■ HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFORMATION  

We take your privacy and trust of us seriously.  So we do not sell your personal information to marketers outside of Planit. We share your personal information only as described below and within Planit.

In general, we do not share personal information with marketers outside of Planit unless we have clearly asked for and obtained your explicit consent.

Please note that we provide our service providers with only the personal information they need to perform their services and we require that they protect this information and not use it for any other purpose.

• Combine personal information about you that Planit has collected with personal information about you that our business partner has collected so we can jointly send tailored promotional communications to you. In such instances, our business partner will not have direct access to any information we share about you with the service provider, and only the service provider will be allowed to use the combined set of information to send you joint communications that we hope will be of interest to you.
