Safety and Lawful Requests: In case of lawful requests, such as court orders or subpoenas, or compliance with applicable laws, we may be required to disclose the Website's user information. As a general practice, we do not disclose user information unless we believe that the information requested from law enforcement or private litigants meets the legal standards that are applicable.

We may share your personal information to protect our interests or property if it is necessary to comply with applicable laws to prevent fraud or any illegal activity perpetrated through the Websites or while using the healthyactive.org name, or to protect the safety of any and all person(s).

This may include sharing information with lawyers, agents, other companies, or government agencies, depending on the severity.
