We may use your Basic Information to contact you and (if applicable) your Collaborators to send information about the Services. If you or your Collaborators don’t want to receive email communications from us, follow the “unsubscribe” instructions at the bottom of any email message received from us. That said, there are certain types of important email communications that we need to always be able to send to you and your Collaborators (such as notifications about password changes, permissions changes, or changes to the Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy) for which you may not be given an “unsubscribe” option.
  2. “Secure Information” means your private, sensitive, personal information that you privately submit through the Services, including your health and medical information, financial information and legal information. While we may know whether and when you submitted a selected type or category of Secure Information, we do not during our standard daily business operations have access to the content or details of any Secure Information you privately submit through the services because it is encrypted. We will share your Secure Information only with your designated Read Or Write Access Deputy (as defined below) and only pursuant to your, or (if applicable) your Co-Administrator’s, explicit instruction, except when we are required to by law or in other rare circumstances, as described below.
