We do not sell or lend your Personal Information to anyone in a personally identifiable form. We may transfer your Personal Information to third parties only in the described cases:

Or, we may allow Advertisers to serve ads to users with behavior similar to yours, but we cannot disclose information about their use of the Services, except in a generalized way, and only in a way that does not identify you. Please note that if an advertiser asks us to show ads to a specific audience and you view these ads, the advertiser may conclude that you match the description of the audience they are targeting. Sometimes our online pharmacy runs advertising campaigns on websites and applications of third parties (hereinafter collectively referred to as third parties).
