We may share your Personal Data with third-party service providers for business purposes (as we have done for the preceding months). This Personal Data may include personal identifiers (such as your name and email address), and internet or other electronic network activity information (such as your IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, carrier and/or manufacturer, device identifiers, and mobile advertising identifiers), and location data. We disclose these categories of Personal Data to service providers who assist us in fulfilling the following business purposes:

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
