In those specific cases:

• We only share data with the partner who supplied the contacts

• We never share your information with any unrelated third party

Outside of these partner specific situations, your information remains fully confidential and used only by March Matters.

We do not share your information for advertising or marketing purposes outside of March Matters and our originating partners.
