The contents of your online communications, as well as other information about you as an Joker's Empire Network user, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); in other circumstances in which Joker's Empire Network believes the Joker's Empire Network is being used in the commission of a crime; when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; or when necessary either to protect the rights or property of Joker's Pub, the Joker's Empire Network or its affiliated providers, or for us to render the service you have requested.

The Joker's Empire Network may use agents and contractors in order to help operate the Network. If such agents and contractors have access to personally identifiable information, they are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for the Joker's Empire Network.

In the event that ownership of the Joker's Empire Network was to change as a result of a merger, acquisition or transfer to another company, your Joker's Empire Network information may be transferred. If such a transfer results in a material change in the use of your Joker's Empire Network information, the Joker's Empire Network will provide notice about the choices you have to decline to permit such a transfer.

This choice does not apply to the sharing of Joker's Empire Network information necessary to provide you the basic functionality of the Network (for example, recognizing you as an authenticated user on affiliated providers' Web sites or services). Additionally, the Joker's Empire Network may share personally identifiable Joker's Empire Network information with one or more of its affiliated providers when that information is necessary to carry out a specific transaction or request you make for an offering from the Network or its affiliated providers, or as otherwise specified at the time you take advantage of that particular Network offering.

Because the choices you make in connection with your Joker's Empire Network information may not take effect immediately, it is possible you may receive a communication during the period in which your request is being processed.
