Our Purposes for Collecting Personal Information
We may use personal information where necessary to pursue the legitimate interests of IDI or a third party.
More specifically, we may use this information for our business purposes, which may include:

Third Parties to Whom We Share, Sell, or Disclose Personal Information
IDI may share, sell, or otherwise disclose the personal information we collect about you to:

Our Customers may include companies who incorporate our information into their own services for disclosure to their own customers. We restrict Customer access to certain personal information in our products and services based on a variety of factors, including: the type and sensitivity of the information; applicable laws and regulations; restrictions imposed on us by our third-party data sources; and our internal policies.

- Government, Law Enforcement, and Parties to Litigation. We may disclose information to government and/or law enforcement agencies where we reasonably determine that we are required to provide information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, legal process, or other government requests. We may also provide information to government and/or law enforcement agencies for purposes of preventing, detecting, and investigating fraud or other similar issues. We may provide information in connection with litigation purposes, for example, where we determine that we are required to furnish the information to protect our own rights or where we are subject to a subpoena or other legal obligation. In all such cases, we will take reasonable efforts under the circumstances to attempt to preserve the confidentiality of the information and restrict it from being used for other purposes.

Additional Information for Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, or Montana
Laws in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Montana provide their respective residents with certain rights regarding their “personal information” or “personal data” and “sensitive personal information” or “sensitive data” as those terms are defined within state law.

We will respond to your appeal and explain the basis for any decision we make.
Right to be free from discrimination
You may not be discriminated against for exercising your rights under any state’s privacy laws, as applicable to you. This includes denying you products or services, charging different prices for products or services, providing a different level or quality of products or services, or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services.
Requests submitted through authorized agents
California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Montana residents may designate an authorized agent in writing or through a valid power of attorney to exercise their rights under applicable privacy laws on their behalf.
If using an authorized agent without a power of attorney, the authorized agent must provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission authorizing the named agent to submit the request on your behalf. Also, you must (i) submit information enabling us to verify your identity and/or determine that the request is not fraudulent, such as a partial (i.e., first five digits or last four digits) Social Security Number, copy of your birth certificate, or a copy of your driver’s license, identification card issued by the motor vehicle administration or any other government issued identification, or (ii) directly confirm to us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf.
