We may share information only in the following cases: (a) with your consent; (b) to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or government request; (c) to protect the rights, safety, or property of KaraLocal, our users, or the public; or (d) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (in which case you would be notified).
