 You understand that we can be legally prohibited from disclosing the existence or non-existence of a legal request for your information.
5.3 If we receive a request from a jurisdiction and we believe that request to be inequitable, not lawful, or not consistent with internationally recognized standards, we may not comply with that request. As a result, you understand and agree that you may lose access to the Web Site in that jurisdiction. You further understand and agree that we will not provide any refund or compensation for any loss to you or any other party under such circumstances.
