need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein
we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process
served on our Web site. This includes, but is not limited to, any
defense to any claim in which Barely Native is a defendant,
to assist in any investigations by law enforcement agencies, or
violations of any Barely Native policy.
Aggregate
Information (non-personally identifiable)
While Barely Native will not rent, sell or share your

information may be used. Barely Native does share aggregated
demographic information and in some cases your e-mail address with
others. This is how your information will be shared:

lease information about you if Barely Native is acquired by

another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’
personal information will, in most instances, be part of the
assets transferred. Users will be notified via e-mail, as well as
with a prominent notice on our Web site for at least 30 days prior
to a change of ownership or control of their personal information.

identifiable information will be used in a manner different from

Security:
Notification of Changes
If
we decide to change our privacy policy, changes will be posted to
this privacy statement, our homepage, and other places we deem
conspicuous and appropriate so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. Barely Native will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected. If, however, we are going to use users’ personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time of collection, users will be notified via e-mail. Users
will then be presented with a choice as to whether or not we become
authorized to use their information in this different way. However,
if users have opted out of all communication with the site, they
will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used
in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in
our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web
site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a
notice we will also email users (who have opted to receive
communications from Barely Native), notifying them of the
changes in our privacy practices.
Barely Native and its affiliates maintain professional
standards and have a high quality of respect to our members as well
as our guest and affiliates
