• If we think that sharing it is necessary to enforce the terms of a contract with you or to protect the rights, property or safety of Chura or the services provided by Chura.
• To enable us to comply with the law or to satisfy a legitimate government request or an order of any court of competent jurisdiction or any regulatory authority or, if necessary, to defend Chura or its Subscribers (for example, in a lawsuit).
• In connection with the sale or transfer of our business or any part thereof.
• If you request a service or product that is administered by a third party, in order to allow us to respond to the request. If such third party is working for Chura it may also send back to Chura any new information obtained from you.
• To allow us to co-operate with law enforcement agencies to identify anyone who uses our Service for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we believe are unlawful including exchanging information with other companies, organisations and agencies for the purposes of fraud protection.
• To third parties who provide services to Chura (such as such as administration or technical services). However we ensure that such partners do not use Personal Data for any other purposes, do not disclose it to anyone else and that they do not retain copies except as necessary to provide services to us or as required by law.

In this event we will contact you via email, in-Service messaging or publication on Chura’s website.
