WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH?

We do not share the information you submit to us to third parties for their marketing purposes. The information we collect when you use the website and purchase through it may only be shared or disclosed to a third party under the following circumstances.

4.1 Disclosures to Third Party Services Providers: Third-Party Service Providers (“Contractors”) are entities that perform some professional tasks for us in the course of the services rendered to you. Contractors need your information before they can fulfill the contract we have with them. For example, to process your payment, we need to share your payment method information with our payment processor. Also, to deliver the items you have ordered through the website, we will need to forward your shipping information to the relevant shipping agent or company.

Please note: Contractors have obligations (through the agreement between RIIS Helmets and them) to keep your information confidential and for nothing else other than fulfilling the task we have hired them to perform.

4.2 Disclosures under the Law and to Protect Rights: We may disclose personal information about you when such disclosures are believed to safeguard or protect our rights or other users; comply with the applicable law; to enforce our Terms and Conditions and the other agreements. These disclosures may include sharing information with law agencies, law enforcement, and other organizations, responding to court orders and subpoenas to protect against fraud, and carrying out investigations against claims.

Please note: The disclosure of your information under this paragraph will not occur unless it is backed in writing and from relevant agencies.

4.3 Disclosures under a Business Transfer: Business transfers mean any sale of us, a merger, consolidation, or acquisition. These are likely situations in the course of business. If any of these occurs, we will have no choice but to share information about you with the other company. For example, should we be acquired by another entity, your personal information will be accessed and controlled by the acquiring entity.

If the transfer of information as described under this section is to countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the European Union (“EU”), we will ensure such transfer is done in accordance with the laws of each country.
